Omy has taken the place of eXtrava-

Knowing Too Much.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

KNOWING 100 Much.
"Oh. dear, 1 did hope L wouldn't
meet that bookkeeper today" said the
first stenographer. I'm late and I
know she thinks take too much time
off,
''what?" said the second stenog-
rapher. Did she tell you she though
that"
"Oh, no. said the first stenog--
know she feels that way"
How often we know how people
feel without their telling us.
And how often we are wrong!
Sometimes our sense of disapproval
on the part of someone else is only
the reflection of our own uncertainty
as to whether what we are doing is the
right thing.
Again, it really has some founda-
ton in past experience, but may not
be true in the present case.
And yet again, it may be a mere
Pigment of the imagination.
The person who is always feeling
that someone else dislikes him or her
CASUALLY the latter is another mem
Der of the class who know what peo-
pie think without being told, and half
the time know altogether wrong.
Many time the people she thinks
dislike her do not think about her
enough to like or dislike. 1t is a sign
of an exaggerated ego to hatter your
self that people dislike you just as
much as that they like you.
Another way in which we decide for
people what they think without Civ
ing them a chance to speak for them
selves is in holding mental arguments
in which we supply the answers of our
opponent. Frequently we make him
say much more unreasonable and dis
agreeable things than he actually
would, and then feel a sense of resent
ment and irritation based on these
things he didn't say.
OF course we usually base the argu-
ments on our knowledge of our OPP
ponent'S character and our past ex-
perience of him, and SO it is partly
his fault if we impute unkind things
to him. But people often surprise us
with their goodness. AS Margaret De-
land has said, there is only one thing
more astonishing than the badness OF
the good and that's the goodness or
the bad. So it isn't really fair to try
to argue for anyone.
The prisoner at the bar in the court
of law is always given the right to
speak for himself. Shouldn't we give
the prisoner at the bar of our judg-
ment the same privilege?
QUESTION AND ANSWER.
Question-Should I give an engage
ment present to a girl in our office
who has just announced her engage
ment? We have worked in the same
office three years-Letter Friend
Answer-If you want to give her

don't there is no obligation A gift
should be a capitalization of kindly
feeling, not tribute exacted by the
conventionalities Personally. I think
this multiplication of occasions for gift
giving is a misfortune. Christmas,

er, birthdays, when ones friends go
abroad, are engaged, married or have
a baby-these7 are few of the oc-
casions which punctilious people think
demand a gift. What will the next
generation add?

WAR PARTIsANs MUST BE CALM.


1t is easy enough to dismiss the
bombing of our national capitol and
the attempted assassination of one of
the foremost citizens of our financial
world as the work of an insane man.
! That, however, is nothing more than
lodging the grave issue they present.
Unless the people of the United States
let it be known in no uncertain terms
that such outrages are not to be toll
Grated and will be treated with sum-
mary punishment, there is no telling
what the frenzied partisans in this
country of the European belligerents
may do. The Great War has been
banded about as a convenient excuse
for almost everything of the unto
ward variety, economically, socially,
politically and whatnotically, that has
developed in this country since it be-
gan But no good American is going
to accept it as anything like an excuse
for such dastardly acts as this man
Holt has committed. And no matter
what a mans mental condition may
be, if he is sufficiently competent to
make and execute plans for the de-
struction of buildings and the murder
of defenseless citizens, he is sane
enough to understand that the people
of these United States, or the Ameri-
cans here, are not in a mood just now
to condone any such outbreaks of
anarchy. So others of the Holt ilk had
best beware. And it might we'll be-
hoove many of the Ioose-tongued gen.
try within the confines of our land to
cease their inflammatroy haranguings
on the European war. 1t is such talk
that breeds the crimes like Holt has
perpetrated.

DIAZ AND MEXICO.

And the death of Porfirio Diaz sug-
gests that it will be a long time before
Mexico enjoys the peace and prosper
ity that was hers during the larger
part of his incumbency in her presi-
dency. 1t is possible, though, that out
of all the turmoil that has prevailed
during the past few years below the
Rio Grande, there will come a new
Mexico that will be a better one for
all of its people than was the Mexico
of the Diaz regime. But it's price will
have been of terrible proportions, and
especially so because the civiliza-
ton of Mexico could have been re-
formed and developed to the ends de-
sired without all or any of the
bloodhed, rapine and other horrors of
anarchy to which her people have
been and are still being subjected.
And, unfortunately, some of the re-
sponsibility that such an orderly
course was not pursued rests squarely
on the shoulders of these United
States

POLITICIANS AND THEIR BOOKS
A sort of three-cornered contro-
versy is being waged between the
present governor of New York, his
immediate predecessor, and Comp
troller prendergast, as to whether the
last state administration left a deficit
of several million dollars, or a surplus
of few millions. This reminds one
of the claims of former Postmaster
General Hitchcock that ne had
achieved a surplus in the postoffice
department, claim which his sue
cessor fatty denied. And now when
Mr.. Burleson claims the same thing
for the present administration he is
met with the unfeeling invitation to.

Calthorpe called the canvas "A
Study" When it was hung and the
world of art had cast appreciative eyes
upon it, Calthorpe was no longer a
struggling landscape painter. He was
a portrait painter of rare genius-one
who could by mastery strokes of the
brush bring forth the soul of his sub
ject. His study could have been
sold ten times over. and the price it
brought finally was a triumph for
Calthorpe.
