WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

WY E drink to one another's
w healths and spoil our own.
To be rebuked in disaster is
worse than the disaster.
The tinid see dangers which
do not even exist.
He who asks faint-heartedly
teaches how to refuse.
It is unreasonable for men to
be judges in their own cases.
Tell your secret to your SER
want and you make him your
master.
Reason is the test Of ridicule-
not ridicule the test Of truth.
Ready cleverness has overcome
all things by determination.
1t is necessary that he who
commands well. should have at
some time obeyed.
Logical consequences are the
scarecrows Of fools and the bea-
cons of wise men.
There is a past which Is gone
forever, but there Is a future
which Is still our own.
It Is a difficult task to have all
men for your friends-it is suffi-
cent not to have enemies.
Commonly a modest man OBJ
tains the character Of being re-
served. and a silent man Of being
disagreeable.
Time and opportunity are no
mans slave.
Too much consideration is fool
1sh against a. shameless person.
The consciousness of good In
tention Is the greatest solace in
misfortune.
Undoubtedly ignorance Of fu-
ture ills is more useful than
knowledge.
A mind conscious Of right
laughs at the falsehocds Of ru.
NOR.
Let him who has once recog-
nlzed how much the things he
has rejected excel what he has
sought, return betines, and seek
again what has been neglected.

REAL LOVES
LIGHT NEVER

By Lucy Lowell.
IVY 80 '" ~@@s
Owe that holds only when the

ONG LQdL NOUS only WnCu INC
sun shines is a very spurious
- article, it seems to me.
It's the affection that burns
bright through hardship and hurt,
through better and worse, and time
and distance which is the love
that "understandeth all things,
belieVeth all things, suffereth long
and is kind"
And when you've touched upon
it, ever SO. casually, you've heard
the song Of the universe. Gods
in his heaven and alls well with
a world where such shining devo-
ton may emerge from shadows
black with tragedy!
It may have been six months
ago or years ago that Frances
Bull met and loved Claude Foster.
Not too many years ago, for she's
only nineteen. Besides time doesn't
matter, for her love for him is
real, and so recognizes no time.
They had their days Of sweet
hearting when the sun shone, with
the world looking on casually, as
it looks upon other sweethearts
while the sun shines.
But the shadows gathered.
The terrific word murder" was
connected with Fosters name. A
buddy of his had been shot in
Fosters room on an aviation
field. He was accused and
brought to trial.
Curious eyes were turned toward
the girl. Was she to be stricken
with 8 h a m - Frustrated with
horror? Was she to disclaim asso-
citation with the accused? After
all. she was but yOungster with
her life ahead!
But they needn't have ques-
toned. You see. her love was real.
When the boy was being crushed
with accusation and blame she
was beside him, helping him to
stand straight and firm.
Through the long days in the
courtroom she. stood true, and her
pride in him never dropped. When
the jury said mot guilty" she
was the only one he saw.
After she smiled a tear-eyed-
happy tears, those-endorsement
Of his announcement that they
would be married at once. And
I've a feeling that this land of
ours brushed aside a few national
tears as it shrugged it's shoulders
and turned to newer interests
atter its weeks of watching the
loyalty of the girl.

Book Reviews.
Unabridged Dictionary, by Noah
Webster.
We find on our table quite an
exhaustive treatise on various
subjects, written in Mr.. Web
ster well-known, lucid and pi-
quaint style. There is not q dull
line between the covers of the
book. The range of subjects is
wide, and the treatment light
and easy without being flippant.
A valuable feature of the work
is the arranging of the articles
in alphabetical order, thus ia
cilitating the finding Of any par
ticular subject desired. Mr..
Webster's vocabulary is large,
and he always uses the right
word in the right place. Mr..
Webster's work is thorough and
we predict that he will be heard
from again.

The City Directory.

The City Directory.
This new book has the decided
merit of being conversational.
In these days of erratic and ul-
tra-imaginative literature of the
modern morbid self-analytical
school it is a relief to peruse a
book with SO little straining
after effect, so we'll balanced,
and so pure in sentiment. 1t is
a book that a man can place in
the hands of the most innocent
member of his family with the
utmost confidence. It's material
is healthy, and it's literary style
excellent, as it adheres to the
method used with such thrilling
effect by Mr.. Webster in his IA
nous dictionary, viz: Alphabeti-
cal arrangement.
We venture to assert that no
one can carefully and conscien-
tiously read this little volume
without being a better man, or
lady, as circumstances over
which we have no control may
may indicate.

"Woman's head, it is true, is

The scrapping Of battleships
or the destruction of the Pacific
forts are as nothing compared
with the results Of our present
system of reproduction of the
race. Thousands of the best
women ever created for home
builders are living childless
lives-teachers, stenographers,
clerks, and saleswomen. Yes,
hundreds of thousands of them,
the best educated, the best
trained for home life, the best
prepared to become mothers and
rear their young, are left child
less as the result of our system
Of business and our methods of
rearing young men-many of
whom are unfit to become IA
theirs or home builders. The ris-
ing generation is being born
from the less successful and
from the foreign element, often
very undesirable.

can build new forts, we can
