PhOOl Philosophy
Old GU COUegy

Your best friends are not always
the ones with whom you are most in
innate.
1t is better to do your duty than
to explain why you didn't.
Keeping your wife in ignorance
is poor policy. 1t sounds twice as
bad when told to her by others.
Remember, though, that family
jars are hard to produce when only
one makes the noise.
Opportunity passes the man who
waits for it.
A close listed woman is generally
quite liberal in giving away pieces
Of her mind.
1t is quite true that clothes do not
make the man, but few of us would
care to go around without any.
Never try to lead man, girls.
Just head him in the direction you
want him to go and then let him
take the lead.
Some, at least, are fully convinced
that the public doesn't know how to
vote intelligently.
Few of orr thoughts are entirely
our own. We just can't resist the
temptation to share them with other
people.
The fellow who is persistently
looking for something for nothing
generally gets all that he is entitled
to.
Never kick about what other peo-
pie say Of you. 1t might be worse if
the whole truth were known.
Never be too hasty in treating
another person with silent contempt
He might bup-up the mortgage on
your home.
When one woman tells you that
another woman is simply the limit
you have every reason TO believe
that she is or she isn't.
You can get plenty Of JOY out OF
life if you are willing to accept what
you get as joyful.
Opportunity keeps moving along
| but a hustler can ALWAYS overtake IL
+, The gentleman who recently re-
marked that all men are fools has
gotten himself into an embarrassing
mess. The rest Of the fools object to
having him as an associate.

REMEMBER YOUR OWN INTERESTS

Another Christmas is at hand, and already many of
our people are scanning the list of possible gifts.
AS is custom each again ask to consider
the claims Of the home merchant and the advantages be de-
rived from trading with him.
Consider the plight Of Germany in this connection
That country PROSTATE because it longer has wealth.
gold being other countries satisfy claims that
must be met.
If follow the that being forced upon Germany,
and spend money outside of community will be
taking long step the direction of local prostraon.
We in fairly good condition but will remain so
only long keep money circulation at home
You will find the home merchants advertised in the
home paper and they will be worth the prices asked.
Consider your interests well his by keeping your
money where you may see it again.

REBUKE THE sLANDERERs

Washington, Nov. II, secretary
Of War Weeks has done national
service in uncovering the true char
acter Of one of the foreign propa-
gandists who are infesting the
United States, This gentleman,
John Fortescue, president of the
Royal Historical Society Of Great
Britain, was scheduled to address the
cadets at the West Point Military
Academy on Armistice Day. The day
previous Secretary Weeks directed
the superintendent of the Academy
not to permit Mr.. Fortscue to deliver
his talk. The reason for the Secre-
tary's action is found i'm book on
British Statesmen Of the Great
War;" in which Mr.. Fortescue the
author, makes the following observa-
tons:
"Americans esteem a good bargain,
even if gained by dishonorable means,
to mark the highest form Of ability.
The United States can not engage in
any form of competition with us,
from athletics to diplomacy, without
using foul play. They must win, if
not by fair skill, then by prearrang-
ed trickery on violence; if not by
open negotiations, then by garbled
maps and forged documents. There
is the fact. 1t may be unpleasant,
but it can not be denied.
Secretary Weeks" laconic COM
ment was that "An author entertain
ing these sentiments is not consider
ed to be q proper person to address
the students Of a government aca-
denny" We should say not! Neither
is he proper person TO address any
other group Of American citizens. 1t
is the announced purpose of Mr.. For
tescue to deliver a series Of lectures
throughout the country, and the evil
influence he would have spread
among our people would have been
tremendous had not Secretary Weeks
shown him up in his true light at the
very inception of his tour.
"The president Of the Royal His
torical Society may be an exaggerat-
ed instance of the anti-American
Euporean, but judging from the num-
Der of such individuals who are con-
tinually visiting the United States,
the type must be an extensive one.
Few of them are so open in their
criticism of Americans as Mr.. For
tescue, but the fact that they all are
so free with their advice on the en-
trance of this country into the league
of nations, treatment of the allied
debts, and assistance to Europe
shows that they are no true friends.
1t is time the American people called
a halt on such proceedings and an
nounced to the world that the lead
ers elected by their votes were quite
capable of handling the affairs of the
United States without outside assis-
lance.
Secretary Weeks has indicated
the course that should guide the au-
thorities throughout the United
States. State and municipal officials
and leaders Of organized movements
of all kinds everywhere should take
their cue from the Secretary Of War.
There is no room on the American
lecture platform or in the columns of
! the American press for the dissem-
nation of propaganda calculated to
undermine the respect Of our citizens
for their government and its institu-

Bv Meteor in 1869

The main facts connected with this inter-
esting phenomenon collected from numerous
and widely separated observers are as follows:
"By observers, generally, north Of Albany,
the meteor is described appearing in the
southeast at an elevation Of from As to co.;
thence it passed rapidly to the south and dis
appeared a little west Of south at an elevation
of from TO- to 15'. Its course throughout its
visible range was marked by heavy train
trail Of smoke which continued visible for
some time after the meteor itself had disap-
peared and at two or three points in its course
large volumes of smoke were observed to form
as if the result of successive explosions.
ITO observers, generally, south of Albany
GO miles or more dstant) the meteor was first
seen in the northeast and disappeared to the
northwest; fact which indicates the path Of
the body to have been nearly concident with
the parallel of Albany.
A few minutes after the disappearance
of the meteor, the lapse of time being
variousy estimated by differently located OBJ
servers at from 80 seconds to two minutes, two
or three loud and successive explosions or re-
ports were heard. accompanied by prolonged
