WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE
Unless it has something to do with
airplanes or motor ears or with the
more vigorous and spectacular games
like tennis or baseball, it is not like
ly that the announcement of a com
ing national tournament will get
much attention from us. And -when
we learn that the tom-ament in ques
tion is to decide the national cham
pionship in horseshoe pitching wTe
are inclined to yield it even less than
passing notice.
In an age when we demand for
diversion nothing short of headspins
on the wings of a rushing airplane;
when a game of auto polo is an ordi
nary occurrence only occasionally
thrilling us, and when a ball player
has to be a consistent home run hit
ter, we are not likely to wax en
thusiastic over horseshoe pitching.
And yet, this ancient pastime is
not without its merits. More keenly
than ever should it today challenge
our attention, for it goes back to a
time w-hen life was simpler. It car
ries us to remote counrtysides and
lanes at a time when the noise of
the world was barely making itself
heard even in the great cities. Quiet
days those! when men got
their exercise at their work, and did
not find it necessary, as men do now,
to work at their play.
The game of horseshoes satisfied
to the full the simple desires of a
simple life. It did not take years of
most exacting toil to perfect one’s
self in it; one improved with prac
tice, of course; one may become ex
ceedingly skillful at it, but the nerve
racking apprenticeship required for
perfection in a game like tennis, for
instance, is not needed to enjoy pitch
ing horseshoes.
It recommends itself to the novice
and to the master; too old and too
young. It stimuates an easy-going
interest; its leisurely pace permits
of conversation running into amiable
channels of every sort. It is associ
ated not with thronging multitudes
jeering and opposing player or luck
less umpire, but with individuals en
gaged in talk the while the happy
hours go by.
As such the game of horseshoes is
a restatement of a view of life and
manner of living now rapidly going
from among us. We are glad that
a national tournament is coming off
this month. It will be in some way
an assurance that the good old times
may be brought back occasionally.
A cash register may benefit the
business, but it makes it much hard
er for a poor struggling clerk to get
ahead.
You can’t eat your cake and have
it too, but if you don’t eat it the
cake gets stale.
The knock in the motor is heard
more distinctly when it is idling
This is also true of mortals.
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
tt TODAY’S WEATHER CHAT tt
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
A simple test will determine wheth
er or not it is raining today.
Upon arising stick your head out of
your bedroom window, and if you
feel moistuure collect upon your cra
nium you will know that the wreather
has undergone no change.
If the raindrops look like this—
you may safely venture out without a
raincoat, but if they are of this size
you should telephone for a taxi or a
boat.
The latter size are a hot house pro
duce found only in coast towns of
Alaska, and are apt to become vicious
if allowed to run loose about the
house.
