II 10 Good to Think, Act and Talk on
All Occasions Carefully and
Saneiy.

The best OF things, the best qualities
OF character. may be turned to evil by
excess remarks writer in the MIL
waukee Journal. The deepest sorrow
is not expressed by the loudest wall.
ing. nor the fullest Joy found in i'm.
moderate laughter. Lack of modera.
ton in eating and drinking carries its
own punishment. Let your desires be
moderate and your disappointments
will be few.
Be moderate in your praise OF an
other even if you think him hero.
Perfection is not of this world. Should
you too loudly sing his praises, others
will be the more ready to pick flaws
in him If he is found to exceed your
commentator rather than fall below
it the effect is better. Ones pArtiality
leads to magnifying the good and over
locking the evil, even to making plaus-
ible excuses Still more desirable Is
1t that you should beware of excess In
condemnation. You may have con.
ceived false impression of him. You
may not know all the extenuating cir
cumstances. BY voicing your dislike
or disapprobation, you may be doing
an injustice.
At the best, you are not helping to
right the wrong. Let the world know
by your conversation and conduct that
you believe in truth, justice and kind
ness, but be careful how you put 9TH
ers under ban as failing in these
things. Excess in love Is likely to
carry jealousy. suspicion and selfish
ness in its train. Even religion may
be carried to an excess that makes one
intolerant and fanatical. Such excess
makes the cause upheld unlovely to
many. Learn moderation and you will
make fewer mistakes.
Think your own thoughts and ex-
press them, but do not endeavor to
force them on others by too strenuous
insistence.

Queen Victoria. who detested tobac-
CO and banished It from her abodes
as far as she could, once received
a present OF pipes and tobaccos. She
had sent to the king of Dahomey a
basket tent, silver pipe and two
silver trays. That dusky old reprobate
replied that he hoped the next gifts
would include carriage and pair and
white woman, both Of which he
would appreciate very much; but sent
In return some native pipes and to-
bacco for the queen to smoke.
A curious feature of tobacco man.
ners among fashionable smokers of
the Elizabethan period was the prac-
tice of passing the pipe from one to
another, after the fashion of a loving
cup. In play of 1914, one London
gallant says to another who Is smok-
ing: Please you to impart your
emoke?" Very willingly, sir" says
the smoker. Number two takes a
Whit or so and courteously says: In
good faith, pipe of excellent vapor!"
The rich young swell carried about
with him an elaborate tobacco ap-
paratus, often of gold or silver. It in

it to take out tobacco. he could also
have a view of his delectable person.
However, tobacco had many enc
mics, and of these the most influential
was Queen Elizabeth's successor,
James I. author of the famous "Coun-
terblaste to Tobacco" One of his
most restrained denunciations OF ito
bacco drinking" was this: "A GUS
tom loathsome to the eye, hateful to
the nose, harmful to the brain, danger
Gus to the lungs, and In the blacke
sinking fume thereof. nearest resem-
bling the horrible Stigian smoke Of
the pit that is bottomlesse."
Through the royal example of James
and of his son, Charles I, smoking
gradually sank into decline insofar
as it was a fashionable practice, which
continued until well into the last CEN
fury. Thence arose the curious fact
that the pleasure-loving cavaliers were
not smokers, while the Puritans, sour
as was their hatred of nearly every
joy. we're mighty drinkers OF the
weed" The finds of pipes on the sites
of the camps OF the parliamentary
armies have been numerous. It is not
known whether Cromwell smoked: but
Milton smoked pipe at 9 p. m. every
day before retiring. However, in some
cases the Puritans contrived to intro
duce their religion even into pipe
smoking, for an old chronicler tells
OF Presbyterian minister so precise
that che would not so much as take a
pipe Of tobacco before that he had
first sayed grace over It,"

MECHANICS OF THE WAR

On more obvious grounds we have
been known since the days OF Joan

to which our gallant allies have re-
manned faithful throughout the CEN

exercised our wit on the supposed
passion of all Frenchmen for frogs.

War nicknames are curious study.
Probably there never was a war which
did not give rise to some comic or
offensive designation for the enemy.

lated monuments OF the Roman SOL

Indianapolis, Aug. 4.-Plans for

organization will put up an electoral
ticket in every state where there is
the neucleus of an organization left,
bearing the name of John M. Parker of
Louisville, nominee for vice presi-
dent, in. the hope of perhaps electing
enough presidential electors who
might prove the balance of power in
event of close contest between the
two old parties.
Among the states in which the plan
will be carried out are Louisiana,
Maryland, Indiana, Missouri, Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota.
j. A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey
was chosen treasurer of the rehabili-
tated bull moose party, and Matthew
Hale of Massachusetts, vice chairman

man Hale to cooperate with the fif-
teen members of the national COM
mittee who refused to vote for the en-
dorsement of Chas. E. Hughes, al
Chicago, June 26, in rehabilitating
the party. This committee will meet
after the November election to formu-
late plans for the perpetuation of the
party. These plans may include
some kind of amalgamation with the
prohibition, socialists and woman's
parties. Edwin M. Lee, state chair
man, cambridge Colby and others
