CAFE 10 COMPLY
 WITH SUNDAY LAW

The De Luxe cafe will not operate its soda fountain nor sell cigars and tobacco Sunday, according to an an nouncement by s. D. Wakefield, the proprietor, through his attorney. The restaurant proper will be opened as usual.
 MT. Wakefield, who was fined $50 by Mayor J. C. Dawson Tuesday on charge of Sabbath breaking, states he is in favor of a strict enforce ment of the Sunday closing law, and does not want to operate his business Tn violation of the law. However, he states he believes he has as much right legally to sell cigars and sodas as anyone else has to sell gasoline. newspapers, etc. The De Luxe pro- prietor, through the Log Cabin Democrat, Wednesday made propo- sition to the effect that if the mayor would see that the other places are kept closed, he would refrain from selling his goods.

POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUTH
Too Many Accept Cant, Which Can Never ee Made to Take Place
 of the Real Thing.

Cant is the singsong of the self righteous. It is praise and prayer from the nose instead of from the heart. It is a form of sin on which even murderers look down.
 There is some passion for truth in us; we can forgive a criminal more easily than 8 sham.
 Not but what we all take our turn at being shams. There are few reputable citizens who do not join the chorus of cant some time during their lives.
 It may be religious cant or political cant or literary cant In one form or another it is as difficult to escape as influenza.
 Much as we desire truth, few of us have the physique or the leisure to go hunting after 1t, and we have to put up with cant, which is simply 8 shod- dy substitute for truth obtainable at our doors.
 It enables us to cut a presentable figure before our neighbors, and not only to deceive ourselves. but to de- ceive ourselves into the belief that we are. deceiving others.

Charms of Music.

An itinerant vender of that cheap. est of musical instruments, the mouth organ, merely a bit of tin. was whistling airs in lower Broadway, but the crowd kept on its restless way After Q short wait the vender tried another afr. It was "Cavalleria Rus ticana" Here and there the crowd stopped to listen. First one and then another, and then more, handed out a nickel for the whistle. After he had sold a number of his tins the crowd began moving again. He placed the little instrument once more between his lips. The sound emitted filled the street It rose to the tops of either side of the skyscrapers. It stopped the crowd on both sides of the street The vender was surrounded by q crowd which purchased his stock. The music took hold of the mass of humanity and brought 1t to a stand, still in the busiest street in the world the old air your grandfather heard when he was courting. How Can Bear to Leave Thee"

Stretches of Uncultlvated Land.

Although the Poles are no longer an independent nation, the national feel ing Is as strong as ever. Though Pole may not have penny, he will not part with his land. You there fore see acres of uncultivated fields Their owners are too poor to do more than just look after the hast ground, and the rest Is left wilderness. This gives the country a look of sadness and desolation. North, south, east and west, the earth lies in great plain, broken only by pine forests and groves of birch. Even the sea seems small beside this immense stretch of country, absolutely fiat and devoid of life. The feeling that the land Is too big for the people and that nature has overwhelmed them and their weak at tempts at civilization hangs like . spell over the country. Where tho fields stop, the forests and marshes begin; wolves are killed there and elk can be found, though they are becom- ing rare.

EnolIsh Conception of State.

English writers think of the state as consisting of and existing for individ- uals. Their fault Is to exaggerate the independence and self-sufficiency of the individual citizen; to be unduly optimistic as to the results of free un- limited competition between individ- uals, and unduly distrustful of state action. Yet English political theory Is of immense value in that 1t clings to the fact that state action, like all other action. has to be done by indi- vidual people who will not escape the failings of ordinary humanity by be- ing in office; and that 1t insists that the results of state action are to be measured in the lives of individual cit izens and nowhere else. It conceives of the state as men working in com mon for the common good; existing as e commonwealth. for the sake of the commonwealth and for nothing elss.-AtlAntte.

TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES
Matter That Those Who Have the Care of Youth Should Keep Ever
 in Their Minds.

Truthfulness should be held sacred in all families.
 Even the so-called white lies" are dangerous. They add nothing to the real family happiness and they are bad in effect on the individual mem. bers.
 Children are naturally truthful. Often 1t is the falsehoods told by par. ents or older sisters or brothers which start the child on the pathway of un- truth.
 When you promise the child some thing, do not forget or disappoint If occasion arises when 1t must be . lie or the truth. make it truth at the ex- pense of everything else, unless you can put it off by saying that you feel you should not tell until some other time.
 The little laughed at or winked at fbs of childhood advance to tho bigger lies of manhood and woman. hood. The person noted as a child for being unreliable in statement can. not at maturity enjoy the full conf, dence and esteem of companions, and so loses the greatest quality for ad. vancement.
 Do not shock the confidence and nat. ural truth of childhood by lies sr de. captions which will SOW the seed of untruthfulness and faithlessness.
