Ultra MOdestv

automobile ride. 'I trust you i'm
plicitly."
The lad was scarcely to be
blamed when he answered, some
what gruffly, IF I hadn't be-
lieved that already I would not
have asked you to go with or
without chaperon."
But reluctant and hesitatlns
speech on certain subjects Is only
one phase Of the exaggerated
modesty that borders on indie
cency.
Some persons see insinuations
in plays-and these not plays
that are among the many to
which one might justly take eT-
ception-where less suspicious
people discern only innocent fun.
Such persons watch for the
double entendre in the speech Of
others and find improperly
where another would not.
This is not an argument In IA
vor of coarse speech, nor would l
advocate conversation upon top
les which are unpleasant and, to
say the. least, distasteful, If not
evil. But l do claim that If cir
cumstances make it necessary for
one to speak of such matters;
If, for the good of mankind or for
the suppression of some wrong,
man or woman must deal with
any disagreeable problem, there
is a consciousness of the pure
ness of ones motive, of the dig
nifty Of the end toward which one
strives, that makes one FORGET
questions OF modesty and i'm
modesty. propriety and tmpro-
priety in the one overwhelming
desire to do that which is right?

k.%O the ultra pure all things
are impure" Such Is the
corruption of an ancient
proverb, a corruption which, we
are sometimes forced to admit,
bears a flrmer stamp of truth
than does the original maxim.
1t is a sad commentary upon
human nature that the person
possessing consciousness of
righteousness is pretty sure
to be conscious also of the other
fellows faults.
II he didn't appreciate them he
would lose half the pleasure of
his own virtues!
Some people, compelled by
what they consider a sense OF
propriety, are particular to the
point of prudence in speaking of
doubtful subjects. Their hyper
trophied modesty makes them
ridiculous, and the subject of
Wnlcn they are 1orced TO speak
assumes an indecency that would
not belong to 1t If 1t were treated
honestly.
Il am suffering with rheuma-
tism in my limb" complained an
ultra fastidious spinster to her
physician.
You have four limbs, madam"
the blunt practitioner reminded
her. From your vague reference
to the affected member l suppose
it is one of those limbs termed
by sensible people LEGS"
You need not ask a chaperon
to accompany us" a girl said to
a young man who had asked to
be allowed to take her for an

MO earnest effort, no use Of
" brain power, no applica-
ton to study, Is ever lost.
1t is never wasted.
Somewhere, some time, that ef-
fort, that power, that knowledge,
will come into use.
This one fact alone is enough to
make the belief in reincarnation
Of inesttmable value, as a source
OF happiness to every soul here in
this brief and troubled life span.
Christ taught reincarnation.
1t is we'll known to students of
this philosophy that few souls re-
member the old lives, at least not
until they have studied 70. that
purpose.
This explains why John the
Baptist when asked Art thou
Elias?" replied No" But Christ,
knowing all things, said:
II say unto you he (John) is
Elias, who wa for to come
(Mat. xi:14 and xvii:12 and 13.)
Solomon says: 81 was a witty
child, and had a good spirit; yea
being good 1 came into body
undefiled."
Josephus said to the Romans:
do we not remember that all
pure spirits who are in conformi-
ty with the divine dispensation
live in the loveliest of heavenly
places, AND IN COURSE OF
TINE THEY ARE AGAIN SENT
TO INHABIT SUNLESS BODIES?
But those who commit self-de-
struction are sent to gion of
darkness"
Origen says: Every soul Is in
troduced into a body according to
its deserts and former action"
All this is very encouraging to

right action, to right thinking, to
high aspiration, and to the use Of
every faculty and power we pos
sess while here on earth, no mat
ter how limited our outlook.
A man who has been Obliged to
follow mercantile business or a
trade, yet who has longed to be
scholar, and who has spent all his
spare moments in the study of
law, or literature, will come back
to earth In his next life with a
precocious mind, ready to attain
the heights Of learning with small
effort. A wona4. who has all her
life longed to be musician began
after she } lssed the meridian to
study the rudiments of mus. To-. She
will not live to achieve more
than a beginning in this life: and
the untnstructed mind might
think she was wasting time. The
Knower realizes that she is pre-
pairing herself to come back to
earth a great musician.
Nothing can stand in the way
Of divine soul which is burning
with an all-compelling resolve.
It burns away the obstacles
which lie between it and Its goal.
It brings into the visible realm
the invisible helpers.
Meantime all that a man is do.
ing will count for great value
when he comes again to earth.
His efforts, his ambitions, his
hopes are not lost.
We will be what we will to be:
if not here and now, then later
on, when We Will bring new pow
ers and new strength from Tive
spiritual realms through which
we will pass en- route to earth
again.

The VillainOus Cooks
BY WINIFRED BLACK.

TIME man didn't like the way
his steak was broiled and
he called the cook in and
said so, and the cook, being a
Western man and of high spirit
and very sensitive, pulled his
gun" and shot the man who COM
planned dead.
This happened in st. Louis the
other day The cook Is in Jail,
grumbling a good dea! about the
meals they serve there, they say.
The man who complained Is
buried. l wonder II someone won't
put up a monument to him? He
deserves one II man ever did.
Whatever Is the matter with us
Americans that we will allow
people to feed us the stuff they
call food and never even voice
one single protest? There are
no restaurants so good as the best
American restaurants in all the
wide and rolling world and may
! ask a long suffering public If
there is any restaurant so bad as
the second class American res
taurant anywhere in the uni
verse?
Where did you go this summer?
Down to the New England coast?
What did they give you for
breakfast? Anything you could
eat and enjoy? Tell the truth,
now. And the dinner-forty dish
es on the bill of fare and not one
OF them ut to eat,
A la this and that and the
other thing, and not one slice OF
decently cooked meat, not one
vegetable that tasted like any
thing but an imitation.
Peasl What, were those peas,
those little brigh tgreen bullets
they served with what they called
roast lamb? Beans! Those pal
lid strings? Cornl That with
cred thing on cob? Beef!
Where did you get It? Chicken!
What did it taste like? Veal! Oh
spectered horror OF pale misery,
Pork, Well. yes, that does look
like an old-fashioned pork chop
when you take a microscope and
look it right straight in the face.
Rut what oh, what did the cook
I'm his heudish fury do TO It?
Pie, Leather and stewed fruit,
Cake! You could taste the grease
long before you got a chance TO
cut 1t. Ice cream! That was
fairly decent, though If you went
far enough South, that began to
taste Of hair oil, In some mystic
rious way.
The mouutains-tresh trout the
hest Vegetables in the world

are they that they make us suffer

lunar craters, submits and peaks,
and spread over plains below.
During totality the moon oc-
Quilted a number of small stars
that Is, 1t passed between the
telescope and the stars, opscuring
them, one by one. They, at in
slant of disappearance, vanished
instantly, as If cut out by the
edge of a rapid knife. This is
proof that the moon has no at
mosphere, for air refracts, and no
refraction of light has ever been
seen at times of occultation Of
many thousands of stars.
could not detect diminution Of
light upon viewing distant peaks
with the unaided eye until the
shadow had cut off one-half of
the lunar disk. Then the black
ness of night drew on apace and
became intense at totality. Sat-
urn, Mars, Venus, the Pleiades,
the Galaxy and Orion blazed and
burned and glowed with super
nal splendor when the light from
the moon was cut off.
Then | had trouble. Pasadena
turned on about a million cleo
trio lights, and this prevented
the entire scenic splendor of the
eclipse. For Los Angeles keeps
the electric lights going at times
of full moon, while Pasadena
shuts them off. But the folk in
Pasadena turned on the glow
when they missed the moon.
At full total eclipse all of the
light of the moon is not extin-
guished. Light is refracted around
the earth by its atmosphere and
drawn to a rude focus on the
moon And the great object
glasses are so powerful that this
faint light could be utilized in
dimly exploring the interiors Of
the lunar craters. They present
ed a peculiar aspect of light and
shade under this strange illumi-
nation.
The people in washington, D.
c., and in Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. could not see the eclipse,
as at time of beginning the moon
was setting below their distant
Western horizons. When the OBJ
ject glasses were turned toward
the moon, OF course, the opposite
or eye-end was pointing through
the globe Of the earth toward tho
sun. A straight line drawn
through the center Of the earth
from the center OF the sun to the
center of the moon, is the line of
eclipse data. But the surface OF
the earth is. on an average, 1888
miles from the center; the diam
eter of the moon, as seen from
the earth, Is 80 minutes OF arc;
and of the earth, as seen from
the moon, 103 minutes OF arc; a
number that must be allowed for
in computing the time and points
Of view. as seen from many
places on earth. The ephemeris
giving all computations was pub
lished in WASHINGTON four years
ago, and every one was fulfilled
to the letter. For great is the
power of mathematical minds.

TREATMENT OF MULES.

Editor The Georgian:
! am a reader of he Georgian
and l agree with the gentleman
who signs himself Humane" on
the question of cruelty to dumb
brutes. l understand Atlanta has
no S. P. c. A, and shame on big
Atlanta, the Capital City of our
big State, to let these drivers
beat the faithful animals up so
brutally and not a hand is raised
to protect these poor dumb
brutes. | go to work every morn
ing and walk down Marietta
street quite a few blocks, and to
hear the whips cracking you
would think it was a sham battle.
! know of one contractor who has
ten or twelve teams and | have
heard him tell his drivers to hit
the mules on the legs so the
welts wouldn't show.

A CRUSADE IN GEORGIA.

Editor The Georgian:
Your estimable paper of Thurs
day contains a photograph Of MrS-
Virginia Brooks Washburn, from
the State of Illinois, who has
come to clean up" the State o.
Georgia; that is, l believe, she
proposes to lead in a vice cru
sade. The most noteworthy thins
about this is the fact she comes
from Chicago. OF all the places
where she can do good Chicago
offers as fine opportunity as any
city in America, yet she leaves
there a wealth of opportunity m
her line Of work and goes TO thst
little town OF Augusta to crusaoe,
I'll venture 10 say there Is not
much sin in the whole town on
Augusta as one street OF tho
great Chicago.

THE Sun" is the name of a new
afternoon daily which has just begun
publication in Seattle. It's ownership
is exclusively local and is headed by
E. H. Wells. formerly editor of one Of
the other dailies of this city. 1t was
first issued on Feb. 8, and started off
with d pages, but will be regularly a
12-page paper. Mr.. Wells is regarded
as we'll equipped to conduct metro
politan daily, having had many years
of experience in the management Of
newspapers. With the addition Of the
Sun, Seattle now has four dailies, only
one OF them being a morning paper.

Sour Milk for Long Life

R. Angeloff, Bulgarian consul gen.
eral at Manchester, England, who was
attached to the Balkan peace delega-
ton during the deliberations in Lon
don, belongs to a long-lived family,
and is strong believer in sour milk as
an article of diet. He says that his
grandfather, who died about twenty
years ago at the age Of 1872 or 1873,
lived to a great extent on sour milk.
He was a wonderful old gentle
man," said Mr.. Angelof, with a grim
sense of humor. I remember him
saying at a birthday party that he
hoped to live to see all his family in
the grave, and he did live longer than
the majority or his children, OF whom
he had twenty-six."

sion bill. If the writer was to place {
bet on the result it would be that the
bill meets death, for it is considered &
Progressive measure, and it matteretf
not how meritorious, it is one OF the
slogans OF the "unholy' alliance that
anything with a Progressive tag shall
go down to defeat. But the Progress
i've members will be found fighting fol
those measures desired by the people
up to the very last.
c. L. Chamberlain, Whitman, who
led the opposition to the Cookery and
Murphine recall of judges bill, has in
troduced bill which provides for the
removal Of dishonest and corrupt
judges by the governor Of the state.
The bill is in the nature Of a proposed
constitutional amendment and has
been referred to that committee for
consideration. The governor must
hold public hearing, giving all par
ties thereto free and full opportunity to
be heard, and if the governor decides
the judge is guilty then he shall re-
move the latter, and there is no ap-
peal from the governors decision.
There is no likelihood of the bill pass
ing this legislature.
The house has passed a bill fixing
the public highway levy at one and
one-half mills.
Speaker Taylor got himself in bad
further this week, and also showed to
what extent he desires to carry his ar
bitrary powers of presiding officer OF
the house, when he cornered six Of the
best seats in the gallery Of the house
for particular friends during the even
ing of the third house. 1t seems that
the speaker assumed considerable
more authority than is accorded him
by the constitution or otherwise when
he delegated one of the hired door
keepers Of the house to rope off six OF
the gallery seats and then stand guard
over the same until the speaker and
his guests, which included his bust
ness partner from Eagle Gorge, should
arrive. The act, which prevented
some people Of Olympia from obtain
ing seats, has not set" we'll with
good many who witnessed the affair,
and similar occurrence might cause
an uuholy alliance from other quarters.

State Aid Asked for Two Big Projects

Clark V. Savidge, state land COM
missioner, has been compelled to re-
fuse to file an application made by a
Seattle corporation for the lease of
1900 acres Of kelp grove, owing to the
absence OF any legislation on the sub
ject. The kelp land applied for is
situated on the Straits Of Juan de
Fuca. Commissioner Savidge has also
been compelled to hold up any appli-
cations for the leasing Of lands sup
posed to contain oil because OF lack OF
laws on the subject.
