ADAM AND EVE GO SHOPPING
Highly Imaginative Picture OF Our
First Parents StrolIing Through
Department Store.

Let us imagine our scapegoat an
cestors attempting an II o'clock stroll
through ten-story department store,
Ellen Burns Sherman writes In the
North American Review.
Can we not hear the tense ejacula-
lions of our first mother before the
mountains of unknown things, woods,
satins, silks, challies, organizes and
muslins, piled ceiling-high before her?
Even Adam, who has a reputation
as manner of things, might we'll drop

for your sex; for I'm thinking no man
would gear himself up in any of this
duffle"-if one may help him to word.
Then Eve, if true to her old Edenic
form, would retort:
But Adam, dear, you can't deny
that it is all most tempting, and l am
going to pick right away some of that
soft, cloudy stuff, the color of sun

priests was kneeling before the high

monastery said: Zone evening | wars in

INCIDENT CONVEYS A MORAL
illustrating Once More That Physical
Force Is Altogether Ineffective
as an Argument.

One great man who had delved into
scientific methods for many years was
passing along the street one day when
he was halted by householder, who
said:
"Sir, you had an article in your pa
per yesterday"
ayes, I did," was admitted.
"In that article you said that the
world moved"
"And so the world does move"
"You are liar, and 1 can prove It.
I drove some stakes on my property
last night, and found that they had
not moved at ALL"
rash man, but can prove to you
that the world does move" And he
turned the other around and gave him
a kick which landed him about ten
feet away.
'"And 1 will prove to you that the
world does not moye," cried the house
holder. And he hauled off and gave
the wise man such blow in the face
that he fell down and did not move.
Moral-When man cannot be con-
vinced, by argument, then blows, and
kicks and black eyes will do no good.

SlanderOus Gossip.

The Tribune cannot find language
to sufficiently express its disgust
with gossip and slander-the favorite
pastime of the evil minded idler and
loafer. The most precious possession
of any man or woman is spotless
reputation, and people should be ex-
tremely cautious about circulating
stories involving the good name OF
anyone. It is so easy to start nasty
story. and the flthier it is and the
better looking the girl in the story,
the faster it gains momentum, and
how utterly impossible it is to undo
the wrong once done. To besmirch
the character Of man is bad enough
but to blacken the good name OF 2

MUST LET THE WORLD KNOW
Too Many Expect Others to Be Con-
versant With Their Secret Hopes
and Aspirations.

The rarest person in the world Is the
one who knows what he really wants.
And if you don't know yourself, how
can you expect others to know?
Two young people went off and got
married in the most casual, Bohemian
fashion, informing nobody.
And their friends asked them around
to dinner now and then, accepting the
marriage in equally casual fashion,
only to find out, years later, that they
were deeply hurt not to have had the
usual formal bride-and-groom dinners
given for them.
But how could anyone have known
that?
If independence, freedom and an ad-
venturous life are what you really
want, don't expect people to deduce 1t
from the fact that you are married and
have several small children.
If you are professional person, and
have decided early in your career that
you must make money above all things,
don't be hurt and surprised when you
are forty if you are not widely known
as distinguished scientific expert.
And if you have given up your life
to research, don't be surprised If you
haven't made a lot of money.
You have told the world one thing.
Now you are dismayed that it did not
see into your heart and understand
what it was that you really wanted.
Too many gentle souls pin their faith
on the old idea that the world will
sooner or later beat path to their
doors.-Marion Mclean, in The De-
signer.

almost landed the biggest contract
of the year." Potts announced, throw
ing his coat down on the chair by
way of emphasis. Had the man all
ready to sign up-pen in hand-when
the bottom dropped out"
"How was that?' inquired Mrs.
Potts, taking her cue from years Of
wifely experience.
"Oh, Perkins had to come sticking
his head into the matter!" exclaimed
Potts. There were one or two Of the
clauses to the contract that he didn't
think were just right. Said he didn't
quite approve of the time limit, either.
And, say! l had given the firm six
weeks more time than we would have
ever required to complete the contract.
Some people are so conservative that 1t
ceases to be a virtue. Yes, sir, If it
hadn't been for Perkins I'd have landed
the biggest contract that the firm has
had in Is months"
"My!" exclaimed the lady II should
think the firm would be terribly mad
at this man Perkins. Will he be able
to hold his position after causing you
to lose such a big contract?"
ooh, yes, suppose he WILL" Potts
admitted. "You see, took it for
granted that you knew. Perkins Is
president Of our company."-Kansas

Mind-Laziness,

Most of us have, or have had, ten
deney to be lazy about thinking. That,
in itself, is not dangerous tendency
can be overcome if we are interested
in overcoming it. But many people,
not realizing what is the matter with
their minds, let lazy thinking habits
develop unchecked. The slipshod mind
has always an excuse ready. It says,
I'm too tired to work now. What !
need is Thorough rest to fit me for
thinking. Tomorrow shall be able to
do this work easily" Sometimes the
excuse is genuine, but we must be on
our guard to see that the tired feeling
really means overwork. We must be
On the lookout for the idle brain that
complains Of being exhausted.

young girl is the vilest crime imagin-
able. AS a sermon on SANDER we
have seldom run across anything to
equal the following vigorous langu-
age pronounced by an Iowa judge in
passing sentence on one convicted OF
criminal libel:
Malicious libel is a hideous
crime. It injuries good name
and character. AS a crime it is
worse than stealing, or causing
bodily injury. Money may be
made and lost. 1t comes and
goes.
Bodily injuries usually heal.
The injury to good name rarely
heals entirely. A good name is
the jewel of the soul. Destroy
it and there can be no recovery.
It is an irreparable loss to the
victim. It means gain to no one.

of sin. 1t lives and revels in filth
and corruption. 1t springs from
a malicious, depraved heart. It
has no regard for the rights and
feelings of others. SANDER
causes more anguish, more heart
aches and more tears than all

ed. It is more heinous than
murder, for it kills good name

ISLANDER is more cruel than
war, for it's wounded can ever
recover. 1t is worse than pestil-

The home is drifting; children are
roaming; wives are gadding. Their
husbands are practicing fraud and dis.
honesty on their families. They are
cowardly.
The time has come to reestablist
the home with the sovereignty of the
federal head, the sacredness of domes-
tic seclusion, and the proper adjust
ment of domestic duties.
The dark spot in the present civ
ll'zation is the neglected home. Cow
ardly husbands are responsible for
every phase of domestic decline.
Vet the men awake, reassert them
selves, re-establish their homes, and
build again the domestic-the national
tortihcation-namely, a well-organiz-
ed domestic circle.
