A GENTLEMAN.

A man that's clean inside and
outside; who neither looks up to
the rich nor down on the poor;
who can lose without squealing;
and who can win without brag-
ging; considerate to women,
children and old people; who is
too brave to lie. too generous to
cheat, and too sensible to loaf,
and who takes his share of the
worlds goods and lets other PEG.
pie have theirs. comes very near
being q true gentleman.-Ex.

TRY THIS PLAN WITH HIRED
LABOR.

A farmer who had been sorely
tired by having his hired hands
leave in the midst of a busy sea
son hit upon a plan which he be
lieves has solved this difficulty
At any rate, it should be vel
worth trying by farmers who
have been depending on farm
labor of the more or less itinerant
type.
ent hired men to leave at times
when their services were most
needed" said this farmer, Il
sat down and worked out a plan
TO keep the hired man on the job
all the time. l inserted an adj
vertisement in the paper as
usual. nd,got the desired re-
suit. One evening a husky
young man. came to my house
and applied for a job as farm
hand. 1 didn't hire him them.
but asked him to take supper
with me, telling him l wQull
hire him after supper, if we
could agree on the price. After
supper l drew my chair close to
his and explained my plan. l
agreed to give him the regular
wages of farmer hand and his
choice of pig, a patch of po-
tatoes, or five acres of corn. l
was to furnish everything and
Ine TO care for it and get what it
! brought at the end of the year,
hut if he quit l was to pay him
f4r what work he had done and
his pig, potatoes or corn would
revert to me.
"Of course, he accepted, and
it is needless to say that he stuck
and worked like a good fellow.
z did not miss what his patch of
potatoes brought and I had q
good hand at all the year. Since
adopting this plan I have had no
trouble in keeping a hired man."

GIVE AUTO OWNER A
CHANCE.

The senate is contemplating
the levying of a graduated war
tax from $3.50 to $25 upon the
owners of automobiles to take
the place of the tax upon the
automobile manufacture. Con-
sidering the war tax already i'm
posed on the automobile owner
by the gasoline manufactures, it
would seem more just to let auto
maker bear the government war
tax. They might profit enough
to stand for tn. 0. Bee.

Cooper, the grenade expert" for eXami-
nation, who forthwith proved the contents
TO be ordinary water-worn stones. There
upon the military authorities of the camp
took up all this bunch of rumors and found
them false. "The only things we have
found so far in the camp that could be
exploded" said the officers, "are these
rumors of plots"
A similar case occurred at Vancouver
Barracks, Oregon. There the air was thick
with rumors the bread had been poisoned,
the water supply had been tempered with,
three mules had been found with stiff
Joints and had 70 be killed. Here, too, the
officers investigated these rumors and pro-
nounced them all false, with the eXcep-
ton of the one concerning the mules. They
stuck to it that their Joints had been
punctured with a sharp needle, allowing
the fluid TO run out and leaving the joint
stiff How it could be ascertained that
the stiffness was due to the insertion Of
needle the report fails TO state, nor is
the doubt whether "the fluid would run

tually been run down by the military au-
thorities and shown to be false. Thus the
commander of Camp Dodge, Iowa, several
weeks ago asked the newspapers ito coop
crate with him in offsetting the effect Of
baseless rumors of deaths, plots and
spies" The stories circulated about that
camp included one that a girl had been
killed by soldiers, another that a GeNnan
had been killed by a sentry while trying
to put poison into the camp reservoir and
still another that soldiers were committing
suicide weekly because Of harsh treat
ment. Il is added that some Of these
stories were circulated over Illinois, Min
uesota and Iowa through soldiers letters.
There was another story to the effect
that small bag of what appeared to be
smooth, round stones had been found in
a car loaded with crushed rock, attached
TO which was tag with the words (:
Throw these into the German trenches
and see what will happen" Here surely
was evidence of a bomb plot" and so
the suspicious bag was taken to Colonel

G Reign of Rumor Keeps the Country Jumping

at is estimated that not less than 2O,0OO
spies are at work in the United States
and there are indications that this figure
is conservative" The Prussian secret
police are represented as directing this
programme Of organized terrorism sna!
interference with the successful proseeu"
ton of the war"
This rumor-mongering is undoubtedly
having an unwholesome effect upon the
public mind. The newspapers are full OF
reports of excuses committed by excited
people in the name Of patriotism against
persons merely suspected Of being pro.
German or at any rate not whole-heart-
cdly American. Thus at Billings, Mont.'
some $50 citizens forced Herman SchwanS
to resign from the City Council because ne
refused TO buy a Liberty Bond, and forced
a German butcher 10 kiss the flag because
he tore up blank subscription form OF
the Liberty Loan. At Union City, Ind,
Fred Toephen, said TO be German sympa-
thizer. was taken into the country at night
by masked men and beaten. AT Coates
vile, Penn, last week, Arthur Hopes.
president of the trust company, was
forced to resign, and the Mayor advised
him to leave town TO escape the violence
threatened against him. He is a pacifist,
graduate Of Haverford College and ap-
parently Quaker. His offence was that
ne refused TO subscribe for the Liberty
Loan because he is conscientiously opposed
TO war in general The case of the Rev.
Herbert Bigelow at Cincinnati needs only
to be mentioned here.
Many things have happened in the
United States within half year-only
few Of them have been mentioned here
which may be regarded as symptoms of an
unwholesome, or even hysterical state Of
the public mind-the reverse Of the mood
calculated TO bring real offenders TO ap-
rrehenson. People are evidently in
state of excitement, Of heated passion. In
such state the imagination works wild
~ and irresponsibly. 1t was such a state,
but Of far greater intensity Of course, that
bred the Reign OF Terror during the
French Revolution. The religious imagi-
nation, similarly excited, caused the burn
ing Of witches at Salem, as it had caused
tie same phenomenon on a much grander
scale throughout Europe. In both these
cases there was also secret enemy at
work: at Paris, the arstocrat; in tho witch
craze, the devil Both cases should still
serve as warnings that any kind Of fanci-
ful stories can be created and can find
belief where mems minds are under strong
excitement and where secret enemy" is
present or suspected.

The Psychology of Rumor

spasms of herd fear. Whenever there
is a menace 10 the herd, whatever IS
form, the instinct Of gregariouSness
spurs men to defend the particular herd
to which they belong. All rumor is re-
lated TO menace. Turn again TO Mr..
Trotters page:
"The psychological significance of the
enormous activity of rumor in this war
is fairly plain. That rumors spread
readily and are tenacious of life is evi-
dence of the constituencies TO herd opin-
ion which is so characteristic of the social
instinct. The gravity of threat 10 the
herd is shown by nothing beter than by
the activity of rlmor. The strong stimu-
lus to herd instinct produces the charac-
teristic response in the individual of
maxmal sensitiyeness 70 his fellows
10 their presence or absence, their alarms
and braveries, and in no less degree TO
their opinions With the establishment
of this state of mind, the spread and sur,
vival Of rumors become inevitable, and
will vary directly with the seriousness Of
the external danger. . . The potency
of rumor in bearing down rational skepti-
cism displays Enthusiastically the i'm
portance Of the instructive process on
which il rests. II is also one Of the many
evidences that homogeneity within the
herd is a deeply rooted necessity for gre
garious animals, and is deliberately pro-
vided for by characteristics Of the gre
gGrious mind
