Copyright, 1915, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World), FEW daye ago a man whom I knew took hie life. He was @ young man and had é \ the world before him. He was graduated from a great univer- aity and had been an editor of a well known magasine. The only reason for bis act was that he thought he was “down-and out.” He had lost bio position and seemed dejected because he had not found another one, and he gave up the battle before he really had be- gun to fight. In other words, he al- lowed this belief that he was “down- and-out" to grow on him unt!l he lost control of his fighting facilities and gave up. I could not help reflecting on the pity of it all and that there are many other who give up TOO SOON, ‘There are those who, though they do not despair to the extreme that this you man did, | at them- eelves through gray gl that the wear and tear creates ym that shuts out all thought ness, ja man had the whole world be- fore him, if only he had looked it squarely in the face, The great take was that he took defeat as 5 when it was oni: Defeat is onty H recognizes it.

WISH, after all I have said about wit and humor, I could satisfy myself of the good effects upon the char- acter and disposition, but I am convinced the probable tendency of both is to corrupt the understand- ing and the heart. I am not speak- ing of wit where it is kept down by more serious qualities of mind and thrown into the background of the picture, but where it stands ‘out boldly and emphatically and is evidently the master quality in any particular mind. Profensed wits are generally courted for the am for the qualities they possess, The habit of seeing things in @ witty point of vi increases and makes incursions from its own proper regi upon principles and opinion: which are oye, held sacred by the wise witty man is a dramatic in process of time he con st without applause than he can exist without air. If his audi- be small or inattentive, or if a ew wit defrauds him of any portion of his admiration, it is all over with him—he sickens and is extinguished.

Little Talks Lenten Weeks in Rome. ROM Pope to parishioner every Catholic in Rome ia made to feel that the days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday are truly days apart. The Lenten indult promulgated for observance throughout the of Italy and Europe, though severe in some of its provisions, is by no means so strict as that which prescribe rules for the Lenten conduct of the residents of the Vatican itself. In that restricted region the most par- ticular observance of the laws of ab- etinence and fasting is required, and when Easter Day comes all residents of Rome who owe allegiance to the Church must partake of the Holy Communion. Cards are issued In Rome to those who have fulfilled their —aster duties, and any parishioner who has no card to display will seek in vain for sym~ pathy or Indulgence at the hand of his priestly director during the reat of the sacred year.
