conceive how he finds any enjoy
ment in livins nor what goal he may
have that is worthy of his ambition.
Yet We should not forget that he is
brother in the human family that
all that goes TO make up the noblost
man is present in his makeup, but
that his mind has been turned in a
sordid direction and the nobler traits
have failed "a develop, or have been

people to make up this world of

children had always eaten their
meals; the trunk in which we stored
away the wedding dress in lavender
and linen. The attic was full of in
herited things we hated to give
away because they had belonged to
those we had loved. Who could ex-
plain all this to one who has known
orly Of the daily rush in modern city
life, where there is little time to think
of the past: where no one has time
or place for attcs?
When you have no more use for n
piece of old furniture you ship it off
to the auction room. Letters that in
the attic time would have been tied
up with a ribbon and put in a trunk
are either torn up or have been re-
placed by telephone calls or day or
night telegraph letters.
The modern apartment house, with
its limited space for closets, leaves
little room for anything but the
necessities of life. Practicality has
replaced sentiment. The storage
house catches all the things we can
not make up our mind to part with.
The president of one of the great
metropolitan warehouses said the
other day that II all sentiment died
out they would ''be obliged to shut
up shop"
With the settlement house commit
tees calling for all our half-worn
clothes, Bundle Day" appealing for
anything and everything we are not
actually using, war relief and mis-
sionaries in need OF clothing, the
modern child will never have the su-
preme delight of rummaging in an
old attic, trying on the gowns grand
mother used to wear.-N. Y. Sun.

MEN or SORDID MIND.

You all know this class Of man.
for he is well represented in every
community and could not have
missed your acquaintance. Some of
them are leading men in their COM
muuity and get honorable mention
on the papers. or perhaps even go
to congress. The kind OF man we
particularly have in mind is he who
has no conception of noble thoughts,
no high ideals. no understanding Of
Intellectual or spiritual excellence
in fact nothing but just plain animal
yet for all that endowed with the
faculty OF making what the majority
of people seem to consider a success
in life. Under the popular estimate
that the man who succeeds in amass-
ing wealth is the most successful
man we would be justified in laud-
ing his ability and judgment, yet
withal In our hearts We know he
lacks a wonderful lot OF measuring
up TO what deserves the name OF a
man. His ideals arc low and sordid.
his pleasures are animal. his concep-
tons are blind and deaf to the joys
or sorrows OF those who have minds
10 think and souls TO feel. In fact
he often seems to have q sort Of con-
descending pity for people with
brains and culture, Just as though
they were a necessary evil IN the
scheme OF nature and had to be en-
dured although they were missing
his high calling of lovingly sloating
over bank deposits. He doesn't see

and its title is THE Gentleman from
San Francisco"
1t is perhaps no exaggeration to
say that no other story that has ap-
peared in Russia in recent years has
been accorded such q warm welcome
as THE Gentleman from San Fran
CISCO" And this is the more remark
able when one considers that Bunin
is by no means a young or unknown
figure on the Russian literary field.
His reputation as a poet of high
quality was made long ago. lie is
now in his late forties. In 1912 the
honorary degree of academician was
conferred upon him, and during the
last 25 years Russian critics have had
opportunity to study Bunin's literary
powers and to learn their potentiali-
ties and limits. This, however, did
not prevent him from taking the lit
erary world by storm with his latest
production.
The Bulletin OF Literature and
Life. a monthly Of high literary stand
ard, was the first to break to the
Russian world in a recent issue the
news that Bunins new story is moth
ing like any of his former works. As
soon as attention was attracted to il
periodical press began to write about
1t, commenting THE Gentleman
From San Francisco" in glowing and
enthusiastic terms 1t became clear
to the Russian public that Runin was
Just entering his golden era, that the
creative genius of the poet had lust
found itself. and that the numerous
literary productions of Bunin consti-
tuted but the ladder of gradual self
perfection that led him to the apogee
Of his career.-Review of Reviews.

NENEERING THE BARBARIAN.

one philosopher defines politeness
as the disavuwal Of cgoism, and it
would be hard To get nearer to the
fundamental intent Of good manners
than that Politeness consists of
keeping self in the background and
fare and comfort Of the other fell
low. 1t may be a genuine sentiment
Of the heart or it may be a nice
v6ncering to cover up the ugliness Of
innate solfishness. In either way it
is a good thing. 1t is the oil that
smoothcs the track ana permits hu-
manity to go on its way without dis
agreeable jostles and bumps. Sin
ccre politcness is to be highly val
ucd, but even the imitation is "a
great boon and a quality to be culti-
waited. If you know how to be gen
timely unsclfish, well and good but
if not it is the part of politeness for
YOU to act toward others as though
you possessed that virtue We are
told that every one of us a few gem
erations back is descended from a
race of barbarians, and the province
Of good manners is to hold i'm check
the rcversion to type which the wor-
rics of life often tempt us to effect.
We may be a brute by nature, but
we must turn the polished side out
toward our fellow men And who
shall say the world is not happier
because OF this deception.
Hypocrisy is a contemplate vice,
but we do not want to make the mis-
take of thinking it our religious duty
TO be absolutely frank under all cir
cumstances. Frankness is a great
time or projected into the wrong oc-
casion. Franlness ceases to be a
virtue when 1t parades before others
the vilest instincts of your nature,
when it provokes disputation, when
il causes unnecessary pain or dis
tress You know lots of things that
are better not told, you think lots Of
thoughts that it is sinful to put into
words. and you often feel justified
in saying and doing things in the
name of frankness that can do no
possible good to anyone and are quite
apt to do a great deal of harm. SO
politencss after all is not merely the
saying Of excuse me" or beg par
dom" but it is one actual ending Of
tho things that sting and hurt, the
barehanded words or deeds that make
others feel Inundated or resentful
Some of you will remember the man
who boosted that he always called
a spade q spade" yet was properly
rcbuked by a friend who said: mo,
you call it u d shovel" That is the
kind of frankness that some people
boast OF, yet il is kind of frankness
that should be Stunned as you would
snake. 1t is not advisable to lie
litcness, but IT is nothing less than
our duty to leave unsaid and undone
those things which, while true, can
only make others miserable without
any corresponding benefit Polite
ness is not hypocrisy, but it is keep
ing you. your interests. your
thoughts, your desires, your impulses
curbed in the presence of the sensi-
blities OF other people. Politeness
is the sunshine Of good will pceping
through the riffs in the clouds of
sclfishncss.

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
The Modern Child Knows Nothing

What Is an attic?" asked n small
girl who has lived all of her life in
an apartment house.
Can 1t be possible that attics to the
modern city child are as obsolete as
horse cars. feather beds, husking
bees or buggy rides7 How could one

STRIkI\G \ BALANCE.

That Utopia where wages should
/ be high and the cost of living low
has never yet been found upon the
face of the earth and It Is reason
able to suppose that it never will bc.
Such condition is contrary to ma
ture. which demands a balance. For
a short time some favored localities
have shown signs Of such a condi-
tiun. but it was necessarily tempo
rary Just as We can convey water
we release 1t it hastens TO return to
sea level We must then be recon
cilcd to the proportion that high
wages involves high expenses and
can only be justified in complaining
il the rule fan to work both ways
and we find living expensive without
compcnsatnE greatness for the re-
wards of labor. There have been
times when mauipulators have cor
ncrcd "A market and forced up prices
without any increase in wages. with
these exceptions it stands as an
axiom that wherever the cost of liv-
ing Is high it is due to high wages.
Some one must always foot the bill
and. however big the pay envelope
grows. there must be an increase in
the necessities OF life to balance IT.
We might as well face the truth. The
high cost OF living Is due to the high
cost Of working. Higher wages for
the coal miners means that poor as
well as rich must pay more for the
privilege of keeping warm. Higher
wages for the railroad men means
an increase in the cost of travelling
TO the public. However we go about
II, whenever labor gets an increased
reward, the laboring man and every
body else has to bear a share in pay
ing for it. II is futile TO think that
we can improve the condition of the
laboring man without taking into ac-
count that all Of us will have to
help foot the bill The worker can
do more when he earns more, but
he has to pay a greater price for
what he buys. Prosperity Is COM
parative term. and consists in having
an income that exceeds your eX-
penses. without this proportion no
man can prosper, no matter how big
his earnings.
