worthy of attention. 1t is said that a
certain college which had great fame
| for its clear, concise English has
quite lost its reputation, since the
| prevalence % athletics has opened
the way to slang and cut speech. And
what is more wonderful about 1t is
the college is fast losing its ideas,
too. The sum of all which is that
quiet, distinct speech is a duty to
ones self and others 1t reduces ner-
vousness, promotes instructions, cul-
! tiyates courtesy and elevates com
partnership. This is the purpose OF
conversation and should be one OF
the dearest objects of education

What is Real Happiness7
| Young girls are found everywhere
who look with yearning eyes and ach-
| ing hearts upon other girls who are
apparently Teveling in the good
times from which, for one reason or
another, they are snut out. The as
sumption is always that the people
are happy who possess what we de-
sire and have not. 1t is natural in
! ference, but it is not always right
Under the rich gowns beats many
sad heart; the calm and smiling
| faces hide often deep trouble and
country-woman's door are passengers
summoned by death or weighed down
| by impending calamity-pdSSenger
who look out upon the quiet farm
mouse as a peaceful and happy haven
| The young girl so envied by others
| because of her beauty, her accmO-
DIishmentg and the attentions heaped
upon her, may care nothing for what
| Is hers because of the one thing I'M
atttainabIe and without which life TO
her seems not worth living. No, the
| happiness o. the world that goes Dy
| is not to be judged by appearances
People Of wealth solemnly aver that
money does not bring unalloyed joy,
and conspicuous illustrations present
ed in the news columns in recent
months prove at least that 1t does
| not insure bliss. Mary Anderson and
Ellen Terry have lately testified that
the triumphs of their profession, the
applause of the public-and few Wo-
men have had mOre-did not make
them happy The people who pos
sess what others do not are likely
! themselves to lack some deeply Gov
eted treasure and to go uncOmfort-
ed because it is out of reach In this
dav of the world men and women do
not wear their hearts upon their
sleeves; they go about with smiles
and brave faces whatever happens,
put they are not always to be envied
because oe the light that falls upon
them For each heart, whether I'M
der siIken bodice or ragged shlrt,
knoweth its own bitterness, and OF
bitterness each has its 1neVltabIe

Resenting The Cartoon.
Smarting under what he believes
to have bsen coarse personal abuse
because he was vigorously cartooned
by a Philadelphia newspaper, Mayor
John E. Reyburn of that city ha~
brought an action against the editor
and six members of the staff Stat
ing his reason for this course, Mayor
Revb1irn SAYS: Il am not making an
attack upon the freedom of the press.
nor upon the press generally, but
simply an trying to dS=dil the abuses
of the privileges of public criticism
which have been most unfairly
made" Mayor Reyburn is no pioneer
in this sort OF reprisal upon the
press, and there Is mass or courl
decisions to indicate that he VIII not
be any more successful than his pre-
decessors OF course, the complain
ant may have unusual and distinct
i've cause for feeling hurt by cartoon
treatment, but the chances are that
he Is merely thinskinned and super
sensitive. The game of politics can
not be played by the man who Is
unwilling to take hard knocks In
the rough and tumble scramble for
office with which We are only too IA
miliar in this country, the candidate
/ or OfficehOIder who winces and com
plains is in an unfortunate position
| That the cartoon has. at times been
used as a vicious weapon and has
caused harm can not be denied MI
Hearst has never Outlived the charge
/ that 1t was a cartoon in one OF his
newspapers that inspired the maniac
al frenzy in the mind of the assassin
of the lamented Mckinley. In many
newspapers the pens of the artists
have Striven to incite class hatred by
outrageous pictorial representations
of CAPITAL and labor, and often they
have shown lack of judgment or con
science in cartOOning public men and
events. Especially are those car
toons that Systematically hound an
individual by exaggeTatiOn OF his
faults TO be condemned Be II said
to the credit of the American news
papers, however. that the cartoon
generally is a mild and gOOd-natUTeG
form of ridicule at which the victims
rarely take OffenSe- MT. Bryan has
been cartOoned as much probably aS
any other living American, but he
has taken it all with smiling COM
placence- Indeed, Mr. Bryan realizes
that cartoons. even i gTOteSQue and
unfair, are powerful factors in keep
ing ones personality before the peO-
pie, and that is the main thing after
