REFUGE FOR THE SCHOLAR
In the Classics, Writer Asserts, One

Thoughts Of tho Past.

advocate the classics because
they constitute retreat, In which
the spirit may commune with the
high thoughts Of the past. Modern
literature is modern: 1t concerns 1t.
self with actual life, with our distrac.
tions. our trivialities, our romance.
our getting on in the world. with all
our coarser appetites; but In the re-
mote classics, in that cool, tranquil.
distant world, we can surrender our.
selves to contemplation. to medita
ton, to the high influences that al.
ways stoop to the souls call.
This remoteness Of the classics at.
fects me as my remembrance OF
gracious figures in my childhood. The
people there seem to have nobler
aspect, a more goodly presence. larg.
er sympathies, wiser and a kinder
attitude. We do not apply the les.
sons we learned from them directly
to life, but we know that somehow
the most valuable lessons In our lives
came from them. We cannot say just
what we learned, but we possess a
memory Of quietness, or ripeness, of
wisdom Of life, and we feel that to
them is due whatever gain we have
made In grace and moral stature.

claring that on that spot house must
be built for him. The structure which
arose at his command is in the style
Of the simpler Swiss chalets. For the
most part 1t Is composed Of wood, and
q plainly carved balcony runs round
the upper of its two floors. In Its d.
mensions 1t Is not more imposing than
an ordinary suburban villa. and all its
appointments are OF the simplest de-
scription. Hundreds of antlers hang
on the walls, both within and without.
and the other principal interior mural
decorations are framed prints and
photographs, most Of which have some
connection with the chase.
The furniture is plain and substan.
tial, like that Of a yeoman farmer.
Even the room in which the emperor
sleeps during his annual autumnal Wis.
its is hardly big enough to admit the
simple bedstead. washstand, and dress
ing table, and the chief members Of
the suites he brings with him are, Of
course, no more sumptuously lodged
than their master. A corridor connects
the chalet with a lurger wing. where
are the kitchen, the servants rooms
and the stabling.
When the suite Is at all numerous
some of its members sleep at two for
esters' houses, one Of which Is close to
the chalet, while the other occupies a
magnificent site on the shores of the
lovely Wherbellin lake. about mile
distant. There is no inclosure or gar
den worthy OF the name to shut the
chalet off from the outside world. Only
q notice nailed to the posts warns the
wanderer that some of the paths In its
vicinity are forbidden" But when the
court is not in residence he has free

apartments except the bedrooms Of

Outside the chalet, on the spot
where Frederic William Nv. made his
thrust at the ground, rises "bild.

which Is painted the vision of st. Hu.
bertus. who, the legend tells, was
brought into the paths Of piety when

burned their fingers on bad play, they cry,
Let us do away with plays forever" 1t never
seems to occur to them that the playhouse is
little to blame for bad plays as is match for
setting house on fire. A wise society will en-
deavor to make right use of the drama and not
any longer belabor the institution for its own
faults.
So also with the bill board, another much
abused instrument. People talk if bill board
in itself something devilish and bad And
because they every day insulted by having to
confront great staring indecent posters, they
would do away with it entirely.
But new light has been thrown on the bill
board question by the Advertising Association of
the United States and Canada These men, actu-
ated by motives into which it is useless to in
quire, have planned campaign of education
through use of bill posters. They are preparing
to display pictures to interest the young in Bible
stories and in the country's history. These
posters will be artistic we'll suggestive and
will be designed to add rather than detract from
the beauty of neighborhood.
In Boston recently the Anti-Saloon League
made use of the citys bill-boards with very tell
ing effect. Artistic posters were displayed
which called the attention of drinkers to certain
aspects of the habit which appeal to every per-
son.
When Charles Wesley was called to account
for adopting into his church hymnal the lively
tunes heard only in tap-rooms he replied that the
devil had had the use of good music long enough.
1t will be well for us to apply this same homely
philosophy to certain of our own now abused So
cial instruments.

Abusing the Instrument.

When a savage tumbles over log, imme-
diately he beats it with club and scolds it for
tripping him up If through carelessness he rips
open the bottom of his canoe straightway he be-
gins to belabor the rock. A baby will whip" a
chair against which it bumps its head and ham
mers a rug on which it trips its toe. A poor
workman blames his tools. This is human ma
ture for us to "abuse the Instrument and to try
to find goat on which to lay our own faults and
errors. If we can blame the devil with sins
we feel ourselves justified.
But with the wise it is not So They believe
the fault usually lies in the workman rather than
in his tool They steer their boats around the
rock and are careful to leap over the log.
Some such wisdom as this is called for in deal
ing with certain social instruments which it is
becoming the custom to abuse. Notice how some
classes lombard the theatre. Because they have
