NOTHING REALLY LIKE HOME
Occasional Journeys Abroad Merely
Serve to Emphasize the Delights
of Familiar Surroundings.

Do we not make all our journeys
largely that we may know the bliss
of coming home again? We set forth
bIithely enough (the need of change
is inherent in all humanity, and for
awhile we feel no regret for the ia
miliarity which We have left behind
us, asserts writer In the Atlantic.
We glory and rejoice in the new, re-
freshing our eyes and hearts, But by
and by comes the turn, the hesitating,
pausing and the slow looking back.
The glory around us fades as if a
cloud had come over the sun, and
behind us the glow rests on the dis
tant spot from which we set forth.
All then, according to our DISPOSE
lions, we run or saunter back. de-
vouring the miles in our eagerness or
protracting the pleasure that we may
taste fully. And when once again
we stand on the thresholds of our
quiet, familiar homes. was there any
gladness OF going forth to compare
with this flooding bliss of return? We
are back where we belong. We have
tasted novelty and have found it good,
chiefly as a spice to quicken the ia
miliar. We have filed our hands; we
would empty them now and fold them
and yield them into the hands of the
spirit Of peace. We have come unto
our own again and our own has re-
ceived us.

ART OF FRIENDSHIP DYING?
Writer'S Opinion is That Modern
Ways Are Not Conducive to For
mation of Closest Ties.

There is ground for suspicion, If not
conviction, that the art of friendship
is dying out among US.
The friendship Of the aneients was
very exacting. In modern times We
should look for Ions while for such
mutual regard as that of Damon and
Pythias. Friendship in our crowded
days covers a wide area, but as in
the case of all extensive development
it loses intensiveness. Instead of
friendships we have visiting lists. Not
those whom we love but those whom
we would prepitiate, We invite to din
ner. Those who would propitiate US
invite us in turn and permit US to
eat their food and air our views. We
live-alas in the suburbs OF each
others hearts.
The man without friends can accom-
plish very little in this world in this
age. Depending on his own strength
nothing. At harvest time he gathers
nothing but leaves and husks. But the
man with friends-strong, true friends
and loyal-who have confidence IN his
integrity and ability to do things, has
great power. Where he leads they
will follow him, and all working to-
gether unitedly bring victory. This is
The reason Why some men achieve
great success with moderate abilities,
while their more brilliant competitors
fall short
To have true friends you must be
one. The quality of loyalty you get
depends on the quality of loyalty you
give.-lllustrated Sunday Magazine.

Animals and Earthquakes.

One of the mysteries still unsoiyed
Is that of the sense by which the low
er animals become aware of the ap
proach of earthquakes. For three or
four days before a series of earth
quakes at Guadalajara. Mexico, the
many parrots Of the city showed
great and unusual restlessness. and
during the period of disturbance the
increased cries of the birds gave warn
ing of the nearness of the worst shocks.
Rats also became alarmed, fleeing
rom the city before the earthquakes
came Supersensitiveness to faint
shocks hardly give satisfactory expla-
nation, for modern seismographs are
very sensitive, and it is quite unlikely
that tremors too slight to be recorded
would be felt SO strongly as to give
alarm:

Praises Work Of Congress.

To the Editor: The thanks Of every
right-thinkinE man and woman is due
Congress for the passing Of the Kenyon
red light bill. Segregated vice - not
a necessity. but one of the greatest evils
created and supported by vicious men.
Let us hope the world Is growing better
and the time not far distant when no
one can point to place which is a blot
on good government and shame on
mankind. Let everything possible he
done for those poor souls willing to re-
form. Let US pray that those men whose
financial backing made those places pos
sible will he moved to contribute gen.
erously to the work undertaken by those
good people who are lending every ef-
fort to make life worth living for those
unfortunate women. Furthermore. that
the residents of the District Of Columbia
will cooperate with tho law in eliminat-
ing this evil. This can he done by the
owners Of apartment houses and the
Iaw-abiding occupants let them remcm-
hcr: Verify. we are our brothers keeper.
Much gratitude is due Tine Herald for
the wide publicity il mas given the mat
ter. thereby awakening good people to
sense Of their responsibility.

THE OPEN FORUM
shield the Girl whs Try.

To the Editor: No more worthy effort
can be undertaken than that Of rescutng
the poor girls from the underworld-the
gate Of hell Not having money to help
the work, l yet feel Justified in offering
sonal observation.
Much Of the effort will be wasted unless
protection can be secured to those who
choose the new life from recognition as
former inmates of disreputable houses.
Not all profiigate men are wholly lost
To any sense OF pity. Cannot the press
appeal to such men to be silent when
they happen to recognize on the street,
or elsewhere. any OF the girls whom they
may have met In such houses? i knew
CT an instance several years ago In Chi
cago. where a gentle ana trusting girl
was betrayed under promise OF marriage.
When she discovered the treachery she
was 30 upset that her thought OF revenge
took the form of throwing herself away
by entering a house OF ill-fame. After
iained work as waitress In hotel In
country town miles away from Chicago.
She was getting along nicely until man
came along and recognized her. Instead
OF appreciating her effort. and shielding
her Identity, he 'squealed" uhis is the
proper word to offer to the words OF
such a brute). OF course, the poor girl
had TO leave the place. Discouraged. she
sought asylum In the ever silent waters
OF Lake Michigan. oh, the pity of IT,

Solitude and Society.

All civilization seems ineffective to
eliminate from the judiciary the Judge
who would rather be witty than wise
and generally is neither. In the far
West magistrate is winning notoriety
by imposition of a "freak" sentence
upon a forger whom he condemned to
live as hermit for two years" The
man, who is fifty-eight years old, in
stead of being confined in prison fol
his offense, must live in a sequestered
place in the mountains and not visit a
town or city. He must avoid the So
ciety OF his fellow-men.
What this man needs is to be kept
away from temptation for awhile is
the sententious opinion of the COM
mitting magistrate, VINO showed himself
lacking at once in wisdom and in SYM
pathy, and certainly not possessed OF
more than the average amount OF
mediocre humor.
Humanity's most intelligent endeavors
in the twentieth century are based upon
the theory that man is inherently and
instinctively good, and that the indi-
vidual is refreshed and strengthened
and kept in good heart by association
with other individuals of his species.
The superstition that man is conceived
in sin and born in iniquity is largely
obsolete. and to regulate mans life
upon the spcciouS principle that other
mems influence upon him, and his in
fuence upon other men, will be in
evitably sinister shows lack Of sagacity
that is. to say the miIdcst, inappropriate
to the full rounded judge.
This man condemned 10 live as a
hermit may not forge checks and drafts
for the very reason that such forgcrics
would be insanely vain and improbable
/ 1t is not within the realms OF rational
expectancy. however, that solitude will
supply the deficiency of a moral sense
whose development, like its creation,
depends upon society. There can be
no differentiation between thine and
mine, when there is no thou to furnish
the possessive of the second person. A
hermit, whether necessity or, chance
has made him such, has no need, has
no opportunity to exercise his honor
and if that sense be already moribund
solitude may be depended upon to kill
it quite
No; this judge has done something
unusual, but he has done nothing wise
The hermit may come forth from his
mountain lair two years hence cured
of the habit of forgery, perhaps oblivi-
ous of its practice, hut his moral fiber
will be none the cleaner or healthier.
His lonely reflections upon honesty as
a policy may be highly diverting to
moralists. They may make a hollow
book. But the hermit viii come cropping
back into the midst of humanity. with
no more of honesty, with far less of
moral vigor and steadfastness.
