THE MAN WITH A MASK.

He walked streets. He. wore the
ordinary clothes that convention sug-
gested. His likes, dislikes, and habits
savored purely human.
He was loved for much that he was
and admired for much that he did.
He was never hailed as remarkable
and an under-abundance of acclaim
came his way.
Music, art. literature, people. COM
mon things, incidents were playthings
to him as to many another
And yet, he was a man with mask!
You see, it was like this. His life
had been just like Spring, with its
freshness, it's flowers, it birds-new-
corners from colder climes. But he
was living in a world, just the same,
with other human beings all about
him, experiencing the same longing to
burst out. to be natural, to be real
He thought he could be himself, and
grow to a ripe maturity just as the
flower expects to, before it is taken in
the night and scared by the bitter
frost that comes on so unawares.
But the cold, beating rain of the
world chilled his soul. He shivered a
little-and put on the mask. He has
worn it ever since.
Not that he was ashamed or wanted
to conceal anything. Rather, the OPP
posite.
AS a rule. we show to the outer
world that which mostly we are not.
We keep the rest for ourselves-be-
hind the mask.
Our many selves must guide US, adj
wise use-rule us.
We are not such strayful human be-
ings as one would suppose. Each of
must thru the force of a strange
necessity, hew fairly straight to the
line of least resistance. We must ac-
cept our heritages WITH good, as well
as with silent, grace.
But the inner thrills of substantial
experience must flower in our heart
of hearts, quite alone and separate
from that which the world knows
about.
The man with a masks he not a
worthy citizen of the world? However
lonely, does not such one touch the
heartstNings of all, and make each his
debtor?
You who long and strive, are the
man with the mask

1nent to pay them $5OO,oOo,ooo on ac-
count. This action on the part of the
roads tends to confirm, a suspicion
that they are maintaining high rates
for purposes other than immediate re-
thrns in revenue. The conclusion Is
unavoidable that they can and viii
reduce their rates when their pur-
pose in keeping them up has been
served. If revenue were the sole end
in view they might take lesson from
the government which is planning to

that it is charging more than the tra;-

Two corpulent old gentlemen on

Who in blazes is going to get it out?"

The would-be stern father assumed
his most forbidding air as his young
son somewhat guiitily entered the
study.

raised in admonition. Il am Mortified
to hear that you were seen at Ro-
mano's the night before last, acting as
host to party of chorus girls. Can
this be true?'
"Oh, yes. papa" admitted the
young man. with the merest apology
for blush.
my boy. what do you suppose your
poor mother would think-would
say-should this come to her ears?"
ooh, that's all right. pater," blurted

why is it," asked an old bachelor
the other day. that almost every wo-
man believes that every man who
comes about her is hopelessly in love
with her? They do, you know, and
the older, the homelier and the more
unattractive a woman is the more
firmly convinced is she that she is a
vamp that nothing in trousers can
resist.

look and say, You should know the
answer to that question: to make them

OF them is perfectly convinced that
she broke my heart by marrying some
body else. 9

''Why women should believe that

there are mighty few bashful men in

doesn't hesitate to ask for it, he
rustles out and tries to grab it.

not because they are afraid, or for

because they don't want to get mar

Women put too much stress on
mans attentions, anyhow. They never
seem to understand that there are
many men like myself who are
celibates by nature. We are lone
wolves to whom the thought of being
caught in the matrimonial trap, and
domesticated, and named, is full of
terror and we are bent and deter

This growth has been attributed to
