Discomfort and Progress.

The following is from an address of
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, delivered on May
Both, 1909:
The twentieth century needs soldiers
on the field of duty. On every side there
are wrongs to be righted, burdens to be
borne, and tears to be wiped away What
We want is not contentment, but agita-
ton. Scientists tell us there is nothing
in the world at rest. There are but two
spots on this earth that don 7 move-the
poles--and God has made them uninhabl.
table. Only running water is pure. The
durable satisfactions of life are earned
by service. The cry of discomfort in
America is the trumpet sound of prog
ress. Our problems are being threshed
out on the great stage erected by world
power. We get our lessons and sermons
from the rivalries of commerce, the nc.
centuation of differences, and the conflict
of ambitions. The earth may be shaken
by the tramp of marching legions; one
nation may conquer another prlicies
come and go, crceds rise and fall, meth
DDS change and yield to the forcefu cur
rents of popular thought, but the grand
march of the race goes 1t is the
struggle of men to create an ENVIRON
mcnt in which they may live and love ant
hope.
/ believe that right will triumph be
cause I have an abiding confidence in
the people Restlcssly they move on to-
ward higher ground. We have the palace
with its dry rot and the city with its
feasting sums, but between them we have
that -conquering trinity of thought,
emotion and power, the plain American
people. Yes, we are making progress!
You have seen intelligence increase, you
have seen philosophy bind up the wounds
of the "A icted, you have seen legislation
tighten the hours of toll, you have seen
education made free and established as
Il part of the heritage of every child of
the Republic. The best impulses of our

ourselves may not have shown itself pre-
ciseiy the same way that il cropped out
in the other chap; but it s the same
brand of meanness, having it's origin in
the same streak of cussedness which
seems to run through the human race.
Just how often and how much we
should forgive is "A question which
has puzzled many a philosopher and
good many more self-appointed judges.
There are plenty of men who would

But the Lord doesn't hate the sinner
He hates sin. These would,be executors

a matter of fact, we punished not so
much for our sins as by our sin. Few
of us need to wait until the hereafter to

Perhaps the devil thinks that he IL miss
out on getting some Of us in the end, SO
he s giving us here and now some of the
punishment that we deserve. According
to the rules of the game, most of us de
serve all that we are getting and whole

guilty man will escape-cxcept as the

But we won t discuss the embarrassing
question rs to what we, ourselves, shall be
compelled to face when all things will be

One day Peter--bg hearted, stumbling,

Jesus how often men should forgive sins

"No, not seven timcs,'' replied Je-
sus,l "but seventy times seven, - mean

undoubtedly Maitland had escorted her

been to that place. Somewhere else,
he insisted, confident that SHE was
playing fair.

Chocolate Sauce for Pudding.

NY Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly publish a recipe for
making a good chocolate sauce to go
with cornstarch and bread pudding?
Also will you tell me what will re-
move the odor of onions from the
breath. Thanking you,
SUBURBAN.
Chocolate Sauce-Boil one cupful
water and one-half cupful sugar three
minutes. Mix three teaspoonfuls
grated chocolate and one teaspoonful
cornstarch with two-thirds cupful of
milk. Stir in with sugar and water.
Boil until it thickens a little.
If a sprig of parsley dipped in vine
gar is eaten after an onion no un-
pleasant odor from the breath can be
detected.

the girl crowded back into a corner
of the cab, as though trying to efface
herself. Her eyes closed almost auto
matieally; the curve of laughing lips
became a doleful droop; a crinkle APP
peared between the arched brows;
waves of burning crimson flooded her
face and throat.
In her lap both hands lay clenched
into tiny fists-clenched SO tightly that
it hurt, numbing her fingers: a physical
pain that, somehow, helped her to en-
dure the paroxysms of shame. That
she should have stopped so low! .
Presently the fingers relaxed and her
whole frame relaxed in sympathy. The
black squall had passed over; but now
were the once tranquil waters ruffied
and angry. Then languor gripped her
like an enemy: she lay ~listless in its
hold, sick and faint with disgust of self.
This was her all-sutficient punish
ment: to nave done what she had done,
to be about to do what she contem-
plated. For h had set her hand to the
pillow: there must now be no drawing
back, however hateful might prove her
task.
The voice of the cabby dropping
through the trap reused her. This is

Mechanically she descended from the
hanson and paid her fare; then, sum-
moning up all her strength and resolu-
ton, passed into the lobby of the hotel
and paused at the telephone switch

receiving the glowing cigarette from a
hand whose sheer perfection was but
enhanced by the ripe curves of a
rounded forearm. He inhaled
deeply, with satisfaction.
