QUITE A VITAL DIFFERENCE
Gulf Discovered Between "Systema-
tized Charity" and Christianity.

A Chinaman who was kindly dis
posed had a dog. He loved dogs. One
evening he cut off the tail or the dog
and ate it for supper. 1t YVES sweet
little dog-so he gave it the bone for
it's supper.
A Caucasian who saw this said:
You are pauperizing that dog. Provi-
dence in it's infinite wisdom committed
that tail to you-as trust We would
have inquired if the dog was a de-
serving dog and investigated as to
whether he had other means of sup
port, or relatives who would take care
of him; if we found that he had none
we would have tabulated his case and
judiciously given him one joint of the
bone per week
The Chinaman asked: rs that the
Christianity"
well, no, it is not exactly Chris
tianity," said the Caucasian, but an
outgrowth of it, which we call Sys-
tematized Charity"
Said the Chinaman: That is better
than heathenism-it is cheaper

DON'T WANT THEM ON A JURY.
Lawyers Have Prejudice Against
CurIy-Haired Men.

1t Is not generally known that there
lis well-defined prejudice against
Icurly-haired men when 1t comes to
choosing jury. When asked to ex.
|plain the objection to curly-haired
men, prominent lawyer said:
when / was just starting life my
legal mentor inculcated that idea very
|forcibly into me, He said that curly
haired men almost invariably had
been the pampered darlings of their
|FareLts, and in their youth had been
$50 accustomed to having their own
way that they had grown up in the be-
lief that everybody on earth was
wrong except themselves. In this
way the seeds of opposition were
|sown, and as men they made it point
Ito disagree with everybody and every
thing. II every other man on
Jury voted one way they would vote
the other. They usually are as stub
born as the day is long. Hence

SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY JOURNALISM

For several years the newspaper
readers of the West have watched with
interest the unique experiment embod-
led in the Sunday Magazine of The
Chicago Record Herald. The time has
now come when it is no longer an ex4
pertinent, but sound and prospecting
success. Nothing else of the kind in
newspaperdom can compare for mo-
ment with this remarkable supplement.
The Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald is real magazine, full of stories
and articles by the best living writer's,
illustrated by eminent artists and car
rying on it's cover each week master
piece of color work. It's prestige is now
such that it can compete with the big
monthlies for the most costly fiction in
the market, sometimes paying as high
as $25, 900 for single serial, as it did
for Conan Doyle's '.Sir Nigel" 1t cap
tured Anthony Hopes ''Sophy of Kra-
vonia' when every other magazine in
the country wanted the story. The
most popular tales of humor now APP
pearing in the United States-those of
the inimitable Shorty McCabe-have
been published exclusively in the Sun
day magazine of The Record Herald
from the start
It's high literary quality has been
steadily mainta. ned and has ''won out. !"
You will find one of the best novels of
the day running serially in it's columns
at the present moment. 1t is not
readers prefer The Sunday Record
Herald to all other papers.

On Arbor Day 1908 some lis, :
000 boys and girls and some
grown folks, cast their ballot in
a primary election for the pur
pose of selecting four wild flower
candidates, one of which is to be
selected as the state flower of
Wisconsin. When the votes
were counted it was found that
the Violet, Wild Rose, Trailing
Arbutus, and the white Water
Lily had been selected as candi-
dates for the election to be held
on Arror Day, 1909.
The children in all schools, to-
gether with the parents and Wis
itors who are present in the
schools during the exercises on
May 9TH, are privileged to vote
and the flower receiving the
highest vote is to be the State
flower.
The case very frequently
arises, where, after all, shall |
begin among the multitude of
books to read? A few sugges-
tions might be added, . on the
basis of the supposed case Of one
who, though DESTROYS of the cul-
ture to be derived from books,
has not yet made systematic
acquaintance with any of the de-
partments of human knowledge,
nor indeed knows enough about
any TO have an interest in it
To such a reader we should en-
dGavor to present the attractions
of literature, science, and .histO-
ry, through the novels of Stew
enson, Verne, and Scott-one
novel from each. In literature
we should recommend only fic-
ton for some time, but in histo-
ry we shonld try for the second
book work like Irving's MA
homet' or Columbus, and in
science "The Modern Seven
Wonders of the World" by Kent.
The narrative poems of Scott
and Morris would prove an easy
path from fiction 10 other depart
ments of literature.
The reader who enjoyed Irv-
ing would pc ready to take up
Motley, Parkman, or Prescott
while Buckley and Smiles would
be welcomed as further guides
into science and the arts. The
reader who had gone SO far with
interest would be ready for more
systematic and specialized read
ing in which his individual tastes
would have to be considered; but
he certainly wonld be able with
out difficulty to make his own
selections from a list like those
found in an ordinary Il G h
School Library.
