THE OuIET EYE

THE QUIET EYE.
Ny neighbours pride are acres wide,
His flocks and herds abound,
While 1 myself have little peIf
And scarce a rood of ground.
But I can mark his stately park,
His lawns and pleaSaunce fair
His lusty beeves and golden sheaves.
All, are mine to share.
For up and down his burrows brown
Mine eye the plough can trail,
Can count each vain of mantling grain
That groans toward the flail,
For his and mine the shaggy kline,
Knee-deep among the reeds,
The good increase of snowy fleece
That flecks his en- raid meads.
Tho farm and field my neighbor yield
Their treasure for his own,
Tho he be lord of fen and ford,
With me he shares his throne.

and of angels and have not charity, l am
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.-I Corinthians XIII l.
These words of the Apostle Paul tic
the Corinthians describe the conditions
which prevail with every one who is
not charitably disposed toward his
neighbor, his friends, and even those
who may be strangers to him. This is
especially true when he finds occasion
to talk about them. A man may be as
wise as was Solomon but the application
of his wisdom will not avail much I'M
less he be blessed with an appreciation
of the great fact that he should DC
charitable in his interpretations of the
doings and sayings of others.
Most folk who give this matter any
thought at all will be sure to arrive
at the conclusion that there is alto
gether too little of this real and es-
sential charity in the world today; and
particularly on the part of those who
should have the most of it-those who
have had the advantages of good edu
cations and who have been favored be-
yond many of their brethren in their
share of this worlds goods. Many in
this class are much too prone to pick
out the failings, real but frequently
imagined, of others and condemn them
in more or less severe terms. They mis-
judge motives. They misinterpret acts.
They do not seem to realize the i'm
portant fact that every human bein;
is not so constituted as to look at the
same thing in the same light. They
think that no ones ideas and opinions
are worth anything unless they coin
eide with theirs. They use pint cup
with which to measure humanity.
when they ought to know that there is
no gauge large enough for that pur-
pose. About all their criticism and
fault-f finding accomplish is the stirring
up of turmoil and hard feelings among
the different members of society. This
results in it's division into classes be-
tween whom a hatred of greater or less
intensity is likely to spring up.
AS a matter of fact. there should be
a large nberality on the part of all
persons in their judgment of others
There should be a general disposition to
put the best possible construction on
the words and actions of every one a
good text for all individuals to keep in
mind in this connection is to be found
in those immortal words of Lincoln
which he delivered in his famous ad
dress at the dedication of the battle
field at Gettysburg: with malice tow
ard none: with charity for ALL"
Charity suffereth long and is kind
wrote Paul to the Corinthians. Char
ity envieth not; charity vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up; doth not be-
oav-a i+SeIf 11pSaepoIv SaeLxefb NOT her
own, is not easily provoketh, thinketh
10 evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
-ejoiceth in the truth; beareth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth all
.hings. Charity never faileth.''-
How desirable, therefore, should 1t
De for all men and women to be most |
,haritably disposed one toward the 9TH
sr. How much more peace and happi- |
ness would there be in this world If |
here wers more of this sort of thing.

KANSAS COMMENT

THE FRUIT IS AS SWEET AS EVER
we o1ten hear it remarked how
mucn better things were when Il was
boy" If you are to believe ali you
hear, the fruit tasted better the cook
ing was much superior. vice was
! thing most rare, boys and girls were
SO much more helpful and consfde craze
and in every way the world was a
much better place to live in. Don
you believe it. The trouble with the
crltlcs is that they fail to realize that
with advancing years has come n
change In taste and that things at
long range look vastly different from
what they are when viewed under a
microscope. The fruit is Just as sweet
as it ever was, but safety has de-
stroyed the pleasure enjoyed in ear
ing IL; the wife of today is a better
cook than mother was. for she has a
knowledge and mechanical HELMS I'M
known in the days of long ago: vice
is as old as the world and there is no
PROOF Whatever that it is on the in
crease, and as for the boys and girls
well they are just boys and gin Is
today as We were a half century ago
and when we find faults in them we
are forgetting how often we wero
claSsed as little devils" in those
other days. The trouble is not in the
world-it is in the critics They are
not to be blamed for growing old
they cannot help that-but they should
avoid becoming soured in their matur-
ity and in nursing crouch when the
world begs for a smile.-Marysvill
Advocate Democrat.
THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW.
Under the old school of politics.
there was a state convention where
the party platform was adopted by
over 1000 chosen representatives Of
the people, but under the new sys-
tenn where the people rule" the
party platform is written and adopted
by a committee of three hundred, two
thirds of whom are candidates for
Office, and at the late committee
meeting only 147 of the 500 were pres
ent. But according to the logic of the
Bull Moose, when these 147 candidates
meet it is the people, but when the
1000 delegates used to meet it was the
corporations hat controlled.-Sto"k-
ton Review.

The Old Fashioned Campaign.
There used to be fun in the olden days
When they had the real live campaign:
when the boys wore the oil cloth uni
And marched in the pouring rain.
When they carried the torches and gay
flambeaux
And moved in mighty line;
When the red fire burned for miles and
miles
Down town when the nights were fine.
They marched in true military style {
As though they were bound for war.
And nine out of ten didn't really know
just what they were marching for
They wore all the trappings of curassiers
With plumes in their bright tin hats
one night they would march as Repub-
HcanS
And the next night as Democrats.
The old brass band and thehfe and drum
Made noise by night and day.
And the wives and sWeethearts stood m
the curb
To caeer them upon their way.
The torches dripped plenty of kerosene
And clothing went up flame.
But nobody faltered or seemed to care
For that was all in the game.
They, scrambled for seats in the old town
When torches had all been stacked.
There wasn't night through the whole
campaign
But what the old place was packed.
The speaker would wave the old stars and
AS it was never waved before
The crowd would whistle and stamp am
yell
And the country was saved once more.
1 ne torches are gone, to be seen no more.
The uniforms are passe,
Inc candidates use only adjectives
And wage forensic fray
alas and alack for the good old times;
For the dizzy flambeau campaign
That has gone with the garbage of his
tory
And will never return again.
