ARMISTICE DAY

Gov. Preus has issued a proclamation
designating Monday, Nov. IL, asArmistice
day.
Armistice day falls on Nov. II, which
is legal holiday by act of the legislature,
but this year it comes on Sunday, therefore
it will be observed the next day.
The proclamation reads:
"Armstice day, Nov. II, which is a
legal holiday by act of the legislature,
comes this year upon Sunday.
There is something so sacred about the
devotion and patriotism of those who
served our country in the World war, that
Sunday is most appropriate day upon
which to pay tribute to them, to honor the
memory of those who died in that struggle
and to consider our obligations to our ma
ton.
'Tn nearly every community, however,
it is customary to arrange some patriotic
celebration which might interfere with the
ordinary observance of the Sabbath. 1t is
tirely to honoring those who served and
to renewing our pledge to uphold the
principles anu luealS IOr WnlCn tney
fought.
Therefore, 1, ia. o. Preus, governor
of Minnesota, do hereby designate Mon
day, November 18th, for the celebration
Of the signing of the Armistice, and urge
that it be generally observed throughout
the state, that public business be suspended
and that private activities cease as far as
practicable.
"Let us pause and show our gratitude
to those who in the late war, as well as
in other wars and in times of peace, served
and sacrificed that this country might be
what it is today.
"Above all, let us remember to do all
we can for the comfort of those who have
been disabled in, their country's service"

"No thanks" replied George. "One
scrap is enough for me- I'm sure"
Addresses were exchanged and the pair
parted, one saying to himself over and
over again-"Gosh Almighty! What an

Sermonette

III HE fright performance of
duty" means the mental state
in which it is done, for the mere
performance of an act has mo
moral quality in it, for even a
machine may be made to per-
form acts usually done by men.
The moral quality resides in the
person inside. The performance
of good act is no virtue un-
less the person within is in the
right attitude of mind. Many
an apparently good act is done
from selfish, hypocritical, crafty
or other wrong motives. These
are only outwardly good. So
we must attain to proper
state of mind, or mental devo-
ton, in order to know how to
perform our actions because
they ought to be done, because
they are our duties.

What then {?

ttndt tntlI
Having prepared himself, Mr.. ]. L.
read the first of a series of letters to the
Circle, taking for his subject the rocco of
taste and for his text tractate by Mr..
Nathaniel PETER on educational and cul-
tural systems at variance with our own.
Will this letter be published in the
columns of THE MIRROR?
Without reasonable doubt.
Why, then, did Mr.. F. c. NJ, the Circle
critic, see fit to respond in an extempor-
aneous speech?
Because he wished to convey to the
minds of his colleagues the educational
and cultural efficiency of the Wang-Wei
dynasty as against the brummagem fol-
lowing of the dynasty of the Mings, and
hoped to awaken an interest," following
the lead given by Mr.. J. L., in the poten-
TALLY good and evil possibilities extant in
the conflict between the Occidental and
Oriental civilizations.
The honorary member shifted his weight
from a posterior to an anterior position.
When an irresistible force meets an i'm
movable object.
Were there any other opinions expressed,
and by whom?
Yes. By Messrs. H. J.. r. ]. T., F. T. p,
]. M. L., o. NJ, J. M. c., A. R. M, each
speaking irrespectively though not at great
variance with the other.
Is there an amenable conclusion to be
drawn from this causerie?
That the intellectual curiosity of each
of the members was sufficiently aroused.
Why did not Mr.. c. H. S. enter into
this open discussion?
He was engrossed in his painting.
What followed?
Mr.. H. C. H., despite his cold, Mr.. F.
c. M the critic, and Mr.. o. N, the presi-
dent, examined and passed upon the art
of Mr.: c. H. SIS. landscape An AUTUMN
Scene.
How?
By analyzing the relative hues of the
various pigments contained therein, their
juxtaposition and reaction through light
upon the retina and thence through nerves
upon the brain cells.
The result of this autopsy?
1t was concluded that by sympathetic
and harmonious reactions and counter re-
actions created in the memory and emotions
of the judges in viewing this picture the
aesthetics of form, texture, space, and the
fourth dimension, acting as laws un-
fathomable, were satisfied.
What bearing has this upon the story
told by Mr.. H. c. H.?
None whatever.
His comments were unwarranted then?
No. loosely he told his story, which
was indication of the entire atmosphere of
the meeting
How so?
Each of those present, upon entering the
chamber, became possessed of the spirit of
Pierrot.
Wit, then, and drollery, was the pre-
dominant atmosphere?
Decidedly so.
AS instanced?
By the attitude and remarks of all
present.
The meeting may be said to have been
success?
From every angle.
And how did it end?
By vote of adjournment. Omega.
With what result?
Seventeen men, sitting apart in private
council, pondered seventeen different
thoughts.
