Sherrilrs dismissal to President Har-

The resolutions state that the segreL

months, the first being the placing OF
segregation cards In Rock Creek

warning to the Republican party:

Pear Takes HIuh Rank.

When the soldiers of Julius Caesar
introduced the pear tree into Britain,
they unwittingly prepared the way
for one Of the rarest dellcacIes Of the
canning and preserving season. For
although the thorny sprouts Of Ro-
man times with their small, hard, In
edible fruit gave no promise Of what
they might bear when grated on
ounce and mountain ash, the pear
took quickly to domestication and
won with ease it's place in the worlds
orchard. There is no fruit with quite
the same delicate flavor as che pear.
And IL has a distinctive aroma which
no other preserved fruit can supply.
The Bartlett, the variety almost uni
versally used for canning, has not
only the flavor and aroma OF the
other varieties but It is also firm
enough to hold its shape when packed
In glass.

DENOTES A YELLOW AK
Adult Given to Whining Invariably
Loses the Respect Of Those
Associated With Him.

All normal persons admire the quail
ity commonly called grit. The most
thrilling stories that came out Of the
great war were those concerning
doughboys who grinned cheerfully in
spite Of hurts, or even in the extremity
Of agony bit their lips to keep back
the groans lest they appear unmanly In
the presence Of their comrades. To
bear pain without Alnching and TO
bear sorrow with an outward show
Of cheerfulness is the part of the proper
man. By his example men of weaker
fiber are inspired to a like fortitude,
and even the weaklings who would
whine are shamed into silence.
A hurt child gives voice to its pain
and looks about in search of sympathy.
1t yearns to be petted. 1t is filled with
a conviction that its pain is the most
important thing in the universe and
that all persons are and of a right
ought to be deeply interested in its
troubles. It's appeal is to pity, and 1t
wins a quick sympathy because the
strength of maturity plties the weak
ness and helplessness Of childhood. A
child is forgiven much because 1t is a
child.
But while one may pity a weeping
child, says the Baltimore Evening Sun,
the adult wilmer arouses only a desire
to massage his ear with a brick. He
brings shame upon all his fellow crea'
lures who must confess kinship with a
creature so contemplate. His very
presence Is depressing, and his wall
ing saps the vitality and lessons the
courage Of those who are SC unfortu'
nate as to be In his vicinity.
People who delight in telling theil
troubles and describing their pains are
prompted in some measure by the con
victiOn that their case Is unique-thaI
other people r u%nacquainted will

mistaken. Other people have sorrows
and pain very like their W and We
smile and hold their peace. Mentally
and physically the wilmer is similar t.
better men in all respects save this
that the wilmer is possessed of a vel
low streak that penetrates to the mar
row OF his bones.
