Goodness and humility do not impress

Loyalty we sneer az. Truth and honor

Goodness is not snowy: humility surely

We live at a very high rate Of speed

as scenery seems 10 whirl past a rapidly
moving express train. And we have so
little perspective on events that we COM
placently feel that we are fairly stable
and stationary and that It Is the world
that is flashing by.
As n matter of fact. most OF us have
hurried our lives into the express train
class and we are flashing by the world
without taking time to examine II care
fully and Judiciously,
The only things we really notice in
life are those which project themselves
from the mass. The qualities in human
nature that make for peace and comfort

at least, they do not so project them
selves upon our feverish and hurried
consciousness. 81.

OF shams and posses. Brilliancy and

Hope for

up-to-date sanitary service than we have
ourselves in most OF our home counties
and not a few of our states.
So DR.. Heiser and his colleagues pro-

that It was certainly holding it's own, "

They picked out an island well wooded,

rounded by q wide enough belt Of sea to
be safely isolated and not easy to escape
from in a canoe. and yet central enough
TO be readily accessible from all parts
Of the archipelago.
Here they laid out and built two bea l.

harbor and landing stage, palm-shaded
streets and public flower gardens and

Gardens and small farms were laid
out, herds OF milk buffalo and beef cat

lepers as were physically able to do light
work, and a weekly steamer line estab-

Then the lepers were invited to cornt

couraged to bring her healthy relative,

by these relatives on their return, aideC

The Man Who Wanted
to Be Sincere

II will be sincere" said to myself
mo matter what It costs me, 1 will say
exactly what think at all times and all
places. / will have nothing to do with
shams and pretenses and conventions" &"
So went out and tried 1t.
To the first man met stated my posi-
tion and my intention OF speaking my
mind. The man grasped me by the hand
as though 1 was his long-lost brother.
You are the man for mel" he declared
I'm sick of the conventional humbug Of
the world We will be friends. you and /,
and we will always say exactly what we
mean to each other and tell each other
our real opinions"
I'VE WILL" said !. and as a start l
should like to say that the color of that
tie you have on does not suit you at all.
A man with your complexion should never
wear a red tie" But my new found
friend was a socialist, and he felt as
though he was saying his creed every
time he caught sight of his red tie in a
shop window, so, after a slight argument,
he remembered a previous engagement
and vanished.
] was somewhat puzzled, but went on
my way, and presently met nice, pretty
girl. and to her unfolded my philosophy.
I'm awfully glad you've told me-" she
said. Il get so tired OF all the silly things
people say to one. and I have so often
longed for friend who would tell me
what he really thought of me. You will,
won't your"
Il will, l promised. "Ill begin now.
You say you get tired OF people who say
silly things to you, but really you like
| them"
kuH
prided herself on being sincere, who ex-
planned to- herself many times daily that
she only did conventional things because
zone had to-" and so she was not at all
pleased. She told me in tones OF perfec,
politeness that was quite mistaken. and
went eff TO talk to another man who told
her what relief It was TO meet someone
who was not afraid Of calling a spade a
spade.
But, at last l found an old lady, a
beautiful old lady. who was not in the
least ashamed of being old and looking
old. To her made. as in duty bound
my declaration of absolute and uncom-
promising truthfulneSs. but instead OF
composing odes In my honor she Aat VI

Now, now" she said That won't dc
with me, young man. Ali the men who
want to pay the most outrageous compli
ments begin like that, and I've heard toe
many of them" And the more I pro
tested my complete sincerity, the less sh,
would believe me.
So what was 20 do? To try to be sin
cere with myself was about the only
thing left. After a few more experiences
OF the same sort. which invariably
brought the same results. I decided tha
real sincerity didn't occupy a very perma
nent place in this worlds affairs
