THE COUNT DUMBA.

Nothing less than the prompt ac'
! ton of President Wilson through Sec
rotary of State Robert Lansing in re
uuesting the recall of Count Dumba
/ the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to
the United States, was expected by the
American public.
And nothing less than the prompt
recalling of the passport Of ire Amer
lean newspaper man, James Archi-
bald, who carried the now famous
letter from the Count, was the attitude
of all loving Americans.
The propaganda waged by the Teu-
tonic nations in the United States has
gone far enough. It reached the limit
months before this day.
It has been violation of the neu
trality of this nation to permit the &C
credited nations of Europe to carry on
their pernicious detrimental and I'M
derhanded publicity schemes If our
great and noble President has erred.
it has been because he has allowed this
unlimited jabber to create a spirit of
restfulness and discomfort in our ma
ton, not only among the foreigners
but among native-born Americans.

A recent example of this unparal-
leled betrayal of the sacred honor
heretofore existing among the ma
lions of the earth is the sentencing OF
Gustav Stahl, the German reservist,
who swore that he saw mounted guns
on the deck of the Lusitania, just be-
fore she sailed on the voyage which
marked her untimely end. Stahl ad
mitted he lied, when the oath was
made, but the accredited German rep

How we go to Sleep

How do we go to sleep? How does Moth
er Nature charm away our consciousness:
The Springfield Republican tells us that,
first of all, she throws her spell on those
centres of our bodies that preside over the
muscular system, causing one group of
muscles after another to collapse. There
after, various powers of mind succumb in
regular order. First we lose attention and
judgment. Then memory goes and imag-
inatiOn wanders away in revelries of it's
own. Ideas of time and space cease to
control thought as gentle sleep-the nurse
of our life-draws nearer. Then comes
the turn of the special senses, beginning
with sight-eyelids close and eyeballs turn
upward and inward, as if to shut out all
light, the pupils contracting more and more
as slumber steals over us. The turn of the
ears comes-the power of hearing fades a.
way. The heart beats and the breath is
drawn more slowly. The heart beats from
ten to twenty times less frequently each
minute, or five thousand times less during
the night, while breathing is not only slow
er but much more shallower than during
waking hours. Temperature falls by per-
haps two degrees and the body loses three
times less heat than when awake, And so
at last sleep covers man all over-sleep
that shuts up sorrows eye.-Ex.

When Tempted to Play
the Coward

We all have days of Encouragement and
moment when we would be glad to run
away from our troubles and responsible
ties. In these times of depression and dis
enlargement, when we feel that we amount
to but little and doubt whether, after all,
life is worth while, there is always danger
of playing the coward; of doing something
we will be ashamed of later. 1t is better
never to take an important step or make a
radical change when discouraged.
When everything seems dark ahead and
you cannot see another step, then say to
yourself: ~ guess it is up to me to play
the part of man," grit your teeth and
push on, knowing that the gloomy condi-
ton will pass; that no matter how black or
threatening the clouds, there is a sun be-
hind them which will ultimately burst thru
You will be surprized to find what power
and courage are developed by this holding
on as best you can.
After becoming better acquainted with
the mighty reserve which is in you, you
will learn that you can depend upon it that
it will come to your rescue in the hour of
need.-Ex.

Good Nature a Great Blessing

Good-nature- blessing! Without
it man is like wagon without springs,
he has the full benefit of every stone and
way-rut. Good nature is the prime minis
ter of good conscience. 1t tells of the
genial spirit within, and good-nature never
fails of wholesome effect without.
Good nature is not only the government
Of ones own spirit, but it goes far in its
effects upon those of others. 1t manifests
itself on every street; it humanizes man; it
softens the friction of a business world.
Good mature is the harmonious act of con-
science. Good nature in practical affairs
is better than any other; better than what
men call justice; better than dignity; better
often the narrowest and worst place to stand
on one can find.
A man who knows how to hold on to his
temper is the man who is respected by the
community. And one who has a good
nature. successfully travels about as does he
who goes upon the principle little baggage,
but plenty of money! A man who is arm
ed with hopefulness, cheerfulness and
genial spirit, is one who is going to be OF
practical and benehcent usefulness to his
fellow-man. There are no things by
which the trouble and difficulties of this
| life can be resisted better than with wit and
humor. And let the happy person who
possesses these-if he be brought into the
folds of the church-not allow conversion
to deprive him of them. God has consti-
tuted these in man, and especialley when
they are SO salient in meeting good-natured-
ly the trials of this world, they should be
used. Happiness, at last, is dependent
upon soul that has holy communion with
its Creator-''for in Him we have life
eternal" Men also fail in happiness be-
cause they refuse to read the great lessons
found in the great book of nature. Happi-
ness is to be sought in the possession of
true manhood rather then in its internal
conditions. Henry Ward Beecher.
In the various ages from the old stone
to the present electrical, who can grasp
the true meaning of the tremendous change
or who. with the widest flights of imagin-
alton, can contemplate the advancement
that lies just beyond in the development
of the ''age of Light,

Your Better Self

"There is one person whose acquaintance
l should advise you to cultivate, and that
is your better SELF 1t was said in a sort
of Jest, because the man had pretended to
opinions that were not in keeping with his
general conduct, and so his sweetheart had
reminded him of the fact.
But when you come to think of it, this
dual personality belongs to every one of US,
and there is certain to be more or less of a
conflict all the time.
An old nurse used to tell the children of
far-off time that each day good angel
and bad angel perched upon the edge of
the bed as they were about to rise, and
whichever one took possession of the child
first would control his conduct for the day,
unless he could bring back the good angel
and Gust the other.
Most of us do not give our better
selves half the chances that we give those
other selves, and it must be a consolation
close the doors, shutting out every thingand
very body except those better selves to
whom we come face to face, and have it out
with them. For it is fact that your better
elf seldom meets face to face without want
ing to have it out with you. And if you
will refuse to listen and turn your back on
that better self you have only yourself to
blame if he does not come back at your
beck and call.
The world may have poor opinion of
you as it knows you, but if it only knew
hat better self, are you not confident that
t would put you on a pedestalf And just
for change this one day, let your better
| Self have the best of it, and see how happy
you will be at the end of it.

Blinded by the Glare

There are many people, says DR.. Jowet,
who have been blinded by the worldly glare.
If we gaze upon something very dazzling.
it makes us incompetent to see anything
else. If we look at the fierce headlights of
an advancing automobile we become blind
ed to everything else in the street. We
can gaze so long at bursting rockets that we
cannot see the stars. The garish makes us
powerless to see the quieter colors; the
merely loud incapacitates us for discern
ing the serene. People who rush through
an exciting series of fierce and violent nov
els, with something startling in every para
graph, and something ghostly on every
page, lose their power to appreciate the
delicate flavor of the leisurely life, that
moves through the quiet pages of Jane Aus
ten. Similar illustrations might be found
in the realms of music and art. Eyes and
ears that are fastened upon the loud and
sensational become untitled for the percep-
ton of the exquisite beauties that hide in
the shadow, and Turk in the twilight, and
that rarely venture out in the burning noon.
And the soul which lives Increasingly in the
fierce, feverish life of the world, where its
daily journey is through one long garish
street, with never season in some quiet,
green pasture, and never an interlude in
some shady retreat, becomes blind to the
real dignity of living, to all the serene and
lovely graces, and to the calm, holy up
lands of righteousness and truth.

By G. l.. s.

By G. l.. s.
To use the talents that are given,
And ever do thy best;
To do the right, because tbs right,
And leave to God the rest.
To do unto thy fellowman
AS thou would st have him do,
And, most of all, to thine ownself,
Be forever true.
Forever keep the Christ-like life
Fixed firm in heart and head.
Be not content to preach thy creed
But live it all instead.
