AS to Ideals.

People talk as if ideal was Il kind of
magic salve, to heal any kind of hurt,
individual or social. Put your ideal
high enough, and live as you please,
is the modern gospel. If your inten-
tons are really good, do not worry
about the ritual of daily living. A hum
dred magazine-pulpits are preaching
that doctrine. High ideals are held to
Justify the breaking up of the home.
High ideals are considered more inn
portant than fundamental loyalty
whether 10 an employer church, or
the president Of the United States.
And since no one would admit for n
moment that his ideals were anything
but high, this system simplifies every
thing in life except the consequences
it is much easier to have a high ideal
than to make it work 1t is some
times nobler to be true to the ugly
job in front than to soar aloft.-Wal-
lace Herbert Blake.

French in Caricature.

Why is ii, ! wonder, that the French
man always has been--and still is
portrayed in British comic journals in
the traditional guise of a gay boule-
warbler, wearing a Van Dyke beard
and dressed in a ridiculous velvet jack
ct such as the Montmartre artists
affect? Marcel Boulenger asks in
Cartoons Magazine.
Do you remember the legendary
Marius of Marseille, whose droll sill
houette was one of the masterpieces OF
poor Caran d'Ache's delightful art!
Such, or nearly such, is the portrait ac-
corded us--in the most friendly way,
of course-on the other side Of the
Channel. In the naive imagery OF
the British people 1t is thus we appear.
And no matter where this strange
gaudy parsonage shows up, Tommy AT
kins affectionately gives vent TO
cheers, for he has recognized his COM
rade.
But why under the sun should the
sympathetic Tommy picture us IKE
that? He should know better now. lie
surely knows that the average French
man no more resembles Marius than
does the typical Englishman resemble
Lord Dundreary But no matter. Con-
vention so orders.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS.

There is no way to stop it-this re-
turn of Christmas. 1t will break upon
the world once more with its song,
"Glory to God in the Highest, peace
on earth among men of good will.
That so many a land is stained with
blood, that battles rage in which mil
lions of men, brothers, are killing each
other by every means the brain of
man can devise, will make no differ
ence. Christmas will come.
Christmas !" One can almost
imagine the word saying to it, "What
are you Who believes m you A.? Who
ever heard your message? Little use
have this worlds children for your
gentle words of good viii and peace
Blood and iron and ill-will and death r
these are the words with which our
ears ere filed !"
But still the Day win dawn as for
two thousand years. Its message will
steal down through adj the roar and
din of war, and millions Of hearts will
hear it and know that against its celes-
tial music jars the wild clamor of strife
and war, know that it is only because
men have not believed the message or
received the messenger that they have
called good evil and evil good, know
that, after all, love is stronger than
hate.
While the war lasts men and nations
are growing asunder. There are
threats of hate that will outlive the
war and renew it in the realm Of trade.
This is the supreme hour for the
men of good will The past they can
not recall = the future they can save.
Above all, let this land be generous
in deed and word toward healing the
wounds that war has made. No mat
ter where our sympathies-the people
of each contending nation are worthy
our friendship and our honor. Never
did the world so need the Spirit of
Christmas as today. F. II. X. in "Our
Dumb Animals. "

FIND JOY IN BEING ALONE
Experience Which, Is Nothing Short
of Delight Is Recommended by
Lover of the Woods.

The art of being alone is worth cul-
tivating. Unless you have really tried
It. you have no idea how unusual and
refreshing it is City life, and even
modern country life are not conducive
to its practice. It is very different
from being lonesome and quite an
other matter from being i'll. 1t is
found at it's full flower only in the
woods, and its best development re-
quires some adjustment and practice.
The first experience is apt to leave
one somewhat bahled, if not fright
ened. We live SO much with other
men and with the evidences of their
activity that we hardly know how
much is ourselves and how much
someone else. In the woods-and it
need not be the remote wilderness
we can diyest ourselves Of all that is
not really part Of us. We can learn
how smaller perhaps how large-we
are. We can soak up impressions with
time TO taste them and consider them.
We can learn the true value Of wind
and clouds and sun aud shade. If We
feel like it, we can talk out loud to
ourselves, and there will be no one to
think us crazy. We can sing and no
one will tell us we are off the tune
IN short, We can be natural for once
In our lives-free from the warping
effect Of what other people think.
That is surely an experience worth
while.--Outing.

SEERESS ON WHITE MOUNTAIN
TO Perfection the Coming Of
a Storm.

I once knew an old woman who
lived under the shadow of the White
mountains, and whose instinct for
weather changes was almost uncanny.
She did not have barometrical bones,
either, as so many people maintain
they have. Her deductions were all
based on observation.
Once. recall, she was taking in
some clothes from the line at ten
O'Clock Mt night-a still, starlit night
without n cloud | saw her shadow
bobbing about huge and fantastic on
the barn wall, thrown from the lantern
she carried in her left hand. and went
out to ask her why she took the
clothes In.
"rhere want a cloud in the sky all
day" she said, ''and tonight the noun
Trims talkin'."
| listened carefully, and, Sure
enough in the silence l could hear,
three thousand feet above us, the
steady rush of wind through the stunt
ed spruce forest at timber line. Up
there the wind was roaring, then.
| thought Of Martineau's words, that
the noisy hurricane rushes silently
through the upper spaces where there
is nothing to oppose it-that force by
itself Is silent There seemed to me
something almost Celtic, too, in this
old Yankee woman's imagery. And
her prediction proved correct; the
next day came a deluge.-Walter

Black River Falls Journal: There is
much clamor over the country regard
ing the shortage of the coal supply.
The coal companies claim that they
are unable 10 get cars in which to ship
the fuel and for that reason coal
famine threatens many cities in the
northwest. Coal prices have been adj
vauced to famine standard, and the
consumers are being 'sweated" prop
erly. The railroads claim that they
are unable TO relieve the situation. In
September the net profits of the rail-
ways Of the nation were over $40. 600
600 more than for the same month year
ago, and last year also disclosed large
increase Of net profits over the year
before. For forty millions, 5000
freight cars could be built but divi-
dends must come before public service.
A couple Of weeks ago we were told by
a railway that in the yards Of one Of
the railways in this state there were
$50 carloads Of grain being held. and
that even larger amounts were being
held in railway ears in other yards in
the northwest because of lack of stor-
age facilities at the terminals With
freight cars so generously in use for
grain elevators, and the profits Of the
traffic going into dividends instead of
ears. the coal shortage" win proba-
