a philosopher much admired in that me-
tropois. Speaking at a banquet recent,
he gained much applause. according to ar
English paper. by describing the follow.
ing as the II important mistakes people
make in this life:
TO attempt to set up our own standard

others by our own.
TO expect uniformity of opinion in thi.
world
To look for Judgment and experience il

Not to yield in unimportant trifies.
To look for perfection in our own ac.

To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate, ii we can, all thai
needs alleviatioiI
Not to make allowances for the weak.
nesses OF others.
TO consider anything impossible that we
cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite mind;
can grasp.
To live as If the moment. the time, the
day were SO important that it would live
forever
To estimate people by some outside
quality. for it is that, within which makes
the man.

Country life In America has assumed
an aspect in recent years which ap-
peals emphatically to the heart of city
bred people, most of whose lives have
been spent in crowded apartment house,
or rented home, or even in ones own
home-in any case, real estate being at
such exorbitant figures that even the
wealthiest can afford only a two-by-four
lot. every inch of which is covered by
the house itself.
Suburban life has been further empha-
sized by its delightful sporting phase of
fishing. hunting, golf, polo and tennis,
and with the rapid transit facilities in

of the men. We had gone only a short
distance when we heard shot. We
wheeled our horses, and started back
and met two of the rebels running their
horses towards us, shouting for protec-

Lieutenant, and wanted to surrender
and be protected. We told them to go
into camp and give themselves up. We
