SUNDAY SCHOOL STORIES.

For reasons. not altogether credit
able to our human nature, we have
fallen into the habit of characterizing
a certain class of tales of individual
goodness as Sunday School Stories
1t is true the literature produced for
the libraries of Sunday schools, at first,
and sometimes even now, was senti-
mental, pedantic and insincere. Invar-
iably and inerrantly the good little boy
or girl was crowned with a halo of
prosperity and glory. So false was this
to life as TO condemn this style of liter
allure TO public criticism and contempt.
To such degree was it carried. how
ever, as to imply that every tale of re-
wards for purity. for honesty or for
heroism was false, or improbable, at
least. In order to be true to life such
virtues must needs, it seemed, be
crowned with thorns and crucified.
Only stories of disaster. of misery. of
the miscarriage of virtue were and I'M
fortunately, still are considered real
istic."
So true is this that the beauty of an
actual incident in one of our many nil
itary camps will be discredited by
many minds to-day. 1t is not new. In
fact 1t is as old as history. 1t is the
story of a soldier boy who insisted up
on saying his prayers by the side of
his cot. in spite of the jeers of his tent
mates and who, for his consistency
and his courage. was made Corporal
by his Captain.
We read this story in our childhood.
The incident happened in the Spanish
War the Civil War. the Mexican War,
the Revolutionary War. in the wars of
the middle ages in the wars of the
Roman Empire. 1t is forever recurring
in experience and in literature. 1t will
recur until war has ceased: until
swords are beaten into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks" and
until boyhood has ceased to be what it
has always been.
And why should we call it sentiment
tai. improbable, fantastic and unreal?
II is one of the realest and one of the
commonest and one of the most beau
tiful happenings of human life. 1t oc-
ours in every dormitory of every board
ing school of America, every term. 1t
transpires in every camp, OF every
army. 1t is a credit to boyhood. 1t is a
glory to our civilization To sneer at II,
or to discredit ii. is TO prove oneself
base and ignorant, both. Not to believe
IL and to be moved by it to tears is tc
miss an emotion which is divine. We
are not ashamed to confess that they
fell from our own cold eyes. We loved
the boy, and we honored the Captain
who made him Corporal II is what
we would have done ourselves. 1t is
what every Captain would have done
unless his heart was dead In his bos-
ON: unless he had forgotten the moth
err at whose knees he prayed and was
too ignorant to understand that it took
more courage for that beardless boy to
say his prayers, under the contempt Of
his terminates. than to go over the top
OF a trench in Flanders.
We do not want to be credulous. We
do not want to be sentimental. We do
not want to encourage the idea that
'heroism win alwnsy be rewarded. But

Portage, WISE. r. Studenmayer.
who has been engaged in farming in
this locality for the past quarter of a
century. has made comparison be-
tween prices prevalent in 1892 and
those of 1918. Here's what he found !;
Hogs in 1892 were $3.50. now SIG;
cattle $3.50. now SIC: rye 40 cents, now
$1.S5; wheat 40 cents, now $500; po-
tatoes 10 cents, now 81; butter 10

and oats 13 cents. now rs cents. The
farmer says these are only few Of
the changes, and while agrlculturists
