dangers" to humanity.
Most of us have waded through
reams of "colored supplements" to
the Northern papers, and have
thrilled over the horrors of (pos-
slble) exterminators of humanity at
large by reason of fire, flood, insan-
lty, consumption, pellagra, war, pes
thence or famine
Usually the articles are illus
trated, and, if one is sympathetic
and sensitive by nature, one has
bad night, following the perusal of
such literature.
More recently a new danger" has
been held up for ones scrutiny, and
1t is known variously as the dang
erous age" in man, woman and
child
Such dreary drivel some of us
have to read, and when one has
only partly digested the horrors of
some Of the putrid facts set forth
IN type, it's good to get out into the
open, fill ones lungs with Gods
clean air, ones eyes with His handi-
work, and ones mind with His wis
dom.
life is when they make a fetch. an
idol, Of their own ambitions; when
everything and everyone is made sub
servlent to them, and when self has
effaced all thought and feeling
for others, or for the consequences
Of their acts.
We have reached the dangerous
age as a peole-so many Of our
strong ones have become drunken
with power; the wealthy ones try for
more wealth, the powerful ones for
more power.
Those Of US living in small COM
munities see as much Of this spirit of
the age, as those who live in the
turmoil and hustle of the larger
town
Mans inhunanity to man:
woman's cruelty to woman; the
ingratitude Of the child for the
parent-these we see daily, and
how little we do for the lettering or
the changing
young, ignorant, wilful girls, who
are blind and deaf to all that has
befallen others.
The scandalous tongues of women,
who carry back and forth the title
tattle and small talk which ulti-
mately leads to the open scandal
that nothing can bridge nor heal.
The offensive measures men use
towards others less fortunate, the
daily examples Of the shylocks
demanding their pound of flesh, and
no Portia to intervene to save the
drop of blood.
And yet-there is so much of
beauty and joy, to be had with so
little effort. If all could only know
the joy Of digging and delving, of
getting in touch again with Gods
original plan for man and woman.
The artifciality of the age is the
most appalling thing about us.
Can you imagine our grand-moth-
ers drawing the curtains of their
homes on brilliant, sun-shiny day,
shading their lamps and candles with
rose-colored shades to give "the
effect SO greatly to be desired, from
an artistic standpoint?
This is perhaps, a crude illustra-
ton, but it is indictive of the artif-
cality of the age; the women "dress
up" to the tone of the shaded lights,
and their costumes, their complex
ions are, in the clean, bright sun,
garish and unnatural.
And these women are living at
their most dangerous age. The

TABLE DELICACY OF GERMANY
Westphalian Ham IL Given its PIquant
Taste by the Use Of Juniper
Berries.

Wherever a German table dellcacy
Is in demand, there is the westphal.
Ian ham to be found. It is given its
peculiar piquant taste by the use Of
juniper berries in smoking the meat
The Juniper shrub is indigenous to
northwestern Germany and so plenti-
ful. especially In Westphalia, that to
It's presence is due the growth, during
the past several centuries, OF two
principal Industries of this German
province, the dlstilIation Of gin and
the preparation Of hams. After weeks
OF preparation the hams are ready to
be smoked. The smoke houses con-
sist sometimes Of two, and sometimes
OF three stories, the IRE being klndled
In the lowest and the meat hung in
the second and third, to which the
smoke ascends through holes In the
flooring. Westphalian hams are in
variably smoked over bright FIRE
made Of beech-wood only, except that
juniper twigs and berries are constant
iy thrown on the Are. Beech.wood
sawdust is strewn over the FIRE in
case Il becomes too strong. The
smoking process requires on an aver.
age about eight days.

tO0SEvELr'S RESEMBLANCE
TO LINCOLN

"The fight is on. Get off the
fence. Be man or a moose"
With this exhortation former
Congressman j. Adam Bede of
Minnesota heloed to open the
republican fight in New Mexico in
the wake of Theodore Roosevelt's
tour. With John Maynard Harlan
of Chicago, the other truth
teller" who is trailing the colonel,
he addressed a most enthusiastic
audience.
Bede denounced the "cowards"
who are afraid to get into the fight
and told his hearers that with the
Roosevelt sentiment waning
throughout the west the Taft forces
were marching on to victory.
Then he ridiculed Roosevelt's
comparisons of himself with
Lincoln. ..
Mr.. Harlan picked 10 pieces the
Roosevelt pretensions," and his
hearers applauded vigorously.
'This close resemblance" seid
Bede. between Colonel Roosevelt
and Abraham Lincoln was not
noticed till the colonel discovered
it along with the Ten Command
m"nts. Then it was recalled that
he scolded General Miles in public,
making disgraceful scene at the
White House, which was so much
like the thoughtful and considerable
Lincoln.

Vermont died, with whom Roose.

frightening the animal and almost
throwing the girl to the ground
Lincoln always had just such ,
lordly Crouch as that!
"The closest resemblance, how
ever. was shown when Mr.. Roope
welt. while president. in an article
published everywhere over his owr
signature, charged corruption up
on General Tyner. who was post
master general under Grant, but al
this time was a subordinate in the
postotfice department. At the
presidents behest he was indicted
in the District of Columbia. The
trial dragged along two or three
weeks, and frequently saw him,
feeble and more than 80 years OF
age, in an invalid chair. wheeling
himself into the court room. But
be was acquitted and as free man
went to his home to die.
From his deathbed he wrote q
last appeal to the president to with
draw what he had said and let him
die without a stain on his name or
a disgrace on his family But
Roosevelt let him die without an
answer. and the letter is still un.
answered. That is just like
Lincoln, of whom it might truth
fully be said he came to preach the
gospel to the poor and to heal the
broken hearted.
Roosevelt says he desires to
answer all questions" declared
Harlan. But that is just another
bit of his posing. Time and again
| have asked him and others have
asked him whether he could recon-
cile his multitude of uumeritorious
and fraudulent contests for delegate
seats in the republican convention
with the square deal about which
he PIRATES so constantly.
Instead of anwering The ques-
tion he lodges and cries stop thief,
and he expects by the mere noise
of his cry to divert our attention
from his attempt to steal delegate
seats which he knew belonged to
Mr.. Taft.

explain about George W.sPerkins,

friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt. one OF them.
Mr.. Stimson, OF long standing. But what
does that signify in a matter of political
leadership and public policies? 1t is often
the case that the warmest personal
friends arc opposed to each other poiiti-
caliy. Brothers even are found In oppo-
site camps. II the Baltimore convention
were to nominate Gov. Foss Of Massa-
chusetts for President should we see
Representative Foss Of Illinois support
him, or take to the woods? The demo-
cratic brother would expect no such
course on the part Of the republican
brother. Not kinship. but political princi-
pies. would be the issue. and 1t would be
the duty Of the Illinois Foss to oppose
the Massachusetts Foss and doubtless
that duty would be discharged.
1t Is also to be remembered that when
Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Stimson were CO.
operating with Mr.. Roosevelt in the
field OF politics the latter's republcanism
was not In question. He was not then
an advocate of the initiative and referen-
dunn and the recall.
Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Stimson in declaring
loyalty to Mr.. Taft declare loyalty to
themselves Scuttle is out Of the ques-
ton. They are honored and useful men,
bers of an administration which Mr..
Roosevelt would have the republican
party repudiate. Should they kiss the
hand that is shifting them?
