Slei a . AE. Kollauer, Assistant Treasurer Seertary J. A. Waldron, Editor. November 16, 1912 E D T O R The Horse. HORSE is still supreme in respects, despite forebod- ings as to his future. His great competitor, the automobile, has some advantages over the horse, yet the horse still maintains elements of superiority. The auto is all right for heavy draught, speed and joy rides; but if your liver is out of order and you can’t joy ride—perhaps a result of too much speeding—-the horse is the conveyance you need to set you right. And there are joy rides on horses, too. Note the ecstasy with which some young women who ride astride up through Central Park regard their instructors, to say nothing of the occasional elopement in like premises, Of course there are chauffeurs devoted to Cupid, but this is no argument for the automobile. The supreme test of the horse these days is the horse show. There are automobile shows and dog shows and poultry shows and innumerable affairs at the theaters that come under the head of ‘‘show.”’ But it takes the horse show to bring out metropolitan civilization in all its surprising riches and variations, Here the horse is the proud and prize-winning excuse for a thousand exhibitions of man- ners, of clothes, of beauty and of the THE some competitions in supremely fashion- able life that make existence delect- able or miserable, as the case may be. Good Humor. Joseph Marski, the last of Chi- cago’s centenarians, is dead, at the age of 110 years. He was of uni- formly cheerful disposition and often declared that his sense of humor kept him young. A sense of humor may not insure old age, but in the aged it is a bless- ing and a specific for a happy life, no matter to what point existence may be prolonged. And good humor, like sunlight, is far-reaching in effect. A smile radiates like warmth itself to temper coldness or ill nature in those who fall under its influence. With accompanying happy word or phrase, it banishes grouches and gives a brighter viewpoint. Good humor, in fact, is contagious and leavens the life about those whose good fortune it is to possess it. It is a joy to those who exercise it, and a benefaction to those who fall under its sway. . One may be thoughtful, industri- ous, and even nobly active without being solemn about it. In fact, one may be everything that high en- deavor means and leads to and be the better for a happy disposition. Charles H. Wright, No. 1622 SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year, or 52 numbers .

LS Electric Food. According to a Paris scientist, pills charged with electricity will satisfy the hunger of the coming man. Information as to the constit- uents of the pills does not come along with this statement. Neve theless, a guarded admission may be made that there is a possibility that the Paris scientist is right. If he is, the change in popular habits will be momentous. The dazzling lobster palace, with its snowy napery and rattling china and silverware, will vanish. Bouquets as they are known will cease. There will be no more restaurants on the present models, and cabarets will pass away. All one will have to do to get a meal will be to swallow a few electric pills. Pos- sibly the next step will be the intro- duction of pellets which will do away with the necessity of going to sleep. The world moves, A Brief Decisions. A woman's best dress is often taken by her women friends as the basis of her well-being. If some people had as much horse sense as the equines at the show, they would not be so ready to place themselves on exhibition. comicbooks.com
