The insurgents subseribe #to the platform resolutios “We declare our unfaltering adher- ence fo the policies thus inaugurated and.'pledge their continuance under a republican administration of the gov- erament.” They have not departed from the faith, but invited the democrats to act with them, and they have so act- ed, making insurgent victories, not democratic_victorles. It is urged that these men have not been making pub- lic sentiment but acting upon the re- publican demand back of them; and that they are as true republicans now as when Taft was elected to office. They all confidently expect to be re- “lected to congress on the records they have made, ad should this be the result of the elections in Novem- ber the truth of the above definition of insurgency will have to be accept- ed; and it looks as if a re-election would be their reward. NOT A WHITED SEPULCHRE, The portly gentlemen of today will find consolation in the conclusions of Dr. George M. Niles of Georgia con- serv cerning their ample tissues and rotund fronts, for he does not regard them a victims of an inordinate appetite, or types of an overloaded and dying ype of his fellow men. This is what the doctor has to say with regard to fat and its uses: “The conclusion is obvious that by its comcentrated fuel-power fat pre- s other tissues, especially the al- buminous, from destruction by oxida- tion and is valuable as a reserve force, instantly available when any vital emergency requiring it arises. “We might with propriety liken fat to the housewife who, though not ap- parently. earning anything, by her care and industry conserves the fruits of her husband bor, enabling him not only to support the domestic es- ablishment, but also to 1 aside a surplus.

Talent and genius and power are ite heritage of no race or family, but it is to be found in all races and families. The same may be said of virtue and vice and attainment. The family of econ- omies and a competence often breeds spendthrifts who sink to the depths of squalor; and from the poorest rise the rich and powerful. You may have no- ticed how an atmosphere of ease and elegance and virtue produces the op- posite, hence the old proverb about ministers’ sons and deacons’ daughters. The natural order of things upsets man's calculations. Life is & mys- tery to all—the hows and the whys we cannot fathom makes of it a_riddle. The “whatever is is right” of Pope, has not received popular endorsement, but in whatever is there is a_purpose. Life is a school and experience is the teacher. - Blessed is he who has learn- ed life's lessons well. Loyalty is a prime virtue. And it s cultivated in one form and another by all peoples. It is set forth in the 1 of loyalty to truth, loyalty to obligations, loyalty to country and flag, and last but not least loyalty to he better promptings of the heart. last is living close to one’s ideals honoring the better self—is to live up to the good promptings of the spirit; and it always encounters oppo- sition’ and costs much. The keystone of the arch of life is found right here; and the stature of the spiritual man is made or dwarfed by his conduct when the heart says “Be true!” No one knows when we are false to our hearts but ourselves—it is here self-respect is made less or more. Every man who is true is conscious of strength gained —every man who is false is conscious. of weakne: Hypocrisy walks with a. high head but it always carries a cowardly heart, o | have never known what to make of the good man who likes to take himself by the scruff of the neck and hold himself up to a gaping assembly of people as a scarecrow. He claims to have been redeemed, but he takes more pride in that former shady ca- reer than any other life picture he has created. Who likes to listen to tales of the wickedness of a man? The world is generally of the opinion that such figures are best buried deenp and mourned For purposes of little avail since v are of simply a bad life held beside a profession of goodness. (Good- need not be talked about, for it is one of the most self-evident things. Goodness needs no demonstration since it _demonstrates itself all the time. What a man has been is of yesterday and passed—what he is of today and to be seen. Some people appear to think that incivility to some classes of people is a sign of their cwn high culture. They would be shocked if they were famil- larly addressed by the common peo- ple: and are doubtless ignorant of the fact that members of the roval fam- ilies abroad like to be pleasantly and familiarly addressed by _ peasants. True _aristocra always beams on true democra and they are not at odds. True shoddy attempts to im- press others of its superiority by i ferior manners, and this is its chief mistake. A king can afford to be po- | lite to a beggar, and it really might be to his advantage to be so. There is no knowing when any person may be of the utmost value to you. Put the knife of conten into people and you will reap what you sow in time. Do not let yourself think that life is a failure whatever happens, for it is far better to think of it as an experi~ ence. Our theories do not work out— our plans do not lead to achievement when we think that they should. The orderly lives are not a glittering The triumphs of life are om the depths up—the failures from the heights down, when viewed from the point of weaith or soci The mastery of life is in the mind that ie conscious of its relation to God and of dai pe r to operate through it.

The period of gush and posies and lavender is br is alv memorable if it does not end in sadness. This is the only period of life in which some people concentrate, and if it has sap and sugar enough in it a sweet memory of it lingers through life. pered in | have noticed that a boy likes to work when he is given a choice of em— ployment.

The boy knows what he wants but he doesn't always know how to get there. Many a man has had a business wo- man for a wife who never trusted her with enough of his earnings to find it out A few men who have been over- ken by misfortune have been sur- prised when the wife took up the bur- dens of the house and distinguished herself by earning more money than he ever did, or. perhaps, ever-could. Many a business woman has lived in agony because she had a husband whé knew how to earn money, but not how to judiciou. spend or save it, or how to m a wife profitable who possessed the talents he lagked. It has been well said that the nufwber of fools in this world is endless. Some men cannot have a good time unless they are making everyone else miserable. * They insist on doing what family and friends don’t want them to: they glory in doing what the law says they <hall not do. This is the kind of man whao. thinks that happiness con- sists in finding a wet smile in a dry town. He is never ashamed to sneak, but seldom has courage enough to be a man. He conspires to have fun and he doesn't appear to care who it an- noys. - Home to him is a sort of re- treat—he never goes home only when he has to. and finally every member of the family is sorry when they see him coming. He just upsets the equi- librium of home—is the demon who makes of it a that's what it amounts to! | do not see why a wife should ad- mire her husband unless he is admira- ble. Of course, all wives are supposed to admire their husbands regardless of their weaknesses and faults, What ed that one might wish opal gray were the color of the world. To most folk, perhaps the world is gray; pale, quiet, colorless; or heavy and dark and threatening; a gray monotonous, or a gray despairing. ps too many of us forget to “look up, not down,” and and gold, gleams of violet and amber, the opalescence of an ocean of sun- light shining all about us and in rifts and ripples shininghrough. e Whenever there is a gleam of sun- shine, my west window reflects it. The window is like an eye, opening to all the beauty of fleld and meadow, of tree and hill and wide horizon. Those of us who make friends with the sky know that it is always beautiful, be it dun or dull, gray or black, crimson- streaked or blue; that it is always in motion, ever changing, constantly pre- senting moving pictures that are never twice alike, and are interesting not be- cause of their beauty alone, but for all that they teach and reveal. There is exquisite beauty in a gray day—soft beauty that is half hidden and wholly illusive. If we look closely, we shall see that the grayest gray is never really dull, but rather a shimmer of rose and gold and violet, like bits if rainbow wreathed in mist. Fragments of rain- bow are always signs in the heaven, for those that have eyes to see. The sunset sky is radiant,and never so beautiful ag after a day of rain. ‘Watching it, it seems far off and elu- sive, with its great drifts of tinted cloud trailing across it, followed by delicate hints and tints of color that pale and palpitate as the sunset glories fade. The sky, though elusive, is fa- miliar; though far off, yet not distant nor remote. It bends above us, reach- ing down long shafts and ladders of light on which we may climb, If we will; climb high above the deepening dusk and the twilight of life, above the indefinable loneliness that tightens the heart when the last gleam of color dies into night. One of the deepest depri- vations of imprisonment must be to | be shut away from the familiar sky, | the great luminous dome that broods | us like a mother and companions us | like a friend. What measure of hope | can tinue to live in the hearts of those who are’ cut off from the inspira- tion of wide herizons, of boundless seas, the bursting of tree buds, the pa- geant of sunset, the limitless depths of starlit skies! To be friends with the sky means something immeasurable in our daily life. It means the look bevond, the lifted eves, -the uplifted heart; anl the looking up which makes the step by step, the day by day, the one day at a’time, both possible and bearable. To shut off the sweep of the sky is like denying to ouf fellow man his last, least hope in God. Here in my west, window I sit and wait, earnestly hop- ing for the day when the condemmel in his cell, the convict within prison walls, the toilers in sweat shops, the chilg laborers, the agedd and the sick in underground tenements, all may be given their birthright in freedom of fresh air and sunlight, of star lessons and nature studies, or less hopeless work and more leisure for wholesome play, more love and loving kindness, moré_courage and enlightenment and friendly fellowship, until the darkness and bewilderngent and sins of human ignorance shall be blotted out by the | dent, ir long, pointed the far-off blue and seem finger tips into the float- -drift. If we were children, not yet obscured by foliage, while we can still see the twigs lacing and inter- lacing between us and the sky, while the green of youth 1s springing and the blue of hope is shining down and through, it scarcely seems a long or weary c¢limb from earth to heaven. Among us all who, if he could choose, would climb alone? The race is a unit, all humanity is one. The cries of the oppressed réach hardly to the color-clouds that drift lowest. fore, he who is best equippe climbing, and might climb highest of all, he of the brave heart and whitest soul and helpful hand, will wait, pa- tiently wait, to help and to serve, un- til the last ‘and the least of the poor and the blind and the sin-stained shall have learned the way, out and up. Trees are my genial neighbors, while sky and sea are my next of One special friend of mine, my sentinel elm, tall, slender, symmetrical, com- pact, holding his branches well In hand, his elbows close to his sides, lifts himself straight up into the sky, where he feels at home and waves his plumed head in friendly greeting to his neigh- bor treetops and to all the world. Be- yond the elm Is set close to the street a tall, black post, as tall as a tree stem ‘without the branching top; a useful, prosaic, bare, blank, ugly post. AN through the day it is black and unsightly, but at night there swings from the arm of it a brilliant are light which illumines our lawn and shines in through my west window all night long. If it be a pillar of cloud by day, it is a most welcome pillar of fire by night; a kindly light; for it softens our angularities, reveais the sparkle of bubble-diamonds in the rain-pools along the drive, subordinates itself to the stars when they are visible and bravely makes a bright spot in a dark place when they are not: it sheds a gentle glow upon the midnight stu- the exhausted bread-winner, the tireless sick-bed watcher; it outlines the trees and the tracery of leafy vine upon the curtain and brings down a bit of sky into our night; best of all. it shines alike on the just and on the unjust. There never could be anything pret- tier than the western sky at this mo- ment. The clouds, gold-tinted, are now drifting away southward. Therg are banks against banks of them, the fleeciest and nearest sailing swiftly | past the banks of deep violet-blue and rosy-purple, and the blue-green, sea- green, indescribable green behind them. Overhead is a triangle of heavenly blue. The wet grass of the meadows | glistens responsive, the elm-crowns are glorified. 1 have been working, but gladly I toss my work aside. Who am I that I should toil when all na ture is at play? The gold-flecked clouds have gone lightly sailing by. There is stillness now, the stillness of motionless banks of violet, so full and thick and soft, and so charged with color that they look as thouvgh built into the sky forever. But ser, even as I write, they melt away and are gone. If we follow the west far snough we shall come into the east, and .begin again with the dawn. THE RIXCLUSE. a large part of them keep up a splen- did_ pretense at it—they will even praise the husband up when the world is running him down and giving a good reason for so doing. They can keep a straight face while they are doing it. While this is a common role in life, it is not an easy part to play. I rather like the woman who can do her whole duty in this respect, although I doubt whether she ever will be able to forgive herself for it. What a funny, funny world this is SUNDAY MORNING TALK The Limits of One's Business To what extent should we concern ourselves with what seems. to be pri- marily other folks' business, or with the affairs of the world at large? A pretty delicate question. There is usually a sharp rebuke waiting for the | man who apparently interferes with matters that are a little outside the range of his imm&diate responsibility. 1 happen. to belong to a club which without being wildly- soclalistic, does what it can to promise a finer public spirit and a better soclal order. Be- cause we seek to be somewhat ideali tic in our conceptions of life we were Teferred to recently as a group of “high-browed individuals who meddied with other’folks’ business.” The man who passed this facetious comment was convicted a little later of renting his property for immoral propose: Perhaps if one has to choose between high brows and unclean hands the average man would prefer the former. An amusing story is told of the great evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, who had the reputation in his native town of Northfield, Mass., of being tremendous- ly interested in all that went on. He used to drive about and catechise the farmers as to.their crops and stock and was not averse now and then to giving them a suggestion. One of these farmers who had known him from babyhood and who was an un- commonly shrewd and blunt person, and a stutterer besides, met him one morning and after exchanging the time of day proceeded as follows: “D'Dwight, you are a m'might smart r'fellow and you have traveled all over the world and you can do a I'lot of things, but there is one thing,D'Dwight, that you can’t do, and that is m’'mind your * own b'business.” Mr. Moody loved a joke o well even when it w on himself that he burst into an al most uncontrollable fit of laughter. In that incident and “the farmer's frank remark to his boyhood friend you have the old New England, highly individualistic, independent, self-cen- tered conception of life. Noble though it is, necessary as a part of the perfect philosophy of life, it is wofully incom- plete. Of course, Mr. Moody couldn’t mind his own business in the sense that the farmer meant. No one can who has felt the impulses of this great age in which we liv Take the whole missionary business at home and abroad. What is it but a dipping into other folks' busin . “Hands off,” says the pure individual ist, the man who prefers to sit down in his own cosy chimmey corner and let the world progress or go to the devil just ae it pleases “hands off.” What's the use of disturbing the folks that have other religions or no religions, it's pure “butting in.” ‘How would you like to have the Buddhists or the Mo- hammedans come over here and try and convert us? Such talk as that never has any effect on men who have caught the vision of a redeemed hu- manity. Or take the movement for restricting the Mquor traffic, a plain invasion of a domain that belongs primarily to other people. And yet town after town, city after city, kounty after county, state after state, are tyine stoutér and stouter cords about the venders of intoxicating beverages. An altogether wrong procedure on the sup- position that we must atiend.to our own business and to it 2lone. Or note the various checks upon business in general ‘that have been de- vised in recent years. Measures re- stricting the hours of labor, the hight of buildings, measures safeguarding freight brakemen and factory workers measures forbidding except under specified conditions —the employment of women and children, have first been agitated by a few then demanded by the many and finally enacted into law. It everybody had gone along all these years just minding his own little busi- ness, just tending hi$ own little doo vard, just praying, “Bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more” this tremendous ad- vance in public policies would never have been registered. No Mr. Strict Constructionist, you are entirely_in the wrong and behind the times. Never again try to stab a man who is honestly trying to help the world forward by teling him to go about his business. This was the angry suggestion which a rich man once made to his wife after Fr. Taylor, the celebrated preacher to sailors, had been interviewing her about her soul. “Hus- band,” she replied, “if you had heard him talk to me you would have thought he was about his business.” Whatever relates to the lifting of human burdens and to the suppres- sion of wrong is your business and mine, friend. This altruistic age has settled that point forever. THE PARSON. Effect of Musi There was an event in Chicago that illustrates the great power of music. It relates to a young lady who attended one of the Thomas orchestra concerts one day last week, and while the “1812" overture of Tschaikowsky was being played she left her geat in the parquet and wandered back in the foyer, mut- tering to herself continually, “It's beautiful! It's beautiful! IU's beauti- full” She was a handsomely dressed wo- man and displayed extreme nervous- ness. When some of the attendants of the house sought to find out who she was and to pacify her, she resented their attentions and told them to kecp away from her. She was actually overcome by the sweet music, and for a while lost all ontrol of herself. To- ward the close of the concert she re- gained her self-possession and left the hall in the rain. This is, of course, an exceptional in stance of the effect of music; but one has often noticed in a larger audience that listened to some splendid strains. how at the last leaping note there was a burst of applause that swept through the hall, showing how the excitement had been pent up to the last moment ang then let loose in a wild torrent of delight—Ohio State Journal.

Men Shoplifters. Women, when in the department stores, are o intent on bargain hunting they have little time to think of shop- lifting, according to the managers of the largest stores in London. Harry Selfridge, who was at ome time a member of the firm of Marshall Field & Co., qualifies this by saying that when a woman does become a shoplift- er it is due to “a perversion of the barguin-hunting instinet.” Mr. Selfridge, whose experiencce in both America and England qualifies m to judge, declares the British stores are not sufferers to the same extent as are those in America. The habit, how- cver, is on the increase in London, ac- cording to the policce statistics and the statements of the mangers. Tradesmen find that men are more prone to petty thievery than are wo- men. The class of criminals who enter this field are generally of the lower type and mot brilliant enough to ex- ecute any large robbery. When suf- ficiently indulged in, the habit cannot be shaken off, and it is only a question of time until the culprit gets caught. Shoplifting on the part of women is due to & craving for an article which causes the affiicted one to lose moral consclousness. I successful, the second step is simple, and thereafter they continue in the false path until caught.
