from "The Fowrr of Truth." I'tLllshtil by Drcnt&no'a
8N(iltATiri'l"i:. tlie most ixipular
sill of liuiniinity, is luineliulness
of the heart. It Is the revelation
of the emptiness of preleiuled loy
alty. The Individual w ho possess

other vices.
limnililiide Is u crime more despica
ble than revenue, w hich Is only refiirn

turns evil for IMod. l'eople who are

l.earts resent the humiliation of

this rankliiiK feeling l.itcriujj through
Ih-lr " tty natures often ends in linte
and tri a-lu ry.

(iratitude never eoiuils Its payments,
ll realizes that no debt of kimlness can
ever be outlawed, cm r be canceled,
ever paid In full. Cratitmle evi r feels
the liisiLiiilleanee of its installments;
Im,T.it;itide the mil liinuncss of the

tr-'a. !,cry i.i hard indeed. Hut no mat
ter iiwr the Ingratitude stints ns we
should Just swallow the sob, stille the
tear, smile smvnely and bravely seek
to force!.
In Justice to ourselves we should not
penult tlie Ingratitude of a few to
make us condemn the whole world. We
pay too much tribute to a few human
Insects when we let their wron-plnlng
paralyze our faith In humanity. It Is
a lie of the cynics that says "nil men
are uiiL'r.iicfnl," i. companion lie to "all
men have th-ir price." We must trust
humaclty if wo would P't piod from
huui'inity.
If a man receives it counterfeit dollar,
hi? does not strai-htway lose his faith
In all money; at least there are no such
Instances on record In this country. If
he has a run of three or four days of
dull weather, he does not say: "The
sun ceases to exist. There are surely
no briuht days to come In the whole
calendar of time."
If a man's breakfast is rendered tin
unpleasant memory of some item of
food that has outlived Its usefulness,
he doeR not forsw ear eatlnp If a man
llnds under a tree nn apple with a sus
picious looking hole on one side, ho
docs not condemn the whole orchard;
lie simply confines his criticism to that
apple. lint he who has bellied some
erne w ho later did not pass a Rood ex
amination ou gratitude says in a voice
plaintive with the consciousness of In
jury and with a nisi of Ills head that
implies the wisdom of Solomon; "I
have had my experience; I have learn
ed my lesson. This Is the last lime I
will hnvc faith In any man. I did this
for hlin and that for hlin, and now
look at the result!"
Then he unrolls n long schedule of
favors, carefully itemized and added
up, till It seems the pay roll of n great
city. lie complains of the Injustice of
one man, yet he Is wlllinit to be unjust
to the whole world, making it bear the
punishment of the wrong of an Indi
vidual. There Is too much vicarious
Buffering already In tbli earth of oars
without this lllllputlnn attempt to ex
tend it by syndicating one man's In
gratitude. If one uiau drinks to ex
cess. It Is not absolute justice to send
the w hole world to Jail.
The farmer docs not expect every
seed that he sows in hope and faith to
fall on fcood ground and bring forth
Its harvest; he la perfectly certain that
this will not be so, cannot be. He la
counting on the final outcome of many
seeds, on the harvest of all, rather
than on the harvest of one.
The- more unselfish, ennri table and
exalted tlie life and mission of the to
dividual, the larger wljl be the number
of Instances of Ingratitude that must
be met and vanquished. The thirty
years of Christ' life was tragedy of
ingratitudes. Ingratitude to manifest
In thrna degrees of Intensity la the
world fie knew them all In number
less bitter Instance.
The first phase, the etwpleet and
moat common, la that of thonghtlea
th.T.kl'-wnrsa, as waa shewn In the
ttm id t'39 ten Jopera healed Jn one
fcce Ingratitude
Gratitude as
Virtt-e
day. Mao t-cparted wltnout a wor2:
only one gave thank.
The second phase of ''tgntrltude Is
denial, a ixjslti sin, not the more ne
' gation of thnnklexsness. This was ex
! emplltled In l'eter, who, In Ids soltish
desire to stand well with two maids
and some bystanders la the hour when
i he had the opportunity to lie loyal to
j Christ, forgot his friendship, lost all
I thought of his Indebtedness to his
t Master and denied him, not once or
twice, but three times.
The third phase of Ingratitude Is
treachery, where selfishness grows vin
dictive, as shown by Judas, the hon
ored treasurer of the little band of
thirteen, whose Jealousy, Ingratitude
mid thirty pieces of silver made possi
ble the tragedy of ('alvarj'-
These throe thanklessness, denial
and treachery run the gamut of In
gratitude, and the first lends to the
second, and the second prepares the
way for tho third.
We must ever tower high above de
pendence on htimnn gratitude, or we
can do nothing really great, nothing
truly noble. The expectation of grat
itude Is the alloy of nn otherwise vir
tuous net. It ever dulls tho edge of
even our best actions. Most persons
look ut gratitude as n protective tariff
on virtues. Tho man who Is weakened
in well doing by the Ingratitude of oth
ers Is serving iud on a salary basis.
He Is a hired soldier, not a volunteer.
He should be honest enough to see that
he is working for a reward. I.Ike n
child, he Is being good for n bonus. He
Is really regarding his klndnetw ns
moral stock he Is willing to hold only
so long ns It pays dividends.
There Is In such living always n touch
of the pose; It Is waiting for the ap
plause of the gallery. We must let the
consctnusness of doing right, of living
tip to our Ideals, he our reward, or life
will become to us but a series of fall
tires, sorrows and disappointments.
A Plea For Courtships
After Marriage
Br WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN
Human affiH'tlon Is fed by signs and
tokens of that affection. Merely hav
ing kindly feelings Is not enough; they
should be luado manifest III action.
The parched earth Is not refreshed by
the mere fact of water In the clouds; It
Is only when the blessing of rain actu
ally ih-seends that It awakens to new-
life. We are so ready to say. "He
knows how much I think of hint," ond
to assume that na a fitting substitute
for expression. We may kuow that the
sun Is shining somewhere and still
shiver for lack of Its glow and warmth.
Iovo should be constantly mado evi
dent In little acts of thotightfulncss,
words tif sweetness ami appreciation,
smiles and hand etaspa of estism. It
should In shown to be a loving renllty
Instead of n memory by patience, for
beiirance. courtesy nnd kindness.
This theory of presumed conlldeiice
in the persistence of affection Is one of
the sad phases of married life. We
should have roses of love, ever bloom
ing, ever breathing perfume. Instead of
dried roses pressed In the family Itihle
merely for reference ns a memorial of
what was Instead of guarantee of what
is. Matrimony too often shuts the door
of life and leaves sentiment, consider
ntlon nnd chivalry on the outside. The
feeling may possibly be still alive, but
It does not reveal itself rightly. The
rhymed poetry of loving has changed
to blank verse nnd later Into dull prose.
As the boy said of his father, "He's a
christian, but he's not working much
at it now." Love without manifesta
tion dm-s not feed the heart any more
than a locked bread Ikjx feeds the body;
It does not Illuminate and brighten the
round of dully duties any more than an
unlit lamp lightens a room.
Thero Is often such a craving In the
heart of n husband or n wife for ex
pression In words of human love nnd
tenderness that they are welcomed no
matter from what source they may
come. If there were more coortshlps
after marriage, the work of the divorce
courts would bo greatly lessened. This
renllrjitlon is often one of the things
that come too late. From 'The Tower
of Truth," 1'ubllsbed by Brentano'a.

Borne men will cheat even in. soli

When a man permits a torchlight
procession to parade through a powder
magazine, It Is not courteous for blru
to refer to the subsequent explosion aa
"one of the mysterious workings ot

Ileal success In life means the Indi

Truth la not a dress ault consecrated

Like the blind Samson struggling la
the temple, tbe Individual whoso life

the supporting columns of his own edi
fice and perishes In the rulna.
He who thinks all mankind Is rile is
a pessimist who mistakes bis Intro
spection for observation.
Profane expressions of gratitude do
not cancel an Indebtedness any mora
than a promissory note settles an ae

I never seo a fcIKm trying to crawl
or to buy l is way Into society that I
don't think of my old friend. Hank
Smith, and his wife Kate-Kate Holts
she wits before he married her and
liow they tried to butt their way
through the iipiT crust..
Hank and I were Iwys together In
Missouri, and he stayed along In tiie
old towu after 1 left. 1 heard of him
on and oft as tending store a Utile and
farming a little and loafing a good
deal. Then 1 forgot all nlwtit him until
1 one day a few years auo when he
j turned up In the papers ns Captain
Henry Smith, the Klondike gold king.
Just back from Circle City with a mll
1 Hon In dust and anything you please
I lu claims. There's never any limit t.i
1 what a miner may be worth In those,
except his Imagination.
I was n little puzzled when a week
later my otlhe boy brought me a card
reading Colonel Henry Augustus
Hottes-Smythc, but I supposed it was
some distinguished forelgm-r who had
come to size me up so that he could
round out his roast on t'l.lca.-o in his
new book, and I told the boy to show
the colonel la.
I've got a pretty good memory for
faces, and I'd bought t o much store
plug of Hat.k In my time not to kuow
hlin. even vlth n clean shave and a
plug hat. Some men dry up with suc
cess, but It was Just spoiiiiua out c.f
Hank. Told Ine he'd made Ids pile and
that he was tired of living ou the slag
heap; that he'd spent Ids whole life
where money hardly whispered, let
alone talked, and he was going now
where it would shout. Wanted to know
what was the use of being n nob If a
fellow wasn't the nobbiest sort of a
nob. Said he'd bought a house on Heli
con Hill, in Hoston, nud that if I'd
prick up my ram ooinslonally I'd hear
something drop into the Hack liny.
Handed me his new card four times
ami explained that It was the rawest
sort of dog to carry a brace of names
In your card holster; that It gave you
the drop on the swells every time and
that they Just had to throw up both
hands and pass you the pot when you
showed down. Said that Holies was
old lmgllsh for Hot's and that Nmythe
was new AnierhMii for Smith; the Au
gustus was Just a fancy touch, a sort
of high caul kicker.
I didn't i . ..plain to Hank, becaus
was congratulations and not cxplana
tloiu that he wanted, and I make It a
point to show a customer the lim
goods that he's looking for. And I
never heard the full particulars of his
extu rlcnces In the east, though from
w hat I learned afterward Hank struck
Huston w ilh a bang all right.
lie located his claim on l:eacou Hill
between a MnyHowcr descendant and
a 1 .duration signer's great-grandson,
breeds which believe that when the
Lord uiade them he was tlinsigh and
that the rest of lis Just happened. And
he hadn't been in town two hours be
fore lie slatted lu to make improve
ments. There was a high wrought
Iron railing In front of his house, and
he had that gilded first thing, because,
as he said, he wasn't running a re
ceiving vault and he didn't want any
mistakes. Then he bought a nice open
barouche, hud the wheels painted roil,
hired a nigger coachman and started
out In style to be sociable and get
acquainted. Left his card all the way
down one side of Helicon street and
then drove back, leaving It ou the
other. Kverywhore he stopped he
found that the whole family was out.
Kept It up a week, on and off, but
didn't seem to have any luck. Thought
that the men must be hot sports and
the women great gadders to keepoti the
jump so much. Allowed that they were
the liviiliot little lot of lleas that he
had ever cLasisl. Decided to quit try
ing to nail 'cm one at a time and
planned on soin-thliig tl:.:t he t rt

N. It. - Too swift for your uncle.
Hank dropped by my ofllce for a
minute on his way to Frisco. Said he
likitl things lively, but there was alto
gether too much rotighhouse on Hea
con Hill for him. Judged that us the
crowd which wasn't Invited was so
blamed sociable, the one which was
invited would have stayed n week If It
hadn't slipped tip on the date. That
might be the Huston idea, but he want
id a little teore refinement In his. Snhl
he w as u pn tty free spender and would
hold Ids end tip, but he hated a hog.
Of course I told Hank that Hostnn
wasn't all that It was cracked tip to be

City wasn't so tough as It read in the
now spa per, for (here wan no way of
making hlin understand that he might
have lived lu Hostoti for a hundred

tled for things to cook, though I would
ttike a shy at It myself once In awhlltt
and get up my muscle tossing flapjacks.
It was pretty rough sailing, yon bet,
but one way ami another wo managed
to get a good deal of satisfaction out of
It, because v. e had made up our minds
to take our fun as we went along.
With most pie happiness Is some
thing that Is always Just a day off. Hut
I have made it a rule never to put off
being happy till tomorrow.
I was clerking lu a general store at
that time, but 1 had a little weakness
for live stock even then, and while I
couldn't iifrrd to plunge In It exactly
I managed to buy a likely little shote
that 1 riH-koned on carrying through
the summer on credit and presenting
wllh n bill for board in the fall. He
wes Just n plain pig when he came to
us, and wo kept him In a little sty, but
we weren't king 111 finding out that he
wasn't any ordinary root and grunt
pig. The first I knew your mn waa
calling htm Toby and Imd turned him
loose. Answered to his name like a
dog. Never saw such a sociable pig.
Wanted to sit on the porch with us.
Tried to come Into the house evenings.
Used to run down the rond squealing
for Joy when he saw me coming home
from work.
Well, It got on toward November, and
Toby had lccii making the most of his
opportunities. I never snw a pig that
turned corn into fat so fust, and the
stouter he got tho better his disposition
grew. I reckon I was attached to hlin
myself In n sort of a sneaking way, but
I was mighty fond of hog meat, toe,
nnd we needed Toby In tlie kMchen. Bo
I sent around and had him butchered.
When I got borne to dinner next day,
I noticed that your ma looked mighty
solemn aa she set the roast of pork
down lu front of me, but I strayed off,
thinking of something else as I carved,
aud my wits were off woolgathering
sure enough when I said:
"Will you have a piece of Toby, my
dearr
Well, air, she Just looked at me for
moment, and than she burst out crying
and ran away from the table. But
when I went after her and asked her
iwhat was the matter sue stopped cry
lug and waa mnd In a minute all the
way through. Called me a heartless,
cruel canulbaL That aeemed to relieve
her so tbst she got over ber mad and
began to cry again. Begged ma to take
Toby out of pickle and to bury bim In
the garden. I ressoned with ber, and
In the end I made her see that any
obsequies for Toby, with pork at 8
cents a pomid, would be a pretty ex
pensive funeral for us. But first and
hist aha bad managed to take my appe
tite away so that I didn't want any
roast pork for dinner or cold pork for
supper.
That night I took what waa left of
Toby to a storekeeper at tbe Crossing,
who I knew would be able to gate on
Us hams without bursting Into tears,
and got a pretty fab- price for him.
simply mention Toby in passing aa
aa example of why I believe women
weren't cat out for business at least
for the pork packing business. I've bad
dealings with a good many of them,
tret and hist, and If s been my ezperl
euce that when they've got a weak
case they add their sex to tt and win,
and that when they've got a strong
case they subtract their sex from it
and deal with you harder tnsa a man.
They're simply bound to win either
way, and I don't like tolsy a gams
where I haven't any show. When a
clerk makes a fool break, I don't want
to beg Bis pardoa for railing bis attea
tio to It, and I don't want blra to
blosh and tremble and leak a little
brine into a fancy pocket' handkerchief.
A little chance fat a mighty soothing
thing, and I Ilka a woman's ways too
BibcIi at borne to cars very mock for
them at tbe office. Ins tend of hiring
women I try to hire their fcMbands,
