POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUTH
Too Many Accept Cant, Which Can
Never Be Made to Take Place
of the Real Thing.

Cant is the singsong of the self
righteous. 1t is praise and prayer
from the nose instead of from the
heart. 1t is a form of sin on which
even murderers look down.
There is some passion for truth in
us; we can forgive a criminal more
easily than sham.
Not but what we all take our turn
at being shams. There are few
reputable citizens who do not join
the chorus of cant some time during
their lives.
1t may be religious cant or political
cant or literary cant. In one form or
another it is as difficult to escape as
influenza.
Much as we desire truth, few of us
have the physique or the leisure to go
hunting after it, and we have to put
up with cant, which is simply shod-
dy substitute for truth obtainable at
our doors.
1t enables us to cut a presentable
figure before our neighbors, and not
only to deceive ourselves, but to de
ceive ourselves into the belief that
we are. deceiving others.

TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES
Care of Youth Should Keep Ever
in Their Minds.

Truthfulness should be held sacred
in all families.
Even the so-called white lies" are
dangerous. They add nothing to the
real family happiness and they are
bad in effect On the individual mem
bers.
Children are naturally truthful.
Often it is the falsehoods told by par
ents or older sisters or brothers which
start the child on the pathway of I'M
truth.
When you promise the child some
thing, do not forget or disappoint If
occasion arises when it must be a lie
or the truth, make it truth at the ex-
pense of everything else, unless you
can put it off by saying that you feel
you should not tell until some other
time
The little laughed at or winked at
fibs of childhood advance to the
bigger lies of manhood and woman
hood. The person noted as a child
for being unreliable in statement can
not at maturity enjoy the full conf
dence and esteem of companions, and
so loses the greatest quality for adj
vancement
Do not shock the confidence and nat
ural truth of childhood by lies or de-
ceptions which will SOW the seed of
untruthfulness and faithlessness.

Charms of Music.

An itinerant vender of that cheap
est of musical instruments, the mouth
organ, merely a bit of tin, was
whistling airs in lower Broadway, but
the crowd kept on it's restless way.
After a short wait the vender tried
another air. 1t was "Cavalleria Rus.
ticana." Here and there the crowd
stopped to listen First one and then
another, and then more, handed out a
nickel for the whistle. After he had
sold a number of his tins the crowd
began moving again. He placed the
little instrument once more between
his lips. The sound emitted filled the
street. 1t rose to the tops of either
side of the skyscrapers. 1t stopped
the crowd on both sides of the street.
The vender was surrounded by a
crowd which purchased his stock.
The music took hold of the mass OF
humanity and brought it to stand
still in the busiest street in the world

when he was counting. How Can J
Bear to Leave Thee"

One of Natures Mysteries.

Whence came the first globule of
sap? And why? How has it pro-
duced all of the marvellous forms? or
all the curiosities and mysteries of
nature this is one from which all
things are inherent and all things in
applicable. Let's not call it protozoa
or protophyta or by any other of the
learned names but simply sap" which
mysteriously assemblies its compost
ton from the grossest ingredients OF
earth and blossoms forth at the be-
ginning of the real advent of the year
in multitudinous phenomena of beauty,
to the glory of nature.

Stretches of UncuItlvated Land.

Although the Poles are no longer an
independent nation, the national feel
ing is as strong as ever. Though
Pole may not have penny, he Will
not part with his land. You there
fore see acres of uncultivated fields.
Their owners are too poor to do more
than Just look after the best ground,
and the rest Is left wilderness. This
gives the country a look of sadness
and desolation. North, south, east
and west, the earth lies in a great
plain, broken only by pine forests and
groves of birch. Even the sea seems
small beside this immense stretch OF
country, absolutely fat and devoid OF
life. The feeling that the land is too
big for the people and that nature has
overwhelmed them and their weak at
tempts at civilization hangs like a
spell over the country. Where the
fields stop, the forests and marshes
begin; wolves are killed there and elk
can be found, though they are becom-
ing rare.

CHAPTER vi.
Richard Nameless.

"There is no god but one God. The
Lord is great. l extol the sanctity of
Allah"
There was silence. The man bend
ing over the low uneven mound
Strengthened himself and listened, his
face turned westward to the red ball
of the sun. Beyond the crumbled GEM
etery walls a line of Arabs stood fac
ing the eastern desert, their hands
crossed upon their breasts, silent and
motionless in the awed suspense of
their worship.
The man who called himself Richard
Nameless returned to his task. Gently
and reverently he drew aside the cling
ing overgrowth and freed bent and
moldering cross from its burden.
"What is our faith compared to
theirs?" he said with bitter scorn. I'VE
plant the symbol of our belief over the
bodies of men we called brothers, and
then leave both-to rot"
Corporal Goetz' lean, white hand
dropped on to his knee. He was star
ing thoughtfully at the cross in front
of him. In the fading light the let
tiers stood out with a new distinctness.

Richard Nameless took a step nearer,
as though to look closer into the Ger.
mans SCARED features.
"Who are you?" he asked signifi-
cantly.

Nameless drew a step nearer. The fiue
features turned to the fading light in
stern, implacable self-judgment had
awakened awe and pity and a vague,
shapeless recollection.
He passed on. Instinctively Richard
Nameless drew himself up to salute.

For moment the mantle Of ruin had
slipped from their shoulders, and man

EnoIisn Conception Of State.

English writer's think of the state as
consisting of and existing for individ-
uals. Their fault is to exaggerate the
independence and self-suficiency of
the individual citizen; to be unduly
optimistic as to the results OF free I'M
limited competition between individ-
uals, and unduly distrustful of state
action. Yet English political theory is
of immense value in that 1t clings
to the fact that state action, like all
other action, has to be done by indi-
vidual people who will not escape the
failings of ordinary humanity by be-
ing in office; and that it insists that
the results of state action are to be
measured in the lives of individual cit
liens and nowhere else. 1t conceives
of the state as men working in COM
mon for the common good; existing
as commonwealth, for the sake OF
the commonwealth and for nothing
alse.-Atlantic.

''That fellow is dangerous" he
jerked back over his shoulder, and
passed on.
Corporal Goetz hesitated an instant
before the man thus summarized. He
measured him, and the recruit an

themselves on something beyond, and
their eXpression-that of a man start

caused the corporal to turn sharply.
A rare vision had appeared in the
dull, colorless square. The iron gates
had been opened, and against the back
ground of the green avenue beyond
there stood woman-a slender, beau
tiful woman, such as but few of the
lost, degraded inhabitants of those
white walls had ever seen. She came
slowly toward them, the lace sunshade
framing the lovely golden head, her
soft muslin dress revealing each
movement as something exquisitely
balanced. absolutely free and confident
in its youthful grace and health.
