That Is not true alms which the hand can hold; he gives nothing
but worthless gold
f Who gives from a sense of duty;
But he who gives a slender mite, and gives to that which Is out of
sight,
That thread of the all-sustaining beauty
Which runs through all and doth all unite,
The heart outstretches its eager palms,
4 For a god goes with it and makes it store to the soul that was
starving in darkness before. Lowell.

HONEST MEN IN DEMAND
The search for honest men is more assiduous than it was in
the life of Diogenes, and one of the things that young men should
keep in mind is that old men who have accumulated money and
have it to invest are scrutinizing them, watching them all the
time and toping to discover those that can be trusted. The
foregoing is the assertion of one of our Oalifornia exchanges,
and every word of it is true. This is not saying that honest men.
are rare, but they are at least not so common that sagacious
men will trust solely to appearances, Many a young fellow
clearly evades paying his railroad or street car fare, thinking it
proper and commendable to get the better of a corporation, to
lose an opportunity that would mean promotion and success.
Even the rich man who is none too scrupulous himself with other
people's money, will not knowingly have a man in his employ
whose notions about property seem in the least bit loose. To in
spire confidence men must have ability and judgment as well as
!honesty, but honesty is the first requirement. Honest men may
ibe numerous, but the supply of them is never so large as the de
.mand. The example given of the young man trying to cheat a rail
way out of a fare is but a sample of many petty thieveries that
are condoned because customary. We expect when we buy to
ihave short weights if it is possible for the seller to use them; to
find the smallest apples at the bottom of the barrel; rocks in a
'bale of "hay; sand in. sugar; chickory in coffee, and a little ot ev
ery kind of poison in a cocktail.
Not one out of ten thinks it any thievery to take pens, pen
fells, inkatands, blotting pads and general stationary from the
vounters of public offices. The fine lady on her bridal tour
steals a'spoon, napkin or towel belonging to the fashionable hotel
where she stops for a souvenir. . .. '. ,
,' It is thought no harm to take a peanut from the street ven
dor's stand, or a fig or an orange from the? grocer's street dis
play. ' ,
So in a hundred petty ways it can be shown that strict hon
resty is not so common as we think. It requires a few homely re
flections, such as we have quoted, to remind us of this fact less
we forget.
get a little bruise on his face without its being telegraphed to
the newspapers, for of such htfhe kingdom of snobbery.,
This S?. Louis minister who is defending patronage of the
beauty specialists and divorce probably finds his encouragement
in the increased attendance and collections.
: There's a lot of sitting up and taking notice among the heav
weights since' che rumor became current that Taft, like the great
Caesar, prefers fat men for his advisers.
Mr. Taft's acts are daily increasing the number of those who
believe he will be his own boss when he assumes the duties of
president.
Castro seems to have known just when it was up to him to
jump the Venezuelan game, and report says he took the "kitty"
with him.

CLEVER SNEAK THIEF
VISITING OREGON TOWNS
A sneak burglar, who worked in
Roseburg the early part of the week
is thought to be operating or to have
operated in Eugene. At Roseburg he
went from house to house and knock
ed at the door. If anyone answered
he asked if a civil engineer by the
name ot Speech lived there or in the
vicinity. When he received the nega
tive answer he would leave. Two
houses were robbed in the same
neighborhood about the same time
that the man made his calls. He
got money and valuables wlrth about
twenty dollars. The police of that
city think that he came north. In
appearance the man is of slight build
with a peculiar dwarfish aspect. His
face is smooth with a sandy complex
ion.

Chung Yu Wang, A. M., in his book on the "Origin and Nature)
of Love," says: "Love is a state of feeling, manifesting itself
invariably under the guise of the higher and lower emotions, But
due to an innate impulse, either primary or secondary, through
instinct, association, or accommodation, of expression by the act
of ejecting one's ideal self or ego for its fulfillment and satisfac
tion in a sentiment or imaginary being having elements that are
'capable of arousing that impulse through qualities absent in the
one in whom such feeling is' generated and in whom the power
of imagination is capable of approaching to emotional hyper
bole." Well, we are glad to know that, though if the matter was
put in language somewhat plainer we are free to confess that we
might be able to understand what the gentleman means by that
long sentence. 1
' In announcing his candidacy for the senate-,, "as a supporter
of the administration of William Howard Taft," former Senator
Call, of Florida, may have only been getting in an advance bid for
''something equally as good." We may be in error, but we are
not looking for a Taft senator from Florida just yet.
America, instead of Sicily, now dominates the sulphur trade
of the world. Wonder if that has any conneetion with the atpar
ent increase of happenings in which his saatnic majesty ap
pears to be deeply interested?
Some men don't know when they are dead. Poultney Bige
low roused up long enough to say that so far as he could see the
Panama canal would never be completed. Even when Poultney
vfas alive he was near-sighted.
