The Drift to ThCltlra. ; The drift of population to the cities is . no new thing,. nor is peculiar to 'the United States But it is likely that the census of 1900 will that it has grown great ly hi strength during the last de cade. In fact, without cities and towns,, the 'United States would be today one of the most sparsely populated conntries in tbe oi viliz ed world. Nor does this tenden oy result only in adding to tbe population of cities and towns already in existence, though il it did only that it would be worthy of careful study by tbe sociologist But when a virgin territory is opened to settlement, as in the case of Oklahoma a few years ago towns begin to spring up as if by magic. If we ask for some rational ex planation of this gregarious ten dency we are furnished witb many plausible explanations, none of whiOh, however, are quite convincing. Men drift to tbe cities, are are told, because of a sense of brotherhood. They want to look into the faces and touch the hands of others who, like themselves, are helping to propel tbe car of progress. A very pretty and poetical theory, doubt less, but only a theory. Of course the sense of brotherhood. bas grown greatly during the present century, but the fieree competl tton of life in the city tends rather to subordinate than to empha size it. Certain it is that nine out of ten young men who leave the farm tolnake their way in the city are not consciously animated by aty feeling of brotherhood They go to achieve fortune or fame, to escape the drudgery of manual . labor, or to enjoy what they suppose to be the more lux urious life of the town. , : It comes then to this that people drift to the city today be cause, theyf prefer its life, its prizes, its ambitions, Its pleasures and fierce competitions to the life pfj be qountry. .Whether. or not tneir preference is a wise one Tittne race that is not easy to answer. That in great aggregations 01 popula tion there are many advantages need ht rdiy to be stated. There is a stimulus to the imagination in the massing together of human beings, all animated by a few primary passions, and in tbe architectuah monuments of the present and the past. Moreover certain kinds of material achieve ments most essential tocivil'za tion are only possible in a great city. New York Tribune. ' if f C'' a . NUMBR 83 One Secret ot Happiness. There is a certain old lady who lives in a little old house, witb very little in it to make her com fortable. She is rather deaf and she cannot see very well, either. Her bands and feet are all ont of shape and full of pain because of her rheumatism. But in spite of all this, you will find her full of sunshine and as cherry as a robin in jape, and it does one good to see her. I found out one day ht keeps her so cheerful.
