The most OF us go through life
without making any mark or attract
ing my attention even in the little
world of cur circumscribed environ

individuality, that something un-
common in us that looms up out OF
tho dead level Of the surrounding
medium of sameness and mediocrity
is as scarce an article as q gem in the

strong family likeness that personality
is completely swallowed up in the
dull, dead sameness that surrounds
us. We seem to be relegated to the
bondage of u stagnant, unprogressive
conventionOlity, and become passive
nonentities in this cage Of driveling
inaction, and blind, submissive faith
to orthodox, absolute dogmatisms.
There is such a sameness between us
that there is no more dissimilitude
existing than there is in a flock Of
SouthdOwn sheep, and our individu-
atty is such that we can be led by the
nose by any crooked horned old ram
that takes the first leap. We lead
simply a bread-and-butter existence,
with no more thought or ambition To
emerge therefrOm than tho Esquimo
