WASHINGTON THE FARMER.

Valuable lessons may nearly always
be drawn from the study of great
mems lives, even though for greatness
there is no pattern, observes The
Youths Companion, and it continues:
The birthday of George Washington is
fit occasion for considering what
in his career might be most helpful
and stimulating to us in our own
smaller orbits. He has been made re-
mote from us by tradition and time;
the very phrase, the Father of his
Country, has transported him from
the sphere of men who merely
are, or hope to be, fathers of families
Yet he touched life at so many points
and left such complete and revealing
records of his homely interests that
for the ordinary American not even
Llncoln'S life is more suggestive. In
deed, of the two, Washington comes
more completely within the plain
mans comprehension; in Lincoln
there was more of the mystic; imagi-
nation played a larger part in his
achievement than in Washington's.
The distinguishing characteristic
eXemplified in Washingtons private
life was his love of the land If you
read his diary and his Mount Vernon
letters, with their dull and explicit
details of planting and harvesting,
their records of experiment for in
creasing production and improving
the quality of the crop, their indica-
tions of accurate knowledge and
minute interest in the whole field of
outdoors, you will feel ashamed to
think how little you have done or are
doing with your own small piece of
land you would hate to have George
Washington come and look at it You
Will be stimulated by reading those
agricultural notes of his; you will
want to do better work with your own
place And if you do not own a piece
of land, to read his life and his letters
will make you want to own one; it
will give you the healthy interest in
the soil, in birds, and dogs, and horses,
that perhaps you lack. Washington
was in his private capacity a great
producer; some measure of his pro-
ductive energy we should be glad to
encourage in ourselves and in our
sons.
Thinking of the dollar, trading. bag
Cling, buying and selling-aH those
things are inseparable from the life
of the ordinary American, and they
had their part in Washington's life
too; but he did not allow any of them
to usurp the main place in it, even
when he was leading the life of a
private citizen. He loved the land,
he tried to understand it and all that
grew and flourished on it, and he tried
to make it better and more fruitful.
He would have had little patience
with the slack farmers of today; he
would have had still less with those
clerks and money changers whose

THE BEGGAR'S WISH.

you must not blame me- she said, '1f
the beggar does not wish to resume
his form again, and if he wishes to
remain upon your throne you will
have to live a beggar as you have
wished
All went happily for a time with the
beggar king. He ate the rich food
from the kings table and drank from
a golden cup and wore the rich robe
and rode in a coach. Then one day
he saw one of his attendants drop
something into a dish of food, and,
being suspicious, the king gave it to
one of the dogs, which ate it and died
instantly.
After that he ate with trembling
and fear. His robes grew heavy and
he wished for the comfortable
clothes he wore when he was a beggar
and tramped along the road.
The cares of his kingdom weighed
heavily upon him, and his soft bed no
longer brought sleep to his weary
body.
The coach which he expected to en-
joy so much he did not care to ride in,
for he could only ride when the peo-
pie could see him and shout Long
live the king!" He wished many
times he could walk in the cool green
the trees as he did when he was n
beggar.
one day he stood by a window Of
the castle looking out just as the 9TH
er king had done. ana ne saw II peg
gar passing. "Oh, / wish / were a
beggar again. he said, land away
from all this shallow splendor." Now
it happened that the beggar he saw
was the king who had wished to be
a beggar He had found the life he
wished for harder than he expected.
He had slept in a soft bed too long to
be able to sleep upon the ground. and
the beggar's rags did not keep the
rain or the wind from his body.
He did not know how to beg and
he had returned to the castle hoping
to find shelter.
ooh, l wish 1 were back in the pal
ace" he sighed as he stood before the
gates.
You shall have your wish" said
the fairy, appearing again, for the
beggar is tired of being king. You
see that neither of you is fitted for
the life for which you wished, and
now that you are to be in your castle
again and sit upon the throne do not
complain, but be contented."
And to the beggar, who was in his
rags again, the fairy said: You had
your wish and lived a king, and
you find that those who live in pal
aces are not always the happiest, and
now that you are carefree again do
not wish for riches and the cares that
they bring. - Copyright, 1915, by

THE PEOPLE GOING HOME.

Common sense, said Emerson, is the
most uncommon thing in the world.
That was true when the sage of Con-
cord lived and during the past few
years the ability to see things clearly.
with freedom from passion and preju-
dice, has seemed to be even more rare,
says the Iron Trade Review.
But the greatest thing about the
American people is that, though they
are impuIsive and are at times fanatic
or allow righteous indignation to carry
them too far, they always get back to
and stand squarely upon the solid rock
of reason.
Il am going home" recently said
prominent Ohioan, who had been
carried away to strange pastures by
the false reasoning of agitators. He
was homesick. He was going back to
sound principles.
The American people are going
home. Some of those who have COM
planned the most, and often with justi-
fication, are leading the procession.
Writers like Miss Tarbell are finding
that business men are like other good
folks in really believing in the golden
rule, but now they more plainly see
their duty to the other fellow and are
anxious to do it.
The courts are also pointing the way
on the homeward journey. They are
erecting milestones that will stand the
test of time. For example, the other
day the United States district court at
New York dismissed the government
suits against the so-called shipping
trust. The decision was written by
Judge Lacombe, and three other
judges concurred. Stripped of all legal
verbiage, it says that so long as COM
panies are not guilty of unreasonable
and unfair conduct, but treat all men
alike as nearly possible, they shall
not be condemned. If they unite or
cooperate to advance their own inter-
ests without infringing upon the rights
of others, or if they act jointly to
bring about more satisfactory condi-
tions for themselves and their GUS
toners, they are to be commended.
Nor are they required to ignore the
customs of the ages. Special conces-
sions may be made to those giving the
largest amounts of business, providing
these concessions are uniform and not
secret. This custom, says the court,
is probably as old as trade itself.
Judge Lacombe says, however, that
the steamship lines must not refuse to
accept cargoes at regular rates unless
good cause can be shown. Hence the
court grants an injunction to prevent
such refusal.
All of this is simply getting back
home. Perhaps the old home is tidied
up bit, but it is the old home and
the people are going to it to stay.
Home, Sweet Home!
This going home means to live in
peace and harmony; it means an end
of vituperation; it means the estab
fishing of reason on a throne of JUS
tice; it means happiness and prosperi- ]
ty for the American people.

PURE ADVERTISING.

The legislature has a bill calculated
to put the fake advertiser out of bust
ness. 1t is a good idea, and will meet
the universal support of the newspa-
pers when the law is whipped into
originally introduced, however, this
for the truthfulness of advertising.
the writer ever heard of in the way
brings in copy for an advertisement,
in which he states he is selling gem
uine northern grown seed potatoes at
$1.40 a bushel. 1t turns out that the
merchant is crooked, and is working
off native spudS for fine seed pota-
toes. Just for printing that advertise
ment in his paper, the newspaper
man, under the proposed law, would
be subject to a fine. 1t would, in fact,
be an utter physical impossibility for
any newspaper to so censor advertis-
ing that the lies could be eliminated,
if the advertiser wants to lie. The
proper place for that penalty is on
the advertiser. Make the man who
profits by his deception pay the PEN
atty, not the innocent bystander. Sup
pose the merchant above mentioned
had printed his potato advertisement
on a hand bill. Under the principle
of the present bill the job printer
would be subject to a fine. Let the
legislature get right on this matter,
and every citizen as we'll as the news
papers will be for it Strong.-Newton

THE RIGHT VIEW OF TT.

An English newspaper, the Man
chester Guardian expressed thoughts
that must have been in the minds of
many Americans when it said, COM
menting on the LuSitania incident
that the change of flag by the fastest
British liner shocked our pride" and
that if such practice should become
general it would be not only undig-
nified and unworthy the nation
which rules the seas but also it
would be unfair to the United States
General adoption of the practice of
raising neutral flags, by British mer-
chant vessels, would refute Great Brit
aims claim that it rules the seas. 1t
is gratifying to see so fair a statement
in a British newspaper. AS it may be
regarded as a reflection of prevailing
British sentiment it may be believed
that the Lusitania incident will be left
to be the only one of it's kind.-1ola

1t all depends. of course, on whose
OK is gored. But it does seem to come
with pretty poor grace for Germany
to protest against the shipment of
arms and munitions of war from indi-
viduals in America to her enemies in
view of the incident in connection
with the United States-MeXican stu
alton of less than a year ago, where
q German vessel steamed into Vera
Cruz, then occupied by American
troops, with a huge consignment of
rifles and ammunition for Huerta
with whom this country was then
in an approximate state of war. And
while the American authorities would
probably have been justified in Selling
this vessel, or its cargo, at least, they
contented themselves with merely no
tifying its commander that his cargo
could not be landed in Mexico at that
time. There were diplomatic ex-
changes between Washington and
Berlin on the subject and an an
nouncement was made that the Ger
arms in Mexico for Huerta. But a
few days later, the same German yes
sci that was turned away from Vera
Cruz appeared at another Mexican
port, not occupied by the United
States, and under the convoy of a
German warship. and its cargo of
arms for Huerta was landed.

Now it happened that the king was
looking from a window of the palace
at the same time, and, seeing the beg
gar walking along carefree, said, 'Oh,
if 1 were only that beggar walking
along the road. He can enjoy the sun
shine, for he has not a care. He can
eat his food in comfort and without
fear that it is poisoned; no one covets
his throne and his life is not in dam
ger. He can quench his thirst from
the brooks that are filled with clear
water and not from a cup of gold
which hides the sparkle. At night
he can sleep where he will and give
no thought to the morrow. He does
not have to wear this uncomforta Die
robe or crown upon an aching head.
Oh, 1 wish 1 were that beggar,"
you shall have your wish,' said a
fairy appearing beside him, land the
beggar shall have his also, for I have
just seated him upon your throne"
AS he spoke the king found himself
in the road in front of his castle
dressed in the beggar's rags. The
fairy was beside him and told him if
he changed his mind to call her, but
