DON'T WASTE IT
WARY OLD BIRD IS TRUTH
Fact Worth Remembering When One
It Tempted to Criticise Errors
Seen in Newspapers.
"Where do you g>-t the absurd facts
you print'"" Is a favorite query put
to newspaper men. In the view of
these cynics, newspapers spend most
of their time misspelling names, im
agining Incidents that never happened,
aud generally luauhaudling life us it Is
led.
There Is just one answer to he made
to the query above, and that is:
"Newspapers pet such of their facts
as are absurd from the absurd human
beings who for one reason <>r a thou
sand refuse to relate facts accurately."
Newspapers, truth-telling newspapers,
upend a very large part of their time
correcting these misstatements, run
ning th< ;a to their source, jind petting
at the truth. A certain proportion of
error gets by—cot us great a propor
tion as can be heard In any village
neighborhood gossip. for it is the con
cern of newspapers—of honest i>nes,
that is—to allow for errors ami correct
tbem. whereas It Is the concern of
those other purveyors of news, gossips,
to create errors whenever they are
more lnteresjing than the truth.
The uext time you find an error in
your favorite newspaper, try an experi
ment. Try to capture one small fact
yourself. In your own home town.
You will qub-kly discover just how
wary a bird the truth i« and how very
unpopular.—New York Tribune.
Japanese Arts and Letters.
The Yarnato association has been |
formed by distinguished Japanese cit- !
izens for the pur|»ose of making Nip
pon's achievements in arts and letters
better known to the western world. Irs '
promoters believe that Japanese civil- i
lzatlon is not correctly understood by I
the vast majority of Occidental people.
Her naval, military and scientific ad
vancement is recognized, bur the West
has yet to comprehend the significance
of her achievements in the humanities.
The Japan Magazine, commenting
upon the new organization, says:
'"Many foreigners are disposed to look
upon Japan as merely a military na
tion. whereas her most Important side
Is the genius 0f h»r unique civilization j
and character. If people could get a |
glimpse of the soul of Japan they I
would have quite a different opinion of
her. This can best be had from Jap
anese art and literature, which in many
ways are equal to those of the West.
Even those Occidentals who try to ap
preciate Japanese art prefer the least
representative art of the nation. And
as for Japanese literature. It Is prac
tically unknown among western peo
ple."
The association will publish works
on Japanese history, literature nnd art
and make translations into European
languages of the best works of Japan
ese writers, ancient and modern; in
addition Its endeavor will be to pro
mote the improvement of the national
music und drama. _

COMRADESHIP IN MARRIED LIFE.
There »s but one reason, l>ut oue
Justification for marriage, an<) that Is
—love; all ihe other motives are not
reasons, they are only excuses. Those
who start In married life with a good
capital of love feel that they here an
absolute guarantee of harmony and
happiness that will endure through
' all their years, but if they depend sole
ly on love they may find they are ex
hausting their capital Instead of living
on the interest and may soon become
bankrupt of love. But love alone Is
too fine, delicate and emotional to
stand the constant hard usage of daily
life. Like gold, it is better and strong
er when alloyed; love should be made
sturdy and lasting. reiuforced.
strengthened and intensified In Its
power to »esist wear. It is only when
alloyed, or blended, with comradeship
and trust that it Is at Its best.
The truest, sweetest and happiest
marriages are those of two who Just
are wedded sweethearts and good
chums. With this duality of condition
and trust that keeps their atmosphere
pure, clear, bracing and wholesome, all
sources of discord are neutralized, all
Joys are doubled by sharing, all sor
rows lightened by mutual sympathy,
comfort and Inspiration, and all prob
lems solved in the sweet sacreduess of
conference, with the united wisdom of
both ever at the command of either,
needing no o'Jtslde referee.
success lu murrit'u me uuca uvi in
quire heroic spectacular qualities pos
sible only to a few chosen ones, the
elect of the earth; it needs only loving
comradeship aud confidence, a little
self-control, courage, kindness, unsel
fishness. cheerfulness and just daily
patience along the way. It does not
require wealth, for often the poor are
the happiest and most contented. It
does not demaud intellectual powers
and fine education, for two aged lovers,
hardly able to read, may sit together
tn the sunshine by a cottage door at
eventide, finding all their world In
each other's eyes, telling their beads
of sweet memories of past joys and of
sorrows outlived, and as her thin worn
hand rests lovingly in his, there seems a
benediction of calm peace and conse
crated love that makes mere intellec
tual wisdom seem worthless by con
trast.
There are some who tell us the qual
ities necessary in husband and wife.
The long Inventory sounds like an un
abridged dictionary of all the virtues i
and one can Imagine the saints blush
ing with shame at the sudden realiza
tion of how far short they are of this I
perfection. It seems like a test ex
amination for a front seat in paradise
and few of us would get more than a
nine per cent rating on an honest
marking.
Let us be thankful that two who are
Just human and with all their faults,
foibles and fallings can have happiness
If they determine to have It and pay
the price in thought and. effort. It Is
not a gamble; it Is a cortalnty If both
determine to do their best and work
is union and uuity. U daes pot mean
! a life unclouded"'by trial, sorrow, or
; suffering but a home filled with love
and peace, a rest and a refuge where
no real discord can long throw dark
! enLng shadows.
| Comradeship Is one of the strongest"
! ties of married life. Comradeship Is
friendship in a negligee suit; It is free,
near, trustful, comfortable, familiar
aud Intimate. It has a basic respect
that makes formality out of place, and
pretense and pose seem treason: the
I two are their natural selves, sponta
neous and unrestrained except by that
respect for each other's individuality
1 that makes each careful not to wound
or offend the other.
Comradeship between husband and
wife is the finest type of friendship,
for pulsing through it is the constant
current of love, tenderness, sympathy,
nearness, dearness and closer com
munion of interests, that ever vitalizes,
intensifies and freshens. Comrade
ship gives to each a finer, truer under
standing of the other that comes, not
from the mere observation of acts and
of moods, but from glimpses Into the
depths of each other's thought, the
revealings of standards and ideals, the
unconscious confession of hopes, fears
and longings and restless ambitions
that are hidd<£ forces struggling to
wards expression like the root of a
plant seeking to penetrate the soil and
reach the light. These come only In
easy conversation where there Is no
thought of talking for effect, no sense
of being on dress parade.
When the two are real comrades the
wife is interested in the hobbies,
games, business, friends and politics

fun he can have knocking a little ball
