LIFE ITSELF THE HIGHEST ART.
BY Ada May Krecker.

ject with faithful adherence to the principles
Of symmetry and proportion Of fulfilling the
noble precepts Of Stobeus that "all the parts

I Of statue, ought to be beautiful" Hierocles,
the Creek reasoned that the body the temple Of the
SOUL then subordinate thereto, and the soul the
shrine Of the spirit hence Its nferority 1t meet
therefore that the spirit be accorded first honors and
nobes service and culture that the lesser powers of
soul receive next rank and the body the humblest Of all
mans Instruments be given the lowest place. occupy the

virtues OF the cattle in the strength of body but the
virtues OF in nobility Of intellect In the view
Of yet another follower of the immortal Pyhagoras the
deformss of the body may be tempered and healed by
the proper culture of the soul.
It the reckless abandon to the beauties of the
terial man and the material world and the oblivion to
the things Of the spirit that stamped inadequate tho

A CLEVER BIRD

- >
daw who lived in captivity-that Is,
In cage. He was a clever bird, at
least SO the farmers friends said,
and the jackdaw thought SO himself.
The old farmer grew quite fond Of
him and allowed him to come out Of
the cage. He liked to have him stand
near. with his head cooked knowing
ly on one side, watching him at work.
"Ay. he's clever, he is. He knows
a deal about gardenin',." the old
farmer would say, and the bird never
contradicted him.
One day the old man was very
busy wedding the garden and the bird
helped him pull out the weeds.
aSee, wife," he shouted. Been

in"
But can he do it,. anxiously ask
ed the wife.
"Oh, he's a clever bird, he is"
The bird croaked joyously.
Early next morning the clever jack.
daw was up and doing. He wished
to give the good old farmer a sur
prise. so he started bit 20 weedin' y
ON his own account before breakfast.
When the farmer and his wife came
the clever bird had already worked
for hours and had succeeded In pull
Ing up whole row of young, lettuces.
the farmers choicest vegetable, None
had escaped him. Ruin stared the
farmer In the face. -
SOW! Ow! Ow! I'm sure n he's
too clever by far" cried the farmer,
and the iackdaw was put back in his
prison to live his life in solitary con-
finement. New Haven Register.
TWO RULES.
Here are two rules, Fred" which
will do US both lot OF good" said
Giles to his younger brother one day.
"And they are?" asked Fred.
The first Is. Never get vexed with
anything you can help and the sec.
ond is. Never get vexed with any
thing you can't help"
III you take them to heart, will
too" said the younger brother.
ITS as good as done. When shall
we begin to put them into practice?' ~
asked Giles.
Now or never" answered Fred.
Il think those two rules take wide
and clean sweep. They don't leave
a fellow chance to get vexed at all.
Do they?"
That's too bad!" exclaimed Frei
the next morning, while preparing for
school.
what is the matterr inquired
Giles.
Il have broken my shoestring and
I'm mad because I'm in such hurry
1T is vexatious. no doubt" replied
Giles. "but you must not get vexed,
for this is one of the things that can
be helped. You will find q string
in the left corner of the top draw
en-"
But we shall be late for school,"
NO, we shall not" said Giles. 1--WE
shall only have to walk little faster.
Besides. II you keep cool you will
get Inc string IN much quicker
That is true. said Fred. as he
started to restore the string, himself
quite restored to good ,humor.
Several opportunities occurred dur.
ing the day for putting into practice
the new rule. The last was this:
In the evening Giles broke the blade
of his knife, while whiting hard
piece Of wood.
ut cant be helped cried Fred.
You must not get vexed about IT,.
ut might have been helped" said
Giles, but ! can do better than to
fret about 1t. can learn a lesson
of care for the future which may some
day save a more valuable knife, The
rules work well. Let's keep them up
forever" 8

toration of the Stuarts and the downfall
OF the commons.
Of your opponent, Sherman, you will be
ableyto show without violating the ethics
of politics that his career in congress has
been distinguished only by his absolute
subserviency to the oligarchy in control
of the house of representatives and that
when Cannon consented to the passage
of Sherman at the Chicago convention he
was simply putting his o. K. on another
measure satisfactory to the committee on
rules and the interests they represent.
In comparing our standard bearer with
the leader Of the republican forces you
will be able to show that the democracy
presents as candidate for president q
man who in sunshine and in gloom has
kept the faith with his people watch
man in the night, who has lighted the
signal fires and sounded the tocsin bell
whenever invasion has threatened his
slumbering countrymen; patriot, who
| believes that love Of country must be
closely akin to the affection that hovers
about and sanctifes the hearthstone Of
American homes; scholar who has pat
iently examined the historic lore of his
own and other lands to discover the social
and economic laws that control the life
Of human societies. A statesman who
knows that government can endure only
in the observance of great moral truths
and that the acquisitions Of enormous ma
terial and intellectual wealth unrestrained
| by sanctions of the conscience only
hastens the decline that must ultimately
end in death. It is just cause, this fight
of ours for return to the first principles
of self-goyernment, and under the leader
ship of yourself and your illustrious col
league, whom have just described, the
names of Bryan and Kern will spell sue
cess for the party that declares for pop
ular rule"

The Philadelphia North American ac-
cused Mayor Reybun Of telling the truth,
and Immediately the Mayor had the North
Americans editorial staff arrested for

The Philadelphia Public Ledger grows
humorous over Mr.. Bryan's question,
"Shall the people ruler" Perhaps the

declaring that the people of Philadelphia
