midas Holidays.

India is a country of eternal holi
days. Every sect and tribe, roughly
speaking. has it's own festivals. and
these are religiously observed On
such occasions the open spaces are
filed with swings and merry-go-
rounds, and the booths where food and
sweetmeats are sold do roaring
trade. It is very interesting to watch
the different racial types that come to
make holiday here women yelled and
mysterious, there women who show
their faces and wear tight fitting
trousers instead of skirts. The people
are of al shades from the fair. al.
most European complexion of the
northern type to the practically coal

of the south. It is in India. at fhe

Let me illustrate:
Some time ago DIR. Oscar Eckstein Of
che University of Chicago got tired Of
the complex round of civilized life.
He went to Idaho, alone. TO live for
"a time the simple life.
On a barren and unfrequented por-
don of lake he built himself a shanty.
discarded civilized clothes and loafed
and invited his soul.
He was trying to answer the call of
The wild that was in him.
Eckstein wanted to get away from
everybody. He spent two hours in the
water every day, lounged on the sandy
k3oeach as long as he wished. ate when
ne was hungry and obeyed only the
primal instincts.
So far SO good. But
a few weeks after he had built his
E1ut the professor made a startling dis
scovery-as startling as that of poor old
Robinson Crusoe when he found the
human footsteps in the sand
The learned doctor. who had turned
primitive actually stumbled upon one
of the richest deposits Of gold ever
found in Idaho.
Heigh-ho!
Here was problem-what to do?
Should he forget the gold and go on
as before?
Observe this:
Almost in the twinkling of an eye
the glitter of the gold nuggets had
blinded Eekstein's eyes to Pastor
Wagners gentle teaching of the simple
life.
The outcome?
DR.. Eckstein donned the garments
of civilizatfo and concluded to try the
gold cure for his ennui.
Returning to Chicago with his sam
pies. he was able before the summer
was over to sell his claim for a for
tune. He went back to the fatherland
with his money and ar last reports was
negotiating for a baronetcy.
We are like children.
Like little children. we play with
some toy for awhile and then discard
glt for one that is more glittering. And
the glittering toy in turn fails to sat
isfy
Today we are lured by some sweet
ideal Tomorrow we clutch at the
golden notes in the air or grovel for
them in the dust.
Shall we know what we really want
when we get to heaven?

MILKING TO MUSIC.

A Michigan farmer contends that
cows give more milk while music is
being rendered.
In order to test his theory Mr.. Led
erer. manager OF the Olympic theater,
Chicago. lent his entire orchestra of
nine instruments and went to the farm
of Mrs. Scott Darand. a society wom-
an whose fad is dairying.
The sixty-one Jerseys and Holsteins
on the farm were milked to such tunes
as THE Blue Danube and other
soothing strains. The mixers claim
the nerves of the cows were Gained
and their udders gave down more

Music impregnated milk is fact.

Mailino the Dead.

The japanese in Denver who shipped
the cremated remains of his son to ia
pan through the postoffice found a new
use for the mails. In this act the Gus
toms and traditions of people lately
out of barbarism called for aid upon
the conYeniences of modern life and
received it. The japanese, according
to the customs of his country, wished
the remains of his boy to rest in his
fatherland. He had the remains Gre
mated and the ashes tightly packed in
Theoretically sealed jar. This he was
able to mail to Japan from Denver for
the small cost of % cents. 1t was the
first time that the postofice depart
ment ever had TO pass upon this par
ticular kind of package, and nothing
was found in the law TO forbid the car
rying Of it through the mails Mont

The LIAR.

Uncle Sam has no use in his army
for a liar.
Not long ago a West Point cadet
was accused of chewing gum while
on duty. That is a minor offense. pun
ishable by dement's or brief confne-
ment.
But he lied about it.
That was different Lying is re-
garded by West Point authorities as a
heinous ofense. The cadet was sum-
marily dismissed in disgrace.
About the same time another cadet
was accused of having civilian clothes
in bis quarters. also minor offense.
The cadet lied about it,
And, in like manner. he was dis
missed in disgrace
Uncle Sam wants no liars among his
army officers. and he therefore nips
the prevaricator in the bud. Uncle
Sam wants dependable men. and he
knows a liar is not dependable. The
liar is apt to fail in emergencies or be-
tray trust at critical time
Nor has the world any use for liar.
Commerce is built on confidence. Con-
fidence is the basis for credit, and
credit is nine-tenths of business.
Therefore there is no proper place in
business for liar.
1t is SO of all personal and public re-
lations The liar cannot be a good
husband or son or citizen
Why?
Because he has fundamental weak
ness in his character. There is moth
ing In him to build upon. He cannot
be true His falseness is sure to crop
out.
Somebody has said, Lying is a fine
art"
It is not!
There is no art in it. Lying is a
clumsy eonTrivance that breaks down
at every point. Nothing is true that
fails. Lying fails.
1t must be so.
Everything in the universe is at
tuned to integrity So long as two
and two are four and cannot by any
possibility be five. so long as a straight
line is the shortest line between two
points. just SO long will the crooked
ness of the liar fail to it
The liar must be untrue TO every
thing. and everything must be untrue
to him.
Teach your child and train him in
the cardinal virtue of truthfulness.
Teach him and train him to tell the
truth and shame the devil"
Teach him and train him to abhor
lie and a liar.
