Most uth-seekers are more 1nter-'
ested in that part of the truth which
applies to their neighbors than that
which camps on their own doorsteps.
Most of us writhe when we turn the
probe upon ourselves, but when it is
manipulated by a seriousminded as
sociate we jump, double up our fists
and shrek that he is trying to take
our lives. The chances are that ne
is only trying to point out that
which is threatening out moral exist
ence, but we love our moral diseases
as we love ourselves and we don't
care to have the surgeon dig into the
source of the disorder.
You may believe that you have a
passion for truth, but let the other
fellow put his finger upon your faults
and you'll know for sure. If you want
to hang him for a murderer you're
in the same boat with the rest of us.
If you're properly humble, duly
repentant and thank the prober for
his pains, you really love truth.
Constitutional freedom of speech
has done more than YOU think to de-
crease the mortality rate. Few men
will lay violent hands upon their
brothers when they can take their
anger out in particularly when
they can speak the truth with dead
ly effectiveness. Too many of us
sneak the truth as a substitute for
a coarser violence of which the law
takes persistent and unpleasant
cognizance.
II is well, therefore, before you
give way to your passion for speak
ing the truth, that you hunt up a.
trusted friend and let him tell you
a few perfectly true things about
Yourself. BY the time your OK has
been gored little while in per-
fectly friendly fashion, you'll begin
to understand something about the
1lnregenerate brutality of cold facts
shouted from the housetops Truth
will look more like club than ever,
hut the little end of the club won't
he so inviting. You'll begin to have
a deep sympathy for the fellow that
Won meant to cruelty with few
well-chosen words.

truth for truths. sake must not only
not live in a glass house, but he

ter of Mr.. H. A. Ware. She and her
sister received an interesting though
unusual education, first at school and
then travelling abroad and at home.
When she was IL years old, in 1888,
she married r. E. Warfield, of Lex

Both Catharine and her sister,
Eleanor Percy Ware. in the mean

Warfeld's books is fraught with
mystery and romance of a sort more
popular fifty years ago than at the
present time.
THE Household of Bouverie" is
Mrs. Warf1eld's best known book. 1t
was published in 1855 and reprinted
twenty years later. It was one of
the best sellers Of the day.

must have the hide of a rhinoceros
and the humility of an unspoiled
child. We run afoul of hard facts
many times in every twenty four
hours, and it is possible that If we
keep on preaching the harsh doc
trine which prescribes the truth for
every possible occasion, we'll en-
courage our neighbors to turn their
missiles in our direction.
A better, more humane rule is to
speak the truth only when 1t brings
the greatest good to the greatest
number. II you adhere to this plan
and keep a close watch upon yourself

ciate it's marvellous beauties.

the gentleman's name2' So greatly
had age impaired Emerson's faculty!
He knew that he was witnessing last
ceremonies of someone with whom he
had been intimate, but the name and
personality OF the man upon whose
face he looked he could not recall.
Il think it was United States SEN
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts. who
went to call upon Mr.. Bancroft only
a short time before the latter's death.
He had a delightful chat with the
venerable man. Bancroft's recollec-
tions went back vividly TO the early
years of his life. He narrated many
things about men who had gained
fame and who had passed away. He
seemed to enjoy the presence of the
senator and talked with him upon
terms of familiarity.
But when the time to part came,
Mr.. Bancroft seized the extended
hand and then peered closely into the
senator's face. At last he said, 1t
seems to me as though l knew yous
but can't recall your name. Neither
do recollect your face
TT was pathetic. 1t was the moni-
ton of rapidly approaching decay.
Emerson could not recall the name or

name or identify the person of a dis
tinguished senator with whom for
many years he had been in intimate
personal relations"

This is exactly the way Peruna has

GRAND JURY MAKES
ITS FINAL REPORT
Presents Report to Judge Hamilton
for February TERMS Work
Saturday Noon.

The grand jury made It's final re-
port to Judge Hamilton Saturday
morning. They reported that they
had BEEN in session eight and one
half days, examined 105 witnesses,
found thirteen true bills and ignored
four cases and continued one case.
Five of the indictments had previous
ly been made public and another one
is undoubtedly the Bruce Lake in
dictment.
One of the cases ignored was that
of Mike Demitrieu, charged with
perjury. This is the foreigner who
had a damage suit in the district
court dismissed, claiming that when
he signed contract with Hughes
& McCoid to bring the case he did
not know what he was doing. Judge
Hughes Immediately filed an infor-
nation charging perjury
Mrs. VIM. Townsend's case was liz.
nored as was that OF Assessor 8. H.
Johnston, against whom j. P. Dick
son brought charges of misconduct.
The case Of Geo. Trafter for attempt.
ing assault upon Otto Pfaffe was also
ignored. THE case against ]. w
Stanley the restaurant man, was dis
missed at the written request of Mrs
Stanley who originally brought the
charges.

How Can the People Decide
Which Medicine is Best?

MY reply, in part was rs follows:
Let us suppose 1t was a cough, or
common cold, or hoarseness, or a
pain in the chest, OF twinge OF
rheumatism, or stoppage OF the
nose and discharge from the throat,
indicating catarrh.
What you are after Is, first, to cure
yourself OF your trouble; and, second,
to gain experience so that you may
cure yourself next time, II you or
any member OF your family should be
30 afflicted.
II you go to the drug store you buy
Peruna. II 1t cures you then you
know what to get next time. If 1t
does not cure you and 1t proves TO
be worthless, you know what to avoid.
In taking advertised medicines that
have definite name you are gradu-
ally learning to distinguish between
those remedies that help and those
that do not.
If neighbor in whom have con.
fidenoe should tell me that they have
purchased bottle of some advertis-
ed medicine that helped them, |
should feel perfectly free to give the
medicine trial. And IL l found that
the advertised medicine cured me
should not hesitate to tell my neigh
bors about 1t. | should not hesitate
to have my name published. either
as testifying to the merits of such y
medicine. Nothing short of this woult
be justice. Nothing less than thi'
would be honest.
The prejudice against advertised
medicines may have had some foun
dalton in the past. But up to date
can conscientiously say that there ar
| just as good medicines in the drul
store, compounded in mandatory
advertised for sale to the people, JUS

Commander e. r. G. Evans, now In
command of the Scott expedition, to-
day denied Indignantly the stories
cabled from here that the relations
between him and Surgeon Atkinson
we're strained almost to the breaking
point. Evans also denied that Petty
Officer Evans was stricken with in
sanity on the return with Captain
Scott from the south pole. He furth-
ermore contends that the relief party
did all that mortal men could do to
rescue Scott and his four compan-
lions.
According to the cablegram sent
from here it was stated that comment
had been made to the effect that
| Captain Scott, DR.. Wilson and Lieu
tenant Bowers could have been saved
/ had the rescue party pushed south
more vigorously from it's base in
March, 1912 1t was also stated that
it's failure to do so was apparently due
10 the lne&peTleHce Oh LII. athinsoH,
who was in command of the relief ex.

/ allowed the bulk of the party to re
main at Cape Evans, cut off by open
water from Hut Point, the edge Of
Beardmore glacier, where Scott was
soon expected to arrive.
In prepared statement, which i:
signed by six officers and which Com
mander Evans is sending to London

from all blame.

ISOLATION is too light to do, must be
deferred. The bill introduced in the
house by Representative Kennedy and
in the senate by Senator Cullom, has
been killed in the subcommittee OF
the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce.
Senator Cullom two weeks ago call
ed up the bill for passage by the SEN
ate, but Senator Cummins objected to
its consideration at the time and it
went over on the calendar. If the
senator had not objected, the bill
probably would have passed in the
senate, as Senator Cullom said ii
would take only minute," and there
might have been no trouble in the
house. The committee now refuses to
report out the bill for the reason that
the opposition has developed and
there would be no possible chance Of

for its consideration.
Representative Kennedy has assur.
