nThe Harm of the Senses. y

The first Of series in the Star course
of lectures was given in the Eleventh
Avenue opera house last evening by
Prof. John b. DeMotte. The audience
was large and at the same time was de-
servedly interested in the subject which
the lecturer dwelt upon-'The Harp Of
the Senses, or the Secret OF Character
Building" The speaker had wide
range on such a subject and struck the
harp In such manner that its chords
reverberations could not but in some
manner strike echoing chords among
the audience. Prof. Denote is not
only graceful speaker, but teller of
truth as we'll, and intermingling with
the stories the pathetic and actual
scenes which are taken from real life
he weaved most truthful story on the
"Secret of Character Building" 1t is
one which should be needed and it no
doubt fell as seed on the minds Of many
OF those who were present.-Altoona

Easy 10 Tell Others What to Do.

1t is so much easier TO see what other
people ought to do and to give them ad-
wise than it is to always see our own
duty and act accordingly. This is the
case even with editors sometimes. We
know a newspaper that has had consid-
cradle to say about people cleaning the
snow and ice off their sidewalks and at
the same time the sidewalk in front of
that editors Office was covered with
ice, just the same as his neighbors, in
fact the ice is there yet unless the sun
