We are always trying 20 peer through
the veil that thinly intervenes between

The fortune teller and the palmist

vain hope.
God has hidden, the future from NOR

All Word. Ono. M.,.phaes.

All figures Of speech are either d.
rectly or indirectly meiaphorical. All
are based upon analogy. and all speech
Is originally analogicai. for, as Max
Muller has said. all words once had a
material meaning; all were once meta
phors.
Metaphors are the pioneer symbols
by which we are able 60 penetrate the
regions Of the abstract. When by
long use an abstract thought has be-
come a familiar mental entity. then
the symbol loses its material meaning
and is no longer meta hor. II is dur
ing this period. when figures of speech
retain their uascent material sighifi-
canoe. freshness and surprise. that
they are poetical. Poetry is language

A SecCESsFUL LIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYR.

eve want to hear less Of the man
who began poor and amassed riches"
observes u modern philosopher. land
more about the mnn who lived unsui-
lied. though died poor"
Fifty said.
And therefore the short and simple
annals OF a man who lived an honest
life and died a poor man:
He never sspired to be rich. and to
be rich you must aspire. He was not
built TO make money. You couldn't
have passed laws enough 10 make him
rich. while money just naturally stuck
80 his neighbours hngers. and you could
not have made laws enough 70 keep
the neighbor from getting rich.
This man asked OF the world only q
decent living. bis own rooftree and
good health.
Hts utmost earnings In any year did
not exceed $1,000. and many years Il
was less.
Yet out OF bis savings he paid for
his home. He kept his children I'm
school. Each Of them was graduated
from the high school. After that n
one wished to go to college he worked
his own way-wbich was better for
him.
This man was honorable I'm all his
dealings. The thought OF dishonesty
never suggested itself. He paid his
modest debts. He worked hard, and
he spent little for-luxuries.
He helped his fellows whenever he
could. He was a good neighbor. He
was never heard TO complain OF his
lot He got whaf he asked. fair
chance. and was satisfied.
Never did he knowingly commit a
wrong against man. woman or child.
He laughed often and be loved much
And when he died men said or him.
''Hc was an honest man and a good
citizen"
That IL all.

Whose life was this?

mans life.

IS 1T RIGHT


A baby named James Il. Martin of
Long Island Is worth 100000.
The baby has yearly allowance.
by order OF the court. amounting 10
k15,750
These are the items:
The rent Of q home $4,000 and
$500 for its maintenance; for an au-
tomobile and its keep. 5000; for en-
fertainment, recreation and exercise,
$500; for prospective medical attention
and medicines. 500; for clothing.
$3.50; total. $15,75O.
or course the baby can afford that
much Tor its annual keep and have
money left from its large income.
But
Think what that money would do

arms too young even to wish for lug

For Instance
Suppose that $1,000 were used to buy
a home Instead Of paying baby's rent.
II would pay Tor coy lifetime resi-
dence for q workingman's family of
six.
Or take that $500 a year which
goes to the maintenance Of the infants
home. That much money would keep
the family of that nottingham for
ten years.
Or appropriate the 5000 for the au-
tomobile and it's expense to a like
purpose. The sum would keep the
children In school until they gradual
ed In high school. pay street car fares.
provide happiness for six and leave

Or the 500 for baby's medicine
would pay the doctors bill for the
family Of six for five years.

IRISH PARTY TO HOLD ALooF,
 THEIR STAND IN PARLIAMENT.
Home Rule the Stake NationaIists Are
 Playing For.

London Feb 22.-The political at naosphere continued heavy when par liament reassembled this afternoon, but ray of hope appeared with the announcement that the nationalists, at a meeting earlier in the day, had de- cided not to move an amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne. The text of the national ist resolution follows:
 Resolved, That having regard for the supreme importance of the consti- tutional struggle going on between the two houhes of parliament and being convinced that the primary business of thus parliament was to act on the mandate given in the general election, and proceed. forthwith, to limit the veto power now exercised by the house of lords over all progressive legisla- ton; the Irish party decides not to complicate that great issue by nov by balloting for bills and motions dur ing the present session.
 This decision was accepted generally John Redmond. the nationalist leader, had rendered judgment against the government, he and his followers had decided to suspend the execution of the sentence, and not to throw out the cabinet over the budget, while ab- staining from supporting the financial measure as they abstained in the last parliament. Home rule for Ireland is the stake for which the nationalists are playing, and they realize that it would cease to be live issue imme- diately upon the resignation or defeat of the government

DINNER AT WALDORF GRAND BALL ROOM
Large Gathering of Men Prominent in Municipal, Po- hcaI and Police Affairs-Presdent Warmly Praises Captain Flynn of the Secret Service for Good Work Done in Rounding Up Counterfeiters.

New York. Feb. 22.-President Taft came to New York today for the sec ond time within ten days. On Feb- ruary IF he came to honor the memory of Abraham Lincoln; this time as the ty-seventh president he came to honor the memory of the first, George Washington.
 Arrival at Jersey City.
 Arriving in Jersey City, the presi- dent was surrounded by a hollow square of policemen ana secret service men, which gave first impression that undue measures of protection were be- ing taken. That there was nothing in the air, aside from exaggerated Jersey City courtesy, was made plain, how ever, when the party reached Manhat- tan. Three mounted policemen led the automobile from the boat and galiop- ed in front of it. clearing the way to the home of the presidents brother, Henry W. Taft where the president was left alone with relatives until ban quet time.
 Magnificent Piece of Work.
 When at Jersey City President Taft espied Captain Flynn of the secret ser- vice he warmly shook hands with him and remarked:
 That was magnificent piece of work you and your men did, captain, in rounding up and sending to prison the Lupo gang of counterfeiters.
 He was referring to the conviction here last Saturday of eight Italian counterfeiters, also suspected of be- ing leaders of the Black Hand.
