travelled through three or four sets of

version. After bit it is repeated SO
many times that it bears no reSem-
blance to the story as at first repeat

sip as sweet morsel, tell it and re-
tell it, until after awhile it is so I'M
real as to amount to positive scandal
and SANDER. Thus we find libel dis
seminating itself when as matter of
fact there was never any grounds for
talk in the first place.
1t is always best to really know the
inside and all other facts before tell
ing some of something you really do
not know the truth of or the facts
connected with it. This is where hui
man nature exhibits its weak side.
Many good name has been spoiled by
idle tongues that distribute gossip that
never had any right of being. And

FAITH IN ONESELF.

When person knows ii thing is
right he should give himself no more
trouble about it, for if he is correct,
it will turn out just as he thinks.
When Il man RACES and storms about
what he processes to believe, it is a
pretty good sign that he has no faith
in himself or what is the same thing,
he is afraid to trust God with it. And
yet cannot you see that truth in this
world is in the hands of turbulence
and wrath; that is, truth as men see
it? The lesson is this, if you have
faith in your own opinion, don't bother
other men about it. 1t will assert
itself in time. Truth belongs to the
cosmic evolution; it will appear when
the conditions are ready for it, and
not sooner. We cannot hurry the
beautiful necessity by any sort of
hewgag or tomjon. We must be kind
and serene while the concourse of
atoms work themselves into the divine
harmony. The more we yell and snort
and rage, the longer it will take

Believing in ones principles is the
development of truth always. Faith
in principle is the living of truth.

SHOULD HAVE AND DIDN'T.

Senator KnOX'S speech was highly
| lawyer-like in cast and phraseOlogy.
In order to show what fearful thing
we should be undertaking through the
League of Nations, he said that there
was danger that the United States
might become 1.-The owner in fee of a
tenant in common of European terri
tory" We had not known that it was
so terrible as all that. If we had only
been warned in time! Taft and Root
never told us anything about the fee
of tenant in common. But lawyers
are expected to be logical as well as
technical and in. one or two instances
Senator KnOX's logic limps badly. AS
an argument for not being so hard
and cruel in imposing terms of peace
upon Germany, he contended that the
loss of the war had converted the Ger
man people from the error of their
ways, and that they are now thorough
ly democratiZed. But presently it APP
pears that this is mistake, because
we weakly signed the armistice, "lack-
ing the wisdom to go forward and in
tlict a military punishment that would
have uprooted their philosophy of
force That is, we should have done
what Marshal FOch shrank from doing
sacrificed 100000 more men in order
not to gain peace and security, but to
uproOt philosophy. What is the re-
suit? We have left the German people
with their damning philosophy I'M
changed'-a people that will no more
cease to plot and plan to recover their
former high estate than did Satan
plunged into the abysmal depths of
hell And this from a senator who in
the same speech declares that we
ought to reject the treaty, have Con-
gress declare the country at peace, so

TURNING OUT OUR SONS.

One of the strange conditions con-
to some residential property is that
it would be the means in certain cir
cumstances of separating families of
a community Many young men are at
this time considering the question of
getting married. They have spent the
most of their bOyhood lives in the
village with their parents They have
grown up with all of the sentiment we
all feel for the home town, and now
that they are about to make contracts
for the marriage state, they can do
so only on the basis of being forced
to leave the communicated is, most
of them For the average young man
the requirements for the cost of
homes in Palisade, for instance, is
prOhibitive. In not single section of
PaliSade can $1,000 bungalow be
built under the present conditions. In
Il sense this state of things should not
exist. But it is one of the penalties
one pays for living in restricted COM
munity. 1t is another argument in ia
vor of common sense rules in apply
ing restrictions Restrictions maintain
Il certain aloofness, it is admitted.
But is this desirable. especially where
it separates young people who desire
to at least live where they can be
close to their old family fireside? 1t
is a question that needs attention, and
is being looked at by certain young
men in our midst with a degree of
doubt born of intense interest-an in
terest that is natural, as well as SEN
timental When we all get invitations
to the wedding of young Christian
Mann, it will be like the parting of
the ways, for the law says he must
be divorced from the home town. Is
it right? Fathers and mothers can
live here and unmarried children, but
We send adrift all young men who get
married and want to set up home
near the paternal homestead. What is
the answer, selfishness? Is that it?

GENERAL PERsHlNG's RETURN

The return of General John Per-
shing to this country has been made
this week in New York the occasion of
a great and memorable celebration in
his honor. The reception was the
greatest ever accorded an American
general, and it is to his credit that he
behaved himself like the true and
noble soldier that he is. The event
will probably never find another equal
in the history of our country. General
Pershing now takes his place in the
galaxy of Americans who have achiev-
ed form of greatness that will in
time make his name stand out among
the immOrtalS of all time. He did his
work in France like man, unfiinch-
ingly, with the dignity and ability of
a great soldier, and comes home to the
hearts of his cOuntrymen as fine, low
able and modest as when he so I'M
pretentiously went away He evil
IDENTIFY was taken off his feet by what
he saw in New York, but the dear
man may yet be eaten alive before he
finishes the demand for his presence
all over the country where people are
longing to honor him. The world loves
a fighter right, and Pershing fills the
bill.

nature. Big Ed. is not in politics for
his health-far from it. THIS talk of
his sacrificing his big business in
New York for the privilege of serving
the people is foolish. Any one can see
through it, If there is to be a petition
it ought to be in favor of big Ed NOT
running. The voters should never
want any man to sacrifice" himself
any more than he did at the last cleo
ton when he interjected a commission
government plank in his platform at
the eleventh hour and promised SOL
emnly to circulate the petition imme-
diately if elected, then went off and
bargained away what little principle
he had with the saloon keepers who
threatened to bolt him if he didn't
agree to deceive the people. And he
deceived them good and hard.

THE TREATY WILL PASS.

The "pOnS aSinOrum' of the treaty
of peace is Article Y of the covenant.
But for that stumbling block, accord
ing to some of those willing to accept
modified reservations, the fight would
now be all over and the world prac-
tically freed from illusions about eco
nomic affairs President Wilson'S
statement is that Article y fully pro-
tects our interests. If it is specific
enough to suit him and his aids at Yer
sailles, all of whom are men of astute
and critical minds, it should. suit the
general American public in view of
what he assures us is the intent of that
particular point.
The senate leaders, however, forever
aching for partisan advantage, and
more particularly because they want it
said that Republican senate made
the treaty what it is when it is ac-
cepted, are making every effort to
break the terms of the original COM
pact AS much as this is to be regret
Ieu, 1t nevertheless Is True tlldl lHtIt
is some considerable opposition to the
treaty. But while this opposition is
largely in the minority, it is yet enough
to do the damage intended if it is not
strangled. There is really very little
difference in what the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee want interpolat-
ed, but it is enough to, cause dissen-
sion, and President Wilson is holding
out for what he believes is peace
that will bring satisfaction to the
world for all time.
As for objecting to Mr. Wilson ap-
pealing to the public by taking a speak
ing tour there are so many precedents
for that act that it is not necessary to
more than mention the fact that Pres
ident Harrison, Mr. Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt did identically the same
thing But for Mr.. Wilson at this time
to be leaving Washington is an I'M
fOrgivable crime and neglect of the
public business. 1t will be all over
soon. for the treaty will be passed and
in acceptable form. That much is sure
dead sure.

ROSA BoNHEUR AND HER LION

There are few who have not seen
some of Rosa Bonheurs wonderful pic
lures of animals. One great picture,
entitled the Horse Fair" when eX-
hibited in America, brought 100000 E;
the artist received $4,000, and it was
worth the money. Rosa Bonheur had
a royal pet, a splendid lion, called
Nero" who loved her for her gentle
kindness She had occasion to leave
Paris, so sent him to the Paris Zoo,
expecting he would be we'll cared for
After two years travelling, she re-
turned and went to see her old pet,
but to her grief she found him very
sick and quite blind. He was lying all
alone in corner when his mistress
said Nero
Up sprang the poor fOrlorn fellow,
and, with great roar of welcome, he
dashed himself so eagerly against the
cage to greet his beloved mistress, that
he fell nearly stunned. Rosa BOnheur
took her faithful friend home again,
and cared for him till he died.

hearts of even the fiercest creatures.

Up in Minneapolis
l had an experience
With mouse
That makes me
Laugh at your mice stories
And this last one almost
Made me sick l laughed so.
Well, anyhow, l was at
The old Hotel NicOllet
Where they had colored
Men as walters and
One evening | was eating
My dinner when, felt
Something strange Juggling
AT my trousers leg, but
| didn't say anything
And pretty soon l looked
Down and saw my trousers
Leg was moving right
AT the knee, and l
Knew there was something
There and l didn't stop
To think what it was,
But just grabbed the
Pants by the knee and
Squeezed whatever it was
AS hard as the deuce,
Till / thought it
Must be dead, so
/ got up and shook
My leg and out fell
A dead mouse, wOwie!
l nearly had fit
But never cracked smile
And the big cOlored
Headwaiter came
And said, BOSS, what's
The matter?' and l told him,
Pointing to the mouse.
Gosh ~ he said, "if that'd
Been me you could have
Heard me hOller mile"

Germans Object to
 Polish Language

Berlin, Dec. 2O.-The union of German people in Poland has is sued a protest against the sudden introduction of Polish as the sole official jan@uage in all territorial districts which were formerly Prus- sian. The union demands that both languages shall be employed in public affairs, at least for few years during the period of transi- tion, and it expresses the hope that it's desires in this respect will be supported by the entente and by neutrals.
 The protest states that when the Prussians took over the country in 1915 the Polish language was re- tained in all public affairs, while now the Poles, by the sudden in- troduction of Polish as the only language, are doing enormous harm to the vital interests of 2,000,000 Germans.

 Similar negotiations conducted three or four months ago failed says the paper, because the Amer jeans assumed that the French mines in Alsace would be able tc supply them. The paper points out that the potash mines still lack sufficient coal to operate or full-timc but says that abundant orders for German potash have been received.

One Ton of Coal
 Grows to Forty
 Thru Wild Talk

St. Joseph, Mo, Dee 20 Tn these days of coal shortage, howI. ing of the black diamond looms up as a criminal act in the m.nls of the general public A pfc of coal assumes great proportions in the imagination. A bushal basket full looks like a ton and a car load has the appearance of a noun tain.
 No little excitement was causr ed when it was reported that I0 tons of the precious fuel had bcan discovered in the basement af tlr' old Grant school in the north eH3 The school has not been used thsS season.
 When the president of the boaal of education was notified both surprise and anxiety was express ed. Probably fne same thought occurred to him as did the person to whom he was talking Could Il be possible that the coal had been stored in the building years heforc and had been forgotten?
 II, C. Westover. chief engineer of the scheel district, soon set at rest any suspicious, when he sa!d n-chalantly that there was a load of coal in the old bins. but that it has been checked with the rest belonging to the school dis trict. The load had been dumpej into the vacant building last sum ,ner by coal men when the an nua] supply was being hauled U, the various school buildings m the city Because of the difficulty of removing it and :~.cause the1 2 was no prospect at that time of q coal shortage, it had been permit ted tO remain there.
