Adam Bede, the Pine City humcr ist, has a new one on a man in New York who went to his lawyer and wanted to get a divorce because his wife had joined the suffragists. “What's the matter?” the lawyer men know one another well, is the cement that holds together this union of the States. It is not created in great cities. “Great cities give much in alms, but little in justice. Only as we know each other well can we treat each other justly; and the city is a wilderness of carelcss strangers whose instincts of humanity are daily becoming more and more blunted to suffering, because in the nature of things suffering in cities must ve impersonal. It is not the suffering of friends and neighbors and kith ard kin as it is in the smaller towns. So the mail order house crushing out our towns is drying up the milk of human kindness in our hearts. “And that brings us back to first principles; if we who live in these small towns in America cannot see that our duty to our country lies fir t of all in our duty to our neighbors, then we are blind indecd to the basis of real patriotism, for after all patrio- tism is only neighborly kindness, asked. “‘Isn’t she a good wife?” ; Cohasset Cullings j COHASSET kal Dick Remus was a business visitor in town Monday from Vermilion.
