EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

ooh you just wait" said the author
mans wife tartly, you just wait UNI
til they have been married six years,
instead of six months and see if he IS
so anxious to make sacrifices for her
then"
Perhaps he won't be- said the lady
who always -knows-somehow, land then
then again perhaps he will. I think it
depends on her quite as much as on
him. And think that if she shows her
gratitude and delight as sweetly as she
does now, he will take pleasure in max
ing sacrifices for her after they've been
married six years-or sixty if they live
that long,
We had been talking of a young mar
ried couple and of a generous sacrifice
which the husband had made for his
wife. We had the pleasure of Witness
ing both the sacrifice and the gratitude
which rewarded it. And not only had
the wife received the gift he brought
her with an enthusiasm and a chi1dlike
delight which must have warmed any
heart that had the pleasure of arous-
ing it, but she had also remembered to
return to the subject again and to tell
several visitors about the gift in his
presence. And each time that she did
this we could almost see a glow of sat
isfaction and happiness spread over
her husbands face.
Don't you imagine that man was well
repaid for the sarifice he made?
And don't you think that, spurred on
by that rich reward, he is pretty likely
to keep on making sacrifices?

After all, I've come to the conclusion
that you really get the most happiness
in life out of doing things for others"
that is the conclusion which one of
the finest young men I ever knew
reached before he was thirty. And
mind you, he was not in any sense
goody-goody. He was an everyday man
OF the world who had tasted all the de-
lights of social and business success
and knew just how much happiness the
ordinary pleasures of life could give.
Now 1 happen to know that this man
was thinking of the happiness which

glow of triumph and self approval

"WHY 1 AM FOR TAFT

All honest and fair-minded Ameri-
cans, irrespective of political bias,
recognize and respect President Taft's
integrity of purpose, writes John
Hays Hammond in the October num-
Der of the North American Review.
A remarkable mental poise, a rare
judicial temperament lies at the
foundation of his character, and this
fact was appreciated by the Ameri-
can people long before he was called
to the chief magistracy. To these
characteristics may be added other
dominating traits. e., inflexibility
of purpose, neutrality-suspicious. in
doing things, and absolute frankness
in public and private expressions. In
this respect, what contrast he pre-
sents to the nominee of the Bull
Moose party! To these qualities those
who know him well would add entire
subordination of personal interests
and motives and, no less the subor-
dination of craftsmanship to the gen
eral welfare of the nation Then he
has in a conspicuous degree the cour-
age of his convictions, a great and
abiding optimism, and charity to-
ward men only to be matched in the
character of the immortal Lincoln. To
the qualities I have named, all under
the discipline of the remarkable
! e4uanimity to which 1 have referred,
he combines a sincere geniality and
charm of manner that wins ad-
miration and friendship even from
those who may be called his political
enemies.
President Tafts inflexible honesty,
his unfailing judgment, his knowledge
of things military. his industry in es-
sential routine, his patience, his firm
mss, his unfailing courtesy, his COM
manding personality would have quail

The Reason.
BY ROY K. MOULTON.


1 love to board the trolley car
And ride, 1t matters not how far,
Upon a fine and breezy seat
1 can defy the sultry heat.
I like the happy pickup crowd,
The warning bells that cIang so loud
And when along the rails we zip
1t makes a fine and dandy trip.
l don't believe that I would care
To do my riding in the air
Like Beachey does or Orville Wright.
1 like to know where 1 will light.
I don't call autoing much fun;
1 almost never ride in one.
And carriage riding pals on me.
It's tame so far as I can see.
Somehow or other I don't like
To go out riding on bike
And motor boating to my mind
Is riding of a tedious kind.
OF course maybe some folk will think
That my idea is the blink,
But I will tell the reason why
The street car ride I'm swearing by,
A simple hint will quite suffice,
1t is a matter of the price
The trolley way is, woe betide,
The only way that I CAN ride.

KANSAS COAMENT
AIR VESSELS AND WAR.

The Hutchinson News has been
looking the matter up and it finds
that if the men who fly aeroplanes
are able to end war by these flights
they will be doing a good thing for
the world. If they obliterate contro-
versy by taking it to peaceful coun-
ellis for settlement, instead of by
force, then the aviators of the world
will have won a reward. 1t won't be
much use for one country to go to
war with the other now, if the other
is an adept in the use of aeroplanes
and explosives. 1t has been proven
that a biplane can carry enough dyna-
mite or other explosive to blow
large sized community to kingdom
come. And it may also be done with
neatness and dispatch, despite war
ships and heavily fortified places. If
war provokes the use of the air YES
sci for just such purposes, 1t VIII be
well for the country attacked to have
a protocol prepared in advance and
arrangements made for some friend
ly nation to interfere, for the very
terror of it will make for peace. No
city now marked up on the map will
want to have its citizens blown sky
high by package OF guncotton
dropped from a monoplane, so the
first round of an air battery would
be the hint to wave the white flag
and propose a convention where peace
as the subject would have the right
OF way. n Lu1iy eQuAppCu dlI VESSEL
as they are made these days. after a
few minutes in action, could make an
old fashioned war, with swords and
pistols and zed tape look like sham
battle The aeroplane would be
dropping dynamite on the head of
soldier and citizen alike, and protec-
ton wouldn't be worth much that
would come from land batteries and
cordons of troops. The aeroplanes
may make war so dangerous a thing
and so costly that peace will have to
come as a consequence. If it does
then the air vessel is TO get pages in
history alongside the dove Of peace.
