Christian Duty.

And what doth the Lord require Of
thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with they
Go?"-Micah SIS.
DO justly" l am to pay reverent
and scrupulous regard to common
rights My outlook is always to include
my neighbor and what is due to him.
l am never to tamper with the scales
20 my own Profit. l I'M to have no I'M
Just weights in any of my relation
ships. And this covers every kind of
commerce, even the commerce of
words. There is to be no false en-
phasis in my speech, no exaggeration,
and no short weight. Every word is
to have its own true weight, for by
thy words thou shalt be justified, and
by thy words thou shalt be condemn
ed"
Love mercy" The scales may be
weighed in fairness to my brother. l
must give him good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, running over"
l must deal not only in justice but in
mercy. Nay, mercy is the finest and
most finished justice. Mercy is the
most intimate kinsman Of truth. And
when we love mercy" we are in the
home Of truth.
Walk humbly with they God" In
this companionship all graces will be
born. No pride can live in this fellow
ship, no meanness, no hardness, no in
justice. If l keep neal God l can never
be alien to my brother. When l abide
in the Lord my soul will be "as a

Mr.. DOLBY IMPOSED ON
WHY HE BROKE A SELFISH RES.
OLUTION.
Had Resolved to Play Part Of Hog
on a Crowded Street Car, Until
Woman With Borrowed Baby
Appeared.

Dolby likes babies. That is why he
gave his seat to the g~oodlookinS
young woman In the triangular
brown hat. She carried a baby. II she
had not been so incumbered she would
have been condemned to straprhang-
ing, SO far as Dolby was concerned,
for he vowed at the beginning Of
the trip that he was going to play the
hog.
I'm dead tired" he said to Mr..
Bowler. Thank heaven, I've found a
seat. l am going to stick to it, too.
Nothing short Of an accident or a wo-
man with a baby can rout me out till
l get home.
Bowler said "Humph," as did sew
eral other passengers who overheard
Dolby's selfish resolution. The young
woman in the brown hat stood within
hearing distance as Dolby thus de-
clared himself, but she did not say
'Humph." She merely thought IL.
Presently she edged down the car IN
til she stood directly in front Of Dol
by. About that time the baby began
to show off. He kicked at Dolby's
hat, first with the left foot and then
with the right, and then with both
feet simultaneously, and said, 10000
co." very plaintively.
Dolby looked up and met the baby's
eye. The youngsters gaze embar-
raised his somewhat, so he allowed
his eyes to travel a little higher. That
time he encountered an appealing
glance from the young woman Dolby
became still more embarrassed; he
sat still a few seconds longer.
Madam" he said, will you have
this seat?"
Thank you" sighed the young wo-
man. You are very kind"
1t really was not worth while to tell
Dolby that. He already had an exag-
gerated notion of his own magnani-
nifty, SO, to even things up, he retired
to the back platform and picked a
quarrel with the conductor. When he
got tired Of that he stepped inside the

saulted the rim Of his hat a few min
utes before.
100000" coed the baby.
Hello" said Dolby. Aren't you
the kid that took liberties with my
headgear a little while ago? How
did you get down to this end OF the
carr"
The baby's reply was not exactly in
telligible, so his mother supplemented
it with a more lucid explanation.
he belongs here" she said. The
lady SEN him back. She just Dor
rowed him for a few minutes"
With one quick glance Dolby re-
treated to the platform, and there he
stayed.

HIoh Price for stralohtness.

One of the most difficult problems In
practical mechanics is to make a
straight edge. How difficult it is may
be judged from IN incident that &C.
CURED in the shop of a celebrated as
Economical instrument maker.
A patron asked what would be the
price of "a perfect straight edge of
glass Sc inches long"
TT cannot be made perfect" said
the instrument maker; "but it could
probably be made with a limit of error
amounting to only a fraction of a
wave length of light"
How much would that COST"
About forty thousand dollars"
1t turned out that the customer
wanted the straight edge for a scraper
and that an error of one s%ixty-fourth OF
an inch would not bother him.

FREEZING an Easy Death.

Freezing to death. writes a medical
authority. is preceded by a ~drowsiness
which makes the end painless-the
body actually feels warm and goes
comfortably to sleep. Experiments
have been made with animals to show
just how freezing to death proceeds.
In one of these experiments, in
which the animal was placed in a tenn
perature of 125 to $50 degrees below
zero, the breathing and heart beats
at first were Quickened, the organic
heat of the body actually rising above
normal.
This rising showed a sudden and an
intense effort on the part of functions
TO preserve the body's temperature.
Then the violent heart action gave out
suddenly and death came when the
temperature of the body dropped to
II degrees.

Critics EVER BUSY
Seems That None Can Escape
misunderstanding of Actions,
Even When Most Worthy.

1t would seem that no man can be
anything or do anything without being
made a target to be shot at, If not shot
to pieces, by somebody. This editor
was once a presiding elder. He found
that the most sincere and honest and
earnest effort in that Office did not
save him from the suspicious Of some
and the direct charges of others. He
found that a few men for whom he en-
dured most, in an effort to do for them.
thought that he had abandoned them
and cruci1ed them. He found that
some laymen, members Of quarterly
conferences, would impress the pastor
with the notion that they were anxious
for his retuin to a charge and would
at the same time load the pastor with
complaints made to the presiding Ell
der. He found hat such a pastor
thought the presiding elder full of the
"insolence of Office" and loaded down
with a sense of Importance on account
Of a little brief authority"
The presiding elder is now an editor.
He was told on taking charge of the
OAUAlAAo u q PoPOL maj oil COAIO4 ~ q
public target. He has come to know
that. He has found that the men for
whom he has really tried to do most
are the men who are quickest and sur
est to shoot his hide full of holes. He
has found hat his motives are often
questioned. He has found that some
are quick to attribute sinister motives

ready to accuse him of systematic
neglect of them and their work.
Cannot Escape Criticism.
Justice Holmes of the Supreme court
of the United States recently made a
speech in New York. That speech has
given this editUr no small comfort. We
had supposed that nobody impugned
the motives of the Supreme court. But
it seems that the only way any man
a escape criticism is to go off and
hide himself, be nothing at all, do
nothing at all. Here is the paragraph
of Justice Holmes speech which gives
US comfort:
"Of course we are not excepted" he
said, referring to the Supreme court
Not only are we told that when Mar
shall pronounced an act of congress
unconstitutional he usurped a power
that the Constitution did not give, but
we are told we are the representatives
of a class, a tool of the money power.
l get letters, not always anonymous,
~intimating that we are corrupt.
We'll, gentlemen, l admit that it
makes my heart ache. 1t is very pain
full when one spends all the energies
of ones soul in trying to do good work
with no thought but that of solving a
problem according to the rules by
which one is bound to know that many
see sisister motives and would be glad
of evidence that one was conscientious
ly bad. But we must take such things
p~hilosophically and try to see what we
can learn from hatred and distrust,
and whether behind them there may
not be some germ Of ina%rticulate
truth."-Western Methodist.

Phone Rates Reduced.

The telephone company at Newark
announces a number of changes n it's
rates for what may be described as
extra services, such as long distance
calls, time limitations, and the like.
The details are not yet known, but
no doubt the changes will make the
service better and cheaper. The semi
public corporations have given up
boasting without cause. Of course,
the company will ultimately profit.
Where such corporations have offer
ed better general facilities they have
profited in the end, simply because
the American people do not try to
save money in these matters, but in
variably spend more when there is
more offered them for their money.

COURT UPHOLDS
PUBLICITY LAW
Supreme Tribunal Dismisses
UnConstitutionaIity Complaint
PUBLIC PRESS STILL FREE
Freedom of Press Held Not To Be In.
volVed-MereIy a Postal Require
ment Exacted in Return for Use
of Second Class Mails,

Washington. = The publishers of
newspapers have lost their fight be-
fore the courts to have the rider in
the Post Office appropriation act of
August "A, 1912, relating to their Sec
ond class privileges declared uncon-
stitutional.
The amendment requires news
papers to file with the postmaster
semi-annually sworn statements dis
closing the names and addresses of
the editorial and business managers,
the stockholders, b%ondholders, mort
gagees and other security holders. and
as to daily newspapers a public state
ment of their circulation. 1t also re-
quires that all that is paid for shall
ment.
Publishers failing to comply with
these requirements are to be denied
the second class privileges and in the
case of failure plainly to mark adver-
Using matter may be punished by
fine.
In two suits decided by the Supreme
Court the constitutionality of the leg
islation was upheld. The cases arose
in New York. One was brought by
the Lewis Publishing Company to en-
join Postmaster Morgan, and the other
was an application for an Injunction
made by the Journal of Commerce.
The publishers attacked the law on
the ground that it abridged the free
dom of the press, that it was a denial
of due process of law and otherwise
offended the Constitution. The lower
court dismissed the bills and the SUI
preme Court has affirmed the decree
of the lower court.
Justice White read the opinion,
which was unanimous. He declared
that publishers of newspapers had de-
rived great ~pecuniary benefits because
of the favored rates. Reference is
made to the fact that the reports of
the Post Office Department showed
that while first class mail matter pro-
duced a profit of $40, 100000 a year to
the government, second class matter
was carried at a loss to that amount.
He added, however, that the public in
tended that this should be paid for the
educational advantages which it de-
sired.
In return for this discrimination,
the Chief Justice declared, Congress
had the right to fix the standard to
be met by those who wished to enjoy
the privileges.

IF there be any Virtue, If there be
any praise, think on these things"
To admire what is admirable, to
adore what is adorable, to follow what
is noble. to remember any such ex-
amples that have crossed our earth
ly pilgrimage, that have frightened
its darkness and cheered its dullness,
this keeps alive before us the ideal
of human nature and the Of
the divine nature. The good thoughts,
the good deeds, the good memories,
of those who have been the salt and
the light of the earth, do not perish
with their departure. They live on
still, and those who have wrought
them live in them.

School Bonds on Sale.
Arrangements for the sale Of the
$4,000 five per CEN bonds authorized
for school purposes at the election at
Hillside township will be made at the
meeting of the Hillside Board of Ed.
ucation in the Lyons Farms School.
At the election $4,000 was voted by
direct taxation for the maintenance of
the schools in the municipality for
the 1913-1914 term. One hundred and
ten ballots were cast and not more
than five was against any one propo-
sition on the bond issue. The money
authorized by bond issue will be used
as follows:-$42,0 900 for a site; $4,000
for finishing off the second story of
the Saybrook school and making some
other improvements, and $1,000 for ad-
ditional land for the Saybrook school.
Practically the same propositions
were adopted at a special election last
September, when Hillside was a part
of Union township, but because of the
division of the municipality attorneys
for Julius S. Rippel, of this city, who
purchased the bonds, would not ap-
prove of the transaction, making last
