Is "To Be Good Is to Be Happy," as True as It Sounds? Doubt .Cast on the Value of Early Rising as a Road to Prosperity.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

The truth will prevail." This, like many another old saw, is honored in the saying rather than in the observance. It really means nothing at all. Rather should-it read: "The liars prevail," or "The lie prevails." . .; Old saws have done more, perhaps, to pervert the human mind, or human action, through "misdirection, than any other one agenqy toward degeneracy. Listen "To be good Is to be happy." When everybody "knows that often to be good is to be miserable, mashed up against the wall," ignored, bullyragged, browbeaten insulted, neglectod, snubbed and generally run through the ringer. While the so-called "bad" peoplethat is those Avho are careless of social law and convention, and not the nether-world especially seem to be enjoying themselves very well, eat, drink and are merryOh well, some one ' says, eating, drinking and being merry 1 merely a surface, a mask it hides trouble and an aching heart. This may be but it is not invariably the rule. Ixts of people who teeter on the precipice of convention, or if safely within the limits, are not. in the "good" class, who are frankly self Ishyjwho are what church people call '. worldly," who are what is sometimes termed "easy-going," who, In short, have plenty of the good tilings of this life and live indulgently, have few above the routine troubles incident to humanity and get on much better than the puritanical ones. This may orraay not be reprehensible but it remains a fact. If they don't get to heaven,? anyt sooner there 1 no

one to. say that the others "beat 'em to It." 'And, In the meantime, they refute, the lovely, pious, fraudulent old saw-"to be good is to be happy." That la, one, kind of good. Andswas there ever, in the annals of platitudinous epigram, any more misleading than "Early to bed, early to rise, makes people healthy," etc. This without doubt is the most murderous of them all. Do wenot know perfectly healthy and undoubtedly wealthy, if not particularly wis people, who lounge abed ''til the sun is high in the heavens and who do not retire to the privacy of their respective, boudoirs until the cock crows once at least, and maybe several times? The while others arise in thecold grey of the morning and proceed to cook and scrub and maul and pound and saw, and who, at. the end of the day, too tired to even read the evening paper if they have enough money to take one tumble into bed and sleep stupidly through the night? Sure. You know dozens on both sides of the line. Did you ever stop to think of the processions of those who bend at the bench, who shovel before the furnace-door, who are tied to the uncongenial desk, who wearily stand the day whipped into line by th-. .stern task-master of the struggle to live? Of eternal getting up in the dark and cold and grey of the morning, of the shuffle, or scuffle or interminable hike to the shop or factory or store or office? Of the dreary task done over and over? Of the monotonous routine? Of the discomfort and grind and the intolerable insolence of their superiors? Then back again in hopeless and grimy procession to supper and bed by, say, eight, or at farthest nine o'clock? Over and over-again, day in, day out, week in, week out, months piling up and Climaxing into years? And not enough money to keep body and soul together decently and in ordeY. "Early to bed and early to rise!" Then there is "honesty is the best policy." The most casuaj observer : at the game of life knows this is one of those mottoes before which fiends stop and wave the mocking finger. Whenever some captain of high finance is run to cover and sent to a Federal prison to languish for two or three years, while negotiations are under way for a special dispensation from the governor of his state or some Other more exalted-official, and where

Vbe keeps the books, leads the prison orchestra, or acts as librarian, . heads

are wagged portentously and it is said " and so 'honesty is the best policy-

Not reflecting that all the time he was operating under the law of the

la Guaranteed by A. G. Luken and Co, Special Agents. Nearly everyone has dandruff, and must reconcile themselves to the idea of. becoming completely bald or resort to the use of Newbro'a Herpicide. The manufacturers have absolute faith in Herpicide to kill the germs and remove all traces of dandruff. So perfect is this belief that all dealers are instructed to sell the preparation with a "money back" agreement. Such supreme confidence is the best evidence In the world of the merit of Herpicide. They know the result, hence the guarantee. It protects the purchaser. Used as directed, Newbro's Herpicide kills the germ that causes dandruff and prevents the hair from coming out. It stops itching of the scalp which is so disagreeable. Send 10c in postage or silver for sample and booklet to The Herpiclle Co.. Dept. R., Detroit, Mich. Herpicide is for sale by all druggists, and applications may be obtained at good barber shops.

super-grab you were toadying and genuflecting and hanging on to ' the edges of the wall of sycophants which solidly surrounded him. Don't the people that lie and Bteal and juggle and side-step, under cover of law, seem to flourish as the green; bay-tree and don't the "poor but hon-' est" have to be content with the can-dle-pariiags and cheese scrapings and general odds and ends of existence? And to return to "the truth will prevail." Is there really "such a thing" as" truth? " When you reflect upon the amount of tall and excellent lying done by: fche few people you come in contact 'with every day and think you know and then reflect that you only know of the lies they tell you, or you bear them, tell somebody else, and, upon the?.vagt millions who are probably, doing. Abe same thing and who you never jm either see or know, you are .appalled by the most hideous and sardonic liev

tf alt "The truth will prevail."

It's the half-truth, however, that is

more damning : than the open, bare

faced lie. The insinuation cleverly cloaked, the partial statement skillfully veiled, the plausible explanation frankly made, the twisting of a fact to a setting of falsity. But this is no more disheartening in its inevitable success, than that elusive, eel-like wriggling which is fair of face but black of heart. Which smiles and purrs and caresses, the while it is gently reaching round and ripping a nice, large, straight and unmistakable hole down the back. Which gives you a sweet look and, at a turn of the head, is directing toward you the mocking, sneering, lyhig wink the shrugging grimace, the de

risive finger. It is said sometimes of these latter that you "cannot depend on them." Can you depend on anybody? Hardly. At least rarely, Everybody i3 moved by self-interest. They are nice to people as long as there is reciprocal flattery or a working of each other's particular little gold-mine. But, to continue the figure, when the vein ends in a cul de sac, a blind alley, or just gives oat for lack of material, then pouf! where are those charming friends who swore that as long as the sun shone and the moon came up of a summer night, as long as the winds blew and men were born into the world would they be true to you. Where are they, sure enough? Peep round the corner and there yon see them arm in arm with your worst enemy whom they had formerly denounced to you as unstable, not to be trusted, unsafe, and, indeed dangerous, and who must, at all costs, be avoided. Whom they warned you against as undesirable. Whom they advised you to frown down and ex-communicate.

j Behold you them now, to your : amazement and consternation, whis

pering confidentially into that other's ear your most deeply guarded secrets. Alas that this should also be so sadly true. But anybody you address casually on the street can unfold a tale of woe which would last from the present until the crack o' doom if you'd listen

with this "you can't depend on anybody" motif for the theme of his discourse. '" Those who regulate their activities upon mottoes and old saws, therefore; are doomed to be held up and robbed of their birthright every day in the week. And there is only one in the entire

repertoire which is worth a "bally ? whoop" "Eternal vigilance is the price of

liberty."

PARISIAN REUCT HAS 88 PROPOSALS LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23. Mrs. Lucius Hopkins Smith, a dainty Parisian widow, twenty-seven years old, registered at a hotel here, came to this country four months ago topay a last tribute to her late husband.

, Since then she has received eightyj eight offers to wed. The proposals come from clerks, business men, farm j hands and playwrights, and were by j letter, by telephone, -by telegram and ' in person. i Mrs. Smith's husband, a wealthy cot
