Who Are "They? ?"
BY a Special Correspondent

We all have a way of saying they
say" this or that of some person or
some thing and accepting it our
selves as authentic whom someone
says "they say to us.
| But we stopped to inquire, into
| the exact source of the information,
either we would be unable to trace 1t
| back to anyone other than elusive In
| dividuals. "TI ey Say" or we will
find back of it the unkind gossip of
some enemy.
And Just because they say fails
to put the blame of a falsehood on
any one persons shoulders it really
is the most dangerous of statements
and one of the hardest to refute.
So let us beware of believing they
say stories. Let us treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words they
say" Or if this gossip makes us sus-
al and human that it should at times
al and huma nthat it should at times
let us suspend judgment until we
KNOW In other words, let us do the
object of they say the justice to
investigate until we find someone
who is in a position from actual
knowledge and whom we can trust to
make a positive statement over his
own name as to the truth or falsity
of the they say story.
The writer has been led to pen
this little lesson in practical fairness
by reading little book issued by the
Coco-Cola Company of Atlanta, Ga,
entitled THE Truth About Coco-Co-
la" That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for so long been
| the subject of "they say" stories In
| which all manner of untrue and det-
rimental things about Coca-Cola
have been circulated that the manu-
facturers have been forced to issue
their book giving authentic inform a
ton about this beverage. And the in
formation therein contained does not
rest its case on any they say" state
nents, but bases its arguments on
analysis and statements of chemists
| and scientists occupying the highest
positions in America.
This is the most interesting book
"a fine study in dignity in refutinf
| lsehoods-and book Of informa
ton that all should read. You Will
find it we'll worth your while tt

Dany, Atlanta, Ga. to send you

The year book of the federal de-
partment of agriculture lays special
stress on the farmer keeping ac-
count with each farm product IN or
der to know from which the gain or
loss arises. No merchant or banker
would attempt to run his business
without keeping books, and farming
is about the only one that is not
business of record. 1t is as import
ant that the farmer know his pay
ing crops as it is that the merchan
know his paying customers, and non
paying crops will ruin the farmer al
quickly as non-paying customers VII
destroy the merchant.

"Churchman" contributes the follow
ing to the Bloomington Paragraph:
a book of Is chapters of opinions as
to why the churches are deserted, and
as to how they may be filled has just
come from the press. To quote a few
lines from this book, "the sum of the
whole matter seems to be that if the
higher classes are to be emancipated
from the baneful influence of the
thousand and one distractions of mod
ern life, including clubs and automo-
biles, if religion is to become a promi-
nent and paramount factor in their
lives, then the christian pulpit must
be made far more powerful than it
is, ETC." The reading of this book has
suggested the following article, based
on an editorial, written by the late
Dr. J. G. Holland, on Sunday Bummers.
The poor we have always with US,
and whenever we will we may do them
good. And the will to do them good,
in a spiritual and religious sense, at
least is very genuine and very abound
ing The churches as a rule cherish
no desire more sincere than that of
preaching the gospel to the poor, with
out money and without price. We do
not stop to inquire how much of the
PROSECUTING spirit may be connected
with this desire or what worthless mo-
tives may sophisicate it. Their wish
to do good to the poor is genuine
enough, and TO do it at their own ex-
pense. If the poor could know how
heartily they would be welcome in the
houses of worship frequented mainly
by the rich and the well-to-dO, they
would certainly lose their shyness and
learn a kindlier feeling for those more
fortunate than themselves 1t is I'M
doubtedly the business of the rich 10
provide religious privileges for the poor
and the duty OF the poor to accept
them. They may do this without loss
Of self respect and without the Guilt
walton of the pauper spirit.
There is however, real difference
between Gods poor" and mans poor.
There are great multitudes who do
what they will and what they can,
must always be poor. Few and ineffi
cient hands to labor and many mouths
to feed, sickness, misfortune-all
causes of adversity-produce poverty
which seem TO be remediless; and those
who are afflicted with such poverty
may legitimately be called Gods
poor" These are the Involuntary poor,
enveloped and embarrassed by circum-
sances which render it impossible for
them to rise out of poverty. For these
the christian man will do what he eau
without pauperizing them, and he
knows there is no form of beneficence
so little likely TO do them harm as

right to privileges that he does not
pay for, in or out of the church, and
the man who becomes willing to avail
himself OF the generosity of others in
order that he may spend more upon
his artificial wants. becomes a pauper
at heart and thief in fact.
The great majority of Sunday bum
mers ought TO be ashamed of them
selves, for even their church going very
often grows out of their love of re
spectability and Of the usages of re-
spectacle society. But the young, and
particularly young men, should be
warned against the practice. We do
not think il often happens that the oc-
cupant Of a genuine home steals his
preaching. A man without home is
pretty poor member OF society as
rule. II is not apt to occur TO him thai
he has any stake or any duty in So

IN A BALLROOM.

Behind the tall pillars, half hiding,
He heard the soft strains of tie
strings,
And he looked at the gay dancers giiG-
ing
AS if they found joy In such things :;
But he felt no delight in the measures,
And he wondered how others could
care
To indulge in such profitless pleasures
Or deem this gala affair.
He heard the soft strains and the
laughter,
But his fancies went winging away,
And he thought of a dismal hereafter
That might have been golden and
gay;
He saw in red cheeks and glad glances
The love that may turn to despair
"Ah, fools and their foolish romano
esi"
He was sad with a desolate air.
He longed for untroubled seclusion
And. watching the gay dancers
thought
OF love as a foolish delusion
With sorrow and suffering fraught;
He scoffed at the maidens for flirting
And wondered how men could still
care
For the shoes he was wearing were
hurting
And he couldn't be barefooted there
