INVITATIONS.

Some people seek the genuine i'm
every kind Of thing,
Relieving that the counterfeits are
wholly on the bling.
They love TO snuggle warm and
close TO natures simple heart
They hold no admiration for the sub
tie schemes of art:
They clamor for the labor of crea-
tons honest hand.
And want all foxy imitators perma-
nently canned.
But limitations are the stuff of which
our lives are made.
They represent improvements of the
very finest grade.
The genuine original is often full of
cracks.
The imitation slick as grease and ra-
diant as wax:
And il would be the thing by every
one of us preferred.
Excepting for the stigma of a rather
decent word
The imitation virtues are magnifi-
cent and tall:
The genuine are often microscopical-
ly small.
The imitation vices are delightfully."-
refined,
Which cannot well be said about the
really truly kind.
fill my imitation cup with wine
that is a bluff.
And drink long life and happiness
10 imitation stuff.

THE fact that Mr.. Ford has voted
only six times in 81 years is in har-
mOny with his misconception of the
psychology of the European war
Lack of comprehension, except in
the most sordid sense, appears to be
Mr.. Ford's leading characteristic.

AS former Pres't Taft says, we
are too apt to think we could get
ready in a jiffy should war come.
Not that we are cocky, but that we
feel so friendly toward all other peO-
Piles thatNwe think war a negligible
quantity. Yet it took us three years
to get started in the Civil war, and
if we had had a first-class nation
against us in 1898 we would have
been in a helovafix.

EXCELSIOR UP To DATE.
The glooms Of war were falling fast
As through a mental aspect passed
A man who bore this strange device:

sneered.
The ultra Pre- kind even cheered.
When in the breeze the banner
waved.

They saw our treasure drained TO

But onward moved the banner bright.

The evils from Pandora's box,

He bravely faced the biting blast
And on the highest point at last
He planted firm the banner Of

PERSONALLY we have never
known of a woman taking advantage
Of the privilege. supposed 10 be oc-
corded by leap year. OF laying aside
her natural and acquired mOdesty
and popping the question TO the man
of her choice. This is not saying
women do not avail themselves Of
this privilege, simply that we never
heard of one And yet. we venture
10 say, there is no year in the calen-
dar of the past, nor Will be in the
calendar of the future. when women
will not indicate or manifest their
choice even if they do not go so far
as to ask the men they want 10 marry
them. Were this not true we fear
there would be little marrying or
giving in marriage, except for sensual
or financial reasons.
FEW proposals of marriage. we
assume, are made without some basis
for hope of their acceptance. E,x-
preston has so many variants that
it is easy to indicate acquiescence or
choice without saying a word. Under
standing has more TO do with the
mating of the sexes than language.

Some Bible Stories
BY The Rev. Geo. n. Wooi..r,

Boston Is the acknowledged seat Of
learning and culture In this countr,
--shamelessly acknowledged as sucf
by itself-and hence 1t was with nj
little interest that many o sB1ble read.
er some time ago encountered In the
daily papers an item which stated
that In a symposium" or Referendum
among teachers In the aforesaid
Athens OF America It had been yot.
ed that the Bible Is one Of the twenty.
i've best books in the world. NoI
was the interest Of the reverent stu
dent OF the Word at all decreased by
the evident surprise with which Ger.
tain learned circles received the news
that the Bible had worn this rare
mark Of favor. z
It Is plain that In spite Of the mar
Vicious history OF this sacred volume
1t does not stand very high In the es-
teem of a certain type of professors

start2ing discoveries eyerR,. mornIna

Hl6r examplg. the w. Of PRO-. Jac,
ques Loeb. Of the University OF Chi
cago.
The profound moral and spiritual
experiences Of which the Scriptures
are the repository and the true and
faithful record leave no impression
upon the shallow varieties Of the. pro-
fessorial mind. and hence leave no
impression upon a perhaps consider
able portion Of the culture OF Boston.
And yet, to how many millions OF
human beings engaged in q stern and
fateful struggle NOT with professional
theories and speculations, but with
sin, sorrow. sickness. poverty, be-
reavement, and the other realities OF
life, what tremendous living fact
this Book, Of books Is, and how insig-
niflcant are all the other books that
have ever been written compared with
it in the influence that 1t and they
have welded on human character and
ideals in the course of human history.
Truly the work Of this great and d.
vine Book Of glad tidings has not yet
been completed, for the world has not
yet been made all Gods and there are
millions Of hearts in which the Prince
Of Peace has not yet been crowned
king. But no other conquest equals
his conquest; no other worldly power
matches his power; no other force
has been one-hundredth us mighty q
factor as his gentle spirit in the con-
struction Of human laws and human
institutions, or entered 80 largely into
the fabric Of civilization.
So when the culture Of New Eng
land or the culture Of any other por-
ton OF our country or any other land
condescends to recognize the Biblo as
one of the twenty-five or one Of the
hundred best books, 1t condescends to
recognize the book which has made
all the others possible. How absurd
the condescension Of scholars to hui
manity,s living needs and living ex-
periences, anyhow. Mrs. Margaret
Bottome probably knew all that GER
tain professor know when she replied
to his supercilious question rs to
whether she really believed the Bible,
"Yes. do: ! know the author"
After all. the faults that the learned
higher critics find in the Bible they do
not go to It's roots. Many Of them have
asserted that it's geology and astron-
