"A striped Japanese kimono I" the
visitor exclaimed, when she came to

Don't Trifle With Truth.
When you repeat something which
someone has told you, be careful to
give It the same meaning as the one
who Imparted the Information.
Often the change of one word puts
an entirely different meaning to a
story, which leaves a wrong Impres
sion. If you hud a cataract on one eye,
and you contemplated a simple opera
tion In time which would effect 0 cure,
how would you like to hear that you
had "gone blind?"
Perhaps your father has moved his
business to a distant city where there
Is an asylum for the Insane. Under
these circumstances how would you
like to bear In a public place that
your father had "gone crazy?" Yet
this very thing happened. An Incor
rect Intonation gave the . Impression
that the man hud gone to the asylum
and a stupid friend misconstrued the

Some people, too, tike to add Just a
little sensational touch to whatever
they repeat. They think it gives "pep."
Satisfy your vanity In some other
way than perverting the truth. I'ltts

lives, anyway, according to his de
sires. It sets you dreaming of all the
faraway places to think of him. He
moors his little house ou the cool
northern streams In the summer, and
drifts down the warm blue southern
rivers during the winter. He Is not
averse to a bit of work now and then,
enough to keep htm In coffee and ba
con, but he can choose his work as be
goes, and leave it when he grows tired
of It Work Is his avocation, and, as
an avocation, work Is not an unpleas

pays neither rent nor taxes. He owns
only a bit of an old shack, somehow

It will float. It Is even possible, you, i

A shanty boAtmnn was not so long
ago a resident of this very town. With
a proper sense of the fitness of things
he tied his boat to a fence, In line
with the houses on the shore and even
painted a number over the front door.
It was a Jolly looking little home, with
the smoke coming out of the pipe In
the roof and lamplight shining from
the edge of the curtains, and, for all
we know, he may have a regular Job
aud have taken to city life very con
tentedly for a while. The advantage
he had over the rest of us, of course,
was that to get away to the faraway
places, he had only to untie his boat
and drift, accepting now and then a,
bit of a lift from a friendly craft
The thing that la likely to bother us,
however, In choosing this sort of ex
istence, Is the question as to wheth
er we should really be a shanty boat
man, or Just pretend to be oue. Steven
son was a sort of shanty boatmun. At
least, ho did drift about through the
country In a boat and lived very con
tentedly and lazily on the way. But
Stevenson has written a book about his
wanderings, and he was not reully a
shanty boatman at nil. It Is Just the
difference you may say, between art
and vagrancy. Vagrancy has an Idle
sound, and art Is a tempting thing.
The very point In being a shanty boat
man, however, Is In not having to try
to bo anything else, and, perhnps the
best thlug about it la tho fact that
It Is so far removed from art as to,

War's Convictions.
What has happened Is that out ot
the blackest, most Infernal experience
through which, as far as we know,
the race has ever passed there hat
seemed to como literally to millions
of men a redeeming conviction, a heal
ing and transfiguring assurance, that
brotherhood Is not a delusion ; that life
has a meaning; that resolution end
courage and discipline and simple faltn
In fellowmen and loyalty to Ideals are
now, as they have always been, with
in that meaning; that these things are,
as they will be forever, within ninn's
heritage, to be displayed In war until
the better way Is found. E, T. Devlne.
"Fourth of July" In March. '
Fireworks on Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks of
Alaska for tho simple reason that the
July nights are almost as light as the
days and It does not pay to attempt
pyrotechnic displays If there Is no
darkness to show them off by contrast
Consequently It has become the cus
tom In many Alaskan cities, Including
Fairbanks, to hold a "Fourth of July"
celebration on March 4, whon the
nights are still very long. Then there
Is abundant opportunity for displaying
fireworks of every variety.
