.uuBii, .,ui we love, we must tnko him
oerlously, but not literally.
Thla Is all because Cervantes was a
personal embodiment of nil tho chivalrous
Imagination of all the nges. His life be
gan before chivalry wan out-moiled, be
fore Its practices became n laughing
stock; ho was born to glowing vlsloni of
chivalry, which, at Its best, meant Im
pntlonco of wrongdoing, eagerness to
exnlt Justice, nealous redress of abuse,
faith ln mankind, hope for tho eternal,
charity for all humanity. Contact with
the sordldncss of n prosaic world only
confirmed his beliefs. Tho fruit of them
Is r worldbook. a la founded In true
humor and thus inoveti tours, ns well
as laughter, Indignation ns well as
sympathy. It nays follies, but they are
of no ago and no country. They nro
universal. We can ln this now world of
whloh ho barely knew, In this material
period of whloh he never dreamed, read
Cervantca with profit. He can chasten
our manners nnd morals with n smile,
fulfilling the true function of comedy.
Men have not changed greatly. Don
Quixote and Sanciio I'ansa are universal
types Individualized with rare art. They
are skilfully romantic yot convincingly
real. The Don Is the man of Imagination
without understanding, tho squire is the
trtnn nt rnmtnntui1nn im,1af,.ti.il... ii.

"CONSCIENCE CLEAR,"
SAYS THE GOVERNOR
'Let Us Stand Up Like Men
and Face the Facts," He De
clares at Norristown
Governor Brumbaugh, during nn ad
dress fast night ln tho City Hall at Nor
ristown, declared that ho had a clear con
science regarding tho chaiges made
against him by Representative Isadore
Stern, of Philadelphia.
Colonel Louis J. Kolb accompanied the
Governor to Norristown He refused to
discuss tho subject of tho reported con
tribution of fGOOO to tho Governors cam
palgn expenses.
In referring to tho Stern charges, the
Goernor said: "Let us not bo deceived
by specious statements of sordid men;
let us stand up like men and face the
facts" Some peoplo may blow slanderous
words and statements at us, but that docs
net matter when wo llo ulth u clear con
science." "Have you nnythlng to say of tho out
como of May 16?" tho Governor was
asked.
"I havo only pleasant thoughts of tho
outcome." was his reply.
Speaker Ambler, too, a native son of
Montgomery, candidate for Auditor Gen
eral, got a grc.it ovation when he took
tho floor. Ho spokejmly a few moments,
urging support for the Governor's fight
and placing himself before his neighbors
ns their candidate "content to abide by
their decision "
The Governor's reference to "spurious
statements by sordid men" was his open
ing. H.ivlng disposed of that ho plunged
Into what ho Ueclnrcd to bo the greatest
l3suo of the moment, the need of a pro
tective tariff to assuro continuous pros
perity not only In Pennsylvania, but In
tho nation.
"In asking you to support tho dele
gates wo have placed In the field," he
mild, "I am simply asking you to send to
Chicago men who will bo unbossed and
untrammeled, who will do fhe will of the
people and not the will of tho boss.
"I am standing here tonight pleading
that Isuse with you. I am pleading with
o,u to assure a great Itepubllcan victory
in order that continuous prosperity may
be ours. Then there Is another thing I
want to ask you to do and -that Is to sup
port Mr. Ambler, who aided me In putting
great humane legislation upon the statute
books of the State. And I also plead with
you to help mo put another law upon those
books a local option law which will give
the peoplo the right to decide tho liquor
question In their community for themselves."

Columbus
A single new fact on his horizon made
Columbus the discoverer of the New World.
(Probably you know what it was.)
and Newton
A single fortunate observation enabled
Newton to establish the law of gravitation.
(It was not the fall of the apple.)
and Faraday
A chance reading of an old encyclopaedia turned
Michael Faraday, poor bookbinder's apprentice, into the
greatest experimental genius of his age.
a
Girl!
Spending her free evenings delving in a work of ref er
"ence gave a girl in a store information that jumped her
salary from $12 to $50 a week.
(The same great work that, in an old edition, inspired Faraday,
over a hundred years ago.)
about YOU!
YOU might find in this same work one new fact gain
one new suggestion which might be worth to you many
times what it would cost you. (We know of men who have. )
v Needless almost to say what this great work is. You know it
, well by name. For 148 years it has been, as the New York Times
said of it, "not a set of books, but a great institution."
THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA
(Now to be had in the new Eleventh
Edition, at a phenomenally low price.)
"" But maybe
You are among those who instinctively think of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica as only for scholars, educators
and professional men as the picturesque phrase goes, a
work for "high-brows." N
That is perfectly natural. Most scholars, educators and
professional men do ovn it 95 Harvard professors and in
structors, 75 at Columbia and so on.
(Throughout the English-speaking world there is probably not
a score of colleges or libraries that do not possess this standard
work of reference. The New York Public Library has 25 sets of
the new Eleventh Edition.)
dfT But it is not valuable for "high-brows "alone. It is equally
LL valuable tor you. ana we wouia nice you to realize xnis.
t So we have prepared a richly illustrated book
with nearly 200 illustrations of the most varied char
acter and of real interest, with a hundred bits of
curious information, endeavoring to present this new
work from a hundred different points of view.
and prove its value to you.
.We send vou this 130-page book post free-
simply cut out the coupon below and return it with
your name and address, Understand that we shall bo
glad to send you this boolf no matter if you haven't
the slightest idea of buying the Britannica now.
Because maybe some day you will. And tho book
itself is interesting and worth your while.
