Is simply terrible. See how the Jap anese and Russians are sending each other into eternity. We. thousands of miles away from them, cannot realize the sadness and distress the present war is causing. But if we were to see our nearest and dearest friends shoul- der gun and start off to inform the enemy they must do as we say, then we would know what wear means. Sometimes we have a different kind of war right in our own city. For 1n- stance when the "cops' declare war on the man who sells intoxicating drinks on Sunday, see what pain, ols- tress and expense they can put nm to lf they catch you drinking or selling the stuff that shrouldn't be sold or drank Sunday, Monday or any other day.

The Last Days of August.

H~orse-mint is blooming nova dull pink and
yellow flower, with road dust on it's leaves. Most
delicate is its perfume and suggestive of autumn
and it's mellow fruitfulness. 1t loves to grow
in old lanes and pastures among the haunts of
men and herds. Also, on every hillside the golden
rod is h eralding the fall O the leaf, The swamps
are shot with the brilliant yellow of poplar and
deep red gum leaves. Here and there a troop of
black-eyed-susans nod like firts to the breeze.
But these few scouts do not argue that Queen
Summer has laid down her sceptre. The bee still
swings on her clover BLOSSOM; oxeyes yet sprinkle
her grassy places with white; her maypops, or
passion flowers, show combined the bloom and the
fruit; and her migrant singers, who will brook
no other rule than hers, are there.
August, therefore, is the month of transition.
The pirate Saloons of autumn have begun stealth
lily to scatter themselves along the coast of sum-
mer, and will soon usurp her reign. Full of de-
licious hints of fall and harvest a August is,
she yet eliminates the heats of the year and con-
tinues to hold out to sweltering humanity the sum
mer's invitation to cool woods and seashore,
mountain and stream. These slumbrous, sultry
Moons, witt a hot pavement under him and a sky,
of brass above, what dweller in the town would
not. dearly like to be-
"Where tides of grass break into foam of flowers,
Or where the winds feet shine along the sea ?'

Self Pity is Deadly.

Self-pity is the mark of deteriorating character.
1t is a sure sign of the dominance of egotism and
of the decay of moral vitality. So long as you
retain a sense of proportion, so long as your
mind is healthy and your judgment sound, you
will never sink into the mental slough of those
who are self-pitying. You have a buoyancy, a
good-humor and a generosity of spirit which ena-
bic you to give and take without any residuum of
malice, and to recognize the rights and wrongs
OF others as clearly AS you recognize your own.
If things go amiss, and keep on getting worse and
worse, you rouse yourself up to face the %inevita-
Bile with courage and a stout heart. Meet misfor-
tune in the spirit of the fighter, of the knight
who Is not only brave but debonair, and even if III
the end you are beaten, you keep your self-respect
and the respect of others. You are like a general
who yields to overwhelming numbers, and then
draws off his forces in good order, defeated but
not demoralized, and ready at some future time
to fight again. Even if i'll success should make
you stern and harsh and unforgiving, this is not
a hopeless state of mind, for it is at least com
patible with strength; and if prosperity return
once more, then the old hopefulness and the old
genlallty will reassert themselves, just as the buds
and blossoms force their way into the world when
the warm spring sunshine puts an, end to winter.
But If you let yourself sink into the Hateful
habit of ~self-pity, then there is absolutely no re-
turn for you, no restoration, no renewal of sanity;
you slide down and down the slope, losing bit by
bit your moral fiber, your intellectual courage and
your self-respect-Twentieth Century Home.

Taking Him at His Word.

Joseph Jefferson in his biography relates what
was probably the last jest of Artemus Ward.
When the famous wit lay dying at Southampton,
he was attended by his devoted friend, Tom Rob
ertson, the author of "Caste," who was also a
friend of Jefferson.
"Just before Wards death" writes Mr.. Jeffer-
son, Robertson poured out some medicine in a
glass, and offered it to his friend.
Ward said, MY dear Tom, I can't take that
dreadful stuff
"'Come, Gomez said Robertson, urging him to
swallow the nauseous drug, there's a good fellow.
Do, now, for my sake. You know I would do
anything for YOU
"sWould you?' said Ward, feebly, as he
stretched out his hand to grasp his friends, per-
haps for the last time.
CT would indeed,' said Robertson.
""Then you take it" said Ward.

Goods Not Delivered.

Once upon a time, when Francis Wilson didn't
have as comfortable living quarters as he now has.
he went room-hunting where rates were reason
able. In one place which he inspected, he found
a red-headed landlady who was extremely persist
ent, although the room she had to offer was about
the last one Wilson would have chosen to live in.
He didn't want to say so, however, and was de-
parting without stating definitely what he would
do, Notwithstanding the fact that the eager land
lady did not want him to escape in that man
ner.
'Will you take the room 2" she asked, pinning
him down to a positive answer.
"Um-er," hesitated Wilson, crawfshing toward
the door. ''Thank you very much, madam, thank
you, no, I won't take it now; can't you perhaps
send it to me ?"-Collier's Weekly.

THE HOME CIRCLE


Grandmother mother; her age, / guess,
Thirteen summers, or something less;
Girlish bust, but womanly air;
Smooth, square forehead with uprolled hair.
Lips that lover has never kissed;
Taper fingers and slender wrist;
Hanging sleeves of stiff brocade;
So they painted the little maid.
O., Damsel Dorothy! Dorothy O.!
Strange is the gift that / owe to you;
Such a gift as never a king
Save to a daughter or son might bring
All my tenure of heart and hand,
All my title to house and land;
Mother and sister and child and wife
And 10Y and sorrow and death and life!
What if a hundred years ago
Those close-shut lips had answered No,
When forth the tremulous question came
That cost the maiden her Norman name,
And under the folds that look so still
The bodice swelled with the bosom's thrill?
Should I be I, or would it be
One-tenth another, to nlne-tenths me!
Soft is the breath of a maiden's Yes;
Not the light gossamer stirs with less;
But never a cable that holds so fast
Through all the battles of wave and blast,
And never an echo of speech or song
That lives in the babbling air so long!
There were tones in the voice that whispered the1
You may hear to-day in a hundred men.

When Beauty Fades.

Hamilton w. Mable always is interesting and
in his literary talk to girls he is especially so.
The following sensible suggestions from Mr..
Mabie's page in the Ladies' Home journal will be
appreciated by Home Circle readers:
"Wbat shall [ readY' is a much more i'm
portant question that EWhat shall I wear?" but
it is to be feared that many girls think other
wise. 1t is just as much ones duty to be attrac-
tive as to be good, and dress and manners are
of much greater Importance than some people
suppose.
We have not only to live in this world, but we
have also to live with others. Half the pleasure
of living comes from our relations with others;
from the variety, interest, charm which they
bring us. 1t is one of our best pieces of good
fortune to live in a community in which the peo-
pie are intelligent, well-dressed, courteous and
interesting, and it is every ones duty to help
make such a community by being intelligent.
well dressed, courteous and interesting. The
man who thinks he is showing superior strength
of character by being churlish simply reveals
his ignorance.
Beauty often goes early in life, and there are
few more pathetic figures than the women who
have lost it and have nothing to put in its place.
The wise girl lays up a store of attractions
against the time when those with which she
started may be lost, and there is no better way
of making ones self an agreeable companion
for others and for ones self than by con-
slant reading of good books. One of the finest
compliments ever paid a woman was the remark
of an eminent man concerning a wel-known wo-
man of his time, that to know her was a liberal
education. No woman can have the quality of
mind which makes association with her not only
but stimulating and educational, un-
less she is we'll read; and the well-read woman
must read constantly and with intelligence.

MI. Dooley on the Political Prospects.

IT see," said Mr.. Hennessy, shat the dimmy-
Gratis have great confidence"
"They have" said Mr.. Dooley. 9Th dimmy-
Gratis have great confidence, tn republicans
ar-re sure, tn ~popylists are hopeful, tn prohybi-
~tionists look FIR a landslide or a food or WHATEVER
you may call a prohibition victhry, an tn socyl-
lists think this may be their year. That's what
makes ~pollytics tn great game an tn on'y wan
to dhrive dull care away. It's a game iv hope, iy
iolly-ye'er-neighbor, a confidence game. If ye
get a bad hand at poker, We lay it down. But if
We get a band hand at ~pollytics, we bet ye'er pair
iv deuces as blithe as an Englishman who has
just larned the game out iv tn spoortin' columns
iv tn London Times. If We don't win fair, ye
may win foul. If We don't win, ye may tie an
get tn money in tn confusion. If it wasn't such
a game, wud there be dimmycrats in Vermont,
Republicans in Texas, an prohybitionists in tn
stock yards ward? Ivry year men crawl out iv tn
hospitals where they've been since last Fiction
day to vote tn Republican ticket in Mississippi.
There's no record iv it but it's a fact. To-day th'
dimmycrats will on'y concede Vermont, Maine an
Pinnsylvanya to tn republicans, an the raypub-
licans concede Texas, Allybammy an Missippi to
tn dimmycrats. But it's arley yet. Wait awhile.
TIL wurruk iv tn campaign has not begun. Both
sides is inclined to be p~essimistic. Th' consarva-
tive business man, who thinks that if a. little
money cud be placed in Yazoo City, tn prejudice
against Rosenfelt, which is on'y skin deep amy
how, cud be removed, hasn't turned up at head
quarthers. About tn middle iv October, the raw
publican who comedies Texas to tn dimmycrats
will be dhrummed out iv tn party as a thraitor
an yell hear that tn dimmycratic party in Maine
is so cheered be tn prospects that his frinds can't
keep him sober.
