Flinging stars out into space, moving suns and tides; Then this little mortal mind geta the larger view, And the carping self of me runs away and hides. Then I see all shadowed paths leading out'to Light; See the false things fade awny, leaving but the True; See the wrong things slay themselves, leaving only Right; When this little mortal mind gets the larger view. Cavillings at this and that, censure, doubt and fear, Fly as fly before the dawn Inserts of the night; Life and Death are understood; everything seems clear; AH the wrong things slay themselves, leaving only Right. The W orld has walked with fever in its veins For many and many a day. Oh, poor, sick World! Not knowing all its dreams of greed and gain, Of selfish conquest and possession, were Disordered visions of a brain diseased. Now the World's malady Is at its height, And there is foul contagion in its breath. It raves of death and slaughter; and the stars Shake with reverberations of its cries. And the sad seas are troubled and dismayed. So It must rave this sick and suffering World Until the old secretions In its blood Are emptied out and purged away by war; And the decp-seated cankers of the mind Begin the healing process. Then a calm Shall come upon the earth; and that loved word PEACE shall be understood from shore to shore. Shriek on. mad World! The great Physician sits Serenely conscious of the coming change, Nor seeks to check the fever; it must run Until Its course is finished. He can wait. In His vast Solar Systems He has seen So many other worlds delirious, He feels but pity for His ailing charge, Not blame or anger. And He knows the hour Will surely dawn when that sick child shall wake. Free from all frenzied fancies, and shall turn Clear-seeing eyes upon the face of God, Then shall begin the true Millennium. Lord of all the Unlverso, when I think of You, Then this little mortal mind gets the larger view; Then I see all shadowed paths leading into Light, Where the wrong things Blay themselves, leaving only Right.

"Sully l a fine woman, but rh hits a number of little faul'n, ant) you a' ou'l tell her of them," said I bo man's mother In speaking to him if hli young wit "Not on j ur life." responded tr- wise husband, "far be It from me to tell any woman that I have observed certain flaw and weak nesses and blemishes l.

I Jiave 1 obrerved too many ' husbands and wives who thought It was their sacred duty to toll each other of their faults, and the'y either wound up In the divorce court or spent time wlsh'nr they had the courage to hike out to Reno.

"Put let him commence telling her of her little faults and weaknesses, and the jig Is up. She knows the halo of romance has been smashed Into smithereens when he commences to talk about her getting fat and to wonder why she doesn't dress like some other woman. She knows that her pedestal hns been knocked out from under her when he calls her attention to the burnt roast and watery vegetables, and tells her that she Is a bum house keeper, anil stout thee worst financier that ever Mine down the pike, and that To Live is to Fight French Biologist Says Nature is Revealed in Its ' ' Struggle Against the Force of Gravity.

This may not bo agreeable to universal movernPnt 0f the crab, thanks to which dvocatee. but it is the avoJChmem if science. In his new book on "tho Mechanics of Ufa," Felix Do Dan tec, professor in tho Sorbone, with whoso atheHttc view I have no aym rathy, but toward whose s c lentiflc knowledpe a-1 1 the world is respectful, lays down this law: "The essential vital act is an act of defense." I find Mr. Ix- Dan tec's development of this theme as interesting as a good story and a great deal more important. He takes a walk on the seashore when tho tide Is out and, digging up a crab I from the wet sand with his cane, , lie throws himself into a fencing attltudo and begins to make passes at the as tonished and Irritated animal. The crab faces tho music and, with his pinceni erect, Is ready for his aggressor at every turn. Mr. Le .Dantec s .scientific soul a'. though, In strictness, he would deny that he has any soul) Is delighted. , ' "One would say." he exclaims, "that I i , si? ) St ' 1 fib i I to bo Experienced Women Advise Mother's Frien: the deffiise la always directed exactly toward the enemy." Now this conduct of tho poor crab badgered by an Inquisitive and Imperti nent savnnt Is, Mr. I.e Dantec finda, "perfectly anthropomorphic." this Is to say, in plain words, Just what a man would do in similar circumstances, and he likens It In particular to the sparring of a pair of bruisers In the boxing ring. Those who have followed Mr. Le Dan tec thus far may not sfe that they are inu7h advanced toward a comprehension of;the statement that all life Is a fight. Or an act of defense. But follow his next step and you may at least find new food for thought. The examples of the Irritated crab and the wafchful boxer are, he admit, open i to the object'on that in them Intelligence i enters Into play, and what la wanted is proof that life exhibits the same defen sive acts and attitude' when Intelligence is not tn question. The proof he offers will surprise you. Here it Is: How does it happen that a man, a young lamb or chicken, stands erect? This phenomenon is the result of a prodigious assemblage of factors. One mr.y say that all parts of the Individual collaborate to produce the vertical at titude, and If this co-ordination of parte Is destroyed, as by a sudden congestion, or a pistol shot, the animal falls. The cause of the erect attitude la the attrac tion of gravitation. That attraction acts as an aggressive 1 1 ; ; n U X,"7 I Thesmall LfO L & J ) PX black velvet -S si V . If lL - j X. .

Of course, we know that, being, human, we must have little blemishes, but we live In the fond belief that we keep them covered up so that the general public Isn't even aware that they exist, and It's always a shock when we find out that some eagle eye haa ferreted out the little rotten spot In us. "Think, then, what a blow It Is when we find out that we haven't fooled even our nearest and dearest, and the one whose affection we had supposed made him or her blind to our faults. "I tell you many a time It gives love a death wound from which It never recov ers. "There's a perfectly good reason why husbands and wives should never tell each other of their faults. It Is this: It Is absolutely necessary for a husband to bellevo that he Is a paragon In his wife's eyes. It is absolutely necessary for a force which is resisted by the living body.

This un happlness is due to my brother's bad reputation. 11 le considered to be very Imd. My parents, the rest of the family and myself are refined and well-behaved. Whenever I go out in eompany the peo plo usually bring up tho subject of my brothers actions, which makes me feel that If I were dead I would be much hap pier than listening to the remarks that people make In reference to him. I can't talk to anybody about this, for I feel very much ashamed. I ran t hurt my parent by asking them what to do. MOST UNFORTUNATE QIRU The people who criticise your brother and ao aahame you are neither loyal frtenda nor well-bred. Don't permit such Individuals to grieve you. Tou must be strong enough to make your own position in the world, so that people will judge you apart from your brother' demerit and entirely on your own merit. It was one time r'M mtm . when the horseshoe TH wasn't lucky to the , . ; ', O j red man although It J-jVaVI was a red letter -Jvi lli day for "Old Hick ory," a by no means unworthy prelude to the glorloua 8th of January, 1R15, at New Orleans. Of the varlou In dian tribes that were to be found in the North American continent when the white man nrst touched Its shores, the Creeks were, with the single exception of the famous "Six Nations" of New York state, by far the moat formidable. In fact, they might well have been called the Iroquola of the south. Intelligent, resolute, strong In numbers, courageous and resourceful, and alwaya led by men of superior sagacity and will power, the Creeks offered a real problem to the palefaces who would conquer them. Time and again It waa demonstrated that the Creeks could fight, and long wn the list of whit men who bit the dust before the copper-colored brave along the big aouthern stream finally bowed their head to the Inevitable. In ISIS the country waa startled by tha hocking massacre at Fort MImma, in which tha entire garrison, Including tha defenceless woman and children, were ruthlessly put to death. That atrocious piece of work thoroughly aroused tha people, and In looking around for aoma one who would put a quietus upon tha red men, they were fortunate enough to pitch upon Jackson. Undertaking the task with the vigor that always characterised htm, Jackaon drove the Indians from place to place, and finally cornered them at a point in Alabama known a the "Horaeshoe bend." With consummate skill Jackson so placed his force as to cut the Indian off from every mean of eecape, and then, falling upon them with hi fron tiersmen, literally annihilated them. It waa a horrible affair.' Over WO of tha red men were killed on the spot. Tha wounded were few In number. Jackaon. told hi backwoodsmen to aim true and I they obeyed him. Almost before tha emoke of tha an- Kuinarx wiiim v niui smiiea. ine lew wno were left were glad enough to make peace, and the "Creek question" waa et tled for all time aa the Mexican question would be settled if "Old Hickory"' w In authority. Every reader of American history re member with mingled sorrow and pride the story of the old' Chief Weatheraford, the greatest of the Creek leader. Ap pearlngly suddenly before General Jack son a h sat In hi tent surrounded by his officers, Weatheraford, erect a a Norwegian pine, folded hi arm and said: "I am In your power; do with me as you please. I have done the white people all the harm I could. I have fought them, and fought them with all my power. My warrior are all gone now, and I can fight no more. When there was a chanc for victory I never asked for peace. There I none now, and I ask It for the remnant of my people." The battle-aearred old chief stalked sadly out of the tent and disappeared In tha forest, and along with him vanished forever the power of the Creek nation. Advice to Lovelorn rn lIoyrlrM.
