or is not to his liking.
At the same this is going on In our
own mind, a similar flash of electriclty
is hurtling itself through the smllihs
gentleman who is shaking our manu-
Glad to meet you we say, SIM,
ing our best smile. What we are
thinking is probably: 'Funny-looklng
guy-don't like his looks-he oughth

talk about but one thing-no doubt
I'll find that out soon enough-thls

This rubbing one the wrong way

The strange thing is that as likely
as not the very man who "rubs us
the wrong way Is the man we Will
end up by liking.
This common occurrence proves
that our so-called instructive dislikes
are not entitled to the credence we
give them. They are traitors to us,
and will be proved such by closer
acquaintance with the intended
victim. If we are thrown with the
man, and really make an attempt
to get his viewpoint, often enough
we find him not such a bad chap,
after all. We forget his mannertsms,
and his yellow gloves. and discover
that these are merely surface mani
festations. In time of need he may be
the kindest neighbor in the world.
On the other hand, there are men
who please us at first, but who, upon
closer acquaintance, reveal them
selves for what they are, and from
whom we painfully begin to back
away.
One would think offhand that
after a man has had one or two such
experiences, in youth, he would begin
to realize that it is not safe to make
a announcement about any one,
even to himself, yet experience
teaches us that nothing is more
common.
We go through life the prey to
these almost involuntary likes and dis
likes. generally making but little
effort to counteract their effects. re-
fusing to try to see the best in others,
only too glad to harp upon some little
fault.
We even pride ourselves If we can
bring ourselves to proceed upon the
old maxim, Live and let live" This
old maxim, one of the oldest thoughts
in the world. marked one of the great
advances of man toward genuine civil.
lization. But a greater advance is
necessary, if the high hopes of hui

Going back to 'the great decade in
Chicago's history that closed the nine

ments of that time Mr.. Gage took q
leading part. A man of culture and
vision, he worked effectively to turn
the thoughts of his fellow citizens
from mere money-getting and induce
them to give the city true elements
of greatness. 1t was not by chance
that Mr.. Gage became the first presi
dent of the board of directors Of the
World Columbian Exposition. a body
of men chosen with extreme care from
among the strongest and most capable
citizens of the community. During
his service in that high position he led
in the planning of the greatest Of

toward making it the wonderful sue

Horsewhips.

The Associated Press cables from
Monte Carlo that Lille Langtry, com
menting on the recent Gladstone libel
case, said she preferred the days when
such affairs were settled with a horse
whip instead of being aired in courts.
The horsewhip handled with discre.
ton by male relative of conservative
and judicial temperament may have
it's use. In the hands OF gentleman
of overrash and touch-and-go temper
the horsewhip has been known to lead
TO disagreeable results. There lie no
reason why horsewhip should be pre-

land ii could be exasperating and cut.
ting when used by an expert driver of
yoked steers. A horsewhip may have
definitions. Most persons think that
a horsewhip is a buggywhip, the long,
slender thing Of whalebone or reeds,
with a colored lash or Cracker, .
which stood upright in the whip socket
on the right side of the patent leather
dash OF the buggy. But there are, or
were, other kinds of horsewhips. For
example. the riding whip, made Of
whitleather, with half.pound ball of
lead in the handle, may also be called
horsewhipped with it unless they
knocked down their adversaries first.
Horsewhipping a man was never really
polite. 1t was better form to cane a
man-that is, beat him about the head
with a walking stick.
One of the most effective whips was
the blacksnake whip, but it was more
nearly a bullwhip than a horsewhip.
Any horse OF spirit felt himself justi-
fed in kicking to death a man with
that sort of q whip.
There is some merit in Lille Lang
try's observation about SANDER and
horsewhips. 1t might seem to have
some especial merit in the case of
those who SANDER women and dead
men. 1t is believed that not one fair
word can be justly said in behalf of
the whipping post for wifebeaters, but
in the case of slanderers of women and
horsewhips-well, that is another ques-
ton

Use ''Dead'' Deposits for
Loans to Veterans

To the Editor of The Star:
Answering Mr.. George Lawton's
very sensible letter concerning veter-
ans loans and which is we'll taken
and unanswerable by Mr.. Taylor, may
1 offer a suggestion that most honest
people will indorse.
In the banks and other financial
institutions Of the United States
there are millions of dollars belonging
to dead depositors. Why not lend the
veterans this money? The legal heirs
OF these depositors are unaware of its
existence; it does not belong to the
bank; so even should the United
States Government not pay the loan,
the banks would not lose any of their
own money or have to make 1t good.

every one will agree that it would
be uncomfortable FOR Young's man

way out. II the boy is only IL years

Everybody's speakin'
