"A fundamental ideal which is not
ultimately reflected with greater OF
less fidelity in the law can hardly be
called an ideal of the age, but rather
the ideal of a few individuals or of a
class. Yet the ideal must precede
the law and frequently exists long be-
fore it crystallizes into law.
'The future of triumphant democ-
racy lies not in that way, but rath-
er in the way of less frequent cleo
ions, shorter ballot, the election of a
few officers specially fitted by educa-
ton and training for their offices, in
vested with the power to appoint and
remove subordinates and made respon-

tain the power of retaining control
of the heads of departments, not by
attempting to select and remove sub

SOCIAL DUTIES.

If you have time-and you have
you should sit down in your uneasy
chair and contemplate your social du-
ties. Catalogue them first, grouping
them under two heads that will Oc-
cur to you, and then exercise your
sense of humor.
After you have done this you may
resolve to reform-if you wish. But
the sense of humor will be your real
salvation. If it doesn't save you you
are a gOner.
OF all social duties you will find
that your greatest and most loved is
the composite one of keeping "hep"
with somebody who is geared faster,
socially and financially, than you are
This is the duty that, properly respect
ed, makes you fuss so ridiculously at
the grocer and the landlord about the
high cost of living.
Another well recognized duty is that
of becoming prominently sOlicitous
about the welfare of the heather at
home and abroad. This is a costly
duty that demands much sacrifice and
domestice activity; but it is worthy
for the heather, who get or 2 per
cent of the aff1uence displayed, need
the money.
There are many other social duties
that are not worth mentioning, but
it might do you good to think them
over.-Judge.

OUR SEASONS.
(By John Burroughs.)

Does not the human frame yield to
and sympathize with the seasons? Are
there not more births in the spring
and more deaths in the fall? In the
spring one vegetables; his thoughts
turn to sap; another kind of activity
seizes him; he makes new wood which
does not harden till past midsummer.
For my part, I find all literary work
irksome from April to August; my
sympathies run in other channels; the
grass grows where meditation walked.
AS fall approaches, the currents mount
to the head again. But my thoughts
do not ripen we'll till after there has
been frost. The burrs will not open
much before that. A mans thinking,
I take it, is kind of combustion, as
is the ripening of fruits and leaves,
and he wants plenty of oxygen in the
air. Then the earth seems to have
become a positive magnet in the fall;
the forge and anvil of the sun have
had their effects. In the spring it is
negative to all intellectual conditions
and drains one of his lightning.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.
(Atchison, Kas., Globe.)

lALCHlSOl, hdS., OlOUS.J
Patriotism rarely consists of voting
straight ticket.
There is also the sort of morality
that is due to cold feet.
Most men are busy enough not to
want to serve on a jury.
When a man says plain talk, he
means unpleasant talk.
A friend is a useful institution if
you don't use him too much.
Sometimes a line of hot air is dig
nified by calling it propaganda.
1t seems impossible for one to do
his duty and keep off everybody's toes.
When one is paying interest he
shouldn't lead too many reform move
ments.
Complications sometimes represent
that part of an illness the doctors fail
to understand.
1t wasn't a lack of raw material
which eliminated the shell game as a
side line of the circus.
If equal rights obtained, the woman
would get the same punishment as the
man if equally guilty.
Those who expect too much of wo-
mans refining influence in politics do
not know politics very well.
Evil as gossip is, you may have OBJ
served that a gossip never has to post
pone the performance for lack of an
audience.
Well behaved children are admired
more than any other kind, and the rare
specimen in other lines is also apt to
attract favorable attention.

Boy Who Had Imagination and Whose

were invited. This year the newly or
ganized Moline Fire Fans association
will be the host of the feast. But the
new association is going to do more

team representing the Moline Men and

The baseball directors are unable TO

only connection they have ever had
with the Kemmerling organization is
that the Three-Eye league park has
been leased to kemmerling for his

Then weigh and measure again. 1t
isn't question of how you look or feel
or what your friends say or think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story. and many thin men
and women we believe can easily add
from five to eight pounds in the first Ia
days by following this simple direc-
ton. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.

then priced. with electric lights and

however, that the name -Four Ninety
was really intended to express the
price, and that as soon as the com
pany's manufacturing facilities and
production justified it the price would
be $500
In the meantime the company has
completed what it claims is the best
motor plant in the country, has built
and equipped an up-to-the-minute axle
plant, has acquired a complete trans
