' 4-14-4 SATISFIED WITH SIMPLE LIFE People, of the Latin Countries Take Things Less Seriously Than We Do In the North. They take things less seriously down In the Andes country. The Latin races live their Uvea easily. There la a lack of realization of the seriousness and meaning of life, an habitual Inclination to take things lightly. With no strug gle to better their lot In life or fight against untoward circumstances, they calmly resign themselves to the fate of the unseen hand. In family life there Is much affectionate generosity and contentment; life for them Is simpler and less intense .than In Anglo Saxon countries. There the women care little for the ballot Are they backward? Does civ ilization lag? Perhaps; but thoso who travel there declare that the morning star of duty as wife and mother, even In their limited conception of Its mean ing, shines all the brighter In comparison. In their own wide rami fied family circles their influence Is felt, while their outside interest cen ters in tho church. The wealthy senora Is looked up to by her poorer sisters and In the small towns and haciendas where her nu merous family connections are the lead ing people of tho community, she ex tends a kindly and charitable benefi cence to them and to all who serve them in any capacity. When these women come of old Spanish stock they are extremely exclusive end ancient rules of etiquette guide their social re lationships. Their daughters go to the convent schools, receive a limited edu cation and return home to continue tho same regime as has held sway since the day when their forbears left Spain. APPEARED AT FUNERAL FEAST Neighbors Got Something of a Shock When Man Thought to Be Dead -. Walked In on Them. It is said that some of the subter ranean rivers that gush out of caverns and pour' Into the IUver Plncga, in Eastern Russia, flow fifty or sixty miles beneath the accumulated half-de cayed leaf mold of a thousand years. At a pluce called Soila they tell in this relation a strange story. It n nneti ra that a mujlk, while cut ting timber In the wood, had been swal lowed up In tho tundra, as the denso mass of vegetation 13 called. A party was cutting virgin forest, when sud denly this man slipped, cried out, and sank from eight before the eyes of his comrades. It hnppened eo quickly that thero was not time to save him. AH gave him up for dead. Prayers for his soul were offered In church. Cut he was not dead, after all. What was the sur prise of tho villagers when he turned up at his own funeral feast 1 i lie had fallen through a hole in the bog into the ted of tho underground river, Jnnd had made his way In the darkness along its course until he had come to an opening and clambered out. Necessary Secrecy. "I witnessed a queer episode this afternoon," said the city cousin wh was visiting in Woyoverbehlnd. "As I was Btrolllng past an alley I heard, emanating from the open door of a barn, such peculiar sounds that I was moved to Investigate. Peering In, I discovered a portly man standing on a box, sawing tho air with elaborate gestures and at the same time shout-, lng defiantly and whispering hisslngly.. And the strangest part was that he. was not saying an intelligible word,; but was uttering meaningless babble,' like 'Ilobbensy-gobbensy, shlng, shang,' tandlgo pool' and so on." I "Oh, that's Hon. Heck trooper,, replied the village cousin, wand that jlbberlsh Is a sort of A cipher. You h lit runnlns for the legislature 'and is practicing up a new speech wnicn ne eipci'is w no u buvuuiu&ci. And he's afraid his opponents will steal his well-chosen words before he gets his oration down pat--Kansaa City Star. : j 'MR. TURKEY" GOT REPRIEVE American Woman's Respect for Age Led Her to Forego the Prospective Thanksgiving Feast. Miss n--, the matron of a girls mission school on the Island of Kulsle, one of the' Carolines, relates this story : She - had often told her- Island charges about the customs of her own native land, and was highly pleased upon receiving in Invitation to a Thanksgiving dinner, to be held on a neighboring Island and given by one of her graduates, who had proudly specified that roast turkey would tie on the bill of fare. Miss II was delighted, and told her pupils so. Whereupon one of them arose And said : "It gives tne great pleasure to think of your ' coming Joy, Miss II, though it gives me pain, atao, to fhfnfc. of .losing Mr. Turkey from our midst. ' I hflTe been accustomed to seeing that turkey on our Island for many years, he being the only resident turkey we have there. But If In his ripe old age he la to be eaten, I'm sure. Miss II 1, Mr. Turkey would rather be eaten by yon than by any other person." Convinced that Ms death would bo an undesirable sacrifice, Miss It sent her hostess word that she pre ferred seeing Mr. Turkey to eating him. Why Constipation Injure. The bowels are the natural sewerage system of the body. When they be come obstructed by constipation a parv of the poisonous matter which the; should carry off is absorbed into th. system, making , you feel dull i ai stupid, and interfering with 'the di gestion and assimilation of food.
