Great idea, splendid plan—no
more criminals, no more “weak
lings." no more degenerates, no
more drunkards, no more fools, no
more villains. everybody good,
everybody clevei everybody sensi
ble, cvmybody prosperous, every
body happy, everybody sane, every
body "normal."
"Be good," says Dr. Andrews and
her followers. "Not because it is
right to be good, but because you
had the right kind of a grand
father. Be kind, not because you
are happier when ydu are kind, not
because you wish to make others
happier, too, but because you had a
kindly grandmother, and th it’s why
your grandfather married her, not
for her sake, and his own, but for
yours. Wasn't It nice of him"
What you are is nothing, but
what your grandfather was is the
main thing. Look up his record
and see what you've got to be willy
nilly.
What! The son of the village
drunkard in your town is the presi
dent of the temperance society
says his father’s example started
him on the right path. Tut, tut,
that’s just an accident- don’t oven
remember it. it isn’t scientific to do
that.
What kind of a woman was your
grandmother? A giddy thing with
an eye for tine feathers and not an
idea of economy In the world?
Take off that sober frock, throw
away your daily account book—
you’ve got to be what your grand
mother was, it’s scientific.
Courage, will, principle, the right
kind of home training are nothing,
not a thing In the world to do with
you: it's grandma and grandpa
that do it ail. That Is the rule
with horses and dogs, so, of course,
It must be the rule with human be
ings. too. There Is no difference
between the capacity of a man to
rise above his natural inclinations
and a monkey's, any authority on
heredity will tell you that or imply
it anyhow.
Where do all our great geniuses
come from? That’s a little confus
ing. I’ll admit.
Caesar, Confucius; Galileo. Na
poleon. Mahomet. St. Paul, not one
of them “normal,” not one of them
in good health, not one of them
the right kind of folks, and their
parentage—oh. that won’t bear In
vestigating at all. This new rule
wop't work backward a bit.

roll’of honor through the centuries.
Pick them out at random, from

Thomas Carlyle, Daniel Webster,
Richard Wagner, Joan of Arc, Rob
ert Louis Stevenson, Edwin Booth,
Bret Harte, Richard Mansfield,
Sarah Bernhardt, Robert Burns,
Lord Byron, but what’s the use,
not one of them would pass muster
at a "scientific examination" for
a right to live. Something wrong

Oh, yes; 1 suppose some littie cut
and dried professor in some little
cut and dried school is worth more
to the world than Napoleon with
his record of bloodshed, and vet
Leonardo DaVinci, Michael An
gelo, Raphael, Abraham Lincoln,
Oliver Cromwell- who were the fa
thers of this brood of giants?
"Selected" parents, scientifically
chosen husbands, altruistically
mated women of perfect physique
and wondrous moral fiber?
Be careful, Professor, you are go
ing to step off into deep water be
fore you get much farther from
the safe and sane shore with the
books and the theories and the
teachings.
"Sentiment has no place in mar
riage," says Dr. Andrews. "Not the
selfish sentiment we call love these
days, a higher, holier ideal will
take its place, and when it does we
shall have the foundations of a
perfect race."
How encouraging, how uplifting,
how spiritual! Wouldn't you love
the kind of woman who would pick
out a man to marry, not because
she loved him and couldn’t help it
and would rather die than live
without him, but because she con
sidered the future of the race?
Fine race any future would have
that sprang from such a heart and
such a soul and such a body as
that!
And once again, dear Dr, An- .
draws, tell us prithee, why do you
consider your grandson so much
worthier of consideration than
yourself, or your own son? Why
Is it nobler to be good tomorrw
than It is to be good today?
Who are posterity that I should
love them so much better than I
love the present generation? Why
should 1 go without eating to save
something for a possible grandson
who may be too "scientific" to
have any sort of appetite at all?
And wouldn’t it be a Joke, Dr.
Andrews, If we should find out
some day that there really Is a
good deal of common sense about
the old law of selection after all?
On a Secure Basis
"Dad, lend me two hundred dollars!"
cried the financier's son, rushing into
ills father’s office.
"What for, my boy?**
"Oh, a lovely little deal—a sure
thing!”
“How mm'li shall we make out of it?"
Disked Hie old man cautiously.
"Fifty,” replied the son eagerly.
I “Twenty-five each.”
The old man went to his safe, with
drew a roll of notes and solemnly
counted Init twenty-live dollars.
"Here Is your money.” he said. "Let
us consider we have made this deal,
and it has succeeded. You make twen
ty-five and I save one hundred and
seventy-five.”
A Horrible Blow
Two old friends met in a smoker on
the way to business one morning,
“What’s the matter with your wife,
old man?" asked No. 1.
"Oh, she had a terrible shock yester
day!” came the reply.
No. 1 looked sympathetic.
"Well, what happened?" he asked.
"Why, she was taking part in a rum
mage sale at the local Institute. It
was a very warm day, and she look off
her best new hut, and laid it down on a
table."
“Yes?" queried No. 2,
"Well, some noodle of a woman sold

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I
PV ALL MEANS MAKE UP.
Hear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young’ man, but
; we had a quarrel at a. dance to whirl:
j ho took me. and he did not take me
i home. I have been told by many that
1 was in the wrong, and I am begin
ning to believe it. 1 heard that In
would be glad to hear from me.
A. B.
Love is too precious a possession to
be treated as you have treated yours.
If you were in the w roirg, apologize,
and when yon have made up, see to it
that you do not quarrel again. But
don't bo too contrite in your apology.
He may get the idea that you w<the
only one to blame.
DON'T WRITE AGAIN.
Deal Miss Fairfax
1 have been going with a young man
tor Hearts a year, and about a month
ago he stopped calling, for w hat reason
I do not know. 1 sent a letter asking
him why he stopped calling, but I re
ceived no answer. ANXIOUS.
The man's love has evidently giown
cold, and you were foolish to wiite to
him. Don't write again, and in no wav
let him see you are at all interested in
I him. Girls can not be warned too se
| rfously against this over-anxiety.
YOU HAVE RIGHT OF AVOWAL.
' Dear Mis- Fairfax:
I am 27 and In love with a girl ten

M.
She is not engaged to the other man
and you wdl not b a traitor to your

By all means confess your love before

ARE YOU NOT EXACTING?
Dear Miss Fairs tx:
For the last six months I have been

loves me. We go to night school and
he calls for me ami takes me home.
The last two nights he has called for
me and while hulking to school has not
Spoken to me except to say good-night.
1 asked him if I offended him. and he
said no. Don’t you think he ought to
apologize? K F.
The test of true friendship is silence,
my dear girl. If he is quiet, it may in
dicate that he is thoroughly satisfied to
be with you, and sees no reason for try
ing to entertain you. That is an effort
he must make w hen with girls he likes
less. Don’t iind fault with him about it.
If there is an explanation, it will be
forthcoming Ip. the meantime be grate
ful that he doesn't talk all the time.
YOU WERE IN THE WRONG.

A Spelling Mistake
A school concert, of all things' Four
little girls were dressed to represent the
word "star." and ealeh had one letter of
that word pinned on to her snowy w hite
dress. Jdaeh letter began the verse of
a to-skiing little song.
"Now. my dears." -aid the mistress,
"form yourselves in position, and wait
until the curtain goes up."
The little girls did as they were told,
and while the piano played the a< ioni
paniment the curtain went up.
Instead of applause to greet the little
girls, howls from the audience met
them.
"Bats’" was the word they spelt, not
"star.”

The law of the land had spoken, and
i the verdict was SI,OOO damages.

You were a little tyrannical. I think
when he asked you for permission to
miss a Sunday evening with you. he
showed you a consideration all men
do not show, and which you failed to
appreciate. Ask him to call again, and
the next time he makes such a request,
grant it gladly. I am sure more indif
ference on your part will do more to
ward keeping him than your present
attitude.

LYSANDER JOHN" APPLETON'S
reflection concerning the Joy of
Being Adam have convinced him
that a great injustice has been done
that well known man.
With a desire to put him right be
fore posterity, and to make all the
amends that can be made at this late
day. he has revised a certain little in
cident in the Bible.
"It is time,” he said, "that some one
came to the defense of Adam. And by
‘Adam’ I mean all of my poor down
trodden and mis-epresented sex.”
With this noble ambition in mind,
he has rewritten the third chapter of
Genesis thusly:
And Eve, being tempted, did eat of
the apple. And, having eaten, she knew
that she had sinned.
“I will not be the only sinner," she
said. "1 Will Get Adam Into It. Too."
"Take a bite,” she said. "It is good."
“No, Eve," he replied with Dignity
and Firmness. "It would be Wrong,
and I Can’t Do Wrong."
“But You Must Eat With Me,” she
insisted.
With a Look of Rebuke he Would
Have Turned Away, but she (’aught
him Around the Neck, and cajoled him
witli Loving Kisses.
o?<3 A Fickle Man c&
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
* W. D. writes:
AA "Some time ago two sisters,
whom I will call A and B. be
came acquainted with a very nice
young man. He takes both of them
out. individually and together, ufid as
A ami B have confided in each other,
they have found that when he is with
A he will tell her how much more
beautiful she is than B, and make oth
er flattering remarks, and when he is
with B lie tells her how much more
beautiful she is than A. and uses the
exact phrases of flattery.
"What would you do, as he i- con
sidered a very dear friend of the fam
ily?"
I would remember that there are
otiier letters in the alphabet, and that
they spell F-i-c-k-l-e, and these are
also more letters, and they spell
T-r-o-u-b-l-e.
Then I would refuse to let a com*
pliment the young man pays sink in
I would regard his compliments as 1
would the word of a man of whom if
is said: "And the truth is not it:
him."
I would pay no more heed to his
praise than to the wind that blew yes
terday. And it i found that I could
not avoid remembering what he says,
and retaining it. for flattery has the
clinging qualities of a Canadian this
tle, I would give him no more of my
company than I could possibly heir.
He is an idler; he is foolish, he is
silly, and if he persists in his methods
of deception, he will in time be classed
among the unscrupulous, if nut there
now.

But Adam was Firm, and Resisted
her Blandishments, and Would Not Eat
of the Apple.
For he Was a Law-abidding man,
and Loved the Right more than he
Loved Her who was his Wife.
Then her Sweet Coaxings turned, to
Angry Threats, and still, Firm as a
Rock, he refused.
Then Eve, being Stronger than Adam,
and made Still Stronger by her anger
at his resistance, Threw Him to the
Ground.
Holding him Prostrate with ONE
hand, she forced his jaws apart with
the other, and Pounded a piece of the
Forbidden Fruit into ins Throat.
But Adam was still True and Firm.
Fainting with Exhaustion and horror at
the Sin his Wife would have him Com
mit, lie Refused to Swallow it.
Whereupon Eve Held his Nose and
Made it Go Down.
"And ever since that day, up to the
present moment," said Lysander John,
"women have been cramming things
down the throats of the men that they
don't want.
"They may bo Firm and Noble, like
Adam, but no Adam is a match for Eve.
"And this is true, whether she be a
slinging vino or militant.”
tile true and the false within one’s
consciousness, amt listen to flattery- at
the same time.
If he simply told A she is a beautiful
girl, and told B she Is a beautiful girl,
It would be had enough, for if A and B
are beautiful girls, there are many
things of greater importance tor them
to know.
Such compliments on his part might
have a motive, but they- would be based
on truth. To tell A she is more beau
tiful than B and to tell B she is more
beautiful than A stamps this "friend of
the family" as anything but what such
a friend should be.
A and B, because of a sisterly confi
dence. know where HE is. Let them
show him by a disregard of his flatter
ing untruth what THEY are.
And they, I hope, are too sensible, too
level-headed and too wise to care for
the association of any man who has
such a degraded opinion of a woman's
intelligence that lie hopes to win her
by flattery, based on truth, or other
wise.
In thi- connection, let me express my
pleasure that A and B give each other
sisterly- confidence.
It has perhaps saved them from dan
ger here, it will always safeguard
them.
It is the best potection a girl can
have -to give her sister ail her confi
dence. I have known it to prove of
greater protection than a confidence
placed in a mother, for the reason that
mothers sometimes let the burden of
their experiences and years blind them
to the need of the young for a confi
dante.
Tliey have learned restraint, and the
lesson makes them impatient yyith one
who bubbles over.
A and B, and all other girls who have
j sisters whom they love, and whose in
fluence is for good, are to be congratu
lated.
