‘The LaSt Train
The last. train either up or
down the line is a dismal aflair.
The smoking car. even to a
smoker, is a nightmare. The
stale stein-Ii of smoke from innu—
merable. cigarettes and cigars
consumed during the day hangs
heavily to seats, corridor and
windows.
The coach with its assortment
oi" tired and frowsy souls is not
inspiring. “hat a choice subject
for a pessimist! One must ad-
mit that. wide-awake, journeying
in the last train. the feeling is
“What's the use?"
The language of the men in the
smoker is not choice. aEven a
hardened sinner is made to flinch.
“Are people Worth the effort ex-
pended in any one of a score of
directions to lwtter conditions or
improve the lot of maul” One
wonders. ls life worth that
recious fear and fright and the
list hitter drop of energy it
calls for?
Are we not all a sodden erew‘l
LA hopeless and hapless lot‘l Cast
suddenly into the meaningless
whirlpool of life and as suddenly
drawn deep into the black and
messy whirl of water and snufied

‘ It is all in the point of view, the
outlook. The last train is not the
best of places in which to form
a judgment. The observer, as
well as those observed, is tired,
enervatcd, his strength at lowest
ebb.
Pessimism is a special attribute
“of malcontents and boys at col-
lege. --w-- I
The world may not be all rosy
e—hut it is such a good place in
which to live.
As a balance to the last train,
think of a lazy afternoon’s fish-
ing, with the trout or bass
snapping to the bait in just the
right manner. Or think of a good
old-fashioned tramp in the happy
springtime. Here in Connecticut
with miles of smiling country to
hmlile through on a Saturday or
a Sunday, life cannot be all amiss.
Or if things look particularly
gloom, why wait until the Satur-
day or Sunday, just steal away
for a few hours, it is worth cost.
Ramble through the woods or
along the water. Pick up a stick,
whittlo the end, whistle a tune.
It is the best tonic any doctor
could prescribe. The best advice
any editor could give.
Lit is not the best road, 'or the
worst road, it happens to be the
only road We know, and as good
sports we must accept it with its
give and take, its good and bad,
its first train and its last train.
Things are a lot better than
they were. And they have got to
be a lot better. There is heaps .
of work for everybody to -do.
There are miles of progress to be
achieved. And still innumerable

A young man we know of was go.
ing with a girl who lived out of
town. He and she wrote to each oth~
er lth remarkable frequency—re-
mar able on his part at least when
it was considered that he hated to
write. There was considerable tall:
about marriage. nothing definite.
y'know, but a sort of an understand-
ing somewhere in the air that there
might be a marriage some time. some
place. and somehow.
I O O
AbOut two weeks ago she stopped
writing. "Strange." thought the
young man ,and so after waiting he
wrote her a note and yet received no
ans'wer.
O O 0
Then this young teller. full of ego.
wrote another letter in which he in-
formed the young woman that he
didn‘t feel that he could hold her to
any tentative engagement. and that if
she loved someone else. why just let
him know and that he would play the
part of the forgiving lover and would
say "Bless you. my children."

this mornlng he received an answer.

It told him that she didn't intend
to marry until she met a man she
could love. Then she informed him
that he was very much mistaken if
he thought that she Would condes-
iliat she was somewhat particular as
to who talked about the subject of
marriage to her. Outside of that she
liked him. and would like-to have
lzim for a friend. but that she didn't
particularly care whether he wrote
again or not.

“'ell. this letter was an awful blow
to the young teller and he came into
the lunch room and cried into our
coffee and carried on at a great rate.
However. with the lnefflblo spirit of
and he is now seriously considering
sending her a. phonograph record
of "I Gave You Up. Just Before You
letter in which he would tell her that
despite the fact. that she must feel
disappointed at not being able to
marry him. she should not try to vent
her spite by writing a letter like
that, that was no obviously untrue.
O 0 O
In these days of "pup love" it is
something to be wondered at that
any such sort of a young fool is able
to remain alive. A few more Joits
may jar him out of his haven of self-
eomplacence and rouse him to the
knowledge that. he is making a. spec-
tacle of himselt for the edillcation of
the assembled spectators.

If we can do our bit towards ac-
complishing that end by this semi-
public display of his faults. we shall
feel satisfied. and we beg the indul-
gence or our readers for departing
from our usual line.

It's not often we feel called uponl
to publicly chlde anyone and it is not
our intention to continue to do so.
We felt that we may have done our
good turn for the day. bv writing the
above. and if it helps surely the
reader will also (eel that he or she
has helped in accomplishing some-
thing that was for the benefit of the
young man.

Still. baclt of it all. isn't there a
wonderful background of humor in
the whole thing? The smug air of
wounded pride with which the young
man is about to inform the young
woman that he regrets ’to hurt her
feelings but it is all over between
