Expectinu Too Much,

"a rather finicky old chap who was
travelling off the beaten paths struck a
somewhat shabby hotel. which was
principally used by workmen from a
nearby construction camp. He paid a
dollar in advance for room and break
fast, the clerk remarking caustically
that "a suit case isn't a guarantee
that the bill will be paid. especially
when guy has room on the second
floor" And just before midnight the
indignant Mr.. Smith piled down into
the hotel Office. almost dressed.
Whats the matterT' asked the
sleepy clerk shifting his pipe to the
other corner. Anything wrong?"
Wrong" gasped Mr. Smith. trem-
bling. Wrong! Confound your old
dump, anyhow! l saw a pair of rats
as big as hedgehogs fighting in the
middle Of my room"
Huh" said the clerk, closing his
eyes and preparing to return to sleep.
"What do you want for g. .dollar-a
ight?"-Herbert Corey in Cincin-

WHOLESOME WORDS
More Charity for Men Urged by
Van HiSe.

That passion, suspicion, impugning of
motives, imperfect knowledge, weak
understanding make men unable cor
rectly to judge one another, and that
the young man is likely to be harsh in
his judgments as to the ideas of others
and ready to believe that the motives of
those differing from him are bad-all of
which interferes with the highest use
fulness of men and women in the
affairs of life and calls for the exercis-
ing of more charity in Judging others,
was the substance of the commence
ment address by DR.. Charles Richard
Van Hise, president of the University
OF Wisconsin, speaking on Government
and Charity" at the 53th commence
ment exercises of the institution last
week.
lone must remember said Presi-
dent Van Hise, that among the same
people there is a wide variation of be-
liefs, methods and early training which
shape the child as is shaped the skull of
the Flathead Indian.
"Since of necessity ones ideas and
ideals are so largely function of his
environment, one needs to use the
widest knowledge and most sympathetic
appreciation in Judging of the action
and purposes of others.
For one who would go to a high
place there is nothing more neces
sary and nothing more difficult than
capacity to deal with his fellow men in
fair, reasonable and charitable way;
for this involves capacity to appreciate
his point of view. intolerance, pas
sion, prejudice, impugning of motives
should all be eliminated"
To credit a man with good motives is
long step towards Judging him with
charity, declares President Van Hise.
The very fact that man is met on q
high plane is a potent factor in his liv
ing up to that plane. 1t is indeed a
base man who, dealt with generously,
broadly, openly, fairly, takes advantage
of these qualities. 1t may be that some
times one will be betrayed because of
his confidence in his fellow men: but
his occasional sufferings because of this
are not likely to be nearly so serious as
they are if he starts in the hypothesis
that the men with whom he comes into
relation are untrustwOrthy.
In suggesting that other men shall
be credited with honesty, and their
views respected, there is no thought Of
intimating that one should not adhere
strongly to his own convictions but
that he should consider separately the
man and his ideas.
