and are prone to slight the great ones
whose self-sacrifice has made possible
our domestic supper joys. When man
first mixed his mulligan did not the
whole tribe put on sackcloth and ashes

WHY EUROPE Is AT WAR.

Whatever may be the result OF this
great conflict. or the verdict of history
as to the responsibility Of each nation
in the premises. the heroic figure OF
the German emperor will loom
through the mist of battle and his bold
defiance Of the powers must ever COM
mand the admiration of the world,
writes w. Nephew King. in Leslie's.
Even the great Corsican himself never
faced such stupendous odds. and fu-
ture historians may say of the kaiser's
actions, as they did of the charge at
Balaklava, Ell was not war-but it
was magnificent"
The stakes for which he is playing
are the union of all Germanic peoples
and the creation Of a dominant power
in the world. Years ago he said that
Germany's future lies on the sea. The
great German empire has compare
lively little sea coast. The ports OF
Bremen and Hamburg on the North
sea are the only ones of importance
in the worlds commerce. The Rhine,
Germany's principal river, empties into
the sea through Holland, and its vast
burdens Of freight for export must be
trans-shipped in a foreign city, Rot
terdam. If Germany could possess
itself Of Holland and Belgium it would
have a magnificent littoral on the
North sea. and in addition to the COM
mercial supremacy that would come
from the great ports of Rotterdam.
Amsterdam, and Antwerp, as we'll
as several of. less importance
Germany would, through their possess
sion, SO strengthen her naval position
that she would have nothing to fear
from Great Britain. Her present need
in this respect is shown by the ex-
penditure of over $5O,0O0,00O for the
construction OF the Kiel canal, prin-
cipally for naval purposes. 1t gives
her a short and safe passage for her
fleets from the Baltic to the North sea
and affords a secure haven in times
of war. Its construction was neces-
STATED by her lack Of a strong naval
base on the North sea-
What sea power means to a nation
IN instanced by the fact that Great
Britain, a country comparatively in
significant in area, and not rich in
natural resources, has for centuries
held the balance Of power In the civil
lied world through the greatness of
her merchant marine and her navy.
Even Holland, a couple of centuries
ago, was a mighty power because her
flag flew from her vessels in every
part of the world. Germany's quest OF
the sea is a vita part of the plans she
has for future supremacy.

When People Surprise Us.

An unusually fearless and lively

really strange about it. Becky Is just

of fearlessness. Because she Is nat

she does not have the human capa-
bility Of feeling fear.

No human being is ever consistently

Consistency IL the one quality you
can make sure of not finding in any

And yet we are always expecting 1t

We can scarcely believe that Mr.. A.
is the most generous and soilc1tous OF
thoroughly self-centred man to US and
we do not understand this 1nconsist-
ency.
And when Miss B., who has hitherto
Sc emed q personification OF discretion,
falls in love and commits astonishing
indiscretions. we feel as II she had
been magicallv changed by some SUI
pernatural force.
But she has rot been changed. She
is simply showing another side OF the
oi6 nH with which the
least complex Of us Is endowed. Peo-
| pie are never mere persOnifications OF
some quality. That is the mistake tnat
the inferior novelist makes He takes
an abstract quality such az selfishness
or unselfishness. gives it a race ana

There's nothing surprises me more

One Of the good axioms to remem-
Der. suggests the Minneapolis Messen-
ger: THE city of happiness is In the
state of the mind
The worlds greatest work Is done
by men OF average ability, argues the
AtchisOn Champion, because too
many bright men Of unusual abilities
did not learn early in life that the
world trusts only men who can be
thoroughly relied upon. When the
world wants something done. be the
task large or small. 1t turns the job
strated his ability. Ability is almost
worthless unless it is supplemented
by reliability. The young man who,
through strict and regular attention to
business, gains the justified confidence
OF his superiors has successfully hur-
died one OF the greatest obstacles on
the record OF success.
The women have tag days, observes
the NortOl Champion, to promote
most every other public enterprise.
and why not a tag day for bachelors?
We have in Kansas approximately
fifty thousand bachelors and an equal
number of widows. Why not get
them together and solve two vexatious
problems with one marriage license?
Hard work. common sense and good
luck go hand in hand, as the Gridley
Light suggests.
Some folks are like fy-paper, points
out the jamestown Optimist: they
stick around in places where they're
not wanted.

Quette Tribune, that Columbus dis
covered America in 1892?

Mankato Advocate advises, the air
