A One Sided Arrangement.
"Why is it that Hendrix is able to

whenever they go anywhere together."

If it nappened it is In tne Enterprise.
. REALITY AND COUNTERFEIT. .
Some people object to the word
"goodness" or say they do, but down
in his inmost heart there is no human
being who objects to the reality of
what that word means.
What he does object to perhaps is
the way in which the term Is used
and the character of some who use it
In this he is at least partly-right.
The way to preach goodness is to
live it- That is infinitely better than
all the words about it An ounce of
good works is better than a ton of
good words. The change of one letter
here means all the difference between
promise and performance.
The trouble with many who talk of
goodness is that they do it in a way
that sounds like a reproach. That is
not goodness. It is self righteousness
and condemnation.
Others use the word as a cloak.
They are hypocrites.
Yet let us not make the mistake of
rejecting the right because some hypo
crite loudly professes it. We must
only learn to discriminate between the
genuine and the counterfeit. .
Because some one passes a bad coin
on us is no reason that we should
thereafter refuse good - money. Be
cause one chair breaks under us is no
reason that we should resolve never to
sit again. Because one friend proves
false is no reason that we should con
clude there is no. true friendship. Be
cause there are some hypocrites is no
reason that we should reject truth or
sincere people.
The world is as full of goodness as it
is of sunshine. In his heart of hearts
every one wants to be good.
I want to be good, and I have no
false " shame in saying it before the
world. I fall far short of the mark,
but this is only stumbling in the path.
Despite all the missteps, there ever
sings a little song in my heart, "I
want to be good. I want to be good."
So do you. Now, honor bright, don't
you?
We may not agree in all our stand
ards; but, according to our own lights,
we want to do the right thing.
Of course we do.
Well. then, let's do it. Why not?
But let's don't talk- about it; let's
live it
One being who lives goodness has a
better effect on others than a thousand
sermons. I know this because I have
seen it work, and you know it.
The goodness that is talked about Is
often a counterfeit but the goodness
thiit is lived is the true coin.

NEEDS MONEY
His Gasti Box Almost Empty,

AL NO MATCH FOR" NEGRO.
Palzer Was Recently Given Fine Lac
ing by McCarty French Promoters
Net Wise Signing of Thorpe by New
York Team Not a Bad Move.
By TOMMY CLARK.
Instead of being relegated to the lum
ber room for discarded pugilistic ma
terial. Jack Johnson apparently is still
going to make his presence felt. After
all. the black knight is the champion
heavyweight, and until he loses the
title it will be impossible to keep him
out of the ring, provided he retains his
personal liberty
He seems to be confident that he will
escape from the clutches of the law.
and apparently he really means to fight
again. Xo doubt his funds are running
low after his numerous legal battles,
and he now Buds it expedient to re
plenish the treasury while some rem
nants of form still remain with him. .
Johnson has been matched to meet
AI Palzer in Paris June 25. The nesro
is to receive $30.0(10 for his end of the
battle and Palzer $5,000. It is hard to
see now the French promoters are go
ing to make any money out of the bout.
It is too one sided.
Palzer has no business in the same
ring with Johnson. Having been badly
beaten by McCarty. Palzer is about the
last of the white hopes who should be
pitted against the colored champion.
One wonders that the fight game is not
dead and buried when such matches
are contemplated.. Johnson, of course,
is not to be blamed. He has a perfect
right to pick up all the easy money that
is thrown his way, but it is evident
that the fight followers of -France are
not wise or such a match would not
even be hinted at.
The signing of Jim Thorpe, the Car
lisle Indian, by Manager McGraw of
the Giauts is not a bad business move,
even though the Indian's salary is
around the $4,000 mark. Thorpe
cost nothing to secure, and he has the
advantage over other recruits joining
a major league team In that he will be
an attraction.
There is a variance of opinion as to
Thorpe's ability as a ball player; but.

JIM.TIIOliPE SIGNING HIS CONTRACT.
while it is hardly to be expected that
he will be able to supplant any of the
regulars on the team, for all that he
stands a chance of developing under
the sort of handling he will have, be
ing a wonderful athlete. Thorpe will
have an advantage over many a young
ster who breaks in. What little ex
perience be hiis had In baseball has
been of a rather versatile nature. He
has played nearly every position, so
that he has not been developed for any
special one. So wise a manager as
McGraw will not be long in determin
ing just where Thorpe should be play
ed, and when he is forced to give his
attention to one position he may de
velop rapidly.
Each spring training jaunt is the last

GUARD YOUR TONGUE.
To keep a guard upon one's
tongue at all rimes is a good rule to
follow. ;
Nothing is more foolish and tact
less than the pleasure some people
take in "speaking their minds." A
man of this kind will say a rude
thing for the mere pleasure of say
ing it when different behavior
' might have preserved his friends or

My Strange Vision
A Story For Washington's
Birthday
By F. A. MITCHEL
' I wish it distinctly understood before
telling this story that I make no pre
tense at an explanation."
In New Jersey there are still stand
ing houses in some of which happened
scenes connected with the Revolution
ary war. Most of these are now dilapi
dated. Of some only a part remains,
while a few are well preserved. In
one of these houses I once slept. The
only mark of its past grandeur was the
staircase. The minute workmanship of
that day was apparent in It. though
in its dilapidated condition it looked
tawdry.
I slept in a room on the second flow
near the head of this staircase. The
original room had been divided into
two small ones. I went to sleep very
soon after going to bed and must have
slept till after midnight, when I was
awakened by a hammering at the front
door below. There was a noisy con
fusion of men's voices without, and I
heard above the din, "Long live the
king!" Another cried: "The rebel is
within. Watch every egress!" And
still another shouted: "He's gone, you
traitor Tory. You're too late!" Then
there was a shot, and I heard some
one cry, "My God, I'm done for!"
Immediately after the shot came a
fierce onslaught upon the door below,
and I heard it give way.
Scarcely a minute had elapsed while
this was going oh before I sprang from
my bed, rushed to the door of my room,
opened it and looked out. Lights from
below faintly illuminated the staircase.
Descending it was a woman in her
nightdress, a shawl wrapped about
her shoulders. She was young and
beautiful. When I opened my door she
had turned an angle in the stairs and
faced me. A voice from below cried:
"The captain's shot! Give me that
shawl to stanch the blood!"
The woman's face was lighted with
anger, as if suffering some grievous
wrong. "
"God forbid," she replied, "that I
should give my shawl for any such
purpose."
It was a sickening sight, that which
I saw next I wish I could forget it,
but I can't. It will be with me to my
grave. I saw a soldier in a three cor
nered hat. a red coat and buff knee
breeches run up the stairs and plunge
a bayonet into the woman's breast.
She sank down with a moan. There
were cries of "Shame!" from below,
and I beard shrieks and lamentations
in different parts of the house.

Suddenly I found myself in darkness.
I was lying in bed, my heart beating
like a drum. As I became more con
scious of where I was I saw a streak
of light coming through a shutter from
a street lamp without. All was still.
What a horrid dream nightmare, I
mean. I knew that I had got out of
bed and gone to the door. But
My thoughts went off in all imagi
nable directions.
In an hour I was asleep again. My
vision came back, though this time it
was more like a dream. Yet so real
was it that when I returned to my
ordinary consciousness I wondered if I
had been asleep.
I sat by an open window looking out
on large grounds. Persons were group
ed below me, all subdued, speaking in
low tones. There were soldiers among
them dressed in the Continental uni
form. Before the door was a' gun car
riage. As in a moving picture, at the
gate at the farther end of an avenue of
trees appeared a commanding figure,
also in Continental uniform, mounted
and followed by several officers. They
rode rapidly toward the house, and I
heard a voice below exclaim:
"General Washington has arrived!"
Then I heard singing of hymns be
low, after which I saw a coffin wrap
ped in the stars 'and stripes taken out
and laid on the gun carriage. The cor
tege moved away, the general and the
officers being a part of it.
I awoke in the morning feeling as if
I had suffered a great strain during the
night though it was rather a spiritual
than a physical strain. After breakfast
I called the man of the house aside and
told him of my nocturnal experience.
He said that he was no interpreter of
dreams, and that was all the informal
l non l got out or mm.
Some time after this visit 1 was tell
ing my visions to a librarian. His in
terest in my story grew intense as 1
! proceeded. We were in the library at
the time, and when I had concluded he
went to a shelf, took down a book,
opened it at a certain page and handed
the volume to me. "
I read of a certain house in. New Jer
sey where an officer in the Continental
army was wont to visit his. young wife.
Hwas betrayed by Tories, and British
troops sought to capture him. But,
learning of hLs danger, he escaped be-
I fore they arrived. The scene I had
dreamed or seen. 1 know not which
had been cnai ted during the Involu
tion in the very house la Which I saw
it more than a hundred years InfeT.
My friend the librarian bunted tot
an account of the funeral of the young
wife who was killed by a British sol
dier because she would not give her'
shawl to stanch the blood of his cap
tain, that officer being the one search
ing for her husband. No record was
found of the obsequies, but it seems
probable that a woman who died in the
struggle for independence would be
given a military funeral and that Gen
eral Washington, who was then at
Morristown, would very likely be present

"No," replied the conscientious man,
