THE MAN WHO TALKS

| webs, which may catch small flies. but l let waSps and hornets break through" | We have seen Germans red handed in | crime given a few months in camps of 1 detention because there was no law | to fit the> cases: and we have seen American citizens who declined to be vaccinated (violated military disci- 1 pline) sent to a government prison for | IS years. In the face of such cond.f-
 tions it is not strange that it can be said there is nothing sure about law l but the eXpensei" The heather Chinee ! has laws which punish crime and re- | ward virtue; and we civilized folks
 have laws which fit little offences and
 let the virtues take care of them selves. Isn't it true that the law
 which is unjust murders reason?
 It is not so many ages ago that it | was bad boy who laughed in meet | ing! There was nothing bad in the
 laugh, for laugh long ago was ap-
 praised as worth "a hundred groans in
 any market." The laugh in meeting
 was simply a laugh out of order No l one should do more than smile in
 church, although both a laugh and
 smile are said to add something of
 value to this fragment of life" It is more than probable that boys are l guilty of laughing in meeting today as
 they always have been; but they are
 not and never have been guilty of
 laughing at anything divine. Their el-
 ders are often guilty of saying things
 funny. or saying things grotesuuely.
 It was Greville who asks because
 man was the only creature that laugh ed. does he not deserve to be laughed

 ii From the way things move nova | days Ubn xu0i11d think ntp ic the soul of business We are told 8
 treaty is scrap of paper, and we are aware that a promise may be stretch i ed like a piece of pure rubber. You and 1 know the man who goes and ) does a thing tho moment he realizes
 it ought to be done is not a common man, but q wonder! The At-once- men in real life are the ones who do z things in industry, business and gov ernment. Too many people are fol-
 lowing that Will-o'- WisD of Averice to "get something for nothing!" So in 3 fatuated do they become with this idea that they do not notice that those Q who are furnishing something for a nothing" have become multimillion- a aires. No wonder keen business men come to recognize that ten suckers are born every minute Who looks for wisdom in trade? Who looks for promptness in industry? Isn't every i body looking for a rake-off?
 Bird lovers who talk about birds
 should not be careless in their talk
 about the inches, for a sparrow, a
 junco. a grosbeak and a bluejay are = all fincheS. The finches include va - riety of large and small birds classi- f fed according to the form of theiI ' bills for cracking hard shelled seeds ol . Ty, to h aIo bon b,yo ah1 1t Il writer upon nature ''the inches" were g spoken of, and no one could tell wheth- e CT he referred to snow birds or COW 1t birds. If one is talking of goldfnche! if or bullfinches an allusion to them a. :, "the inches" would be correct enough H but since finch is not an individual ol u varietal name the finches" mean
 any bird large or small from the fox o sparrow to the Evening Grosbeak. Th q purple finch is linnet. Mind you e step,
