We would only see the victorious end; and, as soon as it comes, we are satiated. “It is the same in play and the same in search of truth. In dis pates we like to see the clash of opinions, but not at all to contem plate truth when .it is found, To observe it with pleasure, we have to see it emerge out of strife. it So in the passions, there is pleas ure in seeing the collision of two contraries; but when one acquires the mastery, it becomes only bru tality. il We never seek things for them selves, but for the search. “Likewise in plays, scenes which do not rouse the emotion of fear are worthless; so are extreme and hope less miserey, brutal lust and extreme cruelty." Pascal observed that we do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the minds of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. tt We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary exist ence, and neglect the real. And if we possess calmness, or generosity, or truthfulness, we are eager to make it known, so as to attach these virtues to that imaginary existence. tt W® would rather separate them from ourselves to join them to it; and we would willingly be cowards in order to acquire the reputation of being brave. a A great proof of the nothingness of our being, not to be satisfied with the one without the other, and to renounce the one for the other! *» THE WORLD DO MOVE Newspaper and magazine pictures of bathing girls and prize beauties in half piece suits are so common that people are beginning to give them the “cold eye. The only thing that momentarily interests Broadway is the nude be hind a gauzy curtain. The change in public sentiment and taste is well illustrated by re calling an incident that occurred at Castle Garden when Adelina Patti made her first appearance. The bal let dancer was from Paris and tights appeared beneath the ballet frill. So the audience went out and stay ed in the lobby, blushing furiously, until someone loaned the tun&te lady a pair of pants. This was followed by Black Crook” with protests from all classes of society. Today, the old Police Gazette, one time barred from the mails, is as a barn yard turkey. Verily, the world do mdve. A LAUGH OR TWO He had been married about a year and had taken to spending his even ings down town with the boys. One night his conscience worried him. So he .called his young wife up. “Hello, kid,” he began, “say, slip on some old clothes and run down to meet me on the quiet, We’ll have a good dinner and then we'll get a ma chine and smear a little red paint around. How about it?” , <* I’ll be delighted to join you, Jack, but why not come on up here and get me ? There's nobody home.”, ' As the husband’s name was Tom, he now spends his evenings at home. Mary Anne gave notice she was going to be married., * Her mistress, slightly perturbed, said: “Of course, I don’t want to put any obstacles in the way of your getting married, but 1 wish it were possible for you to postpone it un til I can get another maid.” “Well, mum,” Mary Anne replied, “I 'ardly think I know 'im well enough to arsk 'im to put it off!

He also charge's that a big Philadelphia syndicate buys up breweries as soon as their licenses are revoked and begin the jnanufacture of beer without per mits.

Preacher-Father Opposes Lawyer-Son In Minnesota Senatorial Campaign Minneapolis, Oct. 3.—The wet and dry issue has arrayed a preacher f at f, er against a lawyer-son in the Minnesota senatorial campaign. Merle Birmingham, republican, is running for the United States sen ate on a beer and wine platform drawn from passages from the Bi ble. His father, the Rev. M. C. Birmingham, Methodist preacher of Melford, Neb., has asked the people of Minnesota to give his son a knockout blow.

We criticise their hair, their skin, their stockings, their shoes, their skirts, their cosmetics and their manners,” he said, speaking of mod ern young people. “I suppose when you middle aged people were young, to hear some of you talk, you would think you were gentle little angels sitting around on sofas with your hands folded on your laps. <« We never had a finer set of young people in the Methodist church than we have today.

He has also put out an open letter, saying: tt I am indebted to my father for a good home, and I am sure he al ways did his duty as he saw it in the training of his children, but I could never follow my father’s church in its attempt to enslave the African, nor can T follow him in his attempt to infringe upon or des troy the inherent constitutional rights of the American citizen. u I believe that my father and I are working to achieve the same end —temperance—but as we are looking through a glass, darkly, our meth ods of achievement differ. My pur pose in making this campaign is to give the voters of this common wealth an opportunity to indicate whether they desire a continuation of the present farce of prohibition enforcement or whether they desire sane and lawful regulation.

As between the old hoop skirt and the present styles, give me the short skirt df today. u I have heard it stated that the song, ^Yes, We Have No Bananas, was a sign of degeneracy of the times.
