have concluded that they are nimble
enough to dance all around slow riding
justice. Oldfashioned honesty is for
the stupid commonality-not for them,
the favorites of genius. Personal pur-
ity, large honor beyond the commercial
requirements, justice deeper than the
statute they regard as old fogy notions
The road to wealth and fame by the old
route is too long; they are adroit
enough to "cut across lots" and wise
enough to cover up their trail.
1t may sound like old-fashioned
preachment to remind these complacent
foxes that the bloodhounds of Nemesis
can track even them. There is a word
in an old book that sounds to the re-
spectacle, to the elegant and to the sue
cessful as well as to the lout: "Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for what
soever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap"
. There is growing tendency to shade
down the evil of defrauding a govern
ment or a corporation and of swindling
the public by means of governmental
or corporate agencies. The presence of
these artificial units has done much to
confuse the moral sense. It is for this
reason that men need to be reminded,
insistently, that no devices of compli-
Gated human machinery have ever
changed in the least degree the sure
operation of those laws of reward and
retribution that are inwrought by the
Creator of the race. The high-minded
youth who would keep his self-respect
needs to remember particularly that we
are not to abstain from wrong because
1t may possibly injure ourselves or
others eventually, but we are to abhor
the unclean and questionable deed be-
cause it Is absolutely certain to blur,
to vitiate, and, If persistently repeated,
to destroy the moral vision.-Frank
Crane.
How Care Cheats the Undertaken.
The Oldest doctor in England died in
the present year. If he had lived
few days longer he would have reached
hundred years. The most interesting
thing about his career was not any
special work that he did, but the fact
that he never practiced his profession
because of his delicate health. He was
one of the many men who expected
from early youth to die soon, but
through care outlived every early as
sociate. We see the same experience
constantly. The thin, sickly looking,
apprehensive person, whom no insur-
ance company would accept on appear
ances, at any price, c.ings on year after
year and becomes veteran, while the
rosy citizen who can eat all day and
drink all night and who has no fear of
consequences drops off suddenly, and
many in the large attendance at the
grave express wonder that such
healthy man should die while others
SO plainly marked for the cemetery are
present at his funeral.
Nothing could better show the value
of care in the business of living. We
seem to know practically everything
about disease nowadays, but as Benja-
min Franklin remarked, Want of care
does us more damage than want of
the years by taking care of himself,
while the healthy person has an early
funeral because he laughed at food and
fate. If the doctor who lived to be near
fession because he was too delicate, the
average patient on whom the doctors do
practice ought to pause a while and
think. This is undoubtedly an age in
which the human body is disorganized
and weakened by too many medicines
1t is period of overeating, and lot of
judicious starvation would probably be
about the best thing that could happen
for the race.
With all the accumulated wisdom of
the centuries few men have come to
really appreciate the fact that pure air
and plenty of it are more important
course, he need not slight his food, and
if he is sensible he will get the best
that his purse can buy. Be careful, be
cheerful and be comfortable
Joy, temperance and repose,
