sibdigelee J Carstai rs Rye was a favorite whiskey when Scott, Dickens and Thackeray were ‘popular modern authors.” These authors by reason of age and merit are to-day classics among English writers. For the samereason“*Carstairs” is a classic among American whiskics, A blend of the finest Old Adages Disproved Love Is Not Blind. AN anything be more absurd than to state that love is blind? Love, it is true, often shuts its eyes and sees only those things that it wants to see. Is this not perfect evidence of far-sightedness? In truth, everybody else but love is blind. When two peo- ple of opposite tendencies fall in love with each other the world looks on and marvels. “ What can they see in each other?” says the world. They Iways see what the world cannot see. Love ignores the visible, but has a keener gaze than is given to ordinary people. For love sees the invisible. Love blind! Have you ever been loved? Then you know that love has seen things in you which even you yourself never knew before were there!

H. Barsaven, Pood Expert, Dept. 1-H, Washington, D. C. Too Bad! Some fit punishment ought to be meted out to Dr. Goring, the English medical officer, who, after a long statistical investigation, has had the audacity to announce that criminals are just like other people, the only difference being one of degree. We have been taught by Lombroso and other great authorities that all criminals are a class apart, and we have come to believe this so hard that the moment a man is shown to be criminal we segregate him with other criminals, and build around him machinery which prevents him ever from being anything else than a criminal—even if such a thing were possible. A man may be a human being to-day with all the emotions, the sentiments, the cravings and the human nature which goes with a human being, but when twelve jury- men have, between drinks and cigars, declared him a criminal, he is then no longer a human being—he becomes a hunted and despised wretch, to whom any attribute of ordinary human nature is denied. That Dr. Goring should attempt to show that criminals are human beings just like others is, of course, a wicked proceeding. If his conclusions should be found correct, a large part of those who have been adjudged criminals might be redeemed and brought ‘back to the level of human beings. Think of the hard-working jailers, with their families, who would thus be thrown out of employment! This girl costs you nothing but a two-cent stamp Miniature L ife Is now ready for mailing.
