DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Group Group Group Group Many a man gets out of patience with his wife’s folks, and vice versa, but few would willingly go to jail to get rid of them. John Jurasek of Chicago, is one of the few, and when charged with non-sup- port told the judge: “Please send me to jail so I can get away from my wife’s rela- tions; they’re driving me crazy.” The judge obliged with a sentence of 30 days, promis- ing to extend it if desired. Farmers who poured gasoline into a hole where a 7-foot rattlesnake had been seen to disappear near Oakland Park, Fla., got surprising results. Not only. did the big rattler come forth, but 49 young ones about two feet long came forth also. After a.spirited battle with hoes, shovels and clubs, all the reptiles were killed without casualties to the farmers. The most formidable looking new aspirant for football honors reported this season is a freshman at Arkansas Tech. He is Kirkman Stubblefield from Evergreen, La., 20 years old, six feet five inches tall and weighs over 260 pounds. What was perhaps a new record in rapid transportation is reported from De- troit. Nine days after an order, for two automobiles was received in that city the cars were delivered in Lima, Peru, having been knocked down, crated and shipped the entire distance by airplanes. ‘Rev. Lewis MacLachlan of St. George’s Presbyterian Church in London is skeptical of young men of. other denominations who are attracted to his services. He says, “‘I have known them to profess conversion*to the principles of Presbyterianism and have found later that the principle was incarnate in one of the pretty girls in my choir.” Another Will Rogers has gotten’into the press dispatches, this time an 81-year- old veteran in the Leavenworth soldiers’ home. He wants a divorce from a woman who insisted on marrying him while he was on a drunk in Wichita, Kan. that he at first refused, but capitulated after she had supplied a few more drinks. Police Chief Holmes of Niles Center, Til, has always tried to suppress automobile stealing in his bailiwick, but is now more determined and zealous in his efforts than ever. Recently while he was having din- ner with a friend some culprit stole the chief's brand new car. Owing to the scarcity of real money, much barter is going on in various sections, and some odd trade proposals are reported. The placement bureau of the University of Washington can give a co-ed an oppor- tunity for part time work in an office in exchange for osteopathic treatments, but has-been unable to find a patient. He declares | | | H THE KEY WEST CITIZEN IN PURITAN DAYS Some interesting facts concerning the life of New England Puritans immediately after the Revolution are related by Arthur Train in his “Puritan’s Progress,” after extensive research | records, newspapers, early documents. There were few roads and no good ones, so most journeys were made on horse- back. The first systematic stage route be- tween New York and Boston bégan opera- tion in 1783, the trip taking from eight to ten days. Relatives living only ten miles apart sometimes visited one another only once or twice a year. 1 There were no hospitals or trained nurses, no anesthetics, no vaccination against smallpox which caused countless deaths. If teeth were given any attention it was by rubbing with gunpowder applied with a wooden stick. While gambling with cards and _lot- teries prevailed generally, theatrical per- formances were unlawful, and so was kiss- | ing on Sunday, even by husband and wife. An official made his rounds on Sundays to see that everyone went to church. In the few schools which existed the Bible was the principal textbook. Harvard students had to get up for chapel at six, and retired when the curfew rang at nine. They had to call at the kitchen for their bread and milk, which was eaten in their rooms, in which no lights were allowed. Women usually married .young and died young, the average family being nine or ten, with twenty-or more children not unusual, but about half of them died be- fore maturity. And considering the hard conditions under which they would have been forced,to live, those who died early may pare been lucky at that. LIVING INSURANCE According to the ancient humorous tradition, we should look upon the life in- surance salesman as a nuisance and a pest, to be avoided whenever possible. As a matter of fact, we should look upon him as a benefactor and a friend. Many of us, in these times, have come to do that. The public attitude toward life insurance has changed. It is no longer re- garded as arather unpleasant necessity, which will take care of dependents after our death. It is being seen in its true light —as an investment, a creator of wealth and a protector for ourselves as well as others. More money is paid by life insurance compahies to living policyholders than to beneficiaries of deceased policyholders. Life insurance, in brief, is exactly what the term implies—living insurance. Through diversifying the risk, life in- surance gives us what no other investment of a comparable nature can give us—the highest degree of safety that can be hu- manly attained. It is the perfect invest- ment for the person of moderate means— the peftson who has no money to risk in speculation. When he puts his money in a life insurance policy, it is as if he gave it to a large committee of financial experts, operating under stringent laws, and with gigantic reserve funds behind them for the protection of himself and others like him; to invest. It is no wonder that life insur- ance sales held to a high level when sales: in almost all other fields were a fraction of what they used to be. FAKE ANTIQUES As Barnum so truly said, people like to be humbugged, and few fields offer greater opportunities for indulging their love of humbuggery than buying of an- tique—paintings, fiddles, furniture and what not. A Missouri paper tells of the vast quantities of “ancient” candlesticks which have been sold to tourists as relics 0 pioneers who settled the Ozark country. It declares that more “antiques” of one kind and another have been sold than could be crowded into all the present homes and barns of that region. It relates that one man paid $1,400 for a walnut stump to be manufactured into “antique furniture used by Missouri pioneers.” Which recalls the statement of a wag to the effect that the natives of Saoma make a living by selling copra and Robert Louis Stevenson's inkstand. The Atlantic fleet is being kept in the Pacific for reasons of economy, but Japan thinks it’s because of Japan. written | into old town | leiters and other | The hour-glass was still used as a | timepiece, fires were lit with flint and steel. !
