ON SECOND THOUGHT.

ON SECOND lHSOSl1i.
I have kicked about the taxes, as
lot of people do:
I've often said I wondered what our
land was coming to.
I've kicked about the railroads and
bewailed the reckless way
That cash is sometimes handled,
which commuters have to pay,
But In spite Of my misgiving
About arbitrary rates.
I'm glad I'm living
In these old United States.
I've bewailed the tipping evil in pa
thetic flights OF song;
And expressed the sad opinion that
all graft is very wrong.
From gunman 10 philanthropis- I've
scanned the social scale
And criticised my country in a mel
ancholy wall.
Yet my joy | can't be hiding,
AS afar strange terror waits,
That l chance to be residing
In these old United States
Washington Star.

come from? What is your cargo?
Who is your captain? Where are you
bound? And the time will come when
we cannot Sc each other as we do
tonight, but the memory will never
leave us.
But l believe that more than the
mere memory Of our friends remains
with us. For in very real sen SO,
we enter into each others lives. Our
friends influence us, and we in turn
influence, or flow in, to the lives of
those we are with. That is why
Christ said For their sakes / sane
tify Myself and that is why we try
to live at our best. For in the words
Of favorite author: Friendship is
not sentimental affection, simply the
readiness to die for another. 1t
means living the very best life you
can conceive of for the sake of the
one you love; knowing for certain
that your life is flowing into that 9th
er life though you may never see
him again in this world. Love is
purifying yourself that another may
be pure. Love for one person, If it
be true love, leads one at once to
God, for God is love- So while we
may seem to be as ships that pass
in the night, we are in reality ever
growing into more eternal unity

HENRY SANOOz HURT
AS AUTO HIS BUGGY

was badly injured and possibly suf-
fered a broken leg, when he was
struck in a collision last evening be-
tween a buggy driven by Sam letter
and the Tempe Garage Roadster, pi-
loted by John Ahlquist.
Teeters' rig was standing in front
Of the Tempe House and Sandoz was
standing by his side, one foot on a
wheel talking to party of friends.
In some unaccountable manner, Ahi-
quist who was busy shifting gears,
struck the outfit in such a way that
Sandoz was thrown to the ground
and badly hourt.
Minor bruises were suffered and it
is barely possible that the leg was
broken. Luckily little other damage
resulted from the accident.

FLUCTUATIONS FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON
Announcement of His Ap-
preaching Marriage Brings
Shower of Congratula-
tions from All Parts of
the United States

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE presi-
dent and Mrs. Gait, whose engagement
was announced yesterday, were the re-
cipients of congratulatory messages
from all parts of the United States and
representatives of the foreign govern
ments. The telegrams came in such
numbers that extra operators and
clerks We're needed to handle them.
They were read together by the presi-
dent and. Mrs. Gait. The ceremony will
be solemnized at Mrs. Galt's home, or
one of the churches before congress
convenes in December.
An extended honeymoon is impos-
sible because of the demands of the Of
ficial duty of the president. Friends
are urging him to accept an invitation
to attend the San Diego and San Franz
cisco expositions after his marriage.
A short trip may be taken on the presi-
Dental yacht Mayflower. The presi-
dent gave up practically all ftoday to
receiving congratulations and calling
with Mrs. Gait upon respective mem
bers of their families. During the after
noon he went to meet friends at the
home of Mrs. w. H. Boiling, mother of
Mrs. Gait. Tonight he had as dinner
guests Mrs. Gait, her mother, Secretary
McAdoo and wife and other relatives.
When the president received callers
when they left or entered the White
House. he was wearing a broad smile.
Mrs. Gait, heightened in colos, laughed
and joked with friends. She spent the
morning answering telephone calls
from those who wished to congratulate
her. She was extremely shy when
asked regarding details of her plans.
I am very happy she said, "but
that is of no Importance. The less the
newspapers print about me at this time
the more l will appreciate it and so, l
am sure, will the president"
The president and Mrs. Gait, Mrs.
Boiling, Miss Bones, DR.. Grayson and
Secretary Tumulty will leave tomor-
row for New York to be the guests of
Colonel E. M. House, the presidents S
closest friend. They will reach New
York in the afternoon and the time be-
fore dinner probably will be devoted
to the purchase of an engagement ring
and an automobile ride. After dinner
Colonel and Mrs. House will give a
theater party. Saturday morning the
party will go to Philadelphia, where the
president will throw out the first ball
used in the second game of the worlds
series. Immediately after the game
the return trip to Washington will be
made by special train.
Members of the presidents cabinet
have taken a deep interest in his en-
gagement and it is probable after the
eW Philadelphia trip many infor-
NAL social affairs will be arranged

THE GREATEST BEAUTY

In the highest as in the lowest lit
erature, then, the one indispensable
beauty is, after all, truth; truth to
hare fact in the latter, as to some
personal sense of fact, diverted some
what from mems ordinary sense of
it, in the former; truth there as
accuracy, truth here as expression,
that finest and most intimate form
of truth, the vraie verite. Say what
you have to say, what you have a
will to say, in the simplest, the most
direct and exact manner possible,
with no surplusage; there is the
justification of the sentence so for
tunately born, entire, smooth and
raund." that it needs no punctuation,
and also (that is the point) Of the
most elaborate period if it be right
in it's elaboration.-Wa Pater.
