Do you know that your soul is of my soul, such
part,
That you soom to bo flbro and coro of my heart?
None othor can pain mo as you, dear, can do;
None other can please mo or pain mo.as you.
Remember tho world will bo quick with its blame
If shadow or stain ever darken your name.
Like mother, like son/’ is a saying so truo.
The world will judge largely of "Mother” by you.
Be vours then tho task, if task it shall bo,
To force this proud world to do homago to mo;
Bo sure It will say, when Ita verdict you've won,
’She reaps aa she sowed; lo, this man is her son."

There are timeR, I suppose, when all
of us are filled with envy of Adam, be
fore Eve was created, because he had
the world to himself. There was no
body to interfere with him. No one to
contradict him. No one with whose
ways he had to put up., and life must
have been one glad, sweet song of urn
trammeled freedom, Buch as we may
never know.
Of ,course, this mood doean’t last
We are bound to have companions, if
for nothing else but to have Borne one
to complain to, but there is do denying
that most of the burdens of existence
are laid upon ns unnecessarily, unwill
ingly and unconsciously by the people
with whom we live.
It is true that we get good and even
with them by the discomforts that'we
make them suffer by our peculiarities,
but there are few more pathetic
things in the world than to think that
most of us exist as kind of social
tard plasters, whose chief mission in life
seems to be to irritate and raise a blis
ter on our fellow creatures.
This being the case, it does look as if
we might enter into some sort of mu
tual protective organization in which
we would agree to keep off of other
people’s grass if they would keep off
of ours.
Not many of us are consciously hu
man hogs; we are simply swine without
knowing it, bent on getting the best of
everything for ourselves, and doing as
we please, without reference to anybody
else’s pleasure or comfort.
The man at the theatert for instance,
who makes a whole line of women get up
twice between every act to let him go
out and get a drink, who musses up
their pretty frocks by crowding by them,
and tramples over their feet, doesn’t
consider himself a brute. Neither doeB
the musical gentleman who hums the
score of the opera in your ear so that
you can’t hear the singers on the stage,
No more does the intelligent lady who
opines ■ nobody but herself has sense
enough to understand the plot of the
play and who explains the situation in
a loud, audible voicg to everyone in a ra
dius of six seats, think of herself as an
educated pig. ■ Neither does the woman
who meets a friend in the aisle after
the play is over and the audience rush
ing for cars, and who blocks the pro
cession while she explains why her cook
left, and gives a circumstantial account
of the baby’s teething.
In reality, all of these people are
good, kind, conscientious individuals
who desire to do right by their neighbors,
and they would be shocked, to know
how uncomfortable they make life for
the balance of us, and how gladly we
would poison them like any other pests
of the household, if we only dared.
For my part, a man never climbs over
me at the theater when I have on my
best frock that I don’t hope the bar
tender will put a cute little pinch of
prussic acid in hiB cocktail by mistake.
But, honestly and seriously, do any
of us ever sit down dispassionately and
think how disagreeable we make things
for the people with whom we live, and
who have no way of escaping us?
For example, there is family curiosi
ty. Of course, we excuse this to our
selves by saying that it is because we
love John or Mary that we want to
know everything they do, and we never
take into consideration the suggestion
that John or Mary may take an oppo
site view of the situation.
There are plenty of families in which
one cannot turn around without a per
fect fusillade of questions. Where did
you go? Why did you go? Who did
you see? What did they say? What did
you think? What did you think you
thought? In endless iteration. The third
degree of the police' system isn’t a
marker to the sweating process that the
family inquisitor puts the victim through
—and all, dear soul, without the slight
est thought that most people would just
about as soon have the thumbscrews
applied as the corkscrew.
Then there is the interference. If I
were making the laws I would head
the list of criminal offenses, punishable
with solitary confinement for life, with
interference, and I should make an aw
ful example of the individual who can
never Bee anybody doing anything with
out butting in with a few questions
and a bunch of advice. Not many of
us would escape on this account, but
it would leave things mighty calm and
pleasant for the few survivors.
In all good truth, isn’t it strange that
we don’t realize bow obnoxious we
make ourselves by not letting people
attend to their own business, and raise
their own children, and run their own
houses in the own way?
Occasionally we grant this great and
precious privilege to strangers, but the
people with whom we have to live—our
fathers and mothers and husbands and
sisters and brothers—the people who
can’t escape us, we harry ceaselessly
with our suggestions.
There are households in which it is
impossible for a member to even bo
much as brush her teeth without all the
balance of the family asking why don’t
you do it the other way? Why don’t
you use a hard brush or a soft brush or
a rubber brush or a prophylactic brush
or a paste wash or a powder or a den
tal soap, or whatever it'is you don’t do.
All of us know how irritating it is to
have people stand over us with their
“Why don’t you do it this way?” but
we all do it to others, and the real rea
son that families break up and scatter
from Maine to Mexico is because we all
want to get among people who won’t
know us well enough to interfere in
our affairs.
Aa fpr conversation, would some pow-
pr the gift to give us to hear ourselves
as through a phonograph.
What.a reform there would be, my
countrymen! Surely those nerve-rasp
ers who begin every sentence with ‘‘I
say,” or “You say,” or “SayB I,” and
Says he,” or “You know,” or “Don’t
you know,” would lop off their catch
words if they knew how they made the
listener squirm.
Perhaps, too, If he could only realize
how very, very tired he made us, the
man who reads the funny -papers
wouldn’t feel it necessary to repeat
over all the old jokes that all the bal
ance of the world had read the same
time he did. It might also dawn on the
fathers and mothers of infant prodigies
that nothing on earth but Christian for
titude sustains a person Who has to lis
ten to a batch of sterilized milk baby
stories.
As a matter of fact, we are absolute
ly merciless about boring people, yet
being talked to death is one of the
most exquisite forms of torture in the
world. That doesn't concern us, or
raise one throb of pity in our breast.
If we want to talk about ourselves, we
simply converse about ourselves and it
is up to the other party to defend him
self if he pan.
These are merely elemental sugges
tions <jr easing tho situation for those
with whom we live. Nobody will adopt
them, but the people with whom we
have to live deserve our heartfelt sym
pathy just as we have a right to theirs.
It is hard on us both, and yet, as a
multitude of people may pass freely to
and fro in a narrow street if everyone
would only keep to the right, so might
we live our lives with freedom and

Many people have entered The Herald and Advertiser’s voting contest, and
many more will either enter their own names or those of friends who may
strike them as the sort of persons most likely to prove dangerous to the peace
of mind of those already entered.
Now, there nre several methods of being "in” this contest. One is to
send in your name, and then sit down and expect your friends to do all the
rest for you. Even this method will sometimes win a prize, but it will not
win any very impressive one. It is not going to get you in line for the auto
mobile or the $100 in. gold that have been set aside to ho awarded at the end
of the contest. It might possibly win you one of tho gold wntches, or it might
—remember, we say might—result in your winning one of the $10 caBh prizes.
The last two prizes are very desirable, and no doubt you would be highly
pleased to be declared the Winner of either, but wouldn’t you rather put forth
a little effort and win one of the large prizes?
If you intend to be a candidate be one. Don’t bo a “receptive” candidate.
The way to get a prize worth while is to go after it. You can’t tuck yourself
away in a corner and wait for some one to discover your talents. Active, ag
gressive, concentrated energy is the fabric of which success is woven, no mat
ter what sort of contest you are in, or what prize you may be after. .
