enter their home it is one of welcome.
Sometimes the motto has some partic-

WHAT SINCERITY IS.
The Consciousness and Analysis OF the
Motives Of All Life's Actions.

The Consciousness and Analysis of the
Motives Of All Life's Actions.
Love contains no complete and last
ing happiness in the transparent at
mosphere Of perfect sincerity. To the
point of this sincerity, love is but an
experiment; we live in expectation,
and our words and kisses are only
provisional. But sincerity is not pos
sible except between lofty anu trained
consciences. Moreover, it is not
enough that these conSciences should
be such; this is requisite besides, If
sincerity is to become natural and es-
sential-that the consciences shall be
almost equal, of the same extent, the
same quality. and that the love that
unites them shall be deep laid.
But it is impossible to be sincere
with others before learning to be sin
cere toward ones self. Sincerity is
only the consciousness and analysis OF
the motives of all life's actions. 1t
is the expression of this consciousness
that one is able later to lay before the
eyes of the being with whom he is
seeking the happiness of sincerity

ty and Love- in the Century.

An official telegram received in Mad

King Alfonso was leaving the eXhib::-
ton Thursday "petard" exploded

made.
King Alfonso arrived at Barcelona
Wednesday for a fortnight's visit to
Catalonia. He was accompanied by
Premier Maura and Minister Linares
and a numerous suite. The visit or
the king to Barcelona, the hot bed ct
republicanism, caused the greatest dis
quiet in Spanish official quarters, as
it was feared the republicans and So
cialists would vent on the king their
hatred of the premier, whose strong
measures dealing with the strike riot
ers had made him very unpopular AS
a preventive measure large numbers

gunboats and a large force of gen

The Spanish king was accorded a
respectful reception at Barcelona.
The streets were decorated with flags
and lined by enormous crowds of pep
pie.
1t was estimated that there We're
100000 persons in the streets, and the
pressure was so great that the cordons
of troops were repeatedly broken by
the people who were anxious to see
their monarch, and the king was thus
separated from his attendants.

Think sof Your Barber.

A man in Philadelphia who had
been proverbially fretful and insult

whose only excuse. was that he was
very nervous. was finally led to re-
lieve his uncomfortableness by count
ing the number Of strokes that it took
to shave him.
To his great surprise he found that
it took 459 strokes to shave him when
he was fairly calm, and more when
he was in a more nervous mood.
The barber informed him that he
had frequently shaved men so rest.

GOO razor strokes to shave them, and

Oh, the wonder Of the great trade

and the next day, and the next. day

blowing steadily and strong. The
schooner sailed herself. There was no
pulling and hauling on sheets and
tackles, no shifting of topsails, no
work at all for the sailors to do ex-
cept to steer. At night. when the sun
went down, the sheets were slackened;
in the morning. when they yielded up
the damp of the dew and relaxed. they
were pulled tight again-and that was
all.

exhibits that have q value in the eyes
of every visitor and a far deeper inter-
est to specialists in the many lines OF
human activity. For example, in the
Palace of Trans soortation there are
four miles of tracks for the exhibition

the marine display, the automobiles,

The figures of the engineering depart

ton grounds.
These facts and figures convey to the
mind some idea Of the character Of the
Worlds Fair, but they should appall
no one, for the arrangement Of the
whole is such as to enable the visitor
to get about freely and to find what he
wants to see with little difficulty.
This wonderful Exposition reveals
the growth and development Of past
years and foretells crater things to
come.
Bigness is not, however, the quality
which most appeals. The vast proper
tons of the Worlds Fair come from
necessity in the portrayal OF the

than from effort to outrival former un-
dertakings. In tie planning Of this
