will DO more than offset by the cham

superior experience. The COW puncher

the big battle Monday. He was one
OF the greatest lighters OF all times.
Fitzsimmons fought johnson and
knows Willard intimately. He In eager

Is all for johnson as a fighter. In his
opinion the champion knows too much
for the Kansas giant. who will DO

"Oh, ho,'' said the little breeze, this

it's going to be much more fun than

doing just as she says l must do. Dear
me, but l do get tired of doing all

And Just to prove that ne meant
what he said, the little breeze sat
down under a bush and did nothing
for whole minuteI
At the end of that time, the little
breeze began to be bored by doing
nothing (did you ever know anything
that was as hard work as doing moth

what was going on about him
Maybe if l keep very STILL" he said
to himself. II will find something
that is interesting to do, and that |
don't have to do. L wouldn't mind
doing something like that, I'm sure"
So he kept his ears and his eyes
wide open.
In a minute or so, he heard a voice
say, NO, there will never be any in
this garden, because the old winds
know better than to bring them here"
And a voice replied, TOO bad, too
bad, I'm sorry, for they'd look very
nice on this pretty green grass
Now said the frisky little south
breeze to himself, what can they be
talking about? I guess I'd better get
closer. so l don't miss anything" He
crawled out from under the bush and
hid himself carefully under a great
leaf close to the voices
Maybe SO, maybe So" replied the
first voice but you'll never get a
breeze to carry them over that high
back fence-the gardener tended to
that"
The frisky little south breeze could
stand the suspense no longer. Would
YOU please tell me what you are talk

head out from under the great leaf.

En- ening Chat
The Charity Jag.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Charity, like mercy, is supposed to
be twice blessed; to bless him that
gives and him that takes.
And doubtless true charity does.
But there is also false charity, that,
instead of blessing, intoxicates him
that gives. What it does to him that
takes, depends on the cha racter of
the person. am referring to the char
ity that is given not for love of the
object, but for love of ones self, for
joy in the sense of power, for pride in
the sense of superiority.
1 met woman the other day who
had been on what / call charity jag.
She had been giving her washer
woman a pile of old clothes that she
had discarded in her spring cleaning.
She had just returned from taking
them to her and telling her how to
make them over and deciding who
should have what and so forth, and
she was fairly intoxicated with the
sense of her own generosity and wis
dom and power. She couldn't help
chattering to me about it and showing
her dissatisfaction any more than a
tongue can help saying things that he
wouldn't say in his perfectly con-
trolled movements.
She had been having a most pleas
urable kind Of excitement, and hav-
ing it very cheaply, since the clothes
would never have used again anyway
and from which she had carefully
removed anything really good in the
way of lace, trimmings, fancy buttons,
etc.
suppose this kind of charity has
it's place in the Sche me of things. 1
suppose there are people who will not
give unless they can get their mon
ey's worth in a sense of power and
superiority; in short, in a charity
jag. They absolutely require that
stimulus.
And then, too I am afraid there are
a good many people who encourage
this intemperance by being willing to
sell this intOXicant in return for ma
terial benefits conferred. 1 started
to call it charity and shrank
from the name. They know that
these benefactors like to see them
crawl in order to feel their own
superiority and they are ready to
give a certain amount of crawling
creatures, We call them pauperized
and we blame them. What right
have we: Who knows what extremes
have driven them to sell their birth
right for a mess of pottage? Who
knows but what we would have lost
our self-respect much sooner?
The charity jag is as dangerous and
insidious as any drug habit. If you
would safeguard yourself against it
try these three specifics-give more
generously, love more fully and be
more reticent about your charities.
