CHAPTER XII.
The Echo.

When the major entered his room,
Jereboam his ancient body-servant,
was dawdling about putting things to
rights, his scanned visage under his
white wool suggesting a charred
stump beneath a crisp powdering of
snow. "Jedge Chalmahs done telly-
foam ter ak yo ovah ter Glahden Hall
ter suppah ter-night, subj he said.
Tell him not tonight, jerry" said
the other YEARLY. Some other time
The old darby ruminated as he
plodded down to the doctors tele-
phone. Whit de mattah now? He
got dat ar -yondah look ergen."
He shook his head forebodingly.
The major had. indeed, a far-away
look as he sat there, a heavy lonely
figure, that bright morning. 1t had
slipped to his face with the news of
the arrival at Damory Court. He told
himself that he felt queer.

Today in Holland there Is harmony
In the land and peace with the world
outside. Holland has been chosen by
the rest of the world as the great cen.
ter, from which the idea Of peace and
peaceful arbitration may spread, slow
ly, but surely, over all the nations on
the earth.
The first book on international peace
the world has ever seen was written
by a Hollander, Hugo de Groot, as
early as 1921. The world now seems
ready to apply the idea of peace, and
a large number of disputes between
nations have already been settled In
the Peace palace at The Hague.
AS far as size is concerned, Holland
is small country, but it may well be
proud of its past and its present, and
It still has a mission to fulfill in the
future civilization of man.

and Sciences of the Race Have
Grown in This Atmosphere.

New York.-There Ia hardly q
country in the world where the prin-
ciple of personal freedom is so deeply
rooted in the hearts of the people as
1t is in the Dutch Holland was the
first country to recognize and estab-
lish the right Of individual liberty
the right to think and the right to
speak. Holland has always extended
hearty welcome to all those who
were oppressed and prosecuted in 9th
er lands Huguenots from France,
Puritans from England, Jews from
Spain and Germany, they all fled to
Holland and made the country pros
porous.
This Is what appeals to Americans
What Holland has been in the past,
America is today. Holland was the
land of religious liberty in the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries.
America is the land of intellectual and
economic freedom of the present age.
Freedom has been the dominant
note during the entire history of the
Dutch, and art and science have grown
in the atmosphere of liberty, and
reached the highest level. Go and ad-
miro the masterpieces of Rembrandt
Halls, Potter and Dou, and you will
realize that their works were born
In the land Of the free.
In the field of science, Holland has
accomplished more than any other
country of its size. Coster, Spinoza, de
Vries, Want Hoff are known all the
world over, and of late years five or
more Hollanders have obtained the
Nobel prize for science, for chemistry
and for peace!

FOR AND AGAINST THE BEARD

Been Waged With Considerable
Bitterness.

We need not go back so far as the
eighteenth century to find Englishmen
whe held that shaving was "agen God
on nature" In the nineteenth, James
Ward, r. A., in a Defense of the
Beard set forth eighteen reasons for
retaining it, mainly Scriptural. re-en-
forced by artistic considerations,
What would a Jupiter be without
beard?" AS late as 1860 Thelogos pub
lished a treatise entitled Shaving
Breach of the Sabbath and a Hin

One of his points was, that Prov
dence had manifestly designed the
beard as protection for the throat
and chest" But what about the Wo-
mans throat?

Try.. Try AGAIN.


IF at first you don't succeed. try
try again. sounds like childish phil
osophy, but we grown-ups will do well
to apply it to our own lines. Because
We cannot be failure until we admit
it ourselves.
Many prominent men who have sue
ceeded will tell you that they have
failed in several lines of activity, and
they succeeded in something that they
were unconscious of any ability in.
You may long to be a famous actor
or brilliant writer, but if your ability
lies in painting roofs stick to it and
become a connoisuer in your line OF
business, and you will be as great as
the persons who are acknowledged by
the world as successes.
We would all be failures in some
lines, but when we find our places
then it is up to us to strive for tho
best and eventually we will be crown
ed with success.

bark producers have had only small
margin of profit. Under these circum-
stances it is hardly likely that they

there is a great risk, therefore, that a
