MRS SOLOMON SAYS:
BV Helen Rowland

Many things have l made clear unto tnee'
oh my Daughter, but when thous askest'
what is LOVE?" | am smitten with doubts.
For, the forms and the colors of the flow
ers of the fields are not more numerous than
loves variations.
Go to! There is a thing called Glove of
animals" whereon every man prideth him
self Yet, l say unto thee, it is far easier
to love dumb creature that adoreth thee,
than NOT to love it.
For what virtue is there in loving being,
who can never rival thee, who obeyeth with
out question, swho never answereth back, and
is grateful for kind word and pat upon
the head?
Likewise, a man taketh great credit to
himself, for his lifelong devotion unto dead
wife, unto a woman who hath married
another and is therefore unattainable.
And this, also is exceeding simple.
Yet, COULD he love the same woman with
the same devotion, were she at hand, to face
him across the breakfast table and the coffee
urn each morning? Yea, COULD he continue
to adore her, without fluctuations, were she
at his heels, each evening, urging him to
wear his rubbers and forever questioning
him as to why he was late for dinner?
And WHERE he had been?
And where he was going?
And WHY he could never find anything
around the house?
And why he never wiped the mud from his
shoes before entering?
ana WHAT ne QdQ zone Win all his
moneys?
And IF he had shaved?
And IF he loved her as much ever?
Go to! Could he love her as passonately
in magic-wavers and faded kimono as in
pink tule and a marcelled couture?
Could he adore her unreservedly, when
she served him cold coffee and burned bacon
| and underdone eggs?
| Could he love her as madly before break
fast as after dinner, and as blindly on a
rainy morning as on moonlit evening?
| Nay, verify.
| For the love Of animals Is human and the
| love Of the dead and the departed is divine.
| But, the love Of a HUMAN BEING that
dwelleth beside thee, within four walls, is
! superhuman
Verify, verify, absence maketh love grow
sonder, but proximity is it's ACID TEST!

Prince and Blacksmith

| A last the ex-Crown Prince Of Germany
| ~ has job that is truly worth while;
he is helping the village smithy make
horseshoes. On the little Dutch island or
| Wiern gen, mis- nook of exile, he was inter-
| viewed the other day by correspondent OF
the Petit Journal, who found him standing
| before an anvil, in shirt sleeves, kn1cker-
bockers and wooden stockings, with a pair
of pincers, holding a red-hot horseshoe In
one hand and a hammer in the other" A
cheerful picture, this, to that OF the lonely
figure on st. Helena, gazing across a sailless'
tropical ocean, or Quarreling peevishly with
his keeper!
French newspaper man, one might
think, would be received rather distantly, II
at all, by a crest-broken heir Of the house
of Hohenzollern, whose attachments In snoo-
berry once were enied by every lordlng east
| of the hhine Oontrariwise, however, the
banished one welcomed his caller with a
| smile and lin excenent FRENCH" finished
| the shoe with his friend the blacksmith,
plunged it kissing into pail of water, cast
aside his hammer pulled a work-stainea
cap jauntily over his blonde hair, and latter
showing the correspondent around the shop,
invited him to go into the blacksmith's liv-
ing room, where the three of them were soon
enjoying large mugs of Dutch beer" An
if the ex-Kaiser, modify plucking his beard
at Doom, could have beheld the scene!
Would he not have exploded with outraged
pride?
The eX-Pr1nce was so unabaShed as TO ASK
the news of Paris: what are they talking
about there now? Are the girls pretty as
ever? What are the best pieces at the thea
ter, and the best new noves?" At forty,
says the keen-eyed icribe, he retains 1.-The
manners and expression of youth of twen
ty;" and though complaining acutely Of the
high cost Of living, he appears content
enough amongst the workmen and fisherfolk
of the island, in his "tiny house which looks
like frog crouching under it's imitation
thatch roof"
Content he ought to be and devoutly CRATE
full for the privilege, quite undeserved, o.
associations so superior to those Of his ersc-
while career. Fortunate beyond measure is
he to be tolerated by the peasants, who II
less kindly or less forbearing might we'll re-
sent his presence. A real blacksmith counte-
nancing a puppet of royalty! A lion hob
nobbing with a poodle! YeS in justice 1t
must be conceded that the ex-Prince has
acquired sound tastes since his exile. He
might have been foolish enough not to like
the smithy and the fisherhoolk. Had he been
favored with birth in cottage instead of a
priggish palace, who knows what ''pith O.
sense, an pride O. worth" he might have
shown.

THE ONLY SAFETY is JUSTICE
By DR.. Frank Crane

AS civilization becomes more and more
complex, justice must become more and more
fundamental
Every assassination OF royal person con-
tains this lesson. There is safety no more in
high places, except as there is justice in low
places.
"Be wise now, therefore, o ye kings, and
be instructed, We judges of the earth. Kiss
the people, lest they be angry and We perish
from the way when their wrath is kindled
but little"
The rise Of democracy has been accompa-
MED with the growth of the terrific power of
private vengeance. The other edge of de-
mocracy, it's cutting edge, is the power Of
lone of the least of these, my brethren" to
kill. Along with the doctrines Of altruism
facture of Eliminates, dynamite, nitroglyc-
erin, and all the black brothers of the out
ragged.
And there is no refuge from this r
except justice. And not occasional justice,
such as of courts and arbitration boards and
special committees, but bottom justice which
reaches to the basic equities, which indeed
must utterly reorganize the social arrange
ment.
Every man must have a fair chance No
child shall under any circumstances have an
unearned preference over another. Bringing
one child into the world in the slums and
feeding him on refuse, alcohol, and lust, and
bringing another child into the world in lux
ury and feeding him on milk and honey and
love; this injustice must cease. All privilege,
caste, every species Of unfairness must stop.
So breaches the mild Jesus. So runs the
gentle gospel. 49,
But behind the flowers and perfume of
this appeal Of goodness Is an iron horror, a
thing with teeth and claws and fireheart that
says the same thing
Let us be fair and just and love our
neighbor and we will feel better. Quite SO.
But there is a hell side as we'll as a heaven
side to every true preachment. Let us abide
in unfairness, injustice and selfishness, and
out Of the pit of wrong and darkness by the
side of which we feast shall come fire balls
and cyanic vapors
Wherever there is injustice there is dan
ger. Wherever there is wrong there is con-
cealed hell fire. Every oppression means an
explosion. Every graft and connivance OF
roguery means, some time, somewhere, agony
and heartbreak.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Literature as Remedy.


tn HE other day youth of nineteen was
| convicted of lettering on the streets,
and, as punishment, the magistrate
before whom he was tried sentenced him to
read so many chapters Of Dickens and Scott
every day for six months.
Probably the type of young man who
holds up street corners and leers at the flap
pers who go by would just as soon serve
thirty days In Jail at hard labor as six
months in library at hard reading, but
there can be no doubt as to which discipline
would have the most beneficent effect. The
Jail term would leave the boy brutalized The
library sentence will leave him made over, If
there is any good material in him.

Of the moral ills that all society is to teach
the young to read. The idle youths who loaf
on the street because there is the only place
they know In which to seek diversion the
girls who parade up and down in front of
the store windows, and who find their great
est thrill in imagining how they would look
in the gorgeous garments displayed in the
shops; the married women who are bored
to death because they have to stay at home
with their husbands and children, all are vic

For people who like to read never know

company. They never need an occupation
They have only to take down a book, and
they can summon genii to bring them ro-

ture, or to spread for them the magic car
pet that will take them to the uttermo3t
parts Of the earth, and open for them every
door, from the howell of the peasant to the
palace Of the king.
Boys and girls who like to read are sell
dom gangsters, and hoodlums, or among
those youngsters who stumble into the down
ward path in bad company, for books make
a mighty wall of defense between the young
and temptation.
The wise magistrate who sentenced the
street loafer to read a certain number of
hours day believed that he could turn the
boys punishment into never ending bless

to get an inspiration towards better life
from the characters with which the
book would bring him in contact.

children will do we'll to adopt. When
Johnny and Mary do the things they should
not have done, and leave undone those
things they should have done, instead of

without their suppers, why not try the lit

They may look upon having to sit in the
house and read certain number of pages
in book, when they want to be out play
ing, as a cruel and inhuman punishment,
but if you enforced 1t, you will fasten the

the most unbreakable habits in life, and
that, Of itself, is a safeguard. Furthermore,

Furniture STYLES

A new style in furniture was demanded
by representatives of the French furniture
industry at the Furniture congress recently
held here.
Architects are blamed by the president or
the Furniture Makers association for the
continued production of false Louis XIV,
Louis XVI and other styles of antiques. They
design interiors to go with such furniture,
and naturally the manufacturers have to
meet the demand, he says.
The president proposed that the teachers
in the fine arts school should begin the
campaign for a modern original style by
inspiring original ideas, under the general
direction of committee composed Of artists,
architects and furniture makers.
He hopes this method will produce an en-
tirely new style that will mark this epoch as
did the styles of the two Louis, of the En-
pire and the Renaissance.
