THEIR WEAK POINTS.
The Fears and Supcrstitions OF some
Famous Men.

Famous Men.
All great people have had their fol-
lies, which is another way of saying
that all have their weak points. DR..
Johnson, with all his philosophy, was
not without a superstition. He was
very careful not to enter>a room with
his left foot foremost. If by any
chance he did SO he would Immediately
step back and re-enter with his right
foot foremost. He was terribly afraid
of death, too, and would not suffer 1t
to be mentioned in his presence.
Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts of
thousands of the enemy were but sweet

to get underground to escape the dread.

girl washed up on Hastings beach and
the body taken away on a tarpaulin.
Two days later the child was knocked

passed over her. Bystanders brought

islands were for three centuries under the Norwegian
crown. But the Celtic organization was as complete
there as anywhere, and to this day if the head of the
MacLeans visits the lands of his ancestors though
he has now no possessions there, he is acclaimed as
their chief and has been presented with the three
eagles plumes which the head of clan has alone
the right to wear.
1t is right and good thing that men should
respect hereditary reputation, if unsulied in their
day by disgrace. 1t is well that the memory of
heroic ancestors should be set before their descend
ants, that they too may strive to live as lived their
fathers. 1t is folly to at any means however

men, who, however barbarous, learned through

into the field. This may seem petty force in
these days of great hosts. But in the then con-
dition of Scotland it meant considerable power.
Remember that the whole army of the Bruce, the
King of Scotland, consisted only of thirty thousand
at Bannockburn. The feudal plan by which
lands taken from enemies, belonging to the chief,
were allotted in feu perpetual tenure to his
kinsmen provided offices for the men who were
bound in consideration of their cousinhood and
tenure of land to follow their chief to the
field" Military service universal, because each
man held his place because he was willing to form
a link in the chain of defense.
The practice of use of arms was unfortunately
only too well nurtured by the constant feuds be-
tween the tribes, those especially between the Mac
Donalds and MacLeans in the Hebrides, lasting
for generations Expert at sailing their brlns
or war galleys they could invade each others
island possessions The horrors of these wars were
hideous. The MacDonalds burned barn in Lorne
full of women and children. They themselves were
consequently refused quarter by the troops under
General Lesley. 1t is remarkable how the clan

Nor is it easy to find Stewart who did not take
the part of his royal knsfolk Even now when Mac

writers are keen partisans for the men of
their name Blood may have been mixed with
other strains for generations but the name is enough
1t is not however, a mere cry to say " of the same

curious fidelity the lineaments of race, almost

divergence between his precepts and his practices
which has resulted in the muddle-mindedness that
is apparent in all that he undertakes.
In nothing is the muddle-mndedness of man
more obvious than in his favorite pronouncenents
with regard to his destiny. He insists that
man was made for misery as surely as that the
sparks fly upward. He takes Jobs word for that

is to be in tears. Laugh

at least relaxes the ten
sion. Laughter is an
anodyne, harmful if per-
sisted in out of season,
but good on occasion as a

it does not result from

All the evidence is
against the morbid-mind-
ed who assert that we are
not made to be happy.
Moments of misery we
are certainly destined to
have, but the constitu-
ton of the normal healthy
human being makes for
happiness inevitably. The
strongest bent of our
nature is to enjoy our
selves and avoid suffer-
ing; and every healthy
function of mind and
body helps the endeavor.
The great pleasures of
life may be rare, but
there is a fine variety of
minor pleasures which we
might enjoy in our time;
and the effect of these
is cumulative, so that
in the aggregate they
should make up a happy
life.

teaches that there are
two great laws of life,
the law of good and the
law of evil. He has no
illusions on the subject
of right and wrong. He
knows that right-doing
makes for happiness and
wrong-doing makes for
misery; yet he has so
ordered the world that

NO MORE PASSES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Not Heed Protest of Pub
fishers Regarding Ruling.
TRANSPORTATION IS CASH
Facilities of Public Carrier Not
Private Property Nor Subject to
Bargain and Sale Like
Merchandise.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Under a .ul-
ing of the interstate commerce COM
mission, transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
paper publishers or editors in ex-
change for advertising space.
A protest against this ruling has
been received from the Massachu-
sets Press association, which says
that the association unanimously
voted to "enter its protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation
at full rates in advertising shall be
treated on any other basis than that
of transportation paid for in cash.
In response to the protest, Chair
man Knapp, of the commission, says
in part:
"You are aware, of course, that all
tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name rates in
dollors and cents, and do not in any
case provide that transportation can
be paid for with property. 1t seems
plain to the commission that the law
above quoted coupled with the fact
stated permits payment for services
of interstate carriers only in money
"a contrary rule would sanction
unequal compensation by different
persons and involve ordinarily some
degree of discrimination in favor of
those permitted to exchange their
commodities for the transportation
they desire or secure. 1t is the ain
of the law to prevent every sort OF
favoritism and secure absolute equal
ity of treatment in all cases.
"This ruling of the commission in
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights Of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space
may be freely exchanged for any spe-
cies of property upon such terms as
may be acceptable to the parties to
the transaction. But the facilities OF
the public carrier are not private
property, nor are they subject to
bargain and sale like merchandise
The right to travel or have property
carried by rail, like the right to the
common highway, Is not contract
right, but political right, the very
essence Of which is equality.
"Conceding that the advertising ar
rangements in question are ordinari
ly made and carried out In goot
faith, 1t seems plain to me that these
arrangements must involve some
measures of discrimination and 1t II
not easy for me to see how an homes
newspaper can seriously object t
ruling of the commission which ap
pears to be in obvious accord will
