"ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT"
Phrase Is as True Today as When Great Man Said 1t Many
 Centuries AQo.

There is nothing however good but a person may find some fault in it if he Is determined to do so. There is nothing perfect that Is of mans mak- ing. There is nothing that man orig mates or performs but what contains more or less of his weakness Worth, like water, must stay below the level of it's source. It is quite natural that a person should dissent. The scien- lists dispute as much as the theOlo- gians. Every time one obtains new standpoint he changes his opinion. Every time he meets q friend he finds that he differs.
 So we must make up our minds to disagree, but this disagreement may be of advantage if we disagree in the right spirit. If we don't do that and our disagreement falls into i'll will and anxiety, then we become enemies of person we earnestly and candidly dis agree with may be right and ourselves wholly wrong. It would make us feel very absurd sometimes, in the midst of a.vio1ent controversy, to have sud- den light let in the controversy and show our adversary entirely right The safest thing, so far as ones conduct toward him is concerned, is to remem- Der he may be right and treat him ac- cordingly.- State Journal.

Gems May One Day Be Mined on Large Scale in This Country,
 Say GeoIoqists.

Geologists, according to exchanges. believe that some day diamonds will be mined on a very large scale in the United States. They are confident there are valuable diamond mines hid- den under this country, because many loose diamonds have been found in various sections. There must be par ent lode, they say, and this is believed to be in either the Rocky mountain or Appalachian range. Regular diamond chimneyS, like those of South Africa, were found in Arkansas in 1906. They were filled with periOdOdite, akin to the famous Kimberlite of South Africa.
 A farmer in Indiana, blowing gravelly hillside, found the first dia- mond in America in 1887. More than 20 diamonds have been found in In. diana in the last 20 years, and one sold for S1.2OO. Other valuable dia- mOndS have been found in Virginia, a North Carolina, Wisconsin, South Caro- lima, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Idaho, Texas, Montana, Arizona and California. A laborer working in an excavation in Manchester, Va, found Numerous stones, weighing from three to 21as karats have been found in Wisconsin.

CHAPTER V.

Having thus, in a word, revealed his ambition for a career above courts, marts and polling booths, George breathed more deeply than usual, and, turning his face from the lovely companion whom he had just made his .confdant, gazed out at the dancers with an expression in which there was both sternness and a contempt for the squalid lives of the unyachted Midlanders before him. However, among them he marked his mother, and his somber grandeur re- faxed mOmentarily; a more genial light came into his eyes.
 Isabel was dancing with the queer looking duck; and 1t was to be noted that the lively gentleman's gait was more sedate than it had been with Miss Fanny Minafer, but not less dex- terous and authoritative. He saw George and the beautiful Lucy on the stairway and nodded to them. George waved his hand vaguely: he had a momentary return of that ineXplicable uneasiness and resentment which had troubled him downstairs.
 How lovely your mother is!' Lucy said.
 "I think she is," he agreed gently.
 "She's the gracefulest woman in that ballroom. How wonderfully they dance together! !'
 "Who?"
 "Your mother and-and the queer looking duck" said Lucy. 'I'm going to dance with him pretty soon."
 "I don't care-so long as you don't give him one of the numbers that belong to me-"
 "Pll try to remember" she said and thoughtfully lifted to her face the bouquet of violets and lilies, a gesture which George noted without approval.
 Look here! Who sent you those flowers you keep maxim such a fuss over?"
 "He did"
 "Whos 'he?"
 "The queer-1OOking duck"
 George feared no such rival; he laughed loudly. 'T s'p0se he's some old widower!'' he said, the object thus described seeming ignominious enough to a person of eighteen, with out additional characterization.
 Lucy became serious at once. "Yes, he is a widower," she said. "I ought to have told you before; he's my fa- ther"
 George stopped laughing abruptly. "Well, that's a horse on me. If I'd
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-09-20

"No. All I saw was q remarkably goOd-lOOking fOOI-bOy with tie pride of Satan and set of nice eW draw ing-rOOm manners that he probably couldn't use more than half all hour at a time without busting"
 "Then what"
 Mothers are right" said Morgan. Mothers st~- the angel in us because the angel is there. If it's shown to the mother the son has got an angel to show, hasn't he? When a son cuts somebody's throat the mother only sees it's possible for a misguided an gel to act like a devil-and she's en- tirely right about that!''
 Kinney laughed and put his hand on his friends shoulder. "I remem- Der what a fellow you always were to argue" he said. You mean Geor- gie Minafer is as much of an angel as any murderer is, and that Georgie's mother is always right"
 "I'm afraid she always has been," Morgan said lightly.
 The friendly hand remained upon his shoulder. "She was wrong once, old fellow. At least, so it seemed to me-"
 "No," said Morgan, a little awk- wardly. 'No-'
 Kinney relieved the slight embar- rassment that had come upon both of them: he laughed again. Wait till you know young Georgie a little bet ter" he said. Something tells me you're going to change your mind about having an angel to show, if you see anything of him" You mean beauty's in the eye of the beholder. and the angel Is all in i the eye of the mother.

He Was Fortunate,

He recently returned from France and one of his arms is missing. He is very sensitive about any mention of that loss, particularly so since it doesn't interfere with his work. But two young men, not nearly so efficient as he, who are employed in the same office, insist on talking about his loss. The other day one of them began, 'I'l tell you it is tough to lose an arm in a war for millionaires. Now"
 "Now," interrupted the young hero testify, 'I want to tell you it's lot better to be crippled in war than by nature"
 And there was absolute silence in that office.

 "NO?"

 "Why nOt2" she asked mildly.

"That's a fine career for a man, isn't it! Lawyers, bankers, politicians What do they get out of life, I'd like to know! What do they ever know about real things? Where do they ever get?'
 He was so earnest that she was surprised and impressed. She had a vague, momentary vision of Pitt, at twenty-one, prime minister of Eng land; and she spoke, involuntarily in a lowered voice, with deference:
 "What do you want to be?" she asked.
 George answered promptly.

I am taking it for granted they are
grease spots. If so chloroform will take
them out. Put Turkish towel or a
clean white blotter under the spot and
then sponge with little chloroform,
working from the center of the spot in
order not to let it spread. Rub lightly
and rapidly. There are good prepared
liquid cleaners to be bought IN drug

way. You can buy those that are not
