Group Immodesty.

Why is 1t that men who individu-
ally are modest to the point of timid-
ity are the very opposite when they
get together?
The United States has a number of
militia regiments which have attached
the words battling" and fighting" to
their names. They did this before
they were much more than organized
and they have retained the words
though tney have seer no fighting and
smelled only the powder of the tar
get ranges. There are clubs and as
sociations which gather, seemingly, for
no other purpose than to absorb fiat
terry. The sense of self-importance
is nowhere so concentrated, so humor-
ously tangible, as in the halls where
congresses and state legislatures con
duct their affairs.
We suppose that our friends, the
psychologists, have a many-jointed
word for this group immodesty. But
we wonder if they have a cure for it.
1t appears to be increasing in our
country, and Ii would seem wise, II
there is a remedy, to apply it speedily.

Sympathy, reverence, intellectual
equality-these are the foundations of
marriage, as of the nobler and deeper
forms of friendship. Look back on our
friendship, and ask: Would it have
been what it is without the vivid SYM
patty, which made us helpful to n
another? Would it have been what it
is if each had not found something In
the other which raised and exalted
him? If / had not found worth and
truthfulness and unselishness in you,
if you had not found in me (however |
myself fall short of it,, a striving to
hold up to you the ideal of worth, of
devotion to truth, of faith in truth?
And remember, friendship such as this
merges in marriage-it is meet and
right that it is so. But the marriage
must give you in the wife all-ay, it
may give a thousandfold more than all
1t takes away in the friend.-J. r.

JOIN LEARNED HIS LESSON
Fathers Little HomIly on the Evils Of
Procrastination Produced the
Desired Effect on Son.

John" said Doctor Brown to his
son, shat grass has needed cutting for
some days."
Eyes, sir" replied John. 81 am going
to cut 1t tomorrow"
at isn't very important whether or
not the grass is cut" answered his ia
ther, shut it's extremely important
you have the right state of mind about
getting at what needs to be done. There
is a legend that satan once offered a
prize to the demon who should suggest
the surest method Of damning mems
souls. One brought forward a most
brilliant argument to demonstrate the
futility of goodness. Another most
luringly pictured the attractions of
evil. Another proposed that the satanic
legions should admit the wisdom and
the glory of righteousness, but should
concentrate their powers on ~persuading
men to put off the day when they
should begin to practice righteousness.
Satan is said TO have awarded his
prize to that suggestion.
"There is no question: continued the
doctor, that the greatest enemy to
goodness in the world is p~rocrastina-
ton. Every man that lives ear some
day to lead a good life. You have seen
that little placard on Office walls, DC 1t
NowF 1t ought to be before u eyes
wherever we go. 1t ought to be writ
ten In minds. Just as loon as we
discern the right thing to be done, we
ought to set about doing 1t without de-
lay. If we delay today, It's twice as
easy to delay again tomorrow. Get the
habit, John, in small things. If the
grass ought to be cut now, then require
of yourself that you cut 1t now. If your
Latin ought to be prepared now, then
don't risk the chance of getting the
procrastinating habit by putting 1t off
TO another time. / don't urge you to
plunge into things without thinking.
Take all the time you need to come to
your conclusions. But when your
judgment tells you a thing surely ought
to be done, get at 1t at the first possible
moment. Do Ii nowl"

AFTER MANY YEARS OF WORK
Commission Finally Publishes Its
Findings, and, as Usual, the Tax
payers Foot the Bill.

A dog once bit a boys leg, so h
latter's father promptly sued the own
er of the animal. After much wrang-
ling the case was submitted to an In
dependent inquiry committee, which
many years after gave their decision
as follows:
"We find the dog partly responsible
for the bite-not the owner, whom we
have established has no cannibalistic
tendencies. Considering the independ-
ent action of the animal, which point
ed to bones In the vicinity, it Is to be
regretted that the canine intelligence
did not consider the portion of leg
between it and the said bones.
"The boy is not guilty of negligence
in getting in the dogs way, and we
should compensate him, only he is now
a man, andit was a boy who was bit
ten. Likewise he has forgotten which
leg suffered.
"We are inclined to censure the dog
for careless discrimination, but 1t is
dead, so we unanimously conclude no
one is guilty, except the taxpayers,
who, having derived considerable en-
t%ertainment from the proceedings,
must now pay the cost thereof

SUBMIT IDEAS TO FILTER
EMPLOYEES of New York Business Firm
Are Encouraged to Put Forward
Their Opinions.

81 have learned a secret by long
experience that may be of value to
Others" says a New York business
man., the head of a large drug firm.
II have the oldest nan in the house
assume the position of censor. We
are naturally a progressive house, and
are always going after new business
In fresh fields. Our young men are
full of ideas and new ways. Some of
them are good, others bad. The young
man can never have the same slant
on such ideas that the man of ripened
experience has. SO every time a young
man gets a new idea he takes 1t to the
old man, whom we call the filter If
the idea isn't good, or has weak spots,
1t is killed at once. If 1t is good, the
older man perhaps adds to it or o. KS
it as it is, and it is put into force.

~ well. In this way we reach the

No ~Incumbrance.

A considerable commingling of social
classes, writes a correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, occurs In
our village, owing to the townfolks
practice of renting summer cottages
among us, and living therein in neigh
borly fashion with the working people
for whom the places were built. In
one such case the resident from town
was an unmarried lady; the genuine
cottager next door had a husband who,
to put 1t mildly, was no blessing to her.
Making a friendly call one day, the
wife was greatly impressed by the
pleasant air of comfort and well-being
achieved in a cottage otherwise the
duplicate of her own. She looked
round with a mildly envious air and,
with a little sigh, earnestly remarked:
"Oh, Miss K, you ought to be 'ap-
py-no 'usband nor nothin'."

superstitions About the Cat.

In its mental and moral processes,
aloof and mysterious, the cat has
been regarded since time immemorial
as possessing attributes suggesting the
supernatural. Thus one is not sur
prised to find ii a favorite companion
of witches. The Japanese look upon
Ii in a similar light, and one of the
folklore traditions of Nippon relates
20 a demon cat that returns TO earth
once in each generation TO Kill a men,
Der of one of the noble families of
that country-the Nebishima, whose
name is associated with a celebrated
pottery-in revenge for some ancient
slight to the feline tribe. 1t Is a theme
about which more than one japanese

Dog Protects Poultry.

A poultry man says that a dog Is a
great help in protecting poultry from
thieves. He owns a bull terrier, and
the dog is in the habit of going out on
the main road and waiting for suspi-
cious persons to pass. When one comes
in sight he never makes a sound, but
just drops behind and follows with his
nose about two inches from the mans
legs. The dog never really did any
thing. but the moral effect of his &C
lions was considerable. Il don't pre-

how to train a dog TO do that. The
terrier picked it up himself. No bark,
no rush he just goes shifting quietly

Directly in front of 1t stood a Behring

one thing for the whistling newsboy
to do, and he did it without delay or
