The chief difference between the wise man and the fool is the matter of looking . ahead. The wise man looks far down the road, shielding his eyes by placing his hand above them, from the illusions and glamors of the present. The fool follows his bent wherever it leads. ' One looks down the long road to its far vanishing point. The other closes his eyes, or seeing, refuses to read the signs on the guide posts. The name of the long road is Con sequences, some cast tneir eyes. with the keen, measuring gaze ot the trained surveyor, down the track, cal culating whither it leads, Others gal lop down the course and cry out when their mount throws them or when they collide with a stone wall. ' Nothing happens without cause and there is no event without its result. Every act, as every person, casts a shadow. We .overdraw our account at the bank and there is a protest. Our credit suffers. We eat too much and our bodies are heavy and inert, pois oned by their own salf-manufactur-ed toxins. We sleep too little and our nerves are traitorous, our tempers uncertain, our judgment faulty. We think too much about ourselves and our lives narrow, and we grow critic al and unproductive of ideas, bitter and discontented. We drink too much and our appetites apply the lash for more and stronger stimulants. We speak, and our words come echoing jack to us in another's good or bad deeds. Every act is a start on the road of Consequences, It behooves us to look long, often and thoughtfully down that road before starting upon it, for along its track no one may re turn. A girl looking out from a car win dow at the crowds pouring; into the Broadway cafes, frowned, sighed and said: "Your eyes have asked me about these black clothes of mine. Iwill tell you about them. I have just come back from the funeral of a relative of mine. She was just past middle age. She was tired of life and glad to go. She had worked hard all her life and had no play. She was alone and her life was growing narrower every day. Those laughing, over-dressed girls going into the cafes are living, if only for a little while. Every girl can choose between these two kinds of life. As for me," she nouaea ner pretty head framed in brown curls, "just now I incline to ward the cafes." I knew the girl's temptations. They were glittering and offered from a high place. I did not say, "Don't." Human nature is such that saying "Don't" is often equivalent in effect to saying "Do." I said: "Have you looked down the long road ?" "The long foad?" she repeated. "The road of Consequences," I answered. "I knew a girl who stood just where you do. She didn't look down the road. They sent for me when she had been run over in the street and was placed in the alcoholic ward at Bellevue. There was a plan to take her to Ward's Island, where the city's insane are kept. Knowledge of this plan and the shame and horror it signified seeped into her burning Drain, one whispered a teiepnone number. 'Ring him up. Tell him I am in great trouble,' she implored. The man, often seen on Broadway, answered, 'I am too. busy to be both ered about her.' Two days later she died on Ward's Island. Are you willing to pay that price?" The girl's eyes "widened as she watched the crowds pouring into the cafes. , "I know another girl who stood where you do. She looked down the long road, far down. She thought of what she saw. She said to the temp ter, 'No.' She has turned 1er back upon the brief, feverish gaiety of such life as this, She chose the deep, tran quil happiness that follows true, con secrated marriage. . She has three children. She has that fathomless content that springs from a life with a calm center, because she looked down the long road." THE BEE: 0!,!AIIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER Indian Summer : Be Broad, Minded By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "Oh, 'come on, be a good sport' What's the harm in a little thing?' says Will to Tom. "Don't, be narrow minded. Come on, have a drink witl the rest of us." ' And Tom, awed at the bugaboo o' being called "narrow-minded," pro ceeds to take the drink of which he disapproves. He sacrifices his own principles of right and wrong for the modern fetich "be broad-minded." "Don't be a narrow-minded little goose, Saide,' says ane. "There's no harm in Will Bruce, even if he is ThefSnsible Way self Copyright. a little bit fresh. Come on down to Coney tomorrow with Will and Jim and me. We'll have good time if only you aren't narrow-minded and spoil the jlay.'v And Sadie listens to Jane. She doesn't want to be called narrow minded. She has a horror of being unpopular and lonely because the rest of the crowd think her ay priggish, goody-goody. Her principles go down before the fetich, "be broad minded." A very brilliant man once said to me, "There's always something sus picious aboiit anything that has to be viewed from a 'broad-minded' stand point.' " Anything that can stand on its own merits doesn't have to be judged broad-mindedly or narrow-mindedly but just fair-mindedly The man who makes investments for a drinker to rid him of the headaches, biliousness, heart flutter and other ills that often come from coffee drink ing is to quit coffee and use the delicious pure food-drink Instant There's a y At' Grocers 19, 1916. llg.

'ie can't afford; the man who gam' bles with money he "borrows" from his firmf the woman who dresses bet ter than her means justify; the girl; who goes with gay companions all of them are likely to fall back on the excuse that you have to be broad minded about things. Between Puritanism of the evil minded, suspicious and condemnatory sort and the modern broad-mindedness which tolerate laxity and weak indulgence in desires of almost any sort, there is a whole world of di vergent viewpoint. It is something like a see-saw with sanity as the bal ance. None of us has the right to sit in judgment on all the rest of us. It is, ourselves we mustudge. ' j Our own principles of right and wrong are our one final guide to right tr wronpr. To sacrifice those princi coffee Postum Reason : Household Topics By Bachelor ples to a desire to be broad-minded or a good fellow is only to be weak and conterr.pti&te. When the urging to be broad-minded about a thing you consider wrong is offered you, have the courage to say, "I'm hot so intolerant as to criti cise you for doing that. Please don't be intolerant enough to criticise me for not doing it. I happen to think it wrong and so it would be wronr for me to yield to yo;ir persuasions and ignore mv own principles." Say it in a. tone ot finality that brooks of no argument. "Be broad-minded I" may mean to the weakling an invitation to ignore principles and follow the line ot least resistance. The end of that line may be utter moral degradation. Before you do a thing that can only be excused from a broad-minded standpoint, look it squarely between he eves?
