SMITH. HORRORS OF PEACE AND WAR Horn rone remarked that the secre tary of stale proceeded under tltoi tnotto; ."In lima of war prepare for peace.” The North American Review, In like spirit, points to "The Horrors Of Peace" at this time when the peo ple of the United Stste* are shud dering at the spectacle of war The i article seeks to ahow that the fatali ties of great tut it lea are far outdone by the aggregated miseries Involved In accidents and social Ilia in time of jpeace. The "horrors of ratlroadtng," the “horrors of aquatic pleasures," the ••horrors of picnic and church struc turn disasters,” the “horrors of flood diaastera," the "horrors of white sla very.” and the "horrors of the divorce courts” make up a striking catalogue of the biota on civilisation at Ita best This ts all trtie enough and well worth aarnest attention at this time, while our hearts are burdened with the realisation of war's cruelty and brutality. Perhaps the chief differ ence between the horrors of peace and those of war Has In the fact that not one human creature can be uncon scious or tgnornnt of the deliberate intention of war. The horrors of peace are almost all of them Incidental to the ruthless pursuit of advantage tn commercial and industrial lines Al most Invariably they arc the result of that selfish unconcern for human Ilf" Hnd human happiness, which man practlaea Against man and nation against nation. The beat excuse w e can offer for these social outrages, these "blots upon our civilisation," Is that they coma from a blindness that Is pot so delib erately sought for and de\ eloped as that of warfare. Patriotism. when it take* the form which selfishness In commercial and : Industrial life takea. create* the Mmr hideous wrong* snd oppressions, but renters' end magnifies them. mo that they come with en overwhelming ■book to human heart* end humm intelligence, yet. the horror* of war at» mingled with the glories of wllllmt racrlfice end the wonderful beauty of heroic obedience to the call of one** country.

Once upon « time a cat was walking through a forest when she met a fox. “My good friend." said the fox, you have a very handsome coat, but your tall Is not anywhere near as handsome as mine Conte with me and 1 will show you how to make It grow.” So the cat went along with the fox to his den for he very much admired the tall of the fox and thought It would make all the cats Jealous when they saw his bushy tall. "The first thing you must do." said the lox when they arrived at his home 1 I , you CO AHtAO "Is to build the fire and cook the sup | per. Exercise Is the best thing to | make your tall grow bushy.” So thk iat cooked tha supper and when it was ready he sat down at the table to eat with the fox. “And another very necessary thing to lie done." said the fox, ”t» to diet | You should eat very little and nothing ! hut green stuff. You better go out 1 and eat some grass and then some water You will find a creek back of ■ the rock by the door." The cat did not like this part of the | bargain very well, but he did want | the hush (ail. so he went, hut he was so hungry the next morning that he could hardly wait for breakfast time. "You can cook thoae chickens for ! breakfast." said the fox. "and then |>ou can go but and catch a bird or two. but you must lie hack In time for dinner, ns you must not lose an op- I portunlty to exercise.” The cst did not need to tie told a second time that he could eat, and off Holding The Market Steady Advertised goods have won everlasting fame for themselves during the present crisis. They have held out firmly against advances in price even in the face of higher cost of materials. In most instances manufacturers have been content to see their profits cut, sooner than see their reputations impaired. Men who advertise are believers in the square deal. They win public confidence because they are deserving of it. They do not take advantage of the public when a pinch comes. INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad he ran. After a. few (lays of cooking for the fox and waiting on him the cat began to ask about his tall. "When will It begin to grow?" he asked. "<>h. you will have to he patient." said the fox "You cannot expect to have a tall like mine grow in such a short time Tonight you better come with me and help bring home a fat goose and a hen: that will give you a little more exercise.” So that night the cat went along with the fox. and when they came to the barnyard the fox said, "You go ahead; the hens will not notice you: then I can come In and pull them off their roost without any trouble." The car did as he was told, hut just as he stepped in front of the hen house, click went something, and the cat found himself a prisoner in the trap that had been set for the fox. ‘‘lla, ha! I thought so," said the fox, trotting off as fast as he could. "Gome back and help me out of this trap you got ine Into," called the cat. “I guess not." called back the fox. “That was Just the reason I sent you ahead. 1 was auspicious of that farmer. He had been watching for me. but now he will not he on the lookout for me. Good day, Mr. Gat. I hope your tall w ill grow ." And off he ram ovsr the hill, leaving the cat faat in the trap. “You see now what you get for helng In had company." said the old hen "Let this he a lesson and do not aasoclute with those who are looked upon with suspicion, for you will tie Judged by the company you keep" Gopyrlght 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.
