A WOMAN's NOTION
OF Row to Muster out the "Grand
Army Of the misunderstood"

VH kEOW 20 MuSteF ont the "Ssr6nd
Army ofthe misunderstood"
Kate Field in Denver Tribune.
Strange, with SO many people in the world,
how few mean anything in ones lifel 1t is
not beauty, nor cleverneSS, nor style that at
tracts one human being to another. 1t is
that indescribable magnet called sympathy.
When the ancient augurs looked each other
IN the eye they smiled. When sympathy
looks sympathy in the eye the gates of heaven
open. In fact, my idea Of heaven is an as
sembly Of congenial spirits, where every soul
appreciates every other soul. The great
trouble in this world is that men and women
are put into the wrong frames. They are
out of harmony. Blamed for not being what
nature never intended them to be. they are
made miserable by criticism to which they
are subjected in consequence, and yet are
unable to break away from those abomina-
lions called circumstances.
Everybody should be born twins, by which
mean that everybody should come into the
world with an appreciator who should be ap-
preciated in return. 1t is almost unpleasant
to think about oneself and what one is good
for. 1t is delightful to be interested in some
one else, and to study and work for that per-
son. Every appreciator should go about
looking for his appreciate, telling creation
the treatment necessary for his development.
This state of humanity would entirely abolish
the Grand Army of the Misunderstood Ex-
hbltlons of blatant egotism would belong to
a barbarlc age. Conceit would find its level
and modest worth be raised to a proper pin
nacle, for be it remembered that appreciation
means just estimation. No one would dream
Of advertising himself, but would be bent
upon impresSing the universe with the great
ness or goodness of his appreciate. That
there could be no mistake visiting cards
might tell the story:

or course, the appreciator and the appre-
ciatee should be different sexes. 1 read about
Damon and Pythias and all that sort of
thing, but women were made for men and
men were made for women, and each sex
will sacrifice more for the other than for its
own. Getting thoroughly sound ideas of one
another and being sympathetic it would fol-
low as naturally as the multiplication table
that every pair of appreciators would become
lovers, but not until they had done all the
counting necessary to establish their reputa-
lions in the eyes of purblind public that
discovers nothing even when genius begs at
the door,
Such marriages would be better than Nor
ris' Earthly Paradise There would be no
quarreling, as there could beno misunderstand-
ing. Sympathy includes a profound l1nowl-
edge of the art of letting alone; hence there
could be no boring. The children of such
parents would be harmonies in black and
white They would be beautiful and clever
because their parents would be compliments;
consequently, human monstroSity and stupid
ity would disappear from off the face Of the
earth. Such fine types of humanity would
produce less posterity and better specimens,
which is what the world needs. The way
London and New York, for example, are
populated with beings below the average is
appalling. Beings below the average will
spread over the earth and die Of starvation if
the present Csmmeriau darkness continues.
Risnarizas Memories OF His Student
l-5fe.
Berlin Letter in London Times
When Prince Bisrnark arrived at Gottingen
on his way to Kissingen, he found awaiting
him on the platform e large crowd, including
the chief civil authorities and the Hanover
ian Corps or club of students. It was at
Gottingen that Bisnark himself first studied,
or rather was supposed TO study, ard it was
while member Of the Hanoverian corps
there that be fought about score of victor
ious duels. It was no wonder, then, at the
sight of lhe '@HanOve1ians, in oil their osten-
tatious waTfike attire, acted upon the prince
as the sound Of drum and trumpet does upon
an old disabled soldier.
According to Gottingen newspaper, af-
ter chatting for some time from the carriage
window with the BUrgermeister, who re-
minded the prince ti.lt be had presented him
with the freedom Of tic city some years ago,
the chancellor caught sight of the students,
and exclaimed: ''Ah, there is the old well
known cap which I, too, wore long ago"
On noticing one member of the corps with
an ugly slash on his face, he broke out: "Ah,
sirI a splendid quartz; but you cannot have

had not been in Gottingen for fifty years,
but he still knew and loved to see all the old
resorts rounsl about, including the Career
or University prison, an intimate acquaint-
