False Alarm.

Truth came up out of her well one
day with so merciless a look in her
eye that disquieting rumors sprang
into circulation. Was she about to
take over the dominion of the world?
A group of gentlemen made haste
to hustle up. "Ma'am! Ma'am!" they
protested, breathlessly.

Truth. with ominous GOODNESS.

gentlemen, in much confusion.

The thousands who are going to
their death in Europe today may have
higher ideals than the toad. or they
may have lower ones; certainly they
have different ones. Those soldiers,
those peasants, are not lighting for
their lives, as animals are obliged TO
fight; they could lead fairly comfort
able existences without resorting to

devote themselves to death by thou

Humorists.
From Des Moines Register.
Men do not become humorists
without a fundamental seriousness
behind them" observes Richard M.
Hunt, editor of Poetry Journal. The
statement hits upon a distinguishing
quality of humor as well as of hui
morists The man who is able to
make the world laugh must appre-
eiate the cares and perplexities OF
mankind as well as the absurdities
and incongruities. The book or story
or verse that holds real element of
humor has behind it the grace and
depth of large and serious philoso-
ply of life.
The humor with the finest and
most enduring appeal lies close to
the borderland of woe. For this rea-
son we are able to turn easily to
find 1t, away from our irlxing cares.
The laughing with the clearest, high
est joy in it comes near to the gilt
ter of tears. 1t means something
vital and stirring because 1t Is re-
lated to our fundamental. serious
thought. 1t has significance through

Buying Monticello.
From Hartford Courant.
Democrats are saying that Jefferson
ranks with washington in the work
of laying the foundations of this ma
ton, and that, therefore. Monticello
should be preserved as memorial,
just as Mount Vernon has been. Just
so, but let Ii be preserved in the
same way. Mount Vernon, the home
of Washington, was purchased and
is kept open by a patriotic society
The admirers of Thomas Jefferson
would give better evidence of their
admiration II they pursued the same
course, instead of asking. Congress
to appropriate 100000 for the pur-
chase OF Jefferson's old home.
II Congress goes into the business
of buying and preserving places made
historic by their association with the
Revolution, it will start pork bar
rel that will make all the rivers and
harbors bills look like the work of
beginners. More silly than all is
Secretary Bryan's suggestion that
Monticello be bought by the govern
ment and made a memorial of the
present Democratic administration.
If II is to be partisan affair, there
is all the more reason that 1t should
be a private rather than a govern
mental undertaking. Mrs. Littleton
ought to go to her rich friends for
the money. Congress. in the midst
of struggle to devise a scheme of
"war taxes" has other uses for the
nations funds.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

It's basis of intelligent relation to the
sane and steadying truths of life.
Such humor is wholesome and
clean and satisfying. 1t purifies our
souls like glow of sunshine. it puts
strength in our effort and faith IN
our understanding. Such a humorist
has a gift that is high and god-like.
1t is his blessed mission to add to the
joy and sweetness and sturdy eff
cheney of the world.

Sportsmen who trekked up and down
the brooks yesterday did so oftener than
not by wallowing through snow up to
their knees. Still fishing for lazy trout
was out of the question as the big pools
were usually ice bound. In the open
spaces there was opportunity enough for
casting as the water, swollen by an oc-
easional thaw, ran swiftly. But the fish,
especially the trout, were hugging close
to the bottom and the bites were most
ly frost bites. Fortune smiled on one
man who came home last night and ex-
hibited a speckled beauty measuring
nine inches. 1t represented a days

Mr.. Williams entered an active
business career 10 1899 when he eu-'
gaged In the abstract and farm loan

be seen that Mr.. williams has had
hide business experience which has
particularly lifted him for the once
he now seeks. As will be seen, the
past 16 years have been spent in con.

perhaps not been day passed in that
time during which he has not been
called upon to judge values, both real
