REFLECTION IN ONES TRUST
Belief In Anothers Goodness Well
Explained as the Sympathetic
Affection of Our Own.

Trust Is the belief in another's good
ness on the inspiration Of your own.
The moment you ask for other grounds
than this, and withhold your reliance
till 1t can rest on external proof, you
rease to trust and stipulate for knowl-
edge. On the other hand, If the con-
iding temper is so dominant as to blind
you to opposing evidence and refuse
the correction Of positive experience, 1t
becomes weak credulity. In both
extremes the pure soul breaks with the
clear intellect, becoming its slave In
The one case, and It's tyrant In the
other. The genuine sphere Of trust is
found in neutral instances, where out
ward proof Is absent or in equipoise,
and the Prescriptions OF right affec-
lion have the undisputed field to them
selves. And even then, 1t is not mere
arbitrary hypothesis, pleasantly flung
across the gap of ignorance to veil 1t
with q curtain Of painted cloud; not
= mere willingness to live in happy
1elusion till the rough winds Of reality
shall dissipate it; but rather, the quick
instinct by which the pure heart
recognizes purity, and love catches
The eye Of love. So that, in it's true
exercise, trust is the intuitive, appre-
tension of another's goodness by the
sympathetic affection of our own

WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG
Remarkable Animals Roamed Plains
Of What Is Now the Dominion
of Canada.

The high-browed psychologists
have been rigging up the skeletons of
a mess of duck-billed dinosaurs in the
Calgary region in British Columbia.
The animals were planted before the
Rockies had even begun to sprout.
The country was lushy plain, with
the animals and balmy climate Of the
tropics. 1t was not until the Rockies
had grown into good-sized hills that
the country became known for its
billiards. In the good old days the
duck-billed dinosaur was hippo
and the hind legs of an ostrich. If he
didn't look so much like a crocodile
he might have been mistaken for an
elephant He had three toes, but
could swim like a swan. A husky
dinosaur was likely to be some 30 or
40 feet over all and would tilt the
scales for 5000 to 10000 pounds. He
might use a Kodiak bear for a play
thing. In those days the fight fans
would have loved to see mix-up be-
tween a duck-billed dinosaur and one
Of the saber-toothed tigers from the
La Brea pits. That would make bull
fighting seem like handkerchief fir
tation. We ought to put in requisi-
ton for a goose-faced iguanodon to
add to our collection at Exposition
park. Maybe we can fix up a trade
with the Calgary folk and give them
slightly damaged methatherium for
the venerable bones of a dinosaur.-

SOLVES MYSTERY OF FICTION
question Long in Dispute Said to Be
Explained by Meanings in Per-
sian Rug.

Most Persian rugs tell q story of
some sort, but few tell one as clearly
as a bargain rug Banks bought and
proudly exhibited to his friends.
The rug was at least 200 years old
the dealer said, the priced rug of
family allied by several marriages
to the family of the rug merchant
Into it had been woven the history of
this first family.
This history is told, not as in most
Oriental rugs, in Arabic characters,
but in hieroglyphic figures that sug-
gest the whole story. AT one end are
two figures, man and woman, the
founders of the family, and their first
home, humble dwelling. Time
passes, represented in the rug by six
inches of weave. The couple are able
to buy two cows. Children come to
the home. Horses and sheep are
bought as the family continues to
grow prosperous. And in the center
Of the rug is the symbol Of the at
tainment of great prosperity-a great
house.
Banks, the American owner of this
rug, declares that the mystery of the
origin Of American success fiction is
solved Two hundred years and more
ago they took this medium to show
how perseverance and frugality paid.

EARLY DAYS OF RAILR0ADING
Vallandiaham Writes of Some Of the
Primitive Methods of New Means
of Transportation.

Edward Noble Vallandigham, in his
book, Delaware and the Eastern
Shore" gives an interesting sidelight
on railroading in 1888. In a chapter
dealing with transportation between
the Delaware river and the Chesa-
peake bay, he says, according to the
Indianapolis News: Steamboats, soon
replaced the sailing packets, but it was
not until 1888, after years of legisla-
ton In both states, that the New Cas-
tie & Frenchtown railroad, traces OF
which still show in green bits Of en-
bankment, improved the land route. A
primitive locomotive engine, Imported
from England, was with difficulty tink-
cred into going order to draw tiny
coaches on the rails of strap iron,
pegged to wooden sleepers, which In
turn were pegged to stones set deep
In the ground. The speed of ten miles
an hour was held to be perilous. Bas-
kets hoisted on tall poles notified the
line ahead that the train was coming.
From time to time train hands, detect
ing a rail with end turned up where a
spike had loosened, got down and Sc
cured the threatening snake head
According to the original charter the
rate for passengers was cents a
mile, tariff later raised to 10 cents
because the cost of building and main
tanning the line had been underestimate
ed. Each passenger could carry 100
pounds Of baggage free of charge"

EXPLAINS LACK OF COURTESY
According to Writer, Various Forms
of Fear Are Responsible for
Its Absence.

The finest courtesy is that which
comes from the spontaneous manifes-
tation of good will, says writer in
the Montreal Family Herald. Yet
often people who feel good will toward
others are not notable for courtesy.
it can almost invariably be ascribed
to fear. Perhaps the person is afraid
Of assuming too much Importance aud
Of appearing egotistical and therefore
turks in the background when he
should come forward. Perhaps he
fears that some one will think he is
trying to curry favor, and therefore
he is so distantly polite as almost to
be rude. Perhaps his good will is so
mingled with admiration as to make
him awkward and embarrassed; the
fear of being regarded as commonplace
and unimportant as he cannot help
knowing himself to be prevents him
from showing proper courtesy. Or, on
the other hand, the fear that courtesy
will be assertive, overbearing or true
ulent.
Fear is the great enemy to happi-
ness and accomplishment. One of the
most effective ways in which fear
works is through curbing or suppress
ing the courteous manners and actions
that, if it were not established In a
position of authority, would display
themselves as the natural expression
of the heart.
