From My Narrow Little Window EK By I THE HOOSIER OBSERVER U J YES, BUT LEAN FAR ENOUGH OUT. ’

i Uncle John came out to visit ns the ■ other day. They got all to reciting some dramatic poetry from Scott or ’ Shakespeare or some of those other . very demonstrative and sanguine ■ poets, in which the characters called I each other, well —that which spells "rail" backwards and which you must * I be to belong to the Annanaias club — , and in which they threatened murder I and incendiarism and every other terrible thing. “Hadn't we better shut i the doors?" some one suggested. ’The neighbors might think this is a fam- - tly quarrel or murder and will call I the police.” The doors were shut, then and there. I But then there are the windows to I reckon with. too. One day a neighbor said to my brother: "What were you 1 and your sister fighting about the oth- • er day? I went past and happened ■ to glance in the window saw you slapl ping and beating her something aw- • ful. I did think I’d come in and inter- ‘ sere." Well, it was this way. It was early on a winter morning. I had lifted a r corner of my nap-fleeced kimona to open the door of the hard coal heater. Before I knew anything else my I brother’s hands were slapping and fairly pawing over me as he beat out the flame that had rushed over me , like a wave, eating the nap of the i fleeced kimona. His hands were burn- > ed, too. before he put the blaze out, r but I was safe as a bug in a rug, 1 thanks to his timely assistance. I * * • * i I have heard of a preacher down in Kentucky that the neighbors were about to mob. because they heard his wife, ordinarily a quiet, fine little wo- ■ man —screaming and crying again and again, apparently in awful agony. • as though he were beating her. Her 1 head also bore great black and blue • siMits and bumps. Fortunately, her physician intervened and told the story—she was subject to hysterics and had beaten her own head against the floor like a naughty child. Her husband had tried to shield the fact from the public. He was let go. of course, when .everything was explained. Still another story comes of a wife that had told to her family awful tales of her husband's cruelty to 1 her. The family believed them, under protest, as he had always appeared a line fellow to them and prior to that, the couple had gotten along very well. Finally she began to tell neighbors tales of how her and other relatives had misused her. Investigation showed that she was insane'and not responsible for what she told. All of which shows that you can’t always judge by what I you hear; and no more can you believe even what you see I am glad that I have learned that. It saves me many a friend whom I might have otherwise condemned un heard, and passing them up. have missed much myself, that is good in life.

a find will help us, if taken right. { * * * * r Sometimes these narrow little winr dows of ours play the very deuce in r life. It therefore behooves us to lean B as far out as we can. and get as broad :1 a look, and also from as many litttle s windows on as many sides as we can. t No two persons see the same things, even in lookiug from the same window; and how much different the r thing must look, viewed from different ’- windows. In this very town of Decat tur 1 have looked from a window toB wards the front of a brick business i- house and found it grand and impfesI ing. One day while coming down an alley on a short cut from getting a hurry-up piece of news 1 saw tlie building from th? rear and it looked B like a squat, litlte old frame strifer ture the front only was of brick. u with a high wall front to add false i- height. 1 needed both views to ’give ,1 me a correct picture. >. The more 1 think of the wonderful r. parallel there is in the account of •. the four disciples. Matthew. Mark. Luke and John, in their story of Jesus y and his life here, the more I marvel a that four men should write a story of r) the same thing so nearly alike. So much, alone, should prove that they v Ijad divine inspiration. ■j It s very nearly mpossible for peot pie to see things alike; and what is p more to tell the same story about it. e I realize that every day in my work p as a reporter. I may hear the story from two people of the same family , and neither be alike. It was the same way in writing a story about our own house that was struck by light ning. 1 was not at home at the time II and heard it from one member of e the family. 1 wrote it that way. When s I went home in the evening another h member said: “Why. no. that is not 11 the way it was at all; it was this ’ way.” Each had seen it the way he 1 had told it. Both were right from e their view-points. ' One of Dickens’ school-teacher char l “ acters said: "Facts is facts.” May s be. but how are we going to tell what < facts are? Long ago. in our physics r class we were taught that if there 1 were no ears to hear, there would be f no thunder—that it is the sound pro- ' duced in our ear; so there would be 1 no green of the trees if there were nr eyes; and no sweet of the apple if ’ there were no sense of taste. I was 1 much impressed with the way one of 1 the Chautauqua speakers—Dr. Barker, ' I think—said things. Over and over he said, in the course of his address * “In my opinion, this is so and so.’ ’ Never once did 1 hear him firmlj say, "This is so and so.” He had learned that truths are relative. If we must say anything, let us lie careful and say. "It is said," or “This is the 1 way it seems to me." But be very 1 careful in all instances, that you see 1 it as nearly right as possible, and then tell it just as you saw it, giving ■ all the “facts” of circumstances and setting "as I saw it.” HERE is a reiaeJy that will cure most all skin ani scalp troubles.
