took very much to heart any crti-

The Only Way
To Help People.

When wealth was only obtainable
by robbery, this view of things had
a certain basis in fact. But wealth
obtained by rendering a service to
humanity is a thing of which to be
~justly proud.
The parable of Dives and Laz-
arus has gotten a firm grip on the
imagination, Lazarus in heaven
and Dives in hell is a particularly
pleasing proposition for the great
family of Lazarus.
The only way to help people is to
give them a chance to help them
selves. That is all any one should
ask for-opportunity. Giving to the
poor is lending to the devil. Money
earned means manhood Money
gained by an appeal to sympathy is
tainted. and 1t stains the soul Of
him who gets It,
Now, when things are coming
around to where most everybody
owns a home who really wants to,
we are getting a new focus
Italy and Spain are the homes Of
beggardom. But now Spain penal
ICES beggary and Italy is introduc
ing the Montesorri system of edu-
cation. which means eventually
earning your living, not merely Sc
curing it,
The church has always cast
mantle of sympathy around the
sick. the lame, the decrepit, the un-
fit and the poverty stricken.
Scientific sociology, with its
high power lens, shows us in the
distance an ideal world Poverty
will be done away with. disease
eliminated. crime abolished.

THE VIEWPOINT OF AGE

with Sally Smith instead OF you?
What could move you that way
now? Nothing
You have learned that if it rains
today the sun will be shining to-
morrow, and that picnics are messy
affairs anyway If you didn't carry
off the first prize, you got the con-
ISOLATION one. and you've lived to
see the day that you thank your
heavenly stars that you missed
Johnnie Jones and got Tommy
Smith. and so nothing fills you with
despair because you have realized
that the law of compensation never
fails. Age, that takes the keenest
edge off our enjoyment, also dulls
our capacity for suffering. 1t dries
up figuratively, as we'll as literally,
the springs of our tears
The Real Optimist.
Youth is likewise the time of pes
simism as regards the world be-
cause youth is the time of intoler-
ance, Of impatience, of merciless
hard judgment. Every young man
thinks that the country win go to
the dogs if his political candidate
is not elected, and that anarchy
win ensue if the theory he advo-
Gates is not enforced He believes
that everybody who does not agree
with him is a thief liar, and an
assassin, and that every sinner
should be brought forthwith to jus
tice and he is filed with gloomy
forebodings when he contemplates
the future
1t is the old man who is optimis-
tic because he has seen 80 many
dark prophecies unfuhlled; he has
seen the world so on in its old
accustomed way after so many pre-
dictions that the end was about to
occur he has seen the deluge peter
out SO often in q mild and benefi-
cent shower. Experience has also
taught him that youth is wrong in
thinking everything black and
white because il is mostly shaded
down into gray with SO much more
good in the bad than we believe.
and so much more bad in the good
than we expected.
Age is the time Of optimism be-
cause We have learned to trust life.
and to realize that. as the homely
old phrase puts il. there is no use
in worrying because the things we
worry about in advance never
happen and most of our troubles
are about things that never trouble
us. We have seen changes that we
dreaded make our greatest happi-
ness and disappointments turn into
choicest blessings. and so we learn

The Old Orchard
By MINNA IRVING.

hH, know an ancient orchard
Where the trees are all in bloom
You will find it if you follow
Bee and butterfly and swallow
And the watts of rich perfume.
There the robin builds his dwelling
On pink and dewy spray;
When the wicket clicks behind Won
Care and pain can never find YOU
For the world is shut away.
Gray the broken fence around it
painted by the suns and rains.
But the hand of Time embosses
With the green of velvet moses
Every picket that remains.
Overhead the apple blossoms
Spread tent of rosy snow.
Marking off the golden minutes
For the thrushes and the hnnets
With the fakes that fall below.
"Tis the orchard of our childhood
Where all day we used TO swing
When the winds were sweet as honey
And the hours long and sunny
In the bridal bowers of Spring

Self-sacrifice, abnegation, affect
ed humility are all more or less
forms of hypocrisy Indiscriminate
giving pauperi2es Enlightened self
interest gives freedom.
We have lived in two worlds at
time. The earth has been for
saken in order that we might gain
the good will of the skies. AS Alb
dul Bana says. Man must be con-
ciliated to man-not God to man."
God loves men who love each 9TH
er simply because no other kind
are lovable.
Begging is a bad business The
more the beggar succeeds the worse
off he is. Beggars breed beggars.
and thus make beggardom perpet-
ual. Spain is right begging must
be made disgraceful.
1t would be almost unkind and
indelicate to call attention to the
fact that this was one of the chief
planks in the platform of Francisco
Ferrer The modern schools"
taught that beggary should be abol-
ished
Ferrer was destroyed because he
expressed himself in undipIomatic
language, and was ahead of his
time. But by his death and through
his death he convinced Spain that
he was 81 per cent right.
And so now, behold Spain, as if
to make amends-for you can't
bring back the dead-is now en-
couraging the modern school and
inaugurating many of the Ferrer
ideas

Atlanta Georgian., 1912-08-01

a \ interviewer asked Thomas
~ Hardy the other day why he
was so pessimistic, and the
great novelist replied
The cruelty of fate becomes ap-
parent as people grow older. At
first one may, perhaps, escape com
ing in contact with it, but after
living long enough one realizes that
happiness is very ephemeral"
Mr. Hardy is a very great genius,
but a very morbid and melancholy
one, and. it seems to me, he does
not see life from quite the angle
that we ordinary, common place
folk do. in his novels there is new
er anything but great clots Of
gloom. and misfortunes follow fast
upon the heels of his heroes and
heroines, while for most real peo-
pie there is as much JOY as sorrow
as much feasting as starving
Certainly. to the normal individ-
ual with the average experiences of
existence. age does not necessarily
bring pessimism The lesson that
the years teach us Is not despair
but confidence and the proof Of
this is TO be found in the fact that
old people are nearly always calm
~ cheerful and untroubled.
Youth Is the time OF optimism

Another Fears Death.

Denver. May 21.-Oscar Cook, muir
derer, condemned to die in November,
rose from his cot in the county jail at
midnight and hoarseIy called to his
guard:
"Has that preacher Richeson been
electrocuted yet? I can't sleep think
ing of him.
Through the night, as the guard
tramped the corridor, the condemned
man clung to the bars of his cell.
"Can't you telephone the newspa-
oers and find out if he died like man
or cur? See if he had to be carried, :"
he asked. SIS it easier than to be
hanged? Do you think there is any
chance of the state putting in a chair
before Noyember?'
Cook refused to return to bed, de-
claring that horrible visions filled his
dreams.
