The difference between mans
character and his reputation may be
great indeed. In a word, mans
character is what he is. while his rep
utation is what people think he is.
Of late the American people have
watched the regulations of some OF
their most valued men melt away like
snow in the sunlight. Men today are
laying aside the moral law of right
and wrong and placing in it's stead a
penal code which can be bent and dis.
torted by the wary attorney to meet
any circumstance. It sounds we'll to
talk of looking for the best in people
and passing by their mistakes and in
a rightful moral sense this is fairly
good creed to follow, but in this day
it must be taken "cum grano Sails

Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University puts it in this

perhaps, between honest, law-honest,

cured illegal entrymen and got men to

pose of settlement but in reality that

Last Sunday, October the 10Th.
marked the close of the Portland eX-
position. This fair has been an I'M
PARALLEL success, as worlds fairs go.
1t is stated on good authority that
more than two and one fourth mil
lions of people have passed through
the gates and there is dividend of
something like $3.50 600 to be distribu-
ted among the stockholders. The fair
has not alone been beneficial to Port
land, but has afforded to the entire
northwest a gigantic advertising med
ium. People have gone to Portland
this summer for two reasons-to see
the Lewis and Clark exposition and
to learn more about the northwest.
Montana will reap an abundant re-
ward from the great number of tour
lists who have visited her cities and
learned of her resources. Many of
them will return to avail themselves
of the opportunities offered by the
treasure state. Montana will realize
distinctive growth through the ave-
nue. opened up by the Lewis and CLARK
exposition. Montana too, has received
due recognition for her exhibit.
While it was not large one, in a fail
way it represented the resources OF
the state. Out OF SO entries made in
the agricultural exhibit, n medals
were received. The mineral exhibit
was particularly fine one and excelled
that of Colorado, the closest competi'
ton in almost every particular.

CHAPTER XIV.

Y THINK l have said enough of the
spirit and manifestations of the
simple life to make it evident that
A there is here a whole forgotten
world Of strength and beauty He can
make conquest of it who has sufficient
energy to dctach himself from the IA
tai rubbish that trammels our days
1t will not take him long to perceive
that in renOuncing some surface salts
factions and childish ambitions he in
creases his faculty of happiness and
his possibilities Of right Judgment.
These results concern as much the
private as the public life, 1t is incOn-
testable that in striving against the fe
veriSh will to shine, in ceaSing to make
the satisfaction of our desires the end
of our activity, in returning to modest
tastes, to the true life, we shall labor
for the unity of the family. Another
Jpirit will breathe in our homes, Great
ing new customs and an atmosphere
more favorable to the education of chill
dren. Little by little our boys and girls
will feel the enticement of ideals at
once higher and more realizable, and
transformation of the home will in
time exercise its influence on public
spirit
AS the solidity of a wall depends
upon the grain of the stones and the
consistence of the cement which binds
them together, so also the energy of
public life depends upon the individual
value OF men and their power of cohe
sion. The great desideratum of our
time is the culture of the component
parts Of society, of the individual man.
Everything in the present social or
ganiSm leads us back to this element
In neglecting it we expose ourselves
to the loss Of the benefits of progress
even to making our most persistent eff
forts turn to our own hurt If in The
midst of means continually more and
more perfected the workman diminish
. in value, of what use are these fine
tools at his disposal? By their very
excellence to make more evident the
faults of him who uses them without
ASSORTMENT or without conscience
The wheelwork of the great modern
machine is infinitely delicate. Care
leSsneSS, incompetence or corruption
may produce here disturbances of far
greater gravity than would have
threatened the more or less rudimen-
tary organism of the society of the
past. There is need, then, of looking to
the quality of the individual called
upon to contribute in any measure to
the workings Of this mechanism. This
individual should be at once solid and
pliable, inspired with the central law
of life to be oneself and fraternal. Ev-
erything within us and without us be
comes simplified and unified under the
influence Of this law, which is the
same for everybody and by which each
one should guide his actions for our
essential interests are not opposing;
they are identical. In cultivating the
spirit of simplicity we should arrive,
then, at giving to public life stronger
cohesion.
The phenomena of decomposition and
destruction that we see there may all
be attributed to the same cause-lack
Of solidity and cohesion. 1t will never
be possible to say how contrary to so
cial good are the trifing interests Of
caste. of coterie Of church. the bitter
