Are You a Good
Neighbor?
If So, You
Never Fawn,
Flatter, Envy
or Are Jeal

Are you a good neighbor?
Whath Is a good neighbor?
Perhaps you are a royal good chum
with the popular people ot your town, niid
show them all
sorts of courtesies,
and you rejoice In
their success, and
you defend .them
against envy and
malice.
That Is a part of
a good neighbor's
duty.
But how do you
conduct yourself If
they get In trouble?.
Are you ready to
stand by them In
poverty and sor
row aa faithfully
as In prosperity
and popularity?
Wilt you be the
last to censure, even If compelled to' be
lieve, when .you hear they have made
grievous mistakes? It Is not a good
neighbor's or a good Christian's place to
deny facts or condone crime.
If yoii know that your neighbor has
outraged the morals and broken tlio
commandments, you arc not to make
yourself ridiculous by saying ho Is an
Innocent or Injured Individual.
But If you are a good neighbor you
will think of his family, and you will
not be' afraid to ahow your friendship;
you (wlll hot be afraid to say to the of
fendeY: "I "a sorry for you',' begin over,
and start life anew.' And you will be
bravo enough to help him to do It.
Again, are you a good neighbor, only
In time of trouble?
There are many such people to be
found In country places. They are filled
with envy of another's success. They
show It by keeping aloof and assuming a
.cold and Indifferent manner.
They try to find some flaw to pick In
the! popular or successful neighbor,
they begrudge him all his pleasures "nd
his triumphs; but let him fall sick or lose
his money and they will fly to his rescue.
. They will show him sympathy in his
misery where they begrudged his con
gratulations In his happiness.
This is admirable In a way. yet not
an altogether commendable quality
If you are this typo of a good neighbor
do not take pride In it.
It Indicates that you are filled with
envy of another's success, and that you
like to bestow favors In a superior posi
tion, rather than from a spirit of pure
brotherly love.
If the latter spirit dominates you, you
would bo the really good neighbor, who
rejoices In his brother's hour of pleasure
and sorrows In his days of adversity.
It is a curious fact that hundreds of
people flock to a man when sickness
and death enter his home, and offer, him
every kind of attention and give the
greatest proofs of unselfish regard for
him, who' have previously, In his times of
prosperity and pleasure, been thorns In
his flesh.
It Is, of course, more admirable to treat
a man kindly who Is down than one who
is up, of you have not nobility enough
In your nature to treat him kindly at all
times; but when you wait to Bhow your
good nclghborllncss until disease or death
knocks at his door, you are In a certain
measure, placing yourself with the birds
of, prgywho follow after death o,od di
sease, and not with the song birds that
sing him awa:;e In the sunlit mornings
of the summer.
A good neighbor Is never Jealous; he
never fawns; he never flatters; he never
envies another's success; he congratulates
him sincerely when happiness and pros
perity come; ho sympathizes sincerely
when trouble and sorrow are at his door,
and he encournges him to live 'down error
and start life anew when ha has made
mistakes.
lie makes his -neighbor realize that he
Is at his command when needed, but
he does not obtrude himself either In his
Joys or sorrows.
Aro you a good neighbor?

This picture Is of a "Lady In Blue." We know It,
because the artist told ub bo. Otherwise wo would
have said the lady was "In Dutch," or was trying to
make a noise like a scrambled egg. This picture is
said to be the first effort of the futurists to launch
on an unsuspecting world a picturo-peep into tho
visions of a hop fiend or the vagaries of a brain
storm. The "Lady In Blue" can therefore be called
tho mother of the cubists. She can also bo called
other things, and probabb will. Tail has undtmvored
to put an appropriate frame around the "lady," In
which Hunk appears to excellent advantage us a
"curvlBt." Tho "Lady In Blue" first ndorned tho
walls at the Salon do Artonnre, In Paris. If you want
to he up-to-date you are supposed to gaze at It with
an enraptured expression on your face and ejacu

In order to bo
accepted as a
"wonder" any work
of man must make
appeal to tho Imagination. That It ex
cites admiration Is not enough! It must
also awaken the feeling that In crentlng
It man has taken u step forward, beyond
tho line of his previous achievements.
Regarded In this way the Panama
ralial Is without rival, as the Intense In
terest shown by the entire world In Us
approaching completion proves.
For the first time In his history man
has directly Joined two oceans, the great

has cut two continents asunder. Thus
ho has made himself, In effect, a geolo

If some new Herodotus were to go wan

search of marvels he would, on arriving
at Panama, find no words strong enough
to express his amazement. Ho would ex
claim that tho Americans had defied
the gods by changing their arrangement
of tho face of the earth!
In ordor to understand what the Panama
canal means as an example of human in
terference with geography we must .look
at what nature had clone on the same

J
While this dastardly deed was being
done, a llttlo band of cx-confederate sol
diers, on their way home from the sur
render at Appomattox, were resting from
their long tramp only a few miles away.
Among tliaip waa John Pryor, son of the
munlmed man.
John, agltuted by some sort of ugly
si.splclon about the "old folks." cut his
rest short and started for home, mul
jpon his arrival Ihere found his father
Idead and his mother distracted with
grief iletweon her sobs his mother re
lated the circumstances of the murder
nid gave him the murderers' names.
The next day grand old Harden Pryor
, was laid to rest. and. kneeling on his
grave. John Pryor, with uplifted faco
and hands, took an oath to himself that
h- would not rest, or engage in any kind
cf business. o long an there was a one
or ins rather s murderers alive,
Reglnnlng the hunt that very day, John
succeeded In killing ono or two of th'-m
tefors the gang became alarmed, and
tho rest ot them, panic-stricken, fled the
country, hiding, no one knew where.
Utit John Pryor, with the eyo of the
lynx and the scent of the foxhound, kept
after them. The days grew Into weeks,
tliu weeks Into months, the months Into

Soven years rolled by, and there was
but one of the gang that John had not
got even with, tlut where was that one?
Humor had It that he was In Texas, but
Trxiis Is a big place bigger than the
whole tiermau Kmplre, and "Never
mind," said John, "I'll find him." And
ha did. "I know what you've come for
John," said the man as Pryor approached
him, "but let me go to the houso and say
good-bye to my wife and children." The
request was grantedand a few minutes
later the ciack of a pistol told that John
Pryor's oath was made good. The last
one of the eight scoundrels who had
rnurdered his dear old father was dead.

Two Boys and a Cigarette.
Ily KM,A WIIKKIjER WILCOX.

Two bright little boys named Harry and
Will
Were just of the same size und the sanie
age, until
One day In their travels It chanced that
they met
A queer little creature, surnamed Cigar
ette. Thlk iiueer little creature made friends
with the boys,
And told them a story of masculine Joys
Ho held for their sharing, "1 tell you,"
quoth he,
"The way to he manly and big la through
me."
Will listened and yielded, but Harry held
out,
"I think your assertions are open to
doubt,"
He said. "And, besides, I'm afraid I'd
be sick."
"Afraid!" echoed Will, "Oh, ypu cow
ardly stick!
"Well, I'm not afraid; look here!" as he
spoke,
He blew out a halo of cigarette smoke
Five years from that meeting 1 saw them
again.
The time had arrived when they both
should be men.
Hut strangely enough, although Harry
boy stood
As tall and as strong, as a tree In the
wood.
Poor Will seemed a dwarf; sunken eye,
hollow cheek,
Htooped shoulders proclaimed him un
manly and weak,
With thumb and forefinger he listlessly
rolled
A cigarette, smoothing each wrinkle and
roia,
I And the smoke that he puffed from his
lips, x uci-mir,
Took the form of a demon and grinned
from the air
And It said, "Sec that wreck of a man
that I made
Of a boastful young fellow that wasn't
afraid."

regular, necks of land probably con-

the Islands to tho mainland, both nbrth
and south. The Clulf of Mexico was onco
nearly Isolated, like a grcnt lake, and
theru were other large lakes where tho
Caribbean sea now rolls Its wntors.
Afterward tliero was a sinking, sepa
rating the Islands from the continental
shore, and leaving only the harrow Isth
mus to connect North and South America,
For ages thin condition hna Demisted.
'and It Is doubtful If the" two continents
have over been' completely cut apart,
at least since the cretaceous age. .More
likely tho rocky spine of tho Isthmus has
itlways connected them, whatever other
changes may have occurred.
If this bo so, It Is evident that', In
making the Panama canal, wc have In
terfered with an original arrangement ol
nature. We have taken two oceans which
alio had separated and united them by a
waterway. That waterway, to bo sur, is
a mcro thread and we havo had to clc
vato much of 11 abovo sea lovel (which
nature could not have done), but It
servos our purpose and does It without
upsetting any of naturo's broader de
signs. If tho wholo IsthmiiH were swept
away the Clulf stream would probably
be diverted and a climatic catastreidio

not upon North America Itself.
