P 'n.. Point of View Makes a 3 uvally Is. (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) 1t makes a tremendous difference in the looks of things—one's point ol view.

They'ro un- recognizable to anybody except balloon- ist a farmer such a photo- graph of his own barnyard and he'll be apt to ask whether it was taken in thu or on the moon. We aren't ac- customed to looking at our farms from a mile up in the air. When we do, the point of view has so altered th nd;ect of things that they a ia stran, almost lmp“llhlt the little pine grove, for You've been accustomed to look at It eldeways and from below, and T, Thlre I vou, ing tvely against the distant sky, But when you look down om' them, they have quite disappeared.

The highways of Jite are hung thick with just such par- ti-colored shields, and they are trav- ersed by horses of one-eyed, one- tdead, stubborn and pigheaded knighte, who llve all their lives through pos- wessed of the belfef that things are the way they happen to see them: that | the whole shield must be white, it ]lhe that side they are staring at is white; their point of view is the only possibe | point of view, and that anybody who doesn't see things as they do s either = knave or a fool. this narrowness and stubbornness. emong country people than among city eople.

The countryman lives by himself and to himself and in himself, @nd comes to have an exaggerted sense of his own accuracy of vision, just be- cause he is thus self-dependent.. He | has to rely on his own observation for most of his information. He grows to put, sometimes, a little too much confi- | dence in it. The city man lives in a | coop and Is compelied, by the very fact that he's alwvays in a crowd, to notice | that some people are color blind, and that somo are cross-eved, and that some are always looking down or be- hind or within or any way except straight ahead.

That's about the only practieal use of argument, anyway—to enablé vou in mee how that other fellow views the subject, in order that, having acquired his point af view and looked your problem over from it, you may coolly and judiclally put it upto your neutral reason to decide which of you has the truest eyesight.
