and reward the love. This is the sort
of world we live in. Action and reac-
ton, as, Newton discovered, are forever
equal.
We commonly find what we are look

L never saw any such sunsets as you
paint" said a friend to Turner. Don't
you wish you could?" was the reply.
It is that finer aesthetic sense which
makes and proclaims the artist. The
instinct Of beauty is what Wordsworth
carries with him to his observation Of
the world, And the stanzas which i'm
mortalize his name are merely q part
Of the answer made by nature to
Wordsworth's gift to himself
SO with respect to our relations to
each other. A Persian proverb says
that if we would be sweet we must lie
among the flowers. Not only would
we be known by the company we keep !;
we would fain be made by the company
we keep. Yet the fact is that it takes
more than a holy fellowship to sweet
en- a sour heart.
What we get from other people is
chiefly their answer to what we carry
to them. For a man to discover evil
in the world about him is not so great
a discredit to the world as it is to
himself. When 1 hear people sheer at
the integrity of men or the honor Of
women, l am chiefly sorry that such
scoffers have given themselves away. 1t
it always night to a blind man.
The world is a mirror rejecting the
features we hold up to it. We can af-
ford to be careless where we live in
proportion as we are careful what we
are. So also in the domain of bust
ness. Each man bears his own trade
mark.
Merchant and professor walk with a
different swing. The automobilist
comes to wear the automobile face, yet
it is cOWardly for a man to blame his
own deformities upon the spirit Of the
age in which he lives. The baneful
effects Of corrupt business upon a man
are chiefly reactions of the man him
self. The man who comes uptown
spoiled is the man who went downtown
ready for the spoiler. Trade will prob
ably make us the sort of folks we are
willing to be.
Nor can it be essentially different by
and by. Who shall even guess all that
Immortality may mean? No descrip-
ton has ever furnished a hint of what
we shall be. Just one characteristic of
the future is clear Heaven and hell
will be the answers to what we are
Not even God can put heaven into an
unheavenly heart, and not ill demons
can prevail to keep heavenly spirit
out of heaven. Still, as we SOW, we

ROBBERS STEAL SILK.
Store of Luther Davies & Co. at Osh-

Dry Goods Taken.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Oct 26.-[ Special
A large quantity of silk, more than
400 yards, valued at over $40O, was stol-
en- from the dry goods store of Luther
Davies Il Co. on Main street some time
Saturday night or Sunday. The robbers
took eleven part bolts of goods of which
eight were black, three were blue and
one brown. In this respect the robbery
was peculiar as they evidently wanted
nothing but soliG colors and did not touch
any of the fancy designs. They did not
open the money drawer which had So in
it and no other goods, excepting the
silk, were missing. Entrance to the
store was secured through a rear window
by means of a jimmy.
1t is believed by the police that the
job is the work of men who have been
doing this sort of work throughout the
state, the robbery at Madison recently,
being similar to this one.

professional florists among his victims
True, he disclaimed responsibility for

places the loss In the South as the re-
suit Of the ravages OF the fever tick at
$24,000,GO0 annually. This is considered
a very conservative estimate, as the

These losses are not the result Of the

success, but it has remained for Mrs.
Theodore Thomas, wife of the great
orchestra leader, to hit on practical
remedy for the evil. She is taking

hope that the full legal penalty may be

while a good many owners of horses
might be influenced by arguments
based on sentiment, there are hundreds
who can be reached only through their
pockets. If she can make it expensive
for an owner to overload wagon, she
thinks she will be able to save the
