of their money a
generation or two ago. I supposed
that we. all knew that buckeyes car
ried In the pocket neither prevent nor

ning rod may be a menace to safety
rather than a protection If not prop
erly adjusted. But I am mistaken ; the : i
lightning rod, and Nancy tells me also
the corset. Is coming back again.
All through the farming district, as j
we drove down toward Metropolis, we (
could see the work of the lightning
rod dispenser. Every house, every i
barn, every outbuilding, from wood
shed to chicken roost, was bristling j
with lightning rods. Fourteen 1 !
counted on one., farmstead. '
I could guess bow It all happened. !
Some silver-tongued orator, trained !
In salesmanship at college, had
dropped In on the Browns and bad j'
sold them the proposition. Safety,
protection, freedom from sudden death
were an to be gained' by the simple
Investment in lightning rods the
more the better. They fell, and, being
the most prominent people in the
neighborhood, were followed suit by
the neighbors as meekly as sheep fol
lowing each' other over the pasture
fence.
If It tsnt lightning rods it is some
thing else quite as foolish that we
all adopt. Two yean ago ail the big
boys in college had coonskln coats. I
knew a' boy who waited table and
fired furnaces in order to get himself
one and so be In style. Last year
the coonskin coat was quite passe.
All the real beau brommels bad earn
ers ball'. One just wasn't In it with
out a camel's hair coat Next year
tt will be something else and the cam
el's bair coats will be thrown Into
tne discard.
It was the same way with .garters.
Some one started tbe fashion of dis
carding garters and letting his socks
hang in a discouraged way over his
ankles and immediately every young
fellow threw away bis garters.
We dont think so much for our
selves; we follow tbe fashion; we do
as our neighbors da If Mrs. Brown
has long skirts or bobs her hair or
goes in for antique furniture, then all
tbe neighbors follow in quick order.
If Brown puts a lightning rod on the
hen bouse, immediately all the chick
en bouses in the township are fur
nished with lightning rods.
The story is told that In the late
war a German private soldier was
apprehended upon French territory
and brought in to tbe American com
mander of the post.
"See - here," the American said.
Ton have no business here. What's
going to happen to you is that you're
going to be backed op against the
fence and shot"
"Veil," the German salo, ready to
adopt lightning rods if that was the
style. "VateiTer Iss de rule." '
Another case of lightning rods.
