An Illustration.

True sentiment can take pleasure in
a field OF flowers without ruthlessly
plucking them to be carelessly used for
while and then thrown away. In my
former neighborhood lives a little
German lady, She is womanly round
little thing and her husband is big
blond Dutchman. They have been
married twenty-five years He keeps
a harness shop about half mile from
his home. Every evening the round
little German leaves her home and
trots over TO her husbands store.
Every evening he waits until she
comes. Then lac takes down his hat
and together they start back home.
II it's pleasant evening they stroll
around leisurely, arm in arm. Maybe
they'll drop In somewhere and get a
bag OF peanuts, which they MUNICH on
the way. II IL is warm they often
stop in the drug store for a drink of
soda. If II happens to be rainy or
cold he smuggles her tightly under his
arm. Their faces are the faces OF in
nocent happy children. They love
each other. They trust each other.
They are man and wife and true COM
rades She in her woman's way, he in
his mans way. She doesn't forget to
give him good meals and pleasant
and orderly home. Nor does he neg
lect to provide the wherewithal there

A Mans Sentiment.

A man that used to know prided
himself upon being sort OF sentimen-
tai Tommy. He was man who
yielded to every impulse. He was
proud that he did IL. He boosted OF
his ultra-sentimentalism. He made
friends staunch friends when he de-
sired and had no conjunction IN
thrusting them aside when he had
finished with them. He would move
heaven and earth for woman's love
and when his vanity and fancy were
served he could drop the incident
without a qualm OF conscience. And
II neglected friend-one whose
friendship he has courted by every
vile when the within was upon him =
should complain, he would drop his
eyes and sadly mumur: "They do not
understand. They are so coarse grain
cd! / should not be blamed for what
cannot help. 1t Is my nature.
They are not true friends II they can
not sympathize with me-"
That mans wife is hardened,
silent, disappointed woman. She
who perhaps had been won with all
the order OF "ultra-sentimentalism'
had to swallow the dregs of the bub
bling cup. The ultrasentimentalism
should not be allowed to operate with
out a license.

True Sentiment.
What it Is, by one H.

Few people possess it.
A great many people think they
possess 1t.
Some have II, but are ashamed to
show that they have 1t.
A great majority know nothing Of
It,
True sentiment is modest and IL Is
quiet. 1t prates not itself.
1t cares for 81 mpalhy, but does not
court IL.
Many good men have no sentiment
Many bad men have much.
There is sentiment, and there is
sentimentality; a vast distance lies be-
tween.
True sentiment lisa wonderful thing,
for with 1t we may enjoy a wonderful
picture. We may appreciate grand
music, know the chant OF great poets
mind, luxuriate In the whitYs Of a fine
perfume, acknowledge the genius Of a
writer's art, feel the quivering fibers
OF a grand soul and love God as He
would have US love him.
Sentimentality is the driveling im.
tation INDUCED In by those who think
that to hang the head on one side and
say isn't it good, sweetv' and isn't 1t
dear!' and slobber kisses on everything
from puppy dogs to brass idols.
Some folks believe that kissing
everything in sight is fine show OF
sentiment.
1t is fine sentiment which picks
up a stray and fiee-bitten dog in the
street, to be tenderly cared for, while
the frail wife at home keeps the house
hold, does family washing and mend
ing and worrying about the two ends
that won't meet!
IL is an excellent sentiment that
weeps copiously over pathetic love
story and lets the mother do the
kitchen work.
1t is an honorable sentiment that

Ii Is a most unSeliish sentiment
which demands the gentle solicitude
of Others for Its poetic vagaries, yet
neglects with sympathetic care

AT LEAST % MEN KILLED IN
WEST VIRGINIA.
Pocket OF Gas Was Strucl--Six Bodies
Have Been Recovered and There Is
No Hope that Others Still In the
Wrecked Mine Are Alive.

Advices from Charleston, w. Va,
state that at least twenty-eight men
are supposed to have met death in a
terrible mine explosion in the Parall
mine OF the Stewart Galleries Com
pany near Oakhill. Thirty-nine men
were employed in the mine and only
eleven have escaped alive. AT mid
night six bodies had been recovered
near the mouth of the mine and it is
certain that all others in the mine are
dead
Among those known to be in the
mine and supposed to be dead are:
Mine Boss Miles Pratt and his son
James Swan, George Jones and Will
lam Madison.
The explosion occurred at 1870
o'clock Thursday afternoon and was
caused by a pocket OF gas, which was
struck In fault in the mine. The
explosion was terrific and it is thought
that many OF the miners were killed
outright by 1t.
The system OF fans was completely
wrecked and all air was shut off, leav-
ing the men who had not been killed
by the explosion to smother to death
The mine is a shaft about 700 feet
deep and the unfortunate miners had
little chance of escape.
Most Of the entombed men are Hun
garians or negroes, who had little ex-
expecting the pocket OF gas, which is
nearly always discovered in mines in
the Nanawah region.
