1t is absolutely dangerous for peo-
pie to live too much to themselves.
heres always danger Of "a rever-
sion to type" Other people may
molest and irritate; but you need
them to give you ballast and to
keep you in a charitable frame OF
mind toward everybody. Where you
are inclined to criticize or become
cynical. just pity your brother or
sister with their shortcomings and
weaknesses, so much like your own,
and try to help them overcome even
as you do when you look to their
good and the good Of others instead
of nursing your little personal griev-
ances which often express your over
whelming egotism and selfishness.
BE ye kind to one another"-and
you will still be doing yourself the
greatest kindness.

A TRIBUTE OF Love
Pathos in Aged Negro's Offering
in LincoIn's Honor.
rumble Flowers Had a Deeper Sig

uets Of the Florists Art.

"The most touching tribute ever paid
to Lincoln" is the way newspaper
man described an incident which he
witnessed few years ago In wash
Ington. The statues of famous Amer
leans stand in the national capitol,
and II is the practice of various pa
triotic societies TO decorate these stat
ues with flowers each Decoration day.
Among these marble effigies of the
dead is the splendid Gutzon Borglum
bust of the martyred President. The
pathos of a great heart. breaking un-
der the woes OF a nation divided
against itself, has been chiseled into
the stone by the inspired sculptor.
On this particular Decoration day
the choicest products Of the hothouse
and the garden had been placed low
lngly on the brows Of Washington, OF
Lee, of Grant and many others. A
wreath of the richest roses the art or
the florist could produce lay upon
the brows of the Lincoln bust.

had put these tributes In place had

the old negro carried a great mass OF
the golden-centered daisies which grow
in luxuriant profusion in every. field

ers fresh a dampened cloth was bound
about their stems.
Across the marble floor shutiied the
aged negro and his little charge. with
a directness that showed he had made
the sacred pilgrimage oftentimes be-
fore, the one-time slave led the way to
where the Lincoln bust rested upon
its pedestal. The negro, with eyes
dimmed with age and tears, gazed Tor

martyred President, his lips moving

OWED MUCH TO STEPMOTHER
Lincoln Was Always Ready to Admit
His Great Debt to the Patient,
Kindly Woman.

"I often think of the stepmother of
Lincoln as an example of the deep and
1uiet and far-reaching power of
woman, a woman who thinks and loves.
A commonplace woman no doubt, most
people thought her, and she probably
thought herself so, too; woman GER
tainly, whose daily work was humble
enough to all appearances, a pioneer
woman meeting the many needs OF the
rough and hard pioneer life-that was
all she seemed to be.
IF any one-o you had seen her In
the little rough log cabin at the home
ly, neyer-ending household tasks while
the boy Lincoln lay stretched before
the fire reading one OF the few books
that that life and community afforded,
you would hardly have thought OF her
as a woman of influence. Yet those
deft hands of hers that you. think o.
mainly as washing dishes and cookini
food and doing other sundry homel.
tasks, were molding, helping to mol
all the while-no one knows just hoy
far that help went-a nations des

ing up under her influence, was grow
ing up to be that man to whom :;
whole nation will always render lov

Failure Of Senate to Ratify Peace
Treaty Leaves United States Tech

Election Holds Interest.
BY DONALD E. pIees.

The world throughout the year 1920
was passing through the troublesome
period of readjustment and reaction
that began with the close Of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
Cd States alone remained technically
IN a state Of war with Germany
through the failure of the senate to
Batify the peace treaty. For all prac-
teal purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than in most of the nations Of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
ut Paris.
Although the great war had ended,
The world was not at peace in 1920
Territorial disputes and jealOusies
growing out Of the war resulted in a
large number Of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained un-
BOlved and the situation in the Emer-
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States de-
spite minor radical activities and the
Uncertainties accompanying the read
justment of business and industrial
conditions, there was continued pros
perity and optimism.
