THE WORKERS. When Earth's last picture ia painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded and the youngest critic has died. We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of all good workmen shall put us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit In a golden chair; They shall splash with a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet's hair; They shall find real saints to draw from Magdalene, refer and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one nball work for money, and no one shall work for fame. But each for the Joy of working, and each, In his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees it for the Ood of Things as they are. Rudyard Kipling. SOCIAL EVENTS FOR THE WEEK.

There are wedding trips and wedding trips and sometimes there are wedding trips craftily planned and executed by those most Interested. One of the recent bridal couples said they would go east on their wedding trip '-and so their friends thought. "And they did go east, but It was only a few steps from the home of the bride's ; parents to the new home. When the couple left their guests to prepare for the wedding Journey they went upstairs Just as many another couple has don but they continued going upstairs until they reached the attic and there they remained while the guests waited for them to come down. As time passed and there was no sign of them the company dispersed, thinking that the bride and bridegroom had "given them the slip" and were away to the tratn. When the last guest had gone the chief actors In the scene of the evening came down from their hlghts and calmly proceeded to their new home. The temptation to get into the new house and place all the gifts in their new places and get to housekeeping outweighed any other desire in the matter of getting started In life so the bridal robes gave way to the kitchen apron and the two sat down in their own home to breakfast Instead of being miles away and selecting what they would' eat from a railroad dining car menu, and they thought it was much nicer, very much nicer than being handcuffed together on a train by friends Killing to have sport at their expense. " Some of the newly wedded couples of this month have gone to the Atlantic coast, some to the Pacific, some have gone to summer cottages which at at this season are not so thronged as earlier, some have gone, to visit relatives, and. In fact the Journeys are as varied as the weddings. Another wedding couple that "went east," stopped at Greenfield; another went south to Brown county, which proves that going In any direction does not mean that east la New York, nor west San Francisco.

MILLION DOLLAR TEMPERAMENT A recent newspaper article classing Geraldine Farrar with a number of other operatic artists, who are the posessors of what the writer calls "million-dollar temperaments," says that she "cannot restrain her passion for clothes.

When it is said that her dresses are the most costly creations of the great Parisian costumers the enormous outlay will be appreciated. She spends thousands of dollars a year on feathers. When Miss Farrar sees a new dress or a feather, she is instantly all emotion. She just has to buy them." A GREAT TENOR.

A highland shepherd, one Donald McAlpin, a famous dancer, was reputed to have cured his mistress of a mysterious malady by means of dancing a reel with ber, and this story being nosed abroad gained him the reputation of being a successful physician. Ills humble cottage In Sloekmuick, overlooking Strathspey, was besieged with crowds of patients who hoped to get rid of their ailments by a dance with Donald. The shepherd did not hesitate to take advantage of this stroke of good luck and soon had a large and thriving practice. The treatment adopted was very simple, the mala features being as follows: In cases of Indigestion moderate doses of medicated "aqua" were taken, followed by the ' ceum shuil, cr promenade step. For catarrh Donald prescribed In order to prodaee perspiration a large dose of gruel mixed with honey and butter, follovred by ceum crask, cr highland Cing. All the different processes terminated In the patient beinjr well wrapped cp in warm blankets, and the doses of medi cine and dancins wor? repeated, according to the patient's constitution and the nature of his disease.

ROW OF BEAUTIFUL

People of West Richmond Expect Some Day to Awake and See Their Wonderful Maples Demolished Ideals and Enemies of Socialism.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE, 1 Some day, eay residents of the j National road opposite Earlham, theyj will get up in the morning and see the ! row of big maples that lines the east fide of the campus, in a process of; demolition. This, they say. is to accommodate the new cement sidewalk and curbing the county commissioners are supposed to be about to place on that side of the road. This row of maples cannot be duplicated in the state. The trees are unusually large examples of their sort and were planted over half a century ago by the late Walter Carpenter. If they were cut down or cut out, or their roots cut Into, to make a miserable straight line for the curb and sidewalk, it would be nothing short of a crime. Other cities acd towns have "been known to do something to preserve the beauty of their trees. Walks have been built away from, and around, trees of this character. There is no mad wail for a cement walk and curb from thai section of the community anyway. However it is without the city limits and Within the jurisdiction of the county commissioners, and the latter have put the supervision of the construction of the walk in the hands of city civil engineer, Fred Charles. Certainly the trustees of Earlham college cannot permit this magnificent row of maples to be injured in any way and certainly the citizens of the town should not countenance it since, to all intents and purposes, these trees are in Richmond, and the time for persons, interested in the decorative aspect of the town, to see that they are preserved, is now. - Anent some remarks in this column to the effect that three trees in Glen Miller which were alive last year are dead this, a prominent citizen who does not like to think that live wires fastened to live trees during the time of the Chautauqua can possibly have any effect on the trees, stated that these three trees had been dead for twenty years. Trees deed for twenty years are not apt to be standing. These trees have not been dead for twenty years. They were alive in 1910. Dead in 1911.

TREES MENACED

What may or may not have been the cause of their lamented demise, the dates remain as above. "When men of the better class form a society for promoting some noble or Ideal aim, says Schopenhauer, the result almost always is that the innumerable mob of humanity comes crowding in too, as it always does everywhere, like vermin their object being to try and get rid of boredom, or some other defect of their nature; and anything that will effect that, they seize upon at once without the slightest discrimination. "Some of them will slip into that society, or push themselves in. and then either soon destroy it altogether, or alter it so much that in the end it comes to have a purpose the exact opposite of that which it had at first." This is illustrated everywhere in every community. People organize for some altrurian or disinterested purpose. Ha! says some person, probing around for a vehicle with which to exploit personal ambition, a good thing. I will annex it. Immediately this person or set of persons will, in the devious methods always inherent in those of their class, join. Whoop up enthusiasm. Pose as impersonal devotees of whatever cause or object the society was originally formed to exploit, but, on the ; side, eternally worming themselves up nearer the platform, until finally the entire official machinery is in the individual's, or set of individuals' hands, the founders and promoters are turned out root and branch and the organization, while flaunted as pursuing Its original aims, is really being used for the financial prefer

ment and In forwarding personal am bitions of those who as literally robbed as It they had cracked a safe.

This Is one thing that retards the progress of the socialistic propaganda. The principles of socialism are altrurian. But its really noble philosophy is often debased and twisted out of gear by unworthy exponents, or alleged exponents. And for this reason the presence of Debs in this city last week was a good one "for the cause. Whatever may or may not be said or thought about Debs, none can deny his power. This is primarily due, no doubt, to his personality. Like Bryan, he draws people to him for more subtle reasons than belief In his polltics although socialism could hardly be calle-i politics or admiration for his oratory. These things cannot be explained. All great leaders, whether successful or unsuccessful, possess them. When Debs says: "It is better to serve humanity than to exploit it True happiness is ao out going. We cannot be happy without a sense of social obligation," you feel that it is true, even lfv all the time, you are not sure that it only ends in personal unhappiness over ingratitude and from benefits forgot." The meeting at the Coliseum on Thursday night was an Interesting commentary on the attitude of this supposedly conservative community toward the advanced political and social thought of the day. That there were nearly two thousand people present who had paid an admission fee of twenty-five cents to hear the noted expounder of a cult although socialism is greater than a cult Is indicative of the presence of a greater body of intelligent thinkers on human affair than might be supposed from surface bubblings. The truth is that everybody is tired of the old order. They're ready for a new. Some selfishly, others unselfishly. The former predominate. For man is a selfish animal. Socialism, in its higher Ideals, is not practicable under the present human organiza

reprehensible? v ; That we are created to be happy ia one of the tenets of a certain philosophy, and that in the achievement of this, we contribute to the ethical advancement of society. And this may be as true as its reversal. There is something abhorrent In the inexorable creed of happiness attained only through suffering.

V ' The wild cattle of Great Britain have become one of the curloaitea of the bovine race to England. There are Very few herds of them remaining, and most of thee are diminishing from a very natural cause. Of couree they are confined In parka and are jealously guarded from any admixture of alien blood. They are aa wild aa buffaloes and are treated In the earn . way as deer. In color they are white, , with red ears, and historians assert that they had a large share In the evolution of the Shorthorn ao It la known 'today. It Is certain that the color . mentioned very often crops up quite' unexpectedly in our pedigree herds. They will probably become extinct in a few year owing to the extreme, dim culty of procuring sires unrelated to the herds and yet of the same breed.
