HOW DO YOU KNOW?

TOW do you know that if you were in
n the other fellows shoes you'd do
L things bit differently from the
way he is doing them?
How do you know, if you had had his
training, his home and his ancestors that
your business methods would be any clean
er or any straighter than his?
How do you know, if you were placed
under similar temptations, similar home
conditions and similar influences that you
would be any stronger morally than he is!
How do you know your life appears so
stainless to your fellow-men that your
criticism is counted worth while or that
your judgment has merit in their eyes!
How do you know that your conception
of right is the Infinite's conception; flat
YOU will find more favor before the Great
Being who has the only right to judge,
than those you condemn so roundly!
How do you know?
How do you dare?
You've never been up against the other
fellows problems To judge as you are
judging to publish your judgment
stamps you as uncharitable unhuman
unchristian.
If you are so unfortunate as to think
the worst of people, in all decency keep
it to yourself
when you see tOttering human wreck
go by, and are thankful that you are not
like that, do not, like the Pharisee, count
it as evidence that you are superior be-
ing. 1t should make you humble, not
proud.
What if you had had that mans BIRTH
his heredity, his environment, his tempta-
tons, his tragedies? If you had, are you
sure you would have done better than he 2"

THINKING 1T OUT

DAUL Eastman, in writing of European
war conditions says the French peo-
4 pie are more at home with ideas than
either the English of the German. The
French see things through reason while
the others see them through sentiment.
Probably what is true Of the English
and Germans is even little more true of
the Americans of the present day. It is
rather appalling, when one grows intro
spective, to realize how few things we act
ually think out, starting at the beginning
and working our way through to some
logical conclusion, unbiased by what 9TH
ers have said or written on the subject.
How many people in this community
are actually "at home" with the ideas of
the tariff problem, the Mexican situation,
the preparedness program, or the more
intimate and nearer home ideas which
bear directly on the everyday life and
the welfare of the locality"
We are always quick and anxious to &C
cept the read-made opinion of some one
else, to see things through the tense of
sentiment which magnifes so dispropor-
tionately. Sentiment is the basis Of a

Our particular pet abomination this

The printer who boosts consistently and
constantly for the building up of town
and for the bringing Of business to his
town has right to expect that bankers,
merchants, professional men and county
officers will be just enough to reciprocate
by getting his prices and samples of his
work before sending out of town for their
print-shop merchandise. Some of Red
wood Falls business men are perfectly
fair and square about the matter and 9TH
ers are anything but that. The local pa
pers spend twenty-four hours, seven days
of every week, in city betterment- and all
they ask in return is fair and decent
amount of consideration and appreciation
which they don't always get.

Many editors have tired out, yawny
sort of feeling at the beginning of a
political campaign that makes them wish
they could do Rip Van Wrinkle stunt for
the campaign months. The big issues are

The newspaper that says it prints "all
the news" is a joke. If The Gazette printed
all the things it knows and all the things
it could know if it would but listen, its
publishers would be asked to leave town
on the next train-and deservedly so. The
only legitimate news which newspaper
laying any claims to decency has a right
to publish is the really beneficial news or
the innocently interesting news of the
community in which it lives and breathes
and has it's being. The newspaper that
is either yellow" or Icing and there
isn't much choice Probably no other
class of people save the telephone girls,
so thoroughly understand the art of "sit-
ting tight" as does the small town editor.
Sometimes he loses his judgment and slops
over, but these occurrences become less
and less frequent as the years slip by.

A young very young) Man-About Town
remarked that the robes de nuit-or plain
nightgowns if you so prefer it-displayed
in window of local shop, are not up
to-date because they are not trimmed with
fur at neck and sleeves. The lad should
realize that it's quite bad enough for mod
ern femininity to have feeling that there
is a mouse in the room, without having
fuzzy stuff at the throat to make her
think there may be one at even closer
quarters. The suggestion shows mas

~As I was coming out of a store this evening l saw an amusing sight," said shopper. "A light rain was falling, and as the woman in front of me stepped out she opened her umbrella. Out of it fell a jeweled hatpin, a pair of gloves and two mems handkerchiefs. On it's face it seemed like a case of shoplifting, but as she gathered up the articles the woman said:
 Well, if here isn't Mary's emer- aid hatpin and the gloves l was looking for last week and two of Georges best handkerchiefs. I nev- CT thought of looking in the um- brellas for them.'" "-N New York Sun.

Music.

Music as defined by the authori- ties is the art which employs sound as a medium of artistic expression for what is not in the province of literature, of sculpture, of painting, of acting or of architecture. It has been said, again, that music is the embodiment of the inward feelings of which all other arts can but ex- hibit the effect. In other words, music is an attempt at the express sion of the highest aspirations and the deepest fears of the human soul. After we have spoken and written all that is possible and chiseled our finest forms and painted our most beautiful pictures there remains a feeling that is not satisfied, and music is the effort to satisfy that feeling.-New York American.

The True Education.

A boy or girl who loves a beauti- full picture, a sunset, rosebush, a robin, sky full of stars, a fine old melody, a courtesy, generous deed and a good book is better educated than boy or girl could be without them even if he could work all the sums in algebra and parse every thing in Vergil.

OLD TIME PUNISHMENT.
Asony of . Day In the Stocks Fer .
 eit of Bad Temper.

Fit of Bad Temper.
 A record on file in the library of congress contains an account of the adventures of certain Hubbard, who in the good old days of the long ago was sentenced in Boston to the stocks for having indulged in an unwarrantable fit of ill temper.
 When he had taken his seat for the day there came along drove of swine, which seemed to cast upon him those leering looks that only fat pig can bestow. A dog follow ed, sniffing at the prisoners feet and making feints - unpleasantly approaching reality-of biting him. Then a cock, mounting to the very top of the stocks, crowed his de- rision upon the victim below, and presently a rough fellow, after in- dulging in ugly taunts, threw at him fetid toadstools and dead snake.
 Then an Indian appeared, who in d drunken rage, stimulated by some fancied injury, rushed at Hubbard with a tomahawk, probably intend ing nothing worse, however, than to give him a severe fright, which he certainly succeeded in doing.
 Help came from an unexpected quarter, for at that moment an old bull came tearing down the road. His attention was attracted by the stocks, and with a roar he prepared for charge.
 Alarmed in his turn, the savage dashed off. The bull made a dash at the stocks and carried away the corner post, but without even graz ing the object of his apparent wrath. Whether he was disgusted by the little he had accomplished or his animosity was thus satisfied, he started off, believing and shaking his head, much to the relief of the said Hubbard.
 And then the unfortunate man was left in comparative peace to his own meditations and the cutting sleet of November day.

 One neRs item stated that Clark : Davis kaA road 2s miles from .

N The Katalla district is probably the Egreatest boneyard in Alaska, of brok- Zen hopes. There is many an Alaskan who was prospective millionaire kwhen the Guggenhiems and the Brun- Fer outfit and the Clark Davis people and the English syndicate picked Kat alla for the terminus for the Boring eriver coal fields and for the oil fields. Property changed hands at large advances and everyone was anxious Il to get in on the ground floor. When the light of national politics changed the industrial map, many remained, knowing the value of the resources l in that section, but year after year they have been dropping off until but few now remain.
