LOVE

; ; ' l. (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury)
. Surishine is the miracle worker of nature. ' This it is that
transforms the unattractive elements into the emerald beau
ty! pf forest and field; that out of the disgusting ooze, and
slime can .create the spotless whiteness and fragrance of the
lily; that paints the rose and fills the violet with its ravish
ing sweetness. This it is that puts the sugar into our fruits
and gives them their, delicious flavors. Without the sunshine

And the sunshine of love is the miracle worker of hu
man life. Out of the repulsive, natural, self-seeking human
life. it 4catt; cause to. spring the .most beautiful blossoms of
huraah character and bring them to rich fruition 'in deed3
and lives that ennoble humanity and make life worth living.
. hfct &K is !that f makes taieAeaseless ministrations of the
mother an unspeakable joy;,and that animates her as she
watches and guides through childhood and youth, stimulating
the good- and repressing the, bad, until heri.boy emerges into
self-reliant, useful, noble manhood. It is love for the saintly
mother that makes her accusmg, loving eyesndheears at
her boy's' shortcomings a greater restraining forciupon him

makes progress and civilization possible. Without it human
life 4s a great disappointment," a pain, a continual tn'1, a
desert waste. - "r ;
: iTroly. flove Is. the fulfilling of the law" for where Jove is
there is justice, jnercy , and service without expectation if re-
ward phere is succor,.heIp.and- cheer . Verily, love needs no
law except Its own unselfish blessed promptings.
But this beautiful love," which is indeed the greatest thing
' m the worldU'Veeketh not her own." It gives, not that it
may receive, greater Abundance in return, but freely, spon
taneoUsly that another may have his life enriched. In thus
blessing others it finds its own unique and precious reward.

t- ' r As it1, enlargesand expands and takes in more and more
vr ofGodsvcreatur;eJthis i loye becomes stronger and truer and
sweeter in? alt of its relations. The truest, wise3t and most
loving wife and mother the writer ever knew was also the
truest, most helpful friend, the genuine lover and' helper of
humanity, and a worshipper and willing servant of her God.
The man who thinks only of himself and values every
thing solely according to its power to minister to his desires
and ambitions has not yet begun to live. Until we feel swell
ing in the heart the pleasure that comes from unselfish, lov
ing service, from the consciousness of bringing joy and help
and growth and opportunity to another, we have missed, the
sweetest, most blessed thing that this life brings. M;
Real love is not a part of the natural, primitive, unde
veloped man. It belongs to the spiritual nature; it is-divine;
it is of God. Jesus is recorded in the Gospels jas de
claring that "God is love," thus singling out and emphasising
this attribute of the great Creator; and His whole life, and
gospel are one great exhortation to humanity to develop this
holy attribute in themselves.
Of thi3 love, which passeth all understanding," the pure
ly natural, physical man has, of course, but a very imperfect
conception- To his mind everything springs from selfish
ness. An mankind generally can only be made to know, of
this love Dy its manifestation in other men, and finally -by
its presence in the individual heart. -Thank God, some of us
have seen and felt enough of it 30 that we begin to under
stand a little of what it is. We ian appreciate something of
the love and thankfulness of the father of the prodigal son
and can enter somewhat into his joy at the return to the path
of righteousness. We can comprehend that when joy breaks
out among tha angels over one sinner that repents, as the
highest authority assures us that it does, even though such
repentance come after a lifetime of sin and dissipation when
the head is white and youth and,-virility have gone, the joy
of one angel will be a little greater, the tears of one saint will
flow a little freer in thanksgiving for his repentance come to
her boy until death overtakes him, we qm easily believe Chat,
if permitted, she will gladly meet him upon the further shore
of the dark river, take him, in her arms and minister to his
needs, lovingly guide his footsteps and strive to mpart to
him the desire, the courage and the strength to tread the up
ward way. - ,
But some who can understand-something of the strength
and. blessedness of human love; balk at the idea that -God's
love for his children is as much greater, more enduring and
tenderer than that of any human parent as His life is more
infinitely rich and tender; that He kve3 us, yearns for.ius
and receives us whenever we tunr taHim, no matter when
and where the repentance come - - : -
Love is indeed the fulfilling' of the jaw. In the heart
wljere it reigns is the kingdqm of heaven. Those who live
under its beautiful, harmonizing, uplifting influence already
walk the golden streets and tread the Elysian fields. If this
real love dominated the world, or even the half-of iVthe
3treaks of the millenial dawn would not only be illuminating
the east, but the full glory of that long promised miUenium
would be upon us.

HOW MUCH TARIFF PER SUIT
Jnat how much will the wool
tariff increase the cost ot dom
ing? Into this! consideration a
Uft member of the animal hus
bandry department of the Mis
rouri College of agriculture in
jects these eniifhtening facts:
To make an ordinary all-wool
suit 3 yards ot woolen, ciotn
are necessary. : .
To make this; amount of "idiot b
!.S pounds of half-blood wool In
its original state is required.
The net price to the-wool grow
er in th actual. sales of the 121
clip was !20 cents a pound.
. On a luit, therefore, which re
tails fori say, $40 the wool grow
er's share is f 1.96.
Even it an ad valorem duty of
50 per cent were applied to this
sum the; increase In the cost of
he woof necessary to make the
cloth required for a suit would
actually be less than one doUar.
Capper's Weekly.
Here is the way United States
Senatar Reed Smoot of Utah puts
it:
"There is no reason whatever
for any honest, sane person to
claim that the prce of wool clplh
ing will be higher because of the
Fordney-McCumber tariff act." .

He was a long," thin, yellow cat

had been the tough young cats of
the alley, an.d. he belonged to a
gang that. had. more than once
run into serious trouble.
One day as -Solomon lay in the
dust he began "to think over his

camet to , think that It ( was tlme
he . was pulling h'imielf out of the
rut into which he had fallen. He
therefore cleaned himself up as
well as he could, waved his tail
in a most, genteel - manner, and
set out in search ot adventure.
He soon left his old alley be
hind him and cany Into a pleas
ant by-street lined with tall trees
and pretty -little houses "KUty.
kitty, pretty' kitty," he, heard
some one calling. His heart al
most stopped.' Tes, some one
was really' calling him, and, more
over, the . some one was a pretty
little girl in a dainty Ldress. She
was sitting on the steps of one
of the neat little .houses. ' ;;. .
-Here was the chance of a life
time. Solomon went up to her
in a somewhat bashful manner.
She gave a little cry of delight.
and stroked him gently. Then
she told him, gravely to wait a
minute, and away she went to
return with a Faucer of milk for
him. Solomon purred ' gratefully.
6he led ", him up to the porch.
and from a little work basket took
a pink ribbon which, she tied in
a big bow around, his. neck. Sol
omon felt rather silly. If "one of
his alley friends shouldsee him
they'd never get,, over !V!dding

stuffed him in her doll' carriage,
and began to wheel him up and
down the walk. Every time he
tried to stick bis head -out, .she
shoved him back. Suddenly she
had an idea. She stopped wheel

announced, and came toward him'
carrying -one of her doll's long

A yellow streak shot through'
the air. Solomon was on his way
