The Coming Of the Arbutus

IL shake my curls," said the
maiden, land warm rain falls from
the clouds"
when / walk about the leaves
fall from the trees at my command;
the ground, and the birds fly away"
returned the old man.
The maiden said: when l walk
about the plants lift their heads, the
trees cover their nakedness with
their leaves, the birds come back
and all who see me sing.
Thus they talked while the air
became warmer in the lodge, and
the old mans head dropped upon
his breast and he slept.
Then the sun came back, and a
blue bird sand from the top of a
tree, "Say-ee, say-ee! l am thirsty"
AS the old man slept on the mai
den passed her hands over him and
great change came; he was a mass
of green leaves and lovely, clinging,
damp moss upon the ground. Then
the maiden, kneellng upon the turf.
took from her own bosom the most
precious flowers and hid them in
the green leaves and moss, breath
ing softly upon them and saying:
Il give thee all my virtues and
my sweetest breath, so that all who
ben the knee can pluck thee from
the lowly bed"
Then the maiden moved away
Through the woods and over the
plains. and all the birds sang for
her, and wherever she stepped
grows the lovely arbutus.

Many, many moons ago, there
lived an old man alone in his lodge
by frozen stream in the forest.
His locks we're long and white with
age; he was heavily clad in furs,
for snow and ice were everywhere.
The winds went wild through the
forest and the old man went about
searching in the deep snow for
pieces of wood to KEEP up the fire
in his lodge. One day he had not
been successful and returned to his
hut, sitting down by the few dy-
ing embers, and cried to Mamma
boosho, the Indian god to keep him
from perishing. Just then the wind
blew open the door and in came a
most beautiful maiden. Her cheeks
were red and made of wild roses;
her eyes were large, and glowing;
her hair touched the floor as she
walked; in her hands were willow
buds, and her clothing was of wild
sweet grasses and young ferns, and
upon her feet were white blossoms;
when she breathed the air of the
lodge became warm.
The old man said; NM daugh-
ter, ! am glad to see you. MY hut
is cold and cheerless, but N will
shield you from the tempest of the
night Tell me who you are. am
Manic. / blow my breath and
the waters of the river stand STILL
Then the maiden said II breathe
and fl0wers spring up on ally the
plains."
The old man answered: II shake
my locks and snow covers all the
ground"

No man is born into the world
who does not have many opportuni-
ties to be generous, and to be truly
generous is to be great in charac-
ter. Merely because one has not
money to bestow upon charity, al
though he may feel sure that he
could spend II far more wisely than
those who have 1t, is small reason
for concluding that the fates did
not intend him to be of generous
service to his fellow men.
The man who at the expense of
his own time helps another man to
success, who at the expense of his
own pleasure does another serv-
ice, who at the cost of his own van
ity helps an old woman across the
street or to a seat in a trolley car
such q man is far more generous
than he who gives away millions
of dollars that he does not need.
Liberality should never be frown-
ed upon. Whoever gives for a
worthy cause, whether he gives
generously or from purely selfish
motive, helps the world along,
Ihe saves his dim nth think So q
He may save many others, il he
doesn't save his own.
i There is much to be done IN the
world; few VINO are willing to do
it. The rivalry in good, N works
among men like Rockefeller often
brings them closer to those they
lhelp--often gives them impulses
that are really generous.
Leave them to do with their
money all the good they can. And
in the meantime generously give OF
what you have. Self-denial will i'm
prove your own character You will
get far more out of every generous
deed that costs you something thar
you will out of mere liberality
which gives you temporary self-sat
isfaction at no expense whatever.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1909-04-01

The actor or actress devoting to
charity gifts made valuable by long
years of toll; the doctor giving his
valuable time to the poor, without
hope of compensation; the clergy
man working for the physical and
moral welfare of his congregation
on fourth of the salary he could
earn outside the church; the hon
est statesman sacrificing large
income to serve his fellow country
men-such as these are truly gen
erous.
What they do for their fellows
costs something. And so does the
giving of money. when it is accom-
panied by thought, by interest in
the object for which is 1t given, and
by sacrifice of the time of the
giver.
Going down into ones pocket as
a response to a call for charity is
one thing. Finding for ones self
a public duty that needs doing, and
intelligently considering the best
way to do it, is quite another.
The first is liberality. The sec
ond is generosity.

Here is a picture OF a soldier,
who like Sir Philip Sidney, is CIV
ing to another soldier the last few
drops OF water in his own canteen.
This is an editorial on generosity,
and no picture could better illus
tratc It; for giving to another what
one needs himself is true generosity.
Let us not begin with the suppo-
sition that generosity is rare. Ev-
cry man who remembers his mother
knows better than that. Where is
the mother who would not deny
herself for her child? Where is the
mother who would not go without
pretty clothes, food, drinks, medi-
cine, comfort, that her children
might have all these things? Where
is the mother living today who does
not daily undergo sacrifices cheer
fully to add little to the enjoy
ment OF her sons and daughters?
But the lives of the mothers OF
the world, while they set beau
tifui example for all mankind, are
too often passed by with neglect.
And today we ask you to consider
the case OF large numbers of people
who think they are generous be-
cause, from some purely selfish mo-
tive, they give away what they do
not need.
NThe man about town, coming
hokpe from the opera sees a beggar
woman on the street corner, and
tosses a dollar bill to her. He feels
generous thrill as he does this
worthy thing-his chest expands,
and he says to himself: Really,
am a pretty good fellow, after all.
No appeal from the suffering is made
to me in vain"
Next morning he is informed that
his brother is ill-dying, perhaps
IN a far away town. To send
>qey is easy. He writes his check
drouple OF hundred dollars and
oft into a mail box with an
1 beapw of self-pride. at does

without friends What he wants is
to see his brother, to have some
relative by him in his last illness.
All! This is different matter
To go to the sick brothers bedside
would mean sacrifice-sacrifice o
pleasure, of business interests, o
comfort. The brother thinks i
over and grows uncomfortable. Thel
he says to himself.
st is all foolishness-his want

thing that can be done for him i

he should ask me to leave m,
friends and my home and my bust
ness and go to him. I'll send hin
all the money he wants, but as 70
going-no, it can't be done!"
And SO our pattern of generosity
who blithely losses a dollar bill Il
beggar woman, isn't generous, at
ter all; only a selfish. sordid, ev

doesn't cost him anything. n

Generosity Means Sacrifice

Real Value What You Do for Others

of mind. or a feeling of self-satis-
faction, they can lay no claim to
generosity.
OF course, the world usually BEN
efits from their liberality, and 1t
should not be discouraged. Better
give a beggar woman a dollar than
give 1t to a saloon keeper. Better
bestow three or four millions on
university or medical college than
use 1t to manipulate the stock mar
ket.
In world that has not learned
to take care of its mentally and
physically sick-which permits a
condition that produces beggars, al
lows children to go hungry and toll
crates the ravages of preventable
disease-liberality on the part of
men who know how to make money
is necessary
Mr.. Rockefeller. having more
money than he could spend ON him
self IL his life we're to be prolonged
through centuries, endows a college
in Chicago. and, better still, estab-
fishes a great institution in New
York for the purpose of finding the
causes of the dreadful diseases that
tenement districts at a time. His
Iliberality is needful. There should
be no question of accepting his
money or asking where he got 1t.
Such part of 1t as he has given
away is doing good work.
Mr.. Carnegie. having amassed
some hundreds of millions, chooses
to spend it on libraries, and books
to fill them, providing, thrifty, as
he thinks, that the beneflciaries of
his liberality shall be liberal, too.
The libraries are useful the
books ought to be read. There is
lno reason why any community
should refusee a Carnegie library IL
it can afford to keep it up.
But the liberality of Mr.. Carne-
gle, like the liberality of Mr.. Rookie
Teller, costs the giver nothing.
Endowing university does not
mean that there will be less meat
on the Rockefeller table, fewer au-
tomobiles to carry the head of the
Rockefeller family to and from
work. scarcity Of greensward on
the Rockefeller golf course, or an
7 impaired campaign fund, at Mr..
/ Archbold's disposal in the Standard
Oil treasury
And all the libraries that Mr.
Carnegie has given away have moi
imposed upon him any self-denial--
, and self-denial is what counts, after
all.
1t is not to be denied that as &
nation we have a habit of looking al
! price marks, which very seldom tel
lus anything about actual prices.
