can often see the little maid of that

hang the little basket of flowers for

LOVE IS never BLIND
Little God May Do Strange
Things, but His Eyesight Is
of the Best.

ID marry Fred she had heard much
and read more about love. Love"
is this; love" is that; 'love" is the
other thing. Love" gives all; "love"
demands sacrifices; love" spells hap
piness; love" means misery, and so
on through a long list of possible and
impossible conditions.
Being perfectly normal man, Fred
had certain faults.
Some of them we're glaring, but Mir
lam, if she saw them at all, forgave
them because she loved him.
A friend said: Miriam, l don't see
how you can endure Fred. He's so
full Of faults. But l suppose love is
blind and you don't notice his short
eomings."
Then it was that Miriam consulted
Aunt Anna.
rs love blind, auntie, dear?" said
she. "Or does it give one an insight
into the real charm and goodness un-
seen by others?"
That depends, child, upon the kind
of love, and also upon the indiviG-
ual.
Surely from the many misfits,' the
many unsuitable matches we see, l
am inclined to say that love is not
only blind, but deaf and dumb as well.
You remember, my dear, Jim Mer-
lin, an avowed worshiper of beauty,
married Ellen Short, one of the home
liest girls in the village.
we see beautiful women marrying
perfect frights-coarse, ignorant men
and one scarcely can pick up a pa
per but one sees story of an heiress
eloping with a chauffeur or groom, a
boy marrying woman old enough to
be his grandmother, or a sweet young
debutante selling herself to the an
cient millionaire"
1T seems to me the only way we
can account for these vagaries of senti-
ment is that Cupid has suddenly been
struck blind, or long-distance tele-
scope enables him to see charms and
perfections in individuals that are quite
invisible to the rest of the world" re-
piled the younger.
Miriam, you have often said of your
own friends: I cannot tell what on
earth she sees in that man to love;
he's such an impossible person No
doubt some Of your friends say the
same thing of you and Fred.
Thus we go on pondering over this
mystery of love-love that comes with
out invitation, and sometimes goes we
know not where.
Il think, dear, the truth of the mat
ter is TINT love between a man and
woman is purely a matter of attrac-
ton, and that neither eyesight nor
Judgment plays any part whatever.
We love or we hate by instinct. 1t
is not matter of head, but of the
heart.
"A woman may observe in a man
every admirable quality, yet she can
not love him; yet the man who DOS
sesses many faults which she plainly
sees may win her love without even
trying to.
Men, you know, are curious ami
mails. One may pass by woman who
is endowed with all the virtues. the
accomplishment and the charm of
femininity, yet will marry a crude lit
tie butterfly of fashion with no claim
either to good looks or wisdom"

SAYS JAPAN MAY
YET EMBR0IL U. S.
Heinrich Charles Warns Gov
ernOr Johnson Of California
and Blames England.

Asserting that war between the
United States and Japan was immi-
nent. Heinrich Charles, secretary Of the
German American Chamber Of Com
merce, which has organized a publicity
bureau to give Germany's side of the
present war, yesterday sent a warn
ing telegram to Governor Johnson Of
California.
Mr.. Charles told Governor Johnson
that England was trying to draw Japan
into the European war. II Japan seeks
10 become master OF the Pacific, he
said. what will become Of the open
door on the Asiatic shore of the Pa
cihc?"
Governor Johnson had not answered
the message up 10 a late hour yester-
day. Mr. Charles telegram reads;
We respectfully call your atten.
tion TO the action Of England 10 draw
Japan INTO the present war. This IS
the same England that, during the
struggle Of the American Colonies
for independence, aroused the Ind
ians and armed them against Amer
lean patriots. England, having re-
fused 20 localize the European trou-
bles TO the Balkans, is not content
IN having modified the Russian
semi-barbariaus against Germsny's
civilization and culture, but has now
also dragged into the sphere of war
the Mongolans, and, through them,
the Pacific Ocean.
The japanese, being once let loose,
may not rest satisfied to snap the
small German colony in China and
establish naval bases at the Caro-
lines and at Samoa, giving them two
fortified hsrbors between the Phil
ippines aud the United Ststes. With
their enormous army and navy mobi-
lization they may use this oppor-
tunity TO make themselves the COM
plete masters Of the Pacific Ocean.
Already the status quo in that part
Of the world has been upset by Eng
lands periidious action, and what
will become Of the open door on the
Asiatic shore Of the Pacific?
There rs great danger that under
these circumstances the United
States might also be embroiled into
the Vorld-wide conhagration, and, If
SO. she has England to thank for il.
We maintain that this Is intended by
England, as she considers the United
States and Germany her most form
liable commercial rivals. Kindly let
US know your views by telegraph.
