deal more thought of men's obligations. Green
idealism makes more woe in the world than gren
apples. Just now the world is about doubled up wi ;h
it. The essential facts of green idealism come out in
a intoxicated desire to tell other people their
rights, while we forget to tell ourselves our obliga-
I tions.
The world has been so drunk with moral claims
that nobody is paying moral debts. Looking each

"To get, give, To have, earn. Let's play fifty-fifty."
We do not believe the individuals in the world
can be rearranged into a new pattern and by such
hocus-pocus show much improvement or enjoy more
happiness. We ,fear there are no short cuts in
progress: The man who goes searching in history
for ideahsts who ever got anywhere is stumped to
find any who offered a cure-all. Two, at least, did
get somewhere. Both were interested solely in
teaching men to improve individually. They saw
that this is the key to a better world--the only key.

Higher by two actaves than the
voice of Tetrazzini is the voice of
Charles Crawford Gorst. who reaches
even an altitude greater than that
of the hummingbird in those imita-
tions of bird song which are an in-
teresting feature of the lecture he
will give on Monday, December 6th
at the Lyric theatre, Shelton. Tickets
may be reserved at Hotel Shelton
beginning Saturday, December 4th.
Mr. Gorst is first of all a lover
and student of bird.. At the age of
eight he began ¢o imitate bird songs.
At eleven he had evolved a method
neither whistling or singing but pro-
ducing the notes in the mouth and
varying them with lips, tongue,
throat and diaphram bv which he has
deceived even mother birds into
bringing him worms in answer to the
food cry of the'Jr young.
1 He is a well knoxm autloritv on
l birds and bird life and illustrates his
[happy talk on man's feathered
]friends. ,:'The insect eating birds,"
he says, alone stand between man-
kind and stmwation." He illustrates
with paintings of the birds and re-
productions of about 60 bird songs.
Other musical artists have insured
their hands. Mr. Gorst has had a
dental surgeon make an accurate
plaster cast of his upper and lower
jaws so that in case of injury to his
teeth they can be accurately repro-
duced, that further bird-singing will

demand was made for the city's con-

was not a fact that Tilden was in
reality the principal in forcing the
suit in Mason County. This was de-

city.
