HUMAN REALITIES

one or the most peculiar of the char acterisucs of humanity is that seem ingly innate desire to helittle or de- tract from the value of something which it does not itself conceive. It matters not if the object be in itself of importance or value or if il represent nothing of particular worth. the atti- tudc is, nevertheless the same. Let but a movement start even though it embrace the eternal good of mankind and il speedily becomes the object of sheers and criticism. He who raises his thoughts above his sordid environ ment and draws from the infinite some beautiful and wondrous wisdom must guard his head from the hurtling clods east upon him from every side. If one rises above his fellows even though be-
 cause of most superlative merit he will hear a thousand voices crying in deri- sion of his worth If John. the blow boy. dares by thought and labor To rise to heights of fame, his fellow vokels sneeringly question: Why: he is not different from we" It matters not

what one does If 1t be above the range of ordinary deeds a thousand carping voices are ready to decry Few of those who sought to lift the world above its sordid circle, that the world has not crucified. Few indeed of the great benefits that humanity now en- joys that have not suffered at their birth from manliinds bitter scorn. In deed, it seems that to be, even by an infnitesmal fraction, above the dead level of mediocritv is looked upon, in a measure, as q crime.
 Let some damsel of the village ven- ture forth among her sisters clad in manner a la mode and the whispers. scarce concealed, give ringing notice that Jane is marked for envy or for worse Let Jones, of the city. buy an auto or sparkling gegaw to bedeok the person of his wife and this peculiar trait becomes manifest in the whispered question. WI here does ne get the money?" It's most peculiar world my masters and there is no accounting for all It's manifestations, not even by the philosophers who have striven to throw some light upon it's ways. Dare
 to do right and you make enemies. Seek to advance and you find scorn of your efforts on every side and ready
 hands to pull you back. Try to be all
 that is good and kind and helpful to
 your fellow creatures and while you
 may have the blessings of those whom you have helped in trouble or comforted i in affliction, you must not expect but 1 that you will find plenty to question
 your motives and helittle whatever
 credit you have gained And this, friends. in a great grand world, teemng

THE GERMAN NOTE.

The note delivered to the German government in relation To the damage or destruction of American vessels in the recently instituted war zone is evidently i'll the nature of an ultimatum and as such is a matter of grave con . cern as containing infinite possibilities of trouble between the two nations. It is clear that the government has de- cided to assume a firm stand in pro- tecting the overseas commerce of the United States and unless there is q most careful avoidance by both powers of causes of contention, serious difii- attitude Of the United States will. in d measure. be determined by the Ger cumstances. the United States is under the necessity of backing up the stand she has taken and cannot now very well retreat There is little reason to believe that there will be any difficulty, but as has been stated there are possi- bilities. It is very likely that Germany will do much to avoid a rupture al this time. at least, as the United States is in q position to do that nation no little harm without actively entering into the conflict as a combatant. What the German response will be cannot he guessed, hut it is reasonably certain that it will he eouched in favorable terms at least, and the vital possibilities lie rather in the future attitude of the shall enter the new war zone
