AMERICA’S OBJECT.
“The object of this war is todeliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
inate the world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obli
gations of treaty or the long established
practices and long-cherished principles of in
ternational action and honor; which chose its
own time for the war; delivered its blow
fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; sw'ept a whole con
tinent within the tide of blood—not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands balked but not defeat
ed, the enemy of four-fifths of the world. - ’ —
[Fbom President Wilson’s Reply to the
Pope.]

AND FAMILY.
Life’s Treasure Stores.
Success and contentment begin with
the realization that life represents a
valuable treasure. We may liken life
to a field. At first the owner values
It for wild berries; then, ceasing to
be a wanderer, he becomes an agri
culturist, and values it for its rich har
vest; grown wiser still, he discovers
coal; amazed at the treasure, he digs
and finds silver and gold; astounded,
he goes deeper, and lo! the seam is
full of diamonds. And every life holds
all the strata of underlying and un
suspected stores of treasures. —Rev.
Newell Dwight’Hillis.
Just Half Obeying.
Sherwood, tired of his play, had
made several attempts at opening the
kitchen door. His mother, hearing
him, called out: “Turn the knob and
come in,’’ prompting Sherwood’s an
swer, “Well, mamma, I is a turnin’,
but I isn't tuipin’ in.”
Million-Dollar Brain.
“Old Bostely says he has a million
dollar brain,” observed the man "who
was always picking up information.
“He’s quite right,” a’nswered the other;
“it would cost him fully that much to
find out what’s the matter with it.”
Loss From Fire.
Apart from the thousands of lives
destroyed by fire, this country sus
tains an annual loss from this cause
of at least $300,000,000.
Real Friendship.
Honest men and women esteem and
value nothing so much in this world
as a real friend. Such a one is as it
were another self, to whom we impart
our most secret thoughts, who partake
of our Joy, and comforts us in our af
fliction ; add to this, that his company
is an everlasting pleasure to us.—

What Memory Is.
The popular notion that memory is
“an association of ideas” is true.
Memory, plainly, is not only made up
of an association of ideas but also of
associated impressions living things
receive. Such associations may be
due to real and necessary connections
such as “iron bar,” or to your mental
coupling up of such as
“blue funk,” “sweet melody,” “pretty
girl.” Habitual linkage makes the im
pression firmer, the retention in mind
more durable and a more simple han
dle whereby the matter can be recalled
at will.
