Ke eping va Sweet By the Rev. Thomas B, Gregory , Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World.) ‘ID ‘You ‘ever run-up’ sgainet @ main who had “soured” on the world? ~ If you haye,.you will agree with me-that his lot was not an en viable one, | Tt may be written down among the unquestionable truths that tio person who, for any reason whatever, “goes back” on the world is 81. sooner or later, to cet the worst end of the deal. Ih one way or another the world can manage to get along without me, but I simply cannot get along without the world. To be separated from the humanity to which, by Nature's decree, I be- ig to perish like @ rat in an exhaust receiver, We are made for each other, and isolation means atrophy and death. Nature's eap keeps the bough of long as it remains a part of the tree. the tree green and vigorous only so Cut off from the tree; the limb dies, And #0 the like thing happens to the individual who ceases to participate in the life of the common humanity. But this is not all It 1é not only unprofitable to turn cynic and cut the world, it is downright wrong—even if you were able to make it work. ©, Suppose somebody has done you an evi] turn, been false to you, shocked you.by some monstrous unfaithfulness, are you justified in concluding that there are no true, worthy people in the world? © Tt was “in his haste”—and @ Vary’ foolish’ and wicked haste it was too—theat David sala, “AM men are liare.” he made the charge. Some one has treated you meaniy? But what about the large number | have treated you ‘fairly? Some pereow aas deceived, you? David himself was lying when But what about all those who have been true to you, and that because they just loved @ square deal? It is poor democracy, poor. common sense, poor justice that makes you consent to the rule of the minority, and gn insignificant minority at that. There are just two kinds of people who though they may be sincere fools, sour on the world—fools, even ‘OUtidrets, who judge the rank and Me‘of mankind by the deep-fett ‘eoneciousnessot their own depravity. » Noble was the faith of the.man ,Who, upon applying for his seventh divorce and being askedgather brusquely by the Judge, “What in the name of goodness are you after?” repjied, “I am trying to find @ decent one, Your Honor.” Great was that man's falth in womankind! ‘In spite of his somewhat | depmessing experience he still had faith that somewhere down the line there waited for him the, “decent one.” Like the man after his seventh divorce, look ever on the bright side. Have faith in the world, and never allow yourself to be driven from the creed that there is a whole lot more jot more sincerity than deceit... <) d@tick to the folks. There is good in the world than evil, a whole nothing like It. And as you etick to them Jove them, and believe in them, and you will never be the worse for it. Facts Worth Knowing About Salt ALT ts one of the things which we come. in contact with daily perhaps more than any other. With the exception of water, probably np one:thing 1s used more by. all civil- | ized le than salt. oie, Cease salt is made of two sub- etances that are not at all like salt und are very different from, each other. Qne, sodium, is a soft, bluish metal, and the other is chlorine, a yellowish-green gas, The chemical name for salt is sodium, which is de- yived from the two names sodium and chlorine, Salt is found in large quantities 'n the sea water, in which it is dissolved with some other subatences. It is also ound in salt beds formed by the dry- ng up of old lakes"that have no out- lete;..salt wells that yield strong vrine, and salt mines in which {t is found in hard, solid, transparent Crystals, called rock salt, Rock salt i4 the purest form in which salt’ 1s bund, and to prepare it for market if ie merely necessary to grind it or out tnfo blocks.

Was the moment at hand when he would open the curtains of mystery?

As they began to lére: and say goodnight to the Princess in the garden, Leroy strolled Across, Taking advantage of a moment whon no one was in sight in the hall, went inside, open-eyed at the evi- dences of luxury on every side of him. In the empty drawing room he sat down in the embrasure of a window to wait.
