insect Authority.

Aesop and the author of Tom Saw
yer agree in their mental philosophy.
After describing the mental attitude
of some creatures Aesop says; The
smaller the mind the greater the
conceit. Mark Twain tells about the
officious superintendent of small Sun
day school in his showing or mo-
ments and calls It insect authority"
The species is common, turning up in
all sorts of functions and places. It's
that subtle something that wants to be
always in the limelight and has Moth
ing to show. It's the buster and the
bluH that takes the place of inward
self-control. 1t has no effective con-
nection with reason, it just sputters
and spits parade red fire, and fools
itself into thinking it's making an Inn
preston. 1t is, but it's one Of insect
authority.

GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE.

THE old familiar wish rings true.
A Happy New Year. friends, to you"
A man who keeps up the custom of
sending New Year cards to his friends
included this year a second card bear
ing these words:
''Instead of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good; to say
nothing i'll of others; to act kindly
even with dumb animals.
Live thus one day, two days. or
more. and compare the state OF your
mind with its state in former days
Make the attempt and you viii see
how the dark. evil Moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased
MAKE the attempt. and you win see
that the gospel Of love brings the
greatest and most desirable Of all
things"
ON these cards is written. This Is
Tolstoy's advice. 1t Is good 10 pin on
calendar where it VIII be seen every
day"

REMEMBERED
and
FORGOTTEN
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

'aThe heart is hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship. as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both, that is net
pleased
with sight OF others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
AT the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust of his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
it. Making new acquaintance is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they bios
som into friends, eemented by loyalty
and eonstancy, is a different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merrymakingAyer
they are still acquaintance only.
Friendship mems much more than
this, while few actually understand it.
Many one has counted up hundred
so-ealled friends today. But If adyer-
sfty assafls one tomorrow there may
rot be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold
the storm and darkness, If one is sud
denly bereft OF shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintance
find it easy to forget. Only friends re
member the past and its hallowed
memories.
A woman win remember every detail

Champagne Font, Sept. ea.-Last
rights bnrnhardment of tho German
lines preparatory to the attack begun
this morning was magnificent spec
tacle It was cloudless night and
thousands Of guns firing furiously
wreathed the skies with fame.
For six hours the roar of the cannon.
like the roar Of giant gun, was un-
broken.
The enemy is reported to have been
suspicious Of an attack somewhere in
the Chapagne sector or toward Briey
and for the past ten days was watch
ing this front closely.
During the forty y-eight hours pre-
ceding the attack he had increased his
reserves in this region from four to
twenty-three divisions. Prussian
guards defending vaquois. three d.yi-
sions in the line and one in reserve,
strongly resisted the advance of the
American troops early today. They
were instructed to- hold the town at
all costs.
BY generaY review Of the fight after
many hours II is eV!dent that 'he eh-
emy is stubbornly retiring to prepared
lines. This was the reason that his
artillerey reaction was inadequate dur
ing the earlier phases Of the battle.
The staff, work of the American
army was excellent. Continuous
touch was maintained between divi-
sions and reports are received without
delay. The transport OF supplies work
