To natural ability to observe, there n?ut be added training to truth fully repreni in word what ha bees teen.

The present mode is educating and training liar cf which there is an over ssspp'y all over the country. Mr. Marsh spoke ia All Soul church In prt aa follows: We are sure there Is an order, or law ia obedience to wsich nature and life develop. The root meaning of the word tree or truth implies a con tract, or an argument. A thing is true when It acres With the contract wr-a It rur true to the original ar gument.

The troth sense," says Prof. Drammond. 'like the color sense grows.' The mind is able to see more under larger light and more intent application. Finding truth is a mat ter of perceiving, of observing, not of creating or producing. "We can only see In part our truth sense Is not very accute; at best we see only partial truths. When we come to describe or tell what we do see there is great difficulty in imparting to oth ers a just and clear description. Man is not noly a truth-seeker, but he is a truth-teller. He has the pwoer of tell ing or reporting to others what he himself has seen. He is to 'bear wit ness to the truth.' But truth-telling la perhaps more difficult than truth seeing. To be a good observer, to see accurately and with Judgment requires much training. "It is by no means an easy thing to accurately report what one has seen. Perhaps the caution against 'selling' truth applies here, because it Is so dif ficult to put It on the market without adulterating It with so much of our own production! Certain it Is that it is very dIScult to get the simple truth, clearly, directly told. "In the natural world, there are comparatively few persons whose ob servations and reports have any scien tific value, because, first, they have a dull perception for facts, and, second, they have a dull reporting capatity. "In the mroal and social world of man. this is even more true. Truth is the social and moral reality which holds society together. "The real croe of social welfare, by virtue of which men live and work to gether and progress in attainment, is truth. In proportion as men fulfil this agreement with the reality of things they attain to moral power, or char acter. Every time a man makes this minor reality truly known, he strengthens the bond of society, and increases the power of human wel fare. Every time he covers this real ity or seeks to conceal it from others, be weakens the social welfare and un dermines his own Influence. When one overstates, or understates, the truth, or when he so expresses it as to mis lead the understanding of ethers, he clogs the progress of social welfare and of moral character. Man by his power of thought and speech, his qual ity of imagination, by his ability to form selfish purposes, can misstate or cover up facts, so as to make them entirely misleading and hinder others from seeing the truth. Such state ments, or misstatements are false hoods. They area ot only raistruths, but they are untruths, and they en danger the welfare of society and un dermine individual character. They are not true to the original social con tract. eWlfare and character must be built on truth on reality that is the only foundation that will stand, the only quality which will persist, the only law that Is so self-acting as to compel obedience sooner or later. " 'What a Caw is in steel.' says an other. 'What a foreign substance is in any texture, that a falsehod 13 to char acter, a source of weakness, a point where under strain It may break.' "The fact that society and charac ter holds together and grows strong shows that there is more truth than falsehood In human life. "We hear many complaints about the degeneracy of the times, about the lack of truthfulness and the great amount of hypocrisy, of make-belief, of outride show that is not an expres- ! sion.b ut only a covering of the inner reality. But, notwithstanding all this, truth Is stronger as well as stranger than fiction, and there is more truth than fal&ehood at work In the world drawing men Into closer co-operation. Every year men are learning that truth is substantial, while falsehood is transient; that the abiding strength of success is in the 'real truth' and not In the outward appearance.

Omaha. Neb. J we look over the affairs of the world. The modern newspaper is a fair rep resentative of the character and abil ity of the people; it is an epitome of the world, Its work and methods, its aims and abilities. "An editor and experienced newspa per man made public recently his growing distrust of the modern news paper, and his belief in the moral de generacy of the daily . press, saying that he could receive nothing with confidence and thatv truth was a very minor consideration In the publication of news. We may not look with quite so hopeless a view as this, but we are not blind to the fact that there is too little regard for truth for the real essential facts and laws of life and social welfare in our modern news paper. "The newspapers' motto is, 'Get the news and sell it' which is by no means equivalent to 'but the truth and sell It not:' and here it illustrates the commercial spirit "of the age, In carrying out this purpose to get some thing that will sell, the whole ability of man is exercised. To sell more than somebody else, to put more goods upon the market, to get more papers' into circulation, this is the standard of suc cess; hence news is not only 'reported but 'manufactured.' Men are trained not so much to see and accurately re ports facts, but to develop facts out of their own inner consciousness, and give them such objective setting and expression as will make them attrac tive; to give them the appearance rather than the reality of truth. "Selling news has become so much of an object to newspapers that the matter of service to society Is a very secondary consideration and the veri fication of news is very carelessly at tended to. "To make what will sell, and to write what will favor a 'cause,' to publish what will please, these pur poses over power what is serviceable, what is real, what is true. The fact is, made in accordance with theetaoin newspapers and advertisements are made in accordance with the psychol ogical law of suggestion, that is of suggesting something to the imagina tion and the will, instead of accurate ly reporting something that has been or is. "Not the newspapers only, but ev ery department of work has been be set with an effort to make the outside suggest a reality which is not within. "We have veneered houses and fur niture, make-believe marble, imita tion carving, shoddy cloth, adulterated groceries, leather-bound books cover ing blank pages, and paper-covered books enclosing finely illustrated works; diamonds mad e of paste; countless ways there are of making an appearance that is not true to the reality. (I saw last summer in Cam bridge samples of coffe in various stages of its growth the tree, the bud, the blossom, the berry, the prepared fruit for market and use a very in structive exhibit. As last in order there were samples of coITee made out of wheat flour, a berry so natural in appearance that it would require an expert to distinguish the artificial berry from the natural.) These things may or may not be bad in themselves, but the effort to cover up what they are, to make their appearance mislead as to their nature tends to make a flaw in the moral character of man. There is also a constant danger of workmen doing dishonest work, leav ing work in a way that the outside tells false to the reality. "Often we hear of a building falling because the contractor used cheap ma terial or did his work in such a cheap and make-believe way that the real strength which the outside repre sented and demanded was not there. How many times we have occasion to complain because the appearance is not true to the reality. We have a right to expect that the appearance of the outside manifestation of any work shall be a true expression of the real ity. We have a right to expect that the strawberries that appear on the top of the box shall fairly sample the whole box. We have a right to expect that what a man says, that which he reports of his desires or promises or ability shall be true to the real power and condition within. We depend upon the reports of others to know the truth. "We owe it to each other to make true statements, to state accurately the matter In point. We are expected to be truth-tellers; human welfare is built in accordance with that law. Ow ing to the selfish bent of our own de sires, and also to our wish to please others, and be responsive to the joy and enthusiasm of life, we are apt to make large statements, to use words whose force we do not value, to em phasize a fact by unintentionally en larging It. "It is not as I have said an easy thing to accurately measure a fact by words. ' There are few persons who can accurately measure a room, or a piece of furniture, or any object that required trained judgment as well as manual skill. How much more dif ficult to measure in words a fact or an experience that involves memory, feel ing, judgment, moral purpose, and skilled use of language. "There is much reported by us that falls for short of truth, or that over reaches the truth, because we do not accurately measure facts with 'our words or our comprehension. This is a fault that is naturally common with children and young people, but by no means limited to them. We shou'ld be very cautious about encouraging the extravagant statements that come so naturally and innocently to the mind and the lips. But we should not be too eager to condemn such as inten tional falsehoods. They are not meant to deceive or to cover up the reality, but only to make certain facts mere prominent. The fault often is not in the expression, but in the power of observation, or comprehension. The mind has not grasped the true relation of facts. When the fact is truly seen the expression of it will be much more likely to be true. A clear perception is the first requisite to accurate state ment. We need to bring our words down to a just and adequate meas urement of facts, so that we may be truth-tellers always becoming wit ness to the truth."

The American Chess World for April and Checkmate for May are before me. Both are filled with timely matter. A. C. W. gives all ten of the cable match games, of course, not annotated, and twelve games selected from vari ous sources, all annotated in Napier's well-known thorough manner. Check mate gives "Chess Memories." by J. de Soyres; "Strange Evolutions of a Black Pawn," a study in problem com position, by J. C. J. Wainwright; two games from the cable match, besides the customary problems and games. Both magazines deserve support. We regret that the A. C. W. has not yet been allowed pound rates a3 second class matter, and the publishers pay two cents postage on each copy. Geo. H. Walcott: Didn't I hint something about the shoemaker stick ing to his last? 6 plus 3 minus 11 equals 0! That's a beauty! Fact is a justice of the peace has no business meddling with constitutional ques tions. Glad you didn't stick me for a deficiency judgment. s West, 14; East, 1; that's the HIGH GRADE SPRING WAGON.

It begins to look as though Lutton of Pittsburg might have made as good a record in the cable match as did Howell. Those boys down in Greater New York evidently believe with Geo. B. Spencer that there are no real and truly great chess players outside of St. Paul, Chicago and N. Y. Of course Mizzoury-like, they "wanted to be showed" and Lutton should have gone down and showed 'em. "Though it may be rank heresy to say so," comments Dr. Graham, in Checkmate, "a more uninteresting lot of games than those developed In the cable matches would be difficult to find. The advice, attributed to Stein itz, to go slow and wait for your op ponent to make a mistake,' seems to have been generally adopted. Every player in the contest has at other times in over-the-board play struck out some sparks of brilliancy, but here they seem to be hampered by a sense of responsibility which thjey ; are un able to overcome."

Butter Coloring The Independent has heretofore called attention to the pernicious prac tice of coloring butter which is prac ticed by all the creameries. What tho stuff is like may be gathered from the effect it had on Otto, the three-year-old son of Rev. Carl Goodknecht, pas tor of the Southern church, six mi lea northwest of Wakefield, Neb., who died Wednesday from accidental pois oning. The child drank a quantity of butter coloring from a bottle which had been standing in a pantry. The baby suffered terrible agony for twenty-four hours, and finally succumbed in spite of all that could be done to save its life.
