There are bad men, corrupt men,
men who sell power and influence,
men who betrny condolences, mel

of powers of gain and of guilt.
But there are men of integrity,
incorruptible, of highest honor
whose service is faithful, and with

is guided by duty, and these are
not few. They are many.
Let US make distinctions, aud

Early LandhoidIno.

Nothing is clearer than the fact that
the system OF landhoiding in the most
ancient races was communal. Private
right in land was for long time I'M
known. the source Of life being held IN
common between the members Of the
tribe. Not only land. but all property
that In any way had TO do with the
general welfare, was looked upon aa
belonging to the whole tribe In COM
mon, no individual having the right to
call It his own. Gradually and after
a very long time, under the old regime,
the right Of private ownership began
to creep in until at last It became the
recognized rule pretty nearly every
where.-New York American.

A VERY PLEASANT HOME
Al Because Of the Way He Solved th'
Closet Space Problem.

~ Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.
must tell all my brothers bow my
wife and | have solved the problem
which 80 bothers those who dwell
where there Is but little closet room,
With one dressing case between US,
there was not room for all our things.
AS to the closets, they were crammed
full, and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. SO ! purchased
another dressing case.
then took all my clothes. which
had been erowding my wlfe's in her
dressing case. and arranged them in
my own. In the top drawer ! put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
All those other little articles OF 6nery
which every man loves 50 much. In
the second drawer l placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers, neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de
lighted, as II gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But In day or so the new plan
proved to have a few defects, SO at my
wife's suggestion / emptied one Of the
upper drawers in my dresser, putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for q few OF her Jabots, scarfs,
etc. The second day It was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer, the lowest one.
so this was fixed, and into the second
drawer my wife moved few Of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that ] was still using
too much space, permitted her TO put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers. etc,
thus giving her both OF the upper
drawers and the next and still leay-
ing me plenty Of room in the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then. however, I have found
that l do not require so much space
for my few things, 50 have taken them
out Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box, which | keep
under the bed, thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. / end the present Arrangement
very satisfactory, as all have TO do
now IS TO empty the hat box on the
bed when l want anything in Il and
then. when l have made my selection,
sweep the other articles back into
place,
IN this way have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything Is
quite pleasant in our home.--Paul West
