There is yet third class superior
to both; he views the spiritual world.
Occasionally he goes back and asks
whence and why, and looking forward,
questions whittier.
Then there is q fourth class, and
this class is very rare. but surpasses
all others. 1t is not safe to call it q
class, for only now and then in a
century is one of these born, and he Is
the one that in his wonderful mental
and moral perceptions embodies the
characteristics of the other three.
How much better it would be if we
were sufficiently wise and perceiving
to value the man for what he is and
rate the office as a mere convenience.

MAN AND HIS JOB

How prone we are to measure men
by their occupations. 1t is the office
and not the man to which we touch our
hats.
Some poor, ignorant slave may
hold a professional caed and he is
yielded the walk. A well-informed,
kindly gentleman will be digging IN
the streets and he il ordered or
buffetted about by his mental and
moral interiors.
A boor may hold office and COM
mand attention and respect; ne may
know nothing of men or books or
things end his only ambition and the
only heights to which he may ever
hope to soar. are health and dollars.
and the highest question in his vocab-
ulary may be, "Will it pay?"
Another man may see the beauty in
life and the beauty in men and the
beauty in pictures and he may know
the wonderful beauties of Nature
crawling out through crack and
Granny, but If he have not dollars and
hold no office, he is passed I'D as one
not worth knowing; as ons whose
society is not worth cultivating, and
vet. in all that makes for manhood
and goodness. he is million miles
above the other clod.
And there are others WITH a spirit
ual understanding, perceptions tnat
reveal to them the real world, and
they are far removed above both, but
if that wonderful spiritual perception
carry him IN his daily life and rounds
beyond the sphere of what the clod
has nominated the practical ne is set
down "a a dreamer and he becomes a
subject of ridicule for the clod.
The lowest grade among what Is
known as sane men, are those who
provel in the material; who think
ONLY of the practical utility of things :
who talk only of bread and dollars.
Next to these are those who see
only the beautiful in things. Such
are the poets and painters and sculp-
tors-tha scientifically inclined being
q cross between these two classes.

COLLEGE EDUCATION

Crane OF Chicago, has had to say in
condemnation of college life and 30
called college education every news
paper in the country has long editorials
on the topic.
Like every other question. great
and small, it has two sides, but the
partisans fail to recognize or admit
the tact, each sees but his side and
proceeds forthwith to demolish all the
other fellow has to say.
This manner of discussion gets US
nowhere or at best by such slow
stages as destroys notation of change.

narrows itself to this-If Young man

Marshall p. Wilder made his initial
public appearance in this city as the
Garrick theatre yesterday, and proved
conclusively that all that has been
said OF him Is true-and then some.
Mr.. Wilder has liberal fund Of
stories and knows how to tell them.
He is the personifcation of humor
itself and will undoubtedly prove
quite as strong a feature i'm this city
as he has proved in other places
and these other places include most
everywhere on top of the earth.
The dramatic treat of the week is
Miss Eva Mountford's presentation OF
Elmer Grandin's new playlet "The
Great Passion" II is a sketch IN
which the human side Of life is made
to play strong, and love and vanity
intermingle for the final mastery. II
is no discredit to the sketch to say
thapit does not fit into variety pro
gram, for Miss Mountford not ONLY
does splendid work herself, but ha,
good support and the piece is capabll
presented in every way.

nit Him to GO Elsewhere

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
EASTON, Nd. Nov. 1.-The people
Of Easton. and especially the MEM
bers Of Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal
Church, were greatly disappointed by
the failure of the Rev. DR.. Charles II.
Babcock to meet his engagement TO
conduct a two weeks meeting In Eb-
enezer church. He was to have been
here last week and this week, but oW-
ing to sickness he was compelled to
cancel his engagement, and the pas
tor, the Rev. Thomas y. Terry, has
been conducting the meeting without
help other than the local church mem
bers. This meetings, so far, have been
fairly we'll attended.
The Third Quarterly Conference OF
Ebenezer, held a few days ago in
vited MIR. Terry to return as pastor for
next year, which would be his fourth,
but he said that while he appreciated
the kindness OF the church IN ex-
tending TO him the invitation to re-
turn. he thought it would be better
that there should be a change OF pas
tors at the end of this year, and so he
asked that he be excused after this
year. It is his purpose TO take another
charge at the coming conference, In
March next.
Much has been said in the news
papers recently about the census re-
port by which It appears that the town
Of Easton has increased only nine per-
sons in ten years, fixing the present
population at 30S3, but corrected fig.
ures make the population 1928, or &
gain Of A in the ten years. There have
/ been built within these ten years 10I
homes, or an average of ten year
but most of these are just outside o
the old corporation limits, and yet ar
a part of the town OF Easton.
