TAFT'S POSITION. When the American Bar associa- tion selected William H. Taft as its president, it made choice of a man who is not only eminently qualified for it, but whe perhaps better than any- one else has the best opportunity for accomplishing the greatest amount of good thereby. The law has been Mr. Taft's life study. He has from time to time given most valuable sugges- tions concerning the judiciary. His appointments which he was able to make as president reflected the respect which- he has for the administration of fustice, and a recognition of the demands of the benci for the most capable men and a simplification of t procedure in the interest of the litigants, Mr. Taft has this week declared himself upcn the benefits of the ap- pointive judiciary, and pointed out the lependence and strength whe=, such | es, in a manner which cannot but | appeal to all avho have to do with | and judges.

Perhaps you may have no- | ticed that noble activity makes room for itself, while ignoble activity gener- ally makes room for some one else. What we do has more to de with our advance or degration than what we say. The force of words depends upon the character of the man behind them, for the man appears to be compelled to put something of himself into his speech, Some one has saidi “Tell me what a man eats, and 1 will tell you what he is!” It may as well be said: “Tell me how a man acts, and I will tell you what he is” Good words without action are dead, as illustrated | by wholesome laws which for lack of action have become a dead letter. ‘We may profess what we please, what we do tells whether we are men, or imposters. We laugh at the . ostrich because he hides his head and thinks he is_safe; but is he half as ridiculous as men who say one thing and do an- other? | It would not harm us if we dwelt in thought more upon the power of mind, for that might inspire us to practic |the self-control and self-denial by | which the mind may be made greater. | What we see when we look up or down ! depends much upon the power of the mind. The astronomer gets a glimpse the universe when he looks into the ¢ sky, and the sculptor sees in the rock when he looks down all mind can imagine, or hand work out; but the o s 'look up and see space, and color and forms and beauty, according to their capacity and thought. It is upon the mind we must depend to mui- | iply the joys of life, and just as the ble a lily, 50 may we work out from our ex | periences the lessons which bring forth | delights, Our mind can be neither profitable nor pleasurable to us unless we perfect our skill.in using it, as we | would seck to be skilled in the use of | any fine tool, With trained head and | hand the sculptor brings beauty forth from a rock, and with trained heart {and mind we may add joy to life and | multiply our own pleasures. What do you suppose is the reason | |rows of kernels upon it? This ques | tion has bee by the granges and no sat e conclusion has | been reached. A thing that is mathe- | matically odd cannot be even, you : and nature is very careful about balances. Man has two legs, a dog butterfly six, a spider eight and | centipede too many to count; but ome have been amputated, America’'s great | corn-crop harbors no symbois of su- perstition, It might be well for the | farmers to discuss the question: “What does a cornstalk know?” It is a scien- tific fact that a cornstalk will put out no guy reots when a stake has been put |a | there are no odd ones unles {force of the wind until the stake has| | been removed; and then it will immed- iately send out guy-roots to hold itself | |against the fury of the wind. How does the cornstalk know the stake has been taken away? £ Why decs'the maniwhi loves t hele | his wife do her work in his spare hours | leok like a henpecked hueband to the | man who can see no sengs in doing it even after he has recognized the need | his assist ce? There are many who never come to learn that there is | pleusure in work, or (hat it gives de- | light to lighten another's burden. The { purblind crowd are usually sillied in | the use of misapplled epithets, It takes a little genius, if no scholarship, to malke a slur or a piece of sarcasm | fit n ly. Who ever heard of a hen- | pecked rooster? This is a base sland- {er upon the hens that furnish [ omelet and things for the table. A man nagged to the point of discourage. ment and despair usually deserves to for he lacks the spirit to meet the agger and stem the torrent—he | ated neither for pulling nor ylls?\}}l}',‘i but is an eddyite with no ca- for getting into the swim. More helpful husbands are needed and few- er shiftless wives. | | | Did you ever think of the small boy who cannot get into the fair—it is twin to the misery of the small boy who cannot get into the circus. Of course the miseries of boys | seem trivial to us: but since we have all been boys we know they are real to them. In old times if a boy counldn’t get a jewsharp when he wani- ed one it seemed as if life wasn't hard- worth living; and it is about the me now if he cannot have a bicycle the moment he wakes up to the imag- inary pleasures of it. It is often a mis- ery for a boy to hear parent or gnard- fan say: “No!" when it would be his undoing for them to say: "Yes. In this respect boys are not so unlike men | who want what thoy want when they want it aithough it may be nothing that will benefit them or that they re- ally need, Discontent gets into life eariy and stays long: and if it was de- signed to stir abition it is often aught in (he ac: of spurring some- thing eise, O1d Hemer thought misery was man's twin brother, but we know it is a mental or a physical wasp | that merely needs swatting of the misery | | | i Those who go to Westerly this year find the Hillcrest dahlia gardens are showing the prettiest of flowers and an abundance of them, regardless of the dry weather and _variable tempera- ture. Mrs. Otis ChapmanJr. is main- taining the reputation of hef late hus- band as a dahlfa specialist and flor- al decorator, and Is doing an ever in- creasing business. She not only has | the usual show of the latest and best dahlias in bloom, but also has a fine exhibit of china asters and the popular snapdragons, with fine examples of montbretia, gladiol and salpiglossis on the side, The gardens are the centrs of atiraction in this region of eountry, and all visiters are eourteousiy receiv- ed and shown around the place, With its weedless grounds and broad walks Hilicrest does indeed have the ap- pearance of & beautiful floral park. 1 somstimes think we do not half | appreciate innocence. The little girl | thinks her doting dad cannot teil an untruth, and hence ke alwavs has her | complete confidence regardless of how mother feels when she looks hix way: and the little boy looks upon his indul- gent ma with the feeling that she must be a real salnt, whatever dad's thought may be when he looks at her, 'This is a pbeautiful pleture of trustfulness, the life which as yet knows no guile Litte boys and litte girls appear to be divinely commissioned teo show that perfect love begets perfect peace: but the lesson does not seem to make the fmpression uven the world it ought. Age and experience take usa long way: from this happy condition, and seif- decepilon is so much more common than self-denial that we make an aw- ful mess of what was divinely meaant to become a blessed state. it seems to be true that “every man is his own greatest dupe,” if we look upon life with 2 keen eve. 1 ! wondsr why those who hire help of varions kinda never think it is ne- cessary to apologize to them for any in- solence or abuse they may {n moments of temper heap upon them. Did you hear of a master's apologizing to valet, or a mistress to her mald?

Reading of the plans for the Baby Show at eur County Fair during the past week, carried my mind back te a little Vermont hamlet, where I have spent very many happy summers. A namiet it could hardly be called for it was composed mosily of outlying hill farms, and vet down in the Hollow, as they. called it, there was.a cluster of houses with a church and a school- house for a center, and a post office more or less regularly attended to by the people in whose house it was es- tablished. Rest after a years toll awaited me in this region, and dearly do I prize the memories of experiences Which came to me there. Delightful | pictures they make to hang in mem»: ory’s hall. The old home is now in the | hands of strangers, and sorry am I that it is out of my reach except as a memory. One of my first questions on my an- nual return there was, “What has hap —_— BABIES’ ROLL-CALL mest of the community a aaghe was & great curiosity, and that this family was likely to be a center of attractiow to many of the neighbors, It was no\ long befeve 1 was favered with a gllmpse of the new-comers, for the woman. Mrs. Harris, came to the form for milk, and had her baby with her. They certainly bore out their reputa- tion for cleanliness, and_the little one merited all the praise I had heard be- stowed upon ler. Her plump little biack face was surrounded by the im- maculate ruffles of a fr eshly laundered pink sunbonnet, from which her bright eyes and merry smile appeared in most winsome fashion. She evidently was used to petting, and enjoyed it in true baby fashion, and quite as evi- dently she was the pride and happiness of the young mother. While they rest- ed before their return walk, the fol- lowing conversation took place in my hearing Next Sunday is to be the Infant pened hereabouts during the year? and the winter-roll of death and mar- | riage and birth, of removal and arrival, s run over for my benefit. Strange is it not, that in such a sequestered re- ion all the tragedies and comedies of life should find room for action? In all the region roundabout wa it wi in T x to inquiries concerning ply my the events of the Vear, the first item to | be mentioned was the arrival in their midst of a colored family. “Just think,” I was told, “a colored | ily has come to live in the little | in the woodlot, and they are! real nice people, too.

A ship is a wenderful exampie of symmetry. Her dimensions are in careful proportion. The theught and experience of many generations have gone into her comstruction to fit her for her task. She must be suitably narrew. She must have a sharp prow able to cut through the water. Yet| if built too narrow she would be un- safe and unserviceable, The waves would bowl her over. She must, then, have suitable breadth of beam.. Stability requires it and tim- id passengers de mand it. Yet she can- net be too beamy or her peed suffers. A broad-ended scow pr ts too great resistance to the water and is a poor sallor. She must have suitable depth. No argoes can be carried without spa- cious holds below decks. Yet it would be impracticable to build ships too deep. Their keels could not enter many of the harbors in Burope and in Amer- i The problem of the designer is to pro- vide for length, breadth and depth that | shall mean maximum efliclency, no di- | mension damaging the unity of the whole. About the same purpose should guide us In the shaplng of character, t bufld symmetrically, Like the ship one must have sharpness and definiteness of aim If he is to make progress. This 1is the age of the spe- | “falist. To get on & man must know one thing well. But the narrow men should be on his guard, He is in dan- ger of overriding his hobby, of geiting into a rut and failing to ses over the edges of it. The specialists need above all men to cultivate a wide and gsner- ous outlook. One should then have a rtain breadth of interest and actlvity. The educated mind will seek to touch lifa at many poinis. Yet breadth, likewise. has its dangers. Men do not make rec- ord trips in coal barges, substantial as; they are. A broad-minded man, about equally interested in any ome of a dozen occupations or lines of.study, is not lfkely to attain eminence in any. { The jack-of-all-trades usually masters none. Depth of thought and experience is ! desirable. Shallow people make little impression on their times. But depth is not desirabie at the expense of hu- Profound thinkers often become painfully isolat- ed from their kind. The Mr. Casaubons run aground when they approach the friendly shores where most men live. A noted metaphysician, near his death lamented that only one faverite pupil understood his system—and that he did not really understand it. Early in life Charles Darwin loved muslc and literature with consuming passion, But after years of sclentific ressarch Shakespere hored him and sweet music brought him only pain. The very pro- fundity of his knowledge had become a burden. Of a lad in school the teacher asked: “What is the shape of the world?” With great assurance the boy replied: “Lopsided.” He was right at least as regards a considerable number of the inhabitants of the world, How many of them are lopsided! It is a fate we may well strive to aveld, Harmonious, symmetrical, complete character—how rare it is{ One does not find it in himself nor in most of his fellows, It represents a far-off goal, & great ideal of the time when, as | the Apostle Paul says, “We all come ‘n the unity of faith, and of the knowl- edge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” THHE PARSON, purtuaities, and usually, more an- noyances and trials In life.

Those who walch the Fnglish sparrow koow that it is more useful than its assailants ever admit; and so it proves to be with the starlings which are lambasted as robbers of other birds’ nests. These starlings are kept as cage- birds in Europe, and are popular be- cause of their ability to imitate the notes of other birds; and also because they can be taught to whistle tumes and make remarks like a parrot. It is reiated of Sterne that he had a caged starling he had taught to plainly say: "I can't get out!” = They: have to be kept by themselves when caged because they 'learm the. notes of all birds in hearing, and will warble ! other notes like e mocking bird; .And whether old or young when caught, thay are said to Jearn with equal fa- epie do 1ot show ] sast of ‘of fower op- bad exampl o6 1o porsons eility, Man dees mot half appreciate his ecompanionahle. ~ ‘and = versatll feathered friends, S, t a colored person to be seen, so | s not surprising that one summer, | Rally down te the Hollow,” sald my | hostess, “are you going Mrs. Harris?” “Oh, T don’t know,” laughed that in- dividual in her soft southern tone, "I reckon my little girl will be out of place there amongst so many white kids, though her father tells me to take | there | € 1 would if I were you,” was the re ply, sn't any one asked you came Yes, Dr. Campbell came to see me| | the other day.
