But most Of them seem to me to
be concerned only with themselves
and they lose the greater attributes
and powers Of sympathy and forget
fitness Of self.
They always seem to view the world
and those about them in relation &c
themselves instead Of viewing them,
selves IN relation to the world and
those about them.

is the common sense OF today.
By the way. little book, I suppose
in your limited circle Of acquaintances
you TOO have learned that often tae

Oh, how l wish my own mother had
lived until now. I want to ask her
if she too had all these doubts and
fears when she knew that I was com.

sympathy is only bounded by the

when she thinks no one is looking at

GENUINE TRIBUTE TO 0
Robert G. I~nsersoIrs Eloquent Apprs-
citation Of the Qualities Of the
Center Sex

It takes 100 men to make an en-
canpnent, but one woman can make
a home. / not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created.
bu: / reverence her as the redee=iHE
glory Of humanity. the sanctuary OF al
virtues, the pledge OF all perfect quail
ties OF heart and head. It is not Just
nor right to lay the Sins OF men At the
feet Of women. It Is because women
are SO much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire Is the foundation OF his
love, but a wonau's desire is born OF
her love. The one thing in this world
that IS constant, the . peak that
rises above all clouds, the 4 win
dow IN which the light forever burns,
the one star that darkness cannot
quench II woman's love. It rises to
the greatest heights, It sinks to the
lowest depths. It forgives the most
cruel injuries. It is perennial OF life
and grows IN every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect harshness ror
cruelty can ext!nguish It. A womar's
love is the perfume OF the heart. This
is the real love that suhdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles Of art: that gives US music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings OF IRE.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

Zudora, gtv- Ing promise of great beauty, reaches ths age or eighteen. The uncle. who has set himself up aS Hindu mystic and Is known as Hassam Ali. decides that Zu- nora must die before she can have a chance to come into possession of her money. so that 1t may be left to him, the next of kin. Hassam All sees an obstacle to his scheme in the person of John storm. young lawyer, for whom Zu- dora has taken fancy and he com mands the girl to put the man out of her mlnd. Zudora insists that if she cannot marry Storm she will marry no one.
 Well, we'll" says Hassam All, If you take such stand I'll compromise. Solve my next twenty cases and you can marry him; fail in a single case and you must renounce him"
 ZudoTa, using the knowledge gained from years of association with her uncle, unravels a batflng mystery and wins her first case-a case in which John Storm is saved from being conXicted of a murder nstigated by Hassam Ali himself

Justment from the false, artificial. in- Hated basis for business depression of radical or general character.
 Democratic tariff duties on the schedule of manufactures, with the ex- ceptlon of some of the more highly finished products, accorded to those in dustrles fair measure of protection against foreign competition. ,On wool and sugar and most of the products of agriculture, the cut was unwarrant ed. For the most part it is true that the farmer cannot be materially bene- fited by tariff duties upon his pro- ducts; but upon many grown upon the farm, he has foreign competition maintained under conditions which en- title him to the same measure of pro- lection accorded to the American man. ufacturer. This he did not receive in the Democratic tariff bill. But on the whole the bill was a PROTEC- TIVE TARIFF MEASURE, and inf nitely better and fairer to the Ameri- can people than the Payne -Aldrich law
 The investigation of Taft's tariff board proved beyond dispute that many favored industries were en- trenched behind the tariff duties of the Payne-Aldrich law, ranging from one to two and three hundred per cent more than "the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad"
 No such tariff monstrosity can ever be maintained. It may contribute to the political success of few Senators and members of Congress from pro- tariff States to contend for such leg islation. BUT IT IS SUPREME FOLLY FOR GREAT INDUSTRIES TO HOPE TO ESTABLISH BUSI- NESS SECURITY AND REAL PROS PERITY ON A BASIS OF WRONG AND INJUSTICE.
 Remember 1908, 1910, and 1912. Like conditions produce like results. Let that not be forgotten.

 Presently he sniffed. There was a faint odor of curds in the air. Beyond the wall was cheesemakers shop, and there one could buy anything from Camembert to what is known as & Dutch cheese. The diamond cutter dis covered that he was hungry. So he left his den, bought some cheese and rye bread and returned, soon to begin ! his labors again. During certain in- tervals of silence he heard without ap- parent notice slight scratching sounds. The furnace began to glow, throwing weird lights upon his lined and ecstat- lc cOuntenance

 A well-known firm recently obtained a large contract from the British War Office To insure its being carried out to time it was necessary for the mechanics to wCrk overtime. This they were perfectly willing to do, be- ing well paid at the union rates.
 After few days the secretary of a union called upon the head of the firm concerned and advised him that un- less the overtime was stopped all the "hands" would be called out. As there seemed no way out of it, the em- ployer went to the War Office, succeed ed in seeing Lord Kitchener and plac- ed the particulars before him.
 Lord Kitchener asked for the name and address of the union man. and said; Be here tomorrow at l o'clock y At that time the next day MT. - was admitted into Lord Kitcheners presence, the union man being also there.

 The return to Congress of number of the old standpat leaders from Stat os and districts in which Aldrich has bpen the ideal for a quarter of cen tury is hailed with joy by special in noes is to be revived and labor is to be rewarded.
 Already the first number of the rrocram of a new administration is nnounced-"restore the Payne-Ald- rich tariff" The propose to "rescue our perishing industries" They are already counting upon "a large in crease in duties all along the line" Of course it will raise prices and in crease the cost of living. The con sumer will have to pay the piper. But what of that? We must have pros perity" at any price.
 And the Wilson administrator has been disturbing business" It's prin- cpal otfense is that it has reduced the tariff.
 That there should be some business disturbance following a reduction of the high tariff duties was inevitable. That much of the depression was ar tiicial cannot be disputed. Does any rational human being doubt the tar if interests would fight to the last ditch Co maintain their unlawful pro fits? They had many times warned the public it would be unsafe to in- terfere with them. It was an open boast of standpat statesmen at the beginning of the tariff session under the present administration that "the protected interests would make the American people pay dearly for their folly in the election of 1912; that when a few million laborers had been laid off, and the balance had suffered a cut Tn their wages; that when the banks reduced the credit line and peo- pe were made to feel the pinch. they would be eager to bring Aldrich and Cannon back and beg them to make the wheels go round"
 The interests could afford to take small present loss on a manufactur- ed depression to restore their privile- geS of monopoly and huge profits for another long high-tariff period
 And so we had our season of "busi- ness deprossion"-a small measure of It the logical result of tariff changes, necessary during the period of read
