posed to fly down to
town every morning In a hydroplane
from his place up the Hudson. They
were fairly shocked at the thought of
a millionaire taking such risks with
hi» precious life. It seemed almost
sacrilegious to them for anybody with
that much money to even take a clianco
at getting killed.
"Gee!" exclaimed one of the youths.
"If I was as rich as he Is I'd be so
afraid of getting hurt I would go about
In a goat cart surrounded by a steal
cage. You wouldn't catch me doing
any death-defying leap in a hydroplane,
or aeroplane, or even an automobile."
"Ton are right," agreed the other
young man. "If 1 had as much to live
for as he has I wouldn't even cross
a street for fear of being run over by
a perambulator until they had stopped
traffic both ways."
Thereupon the two young men, feel
ing that there wasn't any particular
purpose in exercising nny especial pre
caution In preserving the lives of thir
ty-dollar-a-week clerks, proceeded to
divert themselves by riding motorcycles
and engaging in other dangerous
amusements In which they found the
keenest enjoyment.

SATURDAY EVENING,
|of living. For the mere fact that we
are poor enough and Inconspicuous
enough to do as we please without its
making a particle of difference to the
balance of the world, or calling for
a headline in a newspaper, means lib
erty, which is the very foundation
stone of happiness, and that is a lux
ury that the poor rich man never
knows.
We are continually culled upon to
weep over the pathetic fate of poor
children whose home Is the street and
whose playground the gutter. We
might ns well shed other tears over
the sad lot of the multi-millionaire
baby whose cradle is guarded by armed
detectives, whose food is regulated by
a high-priced doctor, whoso toys are
sterilized, who has only a bowing ac
quaintance with its parents, and who
never knows what it is to have one
single hour of natural, untrammeled
freedom.
Poor children arc happier than rich
children, and they have a better
chance In life, for it is the curse of
wealth that It kills ambition and numbs
effort. Someone said to a very rich
self-made man once that he had given
ills son every advantage of education.
"Yes," replied the wise old man sadly,
"every advantage but the greatest ad
vantage of all—poverty. I couldn't
give my son the clianco in life I had
myself."
Certainly, however, the vast majority
of people believe that wealth brings
happiness and that a young man as
rich as Vincent Astor, say, gets more
real fun out of living that does the
youth In moderate circumstances —the
young man who, by his own efforts, is
making a comfortable Income.
How do they figure this out?
Not In physical comfort. No matter
how rich a man may be he cannot eat
more than one good dinner at a time,
and that has to be of plain food habitu
ally. or else he acquires dyspepsia,
which Is 110 respecter of pocketbooks.
He cannot sleep in but one bed. He
cannot wear but one suit of clothes at
a time.

I Miss Jessie Wenrich Is
Bride of Frank Witmer
Special to The Telegraph
Penbrook, Pa., Feb. 21. —Miss Jessie
Wenrich, of Main street, and Frank
| Witmer, of Twenty-flrst and State
; streets, were married at Canton, Pa.,
j yesterday by the Rev. George Wen
| rich, pasto" of the United Brethren
| Church of that town.
I The couple left Harrisburg yester
! da> morning after Miss Wenrich had
quietly left this town to avoid the
old-fashioned reception which had
been planned for them by their
friends. She boarded a car, was joined
by the groom in Harrisburg and the
couple left on an early morning train.
Arriving at Canton, they were met by
any man of moderate means. After
you reach a certain not very exalted
point of wealth in these days of mod
ern conveniences the purchasing power
of money is nil in bringing: you physi
cal-comfort.
Work? That's not a misfortune, but
a blessing. Work is excitement, thrill,
never-dying game on earth, and the
man who gets up every morning with
the knowledge that there's going to be
H fresh deal of the cards, and that he's
got to pit his skill and diplomacy and
intelligence against the champions of
his community, has got something to
live* for. Besides, no other people on
earth work so ham and so drearily as
thoso whoso solo occupation is killing
time.
.. You it must be de
lightful to be kowtowed to because
your are rich? Perhaps so. Jf you
have been poor and made the money
yourself, because that means that von
have fought the fight and won out.
But there's nothing to be chesty about
—no thrill of gratified vanity in money
that you have inherited. It takes luck,
and not talent, to be born with a bank
book in your mouth.
Friendship? That's the choicest
pleasure in life, but it's reserved ex
clusively for the delight of the poor.
No rich man has any friends, because
experience of toadies and sycophants
lias taught him to be so suspicious of
everybody that he trusts nobody and
believes in the sincerity of no one.
Love Is a Paradise I'rom Which Cupid

Love? A paradise before which
Cupid stands with a golden sword anil

man may ever even hope to be loved
for himself alone. He is the prey of
the adventuress, of the avaricious, the
scheming woman who is willing to sell
her soul for money and position. How
little domestic happiness is found in
the homes of the very rich the divorce
court records prove.
The truth is that money doesn't buy
happiness, and the man with a moder
ate income can get far' more pleasure
out of living than the millionaire can.

8160 Semi-Princesse Dress for Misses
and Small Women, 16 and 18 years.
WITH ONE-PIECE SKIRT TO BE MADE
WITH OR WITHOUT CUFF, WITH LONG
OR ELBOW SLEEVES.
The cuff skirt or the one that is trimmed
with a turned up portion is new and smart
and _ has practical advantages. The
doubling of the material means strength
and, if the cuff becomes slightly worn,
it can be removed to leave the under
portion fresh. Altogether, this costume
is an interesting one. The drapery over
the hips gives tne peg top effect so much
in demand and the surplice blouse is
trimmed to suggest the raglan idea.
As shown here, the frock is made of silk
and wool crepe with a chemisette of net
and trimming of banding, but almost
every seasonable material that will drape
prettily can be used. Poplin is to be a
favorite of the coming season, however,
and will make up attractively in this way.
The new taffetas are wonderfully supple
. and beautiful and, for the trimming and
chemisette, whatever harmonizes with
the special material can be used.

POULTRYsneWS
POULTRY MEETING
HERE ON Mm 11
By-laws Will Likely Be Adopted
and Permanent Organization
Effected
The committee of the Pennsylvania
State Poultry Society, appointed by
President Weimer at the Harrisburg
meeting: January 20, to draft by-laws,
lins completed its work and Secretary
J. D. Koons, Treiclilers, Pa., ha.s is
sued r call for another meeting of the
society at Harrisburg, March 11, for
the, purpose of adopting the by-laws
and effecting a permanent organiza
tion. This meeting will be held in
the parlors of the Bolton House at 1
o'clock in tho afternoon.
At the January meeting it was sug
gested that membership in the State
Society be limited to persons con
nected with a local poultry organiza
tion but it has been found that to so
llimt membership would be unwise.
These are the objects of the society:
(1) To affiliate in a State society
all poultrymen and poultry organiza
tions within the State for the purpose
of fostering the poultry industry in all
Its branches: (2) To aid in establish
ing in each county or in districts of
each county, organizations devoted to
poultry interests: (3) to secure the
co-operation of its members in the
production and distribution of poul
try products: (4) to secure conces
sions whereby feed, supplies, etc., may
be purchased by members at whole
sale or reduced prices: (5) to encour
age and assist its members in breed
ing poultry of standard requirements,
and for heavy egg production; (6) to
use its Influence with subordinate so-
Icieties to prevent the holding of shows
on conflicting dates; (7) to suggest
and promote legislation that will tend
toward greater and more economic
production of poultry and eggs in
Pennsylvania, and prevent the enor
mous losses due to Improper handling
in the marketing of same.
It is understood to be the purpose
of the society to offer trophies for the
best specimens of the different varie
ties exhibited by members of the so
ciety at shows held by an association
accepting the provisions of the State
Society, and to induce local associa
tions to co-operate with each other es
pecially in the matter of interchang
ing exhibits.
Fritchey's Hens Are
Second in Contest
"Two thousand a week" is the slo
gan in the international egg-laying
contest at Storrs, Conn. The mercury
at the competition plant registered
sixteen degrees below zero, but in
spite of this very low temperature
the hens yielded better than last week
by 397 eggs or a total of 2,066 for the
fifteenth week. The cold weather per
sisted throughout the week, the winds
blew, snowstorms came, and even
earthquakes, but in spite of this ad
verse combination the hens seemed to
be snug and comfortable in their lit
tle houses and in consequence shelled
out. eggs regardless of the elements.
The English Wyandottes easily won
first place for the week with a pro
duction of forty-nine eugs, but there
was close competition for second
place. A pen of Khode Island Reds
owned by Dr. J. A. Fritchey, of this
city, finally finished second with a
yield of forty eggs.
BJST HENS ON GROUND
The best results in natural hatch
ing will be obtained when the hens
are set on the ground. Repeated ex
periments have demonstrated that
where hens were set in this way
stronger, bigger chicks were hatched
than from those set in nests off tho
ground. If it is. not convenient to
build outdoor nesting coops, or there
is no shed available with a dirt floor,
and the hens have to be set in nests
with wooden bottoms, cut a square of
fresh sod and lay it in the bottom of
tho nest box just before the eggs aro
put In. Theil put 011 top just sufficient
straw to hold tho eggs in the center.
The hens should bo allowed to sit on
china eggs for a few days before giv
ing them good eggs.

IF HENS DON'T LAY
IN SPRING, WELL!
.Chances Are They Never Will, Says
Expert, Writing For The
Telegraph
If wc set eggs from the general
flock in the Spring, choosing the oggs
from their appearance alone the
Chances arc that the greater part of
them will be laid by hens that have
Just begun laying, having loafed all
winter. Eggs from such hens are
usually extra large and fair looking,
being tho first of that individual's pro
duction.
Any unprofitable hen will lay at
that time of the year if she ever lays.
The question is whether we wish to
fix In our flock tho habit of winter
looting, or winter laying. If the lat
ter, then wo must set eggs from the
winter layers. As to the vitality, the
very fact of their laying in winter is a
sign of exceptional vigor and vitality.
Trap-nesting is impractical for the
average poultryman because of its la
bor cost, which has been estimated
at about 60 cents a hen a year. But
there are simple ways of locating the
real profit-making individuals. If
practiced for three or more years
these will greatly increase the egg
production of any flock. In the aver
age flock about one-third of the hens
are drones, loafers, or robbers, that
do not pay for their feed; another
third about break even with their
feed bill, while the other third is a
source of profit to their owners. It is
the last only that we should breed
from. Such hens may be recognized
by an observing caretaker who feeds
the flock every day.

LESSON XII— PART I.
Exercises for Physical Culture
The most convenient time for doing ejt»
erclses is In the morning before dressing
or Just before retiring. This does away
with the necessity of disrobing during the
day, for It is obvious that the best re
sults cannot be obtained while wearing
corsets or any form of heavy clothing.
The exercises I am giving first are for
all women, whether stout or undeveloped.
They limber the body, bring into play un
used muscles, Increase breathing capacity,
tone up the nerves and improve the gen
eral health of the body. They will als«
give grace and elasticity of movement.
This latter point Is particularly Impor
tant just now when the new styles In
gowning call forth a corresponding
change In movement, walk and attitude.
Remember that It is only the woman
whose body is in correct poise that can
stoop gracefully and that attitudinising,
graceful and attractive when the mus
cle;. are In perfect training, becomes stiff
and awkward when the body is not re
sponsive.

These exercises can be done in ten min
utes, night and morning. They will tire
