The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1911-10-12

ONE often hears the remark that
appearances must be kept up at
any COST" and it is sad fact that a
multitude of people believe in it.
Whole lives, that might otherwise
be put to good use, are spent in a
vain effort to cover real or supposed
defects in body, mind and character.
and also to keep the truth concern
ing their financial standings from
being known. If those people who
seek to hide their failings and mis-
fortunes would cast appearances to
the wind and dig in and hammer
and hew away at something useful
with the same vigorous and pains
taking labor and thought they ex-
pend in their efforts to keep up APP
pearances," they would soon gain
the standing they striveA for, and
their pedestal would be solid and
enduring, for it would rest on truth,
and not hypocricy.
How often we read of poor unfor-
Inmates, who, after having kept up
appearances for months and years,
have suddenly been confronted with
fate in the form of Naked Truth.
OF course Truth triumphs and the
poor unfortunates crawl from the
scrimmage to suffer the scorn and
ridicule of their fellows.
How many bright and promising
lives have been ruined because
Truth was sacrificed for appear
ances! How many people have fool
ishly risked their happiness. their
personal liberty. their all in the fu-
tile cause of make belief and hypo-
cricy, and when the reckoning
came, as it always does, how many
of them have, and are now suffer
ing for their folly in prisons, asy-
lums, and such places, and how
many. who were too cowardly to
meet their fate, now rot in suicide
graves!

You are one Of those good natured

THE KEARSARGE.

In the gloomy ocean bed
Dwelt formless thing, and said,
In the dim and countless cons long ago,
II will build stronghold high,
Oceans power to defy,
And the pride of naughty man to lay low
Crept the minutes for the sad,
Sped the cycles for the glad,
But the march of time was neither less nor
more;
While the form1ess atom died,
Myriad millions by its side
And above them slowly lifted Roncador.
Roncador of Caribee,
Coral dragon of the sea,
Ever sleeping with his teeth below the wave;
Woe to him who breaks the sleep!
Woe to them who sail the deep!
Woe to ship and man that fear shipmans
grave!
Hither many ga1leon old,
Heavy-keeled with guilty gold,
Fled before the hardy rover shifting sore;
But the sleeper silent lay
Till the preyer and his prey
Brought their plumber and their bones to
Roncador.
Be content, o conqueror!
Now our bravest ship of war,
War and tempest who had often brayed
before,
All her STORED prowess past,
Strikes her glorious flag at last
To the formless thing that bui1ded Ronca-
dor.

That Solomon Brown, the eldest
son by the second marriage of John
Brown the famous Aboiitionist will
reach his three-quarter milestone
during this month. He is in the very
best of health, and has the distinc-
ton of being the best gardener and
truck-farmer in the state Of Oregon.
He hasa beautiful home in Portland.
That it takes hundred men to
make an encampment, but it takes
only the influence Of one woman to
make home. / not only admire
women as the most beautiful objects
every created, but reverence her as
the redeemed glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all virtues, the pledge
of all perfect qualities of heart and
head. II is because women are so
much better than men that their
faults are consided greater. The one
thing in the world that is constant,
the only peak that rises above the
clouds, the one window in which the
lights burn, forever. the one star
that darkness cannot quench, is wo-
mans love. 1t rises to the greatest
heights, it sinks to the lowest depths,
It forgives the most cruel injuries.
A woman's love is the purfume of
the heart and is kin to the love of
God for His children This is the.
real woman's love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles Of art: that gives music all
the way from the cradle song to the
grand closing symphony that bears
the soul on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweeter
and stronger than DEATH"

The present unrest in Spain would
indicate that the Iberian peninsula
is on the verge of mighty upheav-
al. 1t would be downright shame
if Alfonso were to suffer the same
fate as King Manuel. He is most
admirable fellow, and has done more
for the betterment Of his people
than all of his predecessors put to-
gether.

state FaIr.

The State Fair Association, father ed and fostered by the Business Mems League, has passed through a series of trials from which it has emerged triumphant. Our united citi- zenship ever in the vanguard of pro gress, have again manifested that spirit which overcomes all difficult ties.
 With the new blood infused into the organization, added to the undi- vided and enthusiastic support ac- corded by the community, greater and better fair is positively assured. An invitation was extended the great insurgent leader of Mexico, Francisco Madero. which owing to the general election being held at that time, he was unable to accept.
 Notables.
 Among the notables who visited our city during the past year, were the Imperial German Commissioner oi Agriculture, MT. Norman E.. Mack, chairman of the National Democratic committee, Mayor Shank of Indanapo- lis and many others, all of whom in the hospitality extend- ed by the Business Mems League.

Conclusion

The final and eliminating point of this report is reached with marked degree of pride.
 Pride in the unparalleled and spon- taneous exhibition of unified effort witnessed the past week in raising the sum of nearly s60,000 for a west ern railroad outlet, thereby realizing the dream of years, and eliciting the admiration and respect of the entire state. We have been making history rapidly of late, and have erected monument to the energy, confidence and generosity of our citizens that will be lasting. Our splendid organi- zation Is now recognized as domi- nant factor in everything that makes for the general welfare and progress of this community. It is, ever alert to plan and put into execution any pro ject that spells increased prosperity. It's members ever ready to leave bank, office, and store, and with an unselfishness that calls for the high est praise, devote their time and en- ergy in the work for the general good. Turn in any direction you may, nothing but success and pro gress eonfronts you, condition which is largely due to the splendid service rendered by our retiring president whose efforts have been untiring. and to whose magnificent leadership we are so much indebted.

In the home all that is characteris-
tically feminine in woman unfolds and
fourishes. Home without woman is a
misnomer, for woman makes home, and
home is what she makes it. If she
is illiterate, her home partakes of
this quality; if she is immoral, her
home cannot be the abode of virtue; il
she is coarse, refinement does not dwell
where she resides. If she is cultivat-
ed, pure, refined, those qualities will
characterize the home which she Gre
ates. The higher the degree of her
culture, her purity, her refinement,
the more will these qualities charac-
tcrize the home of which she is the
center.

What it shall be we do not know.

How it shall come we cannot tell.
Whether it shall come as the old

be just as easy for this world to end as
it was for it to begin; and there is
much greater reason for the ending
than there is for the beginning. The
inequality of this world must be some

times triumphant, insolent power occa-

virtue misjudged and misunderstood.

Have bright bouquet of flowers in
each room of your home to cheer and
brighten it and its inmates.

The days come to us like friends in
disguise, bringing priceless gifts from
an unseen hand; but if we do not use
them, they are silently borne away,
never to return. Each successive
morning new gifts are brought but if
we failed to accept those that were
brought yesterday and the day before,
we become less and less able to turn
them to account, until the ability to
appreciate and utilize them is exhaust
ed. Wisely was it said that lost wealth
may be reganed by industry, economy;
lost knowledge by study, lost health by
temperance and medicine, but lost time
is gone forever.
