‘THE SEATTLE STAR’ vee Matin 9400, * “Care in nowise to make more money, but care to make much of what you have.”—John Ruskin. An unusually good book recently has been published. It the title “A Vagabond’s Journey Around the World,” d covers the daily life of an athletic and brainy chap who d the globe, penniless and on foot. He lived with the pst of the poor, He was hungry often, and night after his bed was the ground and his coverlet the sky One fact stands out in that book as big as life. It is that HRINDNESS abides in every clime. Whether one travels to Jand of the Eskimo or abides for a time in the shadow of pyramids; whether he mixes with the people of yellow or black or white, there is always human affection to be bund, unselfish love of man for his kind. Tt was in a Burma jungle that an Englishman held out a dful of silver to the vagabond and said: “Take it, old chap snow you don’t want charity, but folks were good to me when Was on my uppers.” The native woman in her squalid hut made of leaves set it the hest food she possessed, without hope of, or wish for tward. A stranger was hungry. That was all she wanted to On board a steamer where he lived with coolies he found bunkie the first night, who was ready to share his every sion with the stranger. : On the beach at Suez, among, the riff-raff of nations, the -offs of many ships, he found ‘a sailor—yes, a hobo, who weled half of Europe with him, who endured as he endured, braved burning sun, wild animals, jungles, the perils of ers and trackless wastes, the days without food and the without water. And all because of human affection It is the pivot of Hfe. It is the thing that makes the Big worth while. The more of it you give away the of it you get. On it is builded Appreciation, Brienaship. It was old Seneca who wrote: “Neither can any man live ppily who only respecteth himself, who converteth all things is Own profit. Thou must live unto another if thou wilt unto thyself.” Toleration, Sympathy, EVEN money sometimes cannot buy a man’s way into ess. Theron E.
