London, June l1.--General Haig's

There was great rivalry between
the various artillery units In the
work OF getting their guns forward
into the positions that had been Sc

The Reader.

The gift of reading is not very COM
mon nor very generally understood
1t consists, first of all, in vast intel
lectual endowment free grace, 1
find I must call it-by which man
rises to understand that he is not
punctually right, nor those from whom
he differs absolutely wrong. He may
hold dogmas, he may hold them pas
sionately; and he may know that 9TH
ers hold them but coldly, or hold them
differently, or hold them not at ALL
Well, if he has the gift of reading,
these others will be full of meat for
him. They will see the other side OF
propositions and the other side of V1r-
tues. He need not change his dogma
for that, he may change his reading
Of that dogma, and he must supple
ment and correct his deductions from
it. A human truth, which is always
very much a lie, hides as much of life
as it displays. 1t is men who hold
another truth, or as it seems to us,
perhaps, dangerous lie, who can ex-
tend our restricted field of knowledge,
and rouse our drowsy consciences-
Something that seems quite new, or
that seems insolently false or danger
Gus, is the test of a reader. If he
tries to see what it means, what truth
excuses it, he has the gift, and let
him read. If he is hurt or offended,
or exclaims upon his authors folly,
he had better take to the daily pa
pers he will never be a reader.-Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson.

The EutiIitv of Maxir,s

ALI people of broad, strong sense
have an instructive repugnance to the
men of maxims; because such people
early discern that the mysterious COM
pleXity of our life is not to be en-
braced by maxims, and that to lace
ourselves up in formulas of that sort
is to repress all the divine promptings
and inspirations that spring from
growing insight and sympathy. And
the man of maxims is the popular rep
resentative of the minds that are guild
ed in their moral judgment solely by
general rules, thinking that these will
lead them to justice by a ready-made
patent method, without the trouble Of
exerting patience, discrimination, i'm
artiality-without any care to assure
themselves whether they have the in
sight that comes from a hardly earned
estimate of temptation. or from life
vivid and intense enough to have Gre
ated a wide fellow feeling with all
that is human.-George Eliot.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

When the growth of towns and small
cities is discussed with reference to
building activity, sooner or later the
multi-family house will be mentioned.
1t is natural to associate the fiat or
apartment building with a thickly-set-
tied community, the type being, at first
thought, one of necessity rather than
preference. 1t cannot be doubted, how
ever, that there are conveniences in
apartment life which appeal to many
people. An example of the eagerness
with which apartment rentals are tax
en- up is found in recent occurrence
in city of about 10000 population in
northern Illinois. This city, despite
its size, has very few apartment build
ings. Last year one of the real es-
tate firms announced it's intention tC
build modern department building
on very well located piece of land
nine blocks from the center of the
main business district. Rentals varied
from $40 to $65 per month. Before 6
shovel of dirt had been turned the
firm had signed leases for every incl
of space in the building.
Many cities considerably smaller
than this one have numerous apart
ment buildings which have proved tt
be satisfactory investments to theil
owners. These buildings are expensive
to build and their construction is sci
dom attempted unless the investor i:
safe in assuming that the demand fo1
them exists For this reason, the apart
