It is the raight way to constant turmoll—it 15 the correct way of becoming chron- fc grouches ourselves. We all have our share of faults and what do not come by inheritance we readily ac- quire. Fault-finding makes trouble in the house, fn the church, in the state—it has spoiled good husbands, wives, children, neighborhoods and societles. The eye for the fault of another is an evil eye—the habit of dwelling up- on the faults of others is a scavenger habit. Seeking the good is a com- pensating occupation, for it means daily betterment of the seekers and of those they see good in—it is the bright light'which gives the right col- or to one's conduct and one’s views. What we regard as faults may not be so regarded by others. Our little measure of propriety is usually a very short measure. The best that may be said of it is that it is ours; and the the best that can be done with it'is 1o keep it to measure ourselves rather than to measure others. People regarded as the worst have a few good qualities; and people recog- nized as among the best have a few Pad ones. There never has been but one perfect person, and He was put 10 death. To look for the perfect per- son would be a futile quest. We may search for little goodnesses with per- fect confldence everywhere, for we ghall find them; and it is the little goodnesses of life which are a stay to fault-finding and builders up of the charity which s silent when it cannot praise. If we would grow better day by day we should scek goodness—if we would become worse there is no quicker way than in cultivating the fault-finding eye and the scathing tongue. SO HELP ME GOD! There is a movement on foot to amend the oath used in courts so that the help of God shall not be evoked, the movers evidently considering these words to be superfluous—neither or- namental nior useful as the climax of a legal oath. The movement originated In the District of Columbia and will come efore congress and promises to stir | p & hornets’ nest. It will have the pupport of people who dislike to see traditional customs dropped and also of those who esteem it as & value in bolding man loyal to truth. Others object to the entire oath because a man of principle doesn’t need it, and man of no principle will not heed But it is Dot likely to be eliminated, gince it is the oatl the peoplée have taken since the foundation of the gov- grnment. The president, the defend ers of the flag, all freemen of the rountry, and every officer, elective and )ppointive, in the entire land. There ran be no serfous objection raised to It, unless it be on the yart of the few who say that they cannot entlously take such an oath, and this Plass has included clergymen of dif- | ferent denominations. Since the people have demanded that God should be inserted in the Constitution, and would not let “In God We Trust” be removed from the «coins, they should not be expected to endorse this change. A DAB AT PIE. The Mothers' club of Providence announces that ple never developed a noble character. Why this announce- ment? Did any one ever claim that ple did have this effect upon the ris- ing generation>—Newburyport News. It there is anything ignoble about ple, why didn't these ladies point out what it 1s? There is no evidence that Solomon did not love pie. The person who made the first pie was a genius, | while the concocter of the modern ple was no less. A proverb several hun- dred years old says, “He had his fing- er in the pie when he burned his nail oft.” ‘This must have been when the ple first began to hint that it should be eaten with a fork, and just see how stupid man was, for it was cen- turles before he recognized the risk he took of enlarging his mouth by the careless use of the knife. St. Paul never condemned ple in his letters to the Bphegians. Perhaps the proverb, “A good thing Is"soon snatéled up,” would never have dawned on the mind of man ifuit. had not been for ple. We cannot tell, of course, wheth- er pie developed the cook, or the cook developed the pie. If the pie developed the cook, one noble character must | e set off to its credit. The utility of ple has been recognized by its worst enemies, who say that It promotes in- sdigestion, and is a help to the doc- tors. How did it ever get into pl-e-ty if it is so awful bad? If pie never developed a noble character it has ‘brought out sterling pie-knives. Good ple never gets into jail, but is always on hand at church suppers. Tt doesn't Jook as if pie is half as black as it is painted. A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. The Norwalk Hour has a libel suit upon its hands for $25.000, brought by the Rev. George D. Egbert of,the Congregational church for loss of Tep- utation and anxiety of mind, in con- sequence of the printing of the “Para- e of the Misguided Shepherd,” which the reverend gentleman alleges means him and The Hour makes no denial. There appears to be no reason why The Hour should lose appetite or &leep over the “situation, since its offence was in taking sides in a controversy over Sunday baseball between Rep. resentative M. R. Bennett and the Rev. Mr. Egbert, who from his pulpit charged the former with being false to his promise not to favor the gam L ‘and between them there s a dispute as 10 the exact language used in this pul- pit denunciation of a representative. The Hour's parable was undoubtedly ‘very racy and interesting reading to | v i most everybody in town and it fitted Jike a glove to tie hand the case; and ‘then in his grief over hard knocks the reverend gentleman proceeded to take actlon in the courts for redress, putting his damages at a very high state against the press, the sw;:mt, should not cultivate the expectations of getting much money or satisfaction out of the case. There will be consid- erable experience in it for him, which he may really need. In political controversies of * this kind, warm comments aré usually made, and in the midst of the egeite- ment a few things are likely to be said that are not so. When the furore is over experienced men wake up, then rest, forget and forgive, and Tesume their good nature. We have here an exception, and it will be likely to be regarded with the lax sympathy which it merits. No one has suffered extremely and no one but Mr. Egbert will take a 25,000 view of the damages. 1f all men under equal provocation appealed | to the courts for damages, the courts would have twice as many cases tipon the docket as at present. Let us | have peace, s a good motto, THE TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN. The fight against the white plague is world-wide and necessarily munici- pal for populous centers. The city of Augusta, and Richmond county, Me., have just established a camp for the ‘benefit of consumptives near that city, and The Chronicle says of it: “The camp is situated in the yard of the county home, about six miles from the city, where the air is pure and_sweet and calculated to bemefit to the utmost. The style of the camp is the Loomis lean-to. Dr. A. E. Oer- tel, president of the Richmond county Anti-Tuberculosis society, was called in to select the plans fqr the building, and as the best for all purposes he selected the lean-to. The building is long and narrow. The ends and back of it are closed, the front unprotected save by a can- vas curtain, In clear weather, the curtain will_remain up; in rainy. should the rain be from the front, it can be lowered. The end of the build- ing nearest the road is for the use of women. Ten iron beds will be placed in the women’s department. About the middle of the department is a door leading into a locked room, in which is a closet, bath and shower bath. There is another door leading to the matron’s department. Separating the men’s department from the women's department is a partition. ' The ar- rangement of the men's department is identical with that of the women's. Everything in the lean-to has been painted spotless white. In cold weath- er the goodly supply of blankets will be furnished the inmates, so that in all weathers they will be sleeping out of doors. Dr. Oertel in speaking of the Loomis lean-to and the Loomis sanitorium mentioned that this style of lean-to was used in New York state winter nd summer. Often the thermometer is below zero, but the inmates remain out as if it were the middle of sum- mer, Fresh air everywhere and at all times secms fo be the motto of the |lean-to. The inmates f the Rich- | mond county tuberculosis camp will | be given plenty of nourishing, whole- some food. Nurses will be on duty at | all hours. ~These nurses are to be | furnished from the city hospital at the city's expense. The county stood | the expense of the building. These sanitoriums are not expen- | sive and the prospect is that there will | be before many years one in each county of Connecticut, since such ex- cellent reports are made from the, one we have, EDITORIAL NOTES. When it comes to giving out advice, President Taft scems to know how to do it judiciously. | ik If Mayor Gaynor does not feel like honoring old promises he still con- tinues to talk well. It would be a good thing if bad | habits oftener made men so tired of them that they quit Happy thought for today: Those who talk most in this world appear to be fated to say the least. Mr. Hearst can get into any kind of a political fight .and make a show, and | that is not such a mean distinction. i It stands forth good and sharp that Americans are the best fed people on earth, if they are not the best gov- erned. Chicago has shown that protection | is mot of much account to a saloon | when the bomb-thrower is on his travels. |""The German story that they have found a tree that furnishes a fibre as good as southern cotton makes that section smile: | The public is told so many things | that are not so that it does not ques- | tion onme per cent. of them. It just lets them pass. It looks as if the fusionists had forced Tammany to change its diet, and that may be the very best thing ‘that could happen to it. Boston had elght candidates filed for the mayoralty of the city on the first day; and there are others likely to present themselves for public favor. Now we hear from Africa that Roosevelt has tired all the hunters out; and, If reports are correct, he has made the big game a little weary. Mayor Gaynor says the mayor of New York has all-power, and that the board of apportionments have no con- trol whatever over the spending of the money. > Well-meaning men often have very erroneous ideas, and they cannot tell where they got them any more than the darkey could tell where he found the chicken. Prebendary Hutchinson i an active London pastor at the age of 100 years, and he has not missed a Sunday serv fce this year. Youth could not do better than that. The Hallowe'en fire alarms at Springfield were so frequent that they tired out the firemen and horse Bpringfield is supposed to be a well- governed city, too! 5 The Chicago professor who is of the opinion that mothers should never be allowed to bring up their own children is living up to the eccentricities of the Packingtown professors, When the postoffice department opens Itself for all kinds of pareel- carrying business it no longer will be cursed by a deficit. The eutlook now for improvement is mot good. Lend of Remance. A Frankfort couple, aged 70 and 71, pave just been marrled. Frankfort is the capital of a state i whieh ro- mance knows no age lmit.—Louis- ville Courier-Journal, : ey ‘We owe more to the animals than we this n to their recaleitrant conduct, The entire fabric of Eddy- ism is sald by critics to have been built upon Quimby, the mental healer, and Quimby’s salvation rests upon the per- versity of a balky horse. Men are taught some things in this world of ours in a wonderful way. Quimby had no health and he had no hope, for the medical profession of his re- garded him beyond cure. He was so wegk that he was hardly to be trust- h a balky horse, and when the -?muu came to a standstill at the foot of a hill, Quimby sat for an hour wait- ing for some one to assist him. He finally got out of the carriage and took the horse by the head, and then the horse dragged him up the hill at a rate of speed Quimby was totally incapable of making. He thought it meaqt deats to him, but it didn't—ix meant lifey Fle found himself re-cner- gized dfter his experience and from his study of the lesson the horse taught him he built up his whole won- derful theory which has been a help to thousands. , I notics that there is a movement on foot among the wealthy residents of large American cities io combine and buy playgrounds for their chil- dren. Their broad estates are not adapted to the training of children right, Exclusiveness is not good for the children of the rich or poor. As- socjation and fellowship and athletic training and direction in~ games are good for all; and there is economy in such a project. If playgrounds are needed in the cities for the children of the rich they are needed more for the children of the poor. Bvery school district needs a playground with com- petent supervision of the childrenand efficient instruetors in exercises. City streets do not furnish good schooling for boys. It is surorising Americans have not taken their children out of the streets, away from the lewd and the profane before. Young America deserves to be better brought up—de~ serves better care—deserves better training, and in the near future he is coming into his full inheritance. The purple haze of these late warm days of fall beckon to me to get out into the open—to get out and trolley for a hundred miles just to see the woods and pastures in gala dress. How the trees glow in their contrasted relations—the russets and the browns and the greens increase the brilllancy of the yellows and the reds. How the maples are individualized by their fan- cy for red and yellow of every tone, but only occasionally do we one all aglare—some are flecked with red through the green, some wave a crim- son branch at us, and some wear their colors as some of these fashionable little women wear trimming on a cocked hat—massed to one side. The sumachs and the huckleberry bushes glow in the pastures so recently dotted with goldenrod ant asters, and the elms wave their bare branches to- ward the lair of the Frost King as if inviting him.to comd on with all his forges. Nature is jaunty as well as fierce. Mr. Intolerof Buttinsky is not a Rus- sian or a Prussian, an Asian or a Turk, although, as the result of his perform— ances, he often appears like the latter. He sometimes appears to have com- bined in himself the intolerance and virtue of ‘every tribe, and he asserts bimself when it would be better should he sit in silence, for to tell t*o truth Mr, Buttinsky always makes i mess of it. We met him not long ago while traveling and saw him irritate the conductor of a passenger coach so that he cxclaimed: “What's the matter with you? You must have gotton out of the wrong side of bed this morning!” He had complained that an-innocent 100k~ ing passenger had smoked in the car, in which there were ladies, and there was no odor of smoke to support his charge, and no one else knew an thing about it: and the passenger as- cafled said not a word; but Mr. But insky fretted and fumed in a w would have been a credit to his Simian forbears, for twenty miles or more, and | then withdrew from the company his| antics had amused more than offended. It was a strange performance shd mortified the ladies in his company, but they could mot run away fro him. Have you seen the blue hat for men? These hats are not as shocking as we feared they might be. Not as “sissi- fled” as we anticipated. Any man who could unblushingly wear the green felt need not hesitate to don the blue. It is not baby blue, or sky blue, or indigo Dlue, but one of those rich deep blues vou see upon old china. It becomes some young men, but no old man could ever look well in it. It was not de- signed for a head that carries whiskers on its face and chin. Youngsters in the bluejay period of life look very well indeed under it, and the girls may venture to praise the boys who wear them for their taste and beauty. No matron should be expected to look on them with favor except for a baby boy. A cigarette does not look well under the blue hat, so that the combination is not an approvable one. The blue hat {s not Iikely to become everybody's at. There are precious things in type, and T feel sorry that I cannot remem ber more of them. A brother writes: “lI am striving my utmost to live a true, pure and upright life. My aim is to so live that the world will pe better for my having lived in it. T am often asked if 1 am a Christian? I have but one answer to this question and it is this: ‘Tt my life shows' that I am a Christian-then I am a Christian; but if my life does not show that I am a Christian, of what good is professing to be a Christian.’ I have heard folks say when asked this question: ‘I pro- fess to be!’ and that ‘I was born of Christian parents, in a Christian coun- try, am protected by a Christian flag and have the honor of always being enumerated when the population of the Christian world is taken.'” How weak these answers seem beside the reply ‘of the man who is trying to make. the world better for his having lived in it —the man who is striving to put more good into life than he gets out of it. . A good many persons do not real ize how they may sin against them- selves as well as against their neigh- bor. Violating the laws of one's be- ing and becoming an invalid is as much of a sin'as pronfanity or sense- less prayer, and intolerance of a neigh- bor is mo ‘less a sin than slandering him. A dolt cannot live an orderly life. It takes thought and energy to live right. It takes a well-balanced mind. A man may be a famous schol- ar and suffer frofn his total ignor- ance of the simplest rules of living: and he may be a model of plety in his relations to others and not know how to treat himself right. Igno ance is not condemned to dwell in darkness, for it is dailysfound in 'minds supposed to be illuminated, The most important learning is that which pro-, motes our physical as well as mental well-being. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and yet how little the average man knows Or cares about the laws of health, for us to look each , that Is glaring. It is not common for us to look other creatures God has made In the eye, for few -realize that it can be edif: ing or humanizing.

The message kindled none of her former hopes; misfortune had long eaten them from her sorrow-lackened heart and filled the void with a dull, aching de- spair; it simply offered a means of escape to a soul pantcrlflckm by the gaunt specter of wanf, Disaster had torn her ambition to shgeds and warp- ed her nature to a brooding despond- ency. She glanced at the cracked mirror and saw the lines stamped on her face by privation; the chalky pallor that had blotted out, lttle by little, the wildflower prettiness, and fash- ifoned a dreadful image of her suffer- ings. The glass itself with its broken streak cuttine across her ghastly mir- rored features marked her a failure. “What's the use?” she mtttered dul- ly, passing her hand wearily over her forehead. “He loves me; he will be and Tll be a good wife. But the payment! the payment!” ce sank to an awed, fearful whisper that found Its counterpart in the look of numb misery in her eyes. An acute pain tore at the remnants of her_resolution \ The metallic click of the charwo- man’s pall in the lower hall startled her. Feverishly, in an impulse of de- cision, she put ‘onyher hat, drew her #habby coat close\ about 'her. body, and walked blindly towards the door. As she crossed the threshold she heard the low, tremulous notes of a violin from the room opposite. “It is Franz!” she half sobbed, paus- ing and straining to catch the faint melody that sounded like a wailing echo of her grief. “| problem of how to reduce Ennnnn{ 2 and on to infinity, sweetness in the sound 10 She ey sout-of the.Js held her in its grasp. It whispered farewell of a vanishing past tthuh took with it all that was dear o her. Gradually the tremulous notes deep- éned into a solemn plea, as though the faint echoes had been welded intb a chorusing prayer, divinely directed to touch into life the deadened chords of her jnner nature. Each note, drawn full by the master hand of genius, brought direct to her the earnest of a warning that halted her involuntar- ily before the closed door. Each re onant tone velled in its solemn invo- cation a prophecy of a future remorse and quickened the growin~ respon- siveness of her seared heart. A pleading note entered Into the calm solem: of the music, coloring the harmony with a strain of human anghish that flashed its appeal to the sufferer outside. It was now the lover who spoke in the passionate whispered murmurings that lulled her soul to a temporary oblivion_and attuned the dissonant, jangling chords of her heart to a long-forgotten melody. The tense clutch of her fingers tightened on the railing; her bosom heaved; a growing life with its promise stole into her veins and struggled with the sordid stupor. The tempo of the music sped faster and faster, making the particles of the air ring with a poignant harmony which gathered a twofold force from her emotion. The echoes, the pulsa- tions, the faint murmurings grew un- tl), with an _overwhelming burst of melody, the whole swelled to a mighty heart-throb which brought a flood of joyous tears to her eyes. She sank to her knees and laid her head against the sleeves of her faded walst. “I can’t” she sobbed, brokenly. *I can’t.”—Boston Post. The man who said as he stood eyeing a deer: “I could shoot my brother as quickly as I could deliberately kill that beautiful creature!” felt the magnetic power of confidence and beauty. If the eyes of birds and beakts were studied by us mercy would bhave a stronger hold upon our hearts and be sooner written upon the woods of which we are the supreme masters. I have been, surprised all my life by the staying powers of a bad tem- per. It will stay right in the midst of professions of piety and pious habits, and when it breaks oyt all the rest ap- pears to tumble in. How the divine spirit and & bad temper can ever become so closely associated I cannot imagine. A temper that tvould fit Satan is unfit for a Christian. Some people honestly mistake a devilish temper for righteous indignation. I have come to bank more on divine calmness than upon righteous indig- nation. I think calmness = oftenest wins the day. Of course, I may be mistaken, for we do not all see things as they really. are. I have noticed that two righteously indignant per- sons act like two unrighteously mad individuals, and say just as mean things. Anger is not very creditable, whatever the label may be that it wears. The unflustered person is the person of power, and I am not sure one such cannot put 10,000 of the oth- er kind to flight. SUNDAY MORNING TALK. HAS THE ‘AGE OF MIRACLES PASSED? Senie people believe that miracles never happened. Some believe that miracles once happened but gradually or suddenly ceased to happen. Some belleve that miracles happened in the past, are happening today and will happen in the future. It is an inter- esting subject on which to speculate. e indications are that it is bound to be discussed vigorously during the Dext ten years. As in all animated debates mueh depends on your definition. If you start with the dogmatic definition that a miracle is an event contrary to na- ture’s laws you are likely to ‘draw from the premise’certain conclusions. But if your idea is that a miracle is a suspension of certain ordinary meth- ods of nature's working through the operation of a higher and possibly not yet fully understood law. of nature, then you may find a place in your philosophy for miracles In our day we, have come to put a high valuation upon the uniformity of the natural order. Science then becomes possible, fpr science is the orderly arrangement and correlation of ascertained and verified facts. We are all glad to live in a world in which the majesty of the natural order shines out so impressively. We should not care to live in a happy-go-lucky universe. It would embarrass us greatly if the sun now and then took a fancy to rise in the west, or the nort shstar shifted its position occas- ionally to any part of the heavens which it took & notion to visit. It we should throw an ax into the water and it should float instead of sink we should feel that there was something uncanny and “spooky” about such a phenomenon. All our coming and go- ing in the world, our buying and sell- ing, our planting and harvesting, our work and play, proceed on the as- sumption that cause produces effect, that nsture may be relied on to do as it has done for uncounted generations of men. And yet our modern respect for law and order should not make us intel- lectually arrogant, as though we had discovered all the secrets of the uni- verse. Are not the most marvelous things happening right before our own eves? Flylng through the air would have been to our grandfather an im- possible fact. But in the course of a few decades that may be a familiar and frequently employed mode of lo- comotion. We have not yet exhausted the mar- vels that accompany the expanding life of man and the constantly un- folding universe of God. For when you once admit the being of God you open the door for the possibility of what we call miracle. Immanent as he is in his creation he is not so en- meshed in it that he cannot employ the unusual and the unfamiliar, not arbitrarily of course, not fantastically, but to serve the ends of his own gra- cious thought for men. Here is an express train sweeping through the country. Never before has it stopped half way through a certain stretch of farm lands, but one day the whistle suddenly toots, the brakes are sharply applicd and the great transcontinental express comes fo a’ halt miles from any regular station. Why? A baby happened to be playing on the tracks and the man at the throttle was a father. 8o because God is the father of all men he may suspend a certain regular order for the sake of a child or a group of his children. And if Christ were a chosen representative of God endowed with exceptional powers, he might produce certaln exceptoinal ef- fects, not that he might secure there- by bread and homage and power but that men might be cured of their dis- case, have their hunger satisfled and moral natures renewed.

She is a negro and the founder of a hospitul and nurses’ training school for colored people in Colum- bia. She was graduated from the Wo- man’s Medical college in Philadelphia and began the practice of medicine in Columbia about ten years ago. Capt. Roald Amundsen’s foot sloop Gjoa, in which he made the northwest passage through the Arctic ocean from the north Atlantic to the Bering sea, is now the property of the city of San Francisco. The famous vessel is to be placed in a conspicu- ous position at the extreme western confines of the Golden Gate park. Senator Gore of Oklahoma, although blind, was an interested ‘“spectator” of the flights of the Wright brothers near Washington. He complained that he was unable to wateh the flights as successfylly as a baseball game. A Golf Story. ‘While a competition was taking place between four prominent profes— sionals in the west of England some tralners, who had been In the habit of galloping their horses over parts of the links, came on to the course. By way of inducing the men to take an interest in the game, and so keep the horses as much off 'the course as rossible, the club officials invited some of them'to watch the play. They con- sented. After they had watched the game for some time one of them was asked his opinion of golf. “Well,” he replied, “after seeing some of You play your approach strokes and the number of divots you remove,what puzzles me s why you should com- plain about the damage done by our horses ?"—Strand. is that expenditure, It can be authori- tatively that this administration re- this as the largest it to deal with. It has the grumblings of the o a realization 18, at last, a widespread demand that in ti expenditure of money by federal, state, county and _municipal government shall cease. Only a week before he left Washington last summier, Presi- dent Taft called the members of his cabinet together in special session, and gave them to understand the es- timates from the several departments on which the appropriations made by congress at the coming session will be based, must show retrenchment. These estimates have all been prepared, and as soon as the president gets back here and can get his cabinet together the figures will be scanned. No one knows the amodint of the reduction which these yestimates show in comparison With the billion dollars appropriated by congress for this fiscal year. One thing everybody here does know, and that is that the demand for money was never more urgent than it is at) this time. Unquestionably President Taft is anxious to stand between con- gress and the United States treasw he sees the mecessity of his admini tration making a record for economy, but time only will show whether he can really accomplish anything in this direction.—Washington Letter to Bos- ton Transcript. Where It Came From. An American tourist, the story goes, went to Germany in his car to see the last army maneuvers. He was im- presed with what he saw, and espe- cially with the brigade of motor am- bulances, motor baggage wagons and so forth. As the tourist watched the maneu- vers, fror a seat ander a trse, the ax- le of a motor ambulance broke. -In- stantly the men leaped out, ran into the village, returned. in a jiffy with a new axle, fixed it in place with won- derful mechanical _skill, and teuf- tenffed off again almost as good as new. “There’s efficiency,” said the Am can_tourist, “There’s German efficien— cy for'you. No matter what breaks, there's a stock on hand to supply the naeded part from.” And, ‘praising the remarkabie ex- ample of German efficlency he had just witnessed, the tourist refurned to the village and ordered up his car, to find he couldn’t use it, as an axle was miss- ing.~Washington Star.
