has done his bit. Since the liberties
 of all peoples ares rnsnaced, >and any 'oofn promise only means a truce with
 eyranny and the enemies of fresd9n,
 vioiators of all law and the conspira-
 tors against thes ipeac cesand prosperity of all nations themselves sue for
 peace. To yield now. when the Huns is more than holding it's own would
 be a weak and disastrous act. Ger many while she is seeking peace by
 every device is doiag g simply to f. F. crime merits. Tie War will be oyEr- when the dragon fs dead C,re.. sr -s.-.; l.

 Way should we lose -o,s- tsn1pers and go mad over what some one says about usc If it is not true we can af- ford to smile. and if it is true. we should reform. instead of refaliating. When we come right down to bra tacks no one knows so many mean things about usftasa we know about ourselves. Arrzastute politician once upon being told z,hiss election aWas lost because of the lies his enemies had
 circulated about him, replied: "Let let them tell the truth," And know ing our weak points it is up to us to correct them rather than to deceive ourselves by .etternpting to cover them our character : scleaI1a as r it Is our hands, but we do not pay it half the atte ntion. -f2ds S@I'L'-,

 We yearn for. peace without a real izins sense how to find> it. Feneion ward things, but within the soul; we may preserve it in; the midst of the bitterest pain, If we will remain firm and submissive.", Peace has been discerned to be such precious jewel truth. To make peace now with The Central Empire at it's invitation would be to- confess the" entente is to blame for the war, the rape. of Serbia; the ravaging of Belgium and the north of France, the piracy on the. oceans, and every ruthless and : every inhuman thing whichs~has grown out of it.. The world could not, afford a peace at such a price. The truth must not only stand. but the criminals must plead
 We are having demonstrated just now the truth of the statement that there are three kinds of people in the world, the wills. the vents and the. two other classes seldom exceed in number the wills. When they do good causes fall fiat. There is no evidence needed to prove man was never de- signed to be unanimous, and the fact that men change from one, Class into the others shows the provisions for; balancing up iSsues- and regulating results we're wise. If we are with "the won'ts' or "the can'te', we should know why we are with them, and be sure we are prompted by reason not prejudice. It has been said he who is possessed with a prejudice is possessed with 8 which sees what it pleases cannot see what is plain If will surely make fools of us.
 have been wendering for some time where the English sparrow gets it's white markings I noticed one the other day which had every other tail feather white and not another white mark upon him. am not sure the English and the white -throated spar row do not fnter-mate, although Ab- bolt declares they will have nothing to do with one another. have seen many with white markfngs-eevera1 the past season; but I have never seen an: a1- bino in all the fiocks that passed under observation in A quarter of century. Since all attempts to exfer1ninate them have failed, they are likely to over come public prejudice and gain in pulp lie favor. An evidence of this is that the latest book upon birds places them with the weed -seed eaters and bene- fcial birds. It gives them "a human side" and lauds their a1fiity; but
 tien. most people are not aware plants or birds haxei any faculties in common with human beings. Hence. their prejudice.
 If you have a srudge you better look up it's age and figure out how much satisfaction it has ,.netted you. This isn't a; very pleasant mathe- nautical exercise, but it is one of the most profitable employments a man was ever engaged in. There is no sense in keeping ones self in an iff- state Because of sonic thing mean that has been done, or something unpleasant that has hap pened- TheH nHrxef :sef "a gfud&e is a elf-persecutor.: and since. he punish es' himself worse than lie does the enemy he cannot escape the fndict-l
