The Parsons Run.

One OF the traditional stories of the
town of Fairfield, Conn, recounts n
wild dash from the pulpit made by n
worthy and beloved pastor of the Epis.
copal flock, DR.. Labaree.
1t was on Sunday more than a
hundred years ago. The service had
been read, the prayers said, the hymns
sung, and the parson began his SER
mon. AS he proceeded his gestures be-
came very energetic. He brought his
right hand down with great force.
Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit
stairs at bound. dashed out the
church door and ran toward the pond
short distance away,
The congregation followed in bewil-
dered pursuit, and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until It came to his neck. Then
turning round, he faced his astonished
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren. I am not
crazy. as no doubt many of you think
but yesterday at the drug store |
bought bottle Of nitric acid, and care
lessly left 1t in my pocket to-day.
my last gesture broke the bottle. I
knew the suffering the acid would
cause when 1t penetrated my clothing.
and rushed for the water to save NV.
self pain"
He drew several pieces of glass from
his pocket in witness of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried
home.

who want to know how he dlu It,
Lucky dog" the less successful ones
remark as they walk away. Was he
lucky? Or did he simply use little
OF the ordinary amount of brains with
which he was endowed? Where did he
get the hunch? His lucky" inspira-
tlon came from habltual, intelligent
use of brains. The lucky dog simply
put two and two together and believed
that they made four. He combined
logic with confdence-and won. The
man without the hunch Is what he Is
for two reasons. Either he is too in
dolent to put two and two together or
else after he had put them together he
was afraid that he had made mis-
take and that they made something
else besides four. A logical mind, ever
on the alert to benefit the owner, al
most without his conscious volition. Is
a product of careful training. If you
are complaining that you never have
had any lucky lunches, set yourself
now to grasp the full meaning of every
minute incident that arises in connec-
tion with each days work. DO this
every day. Do not let each day be
complete in itself. Relate each day
with its complex activities to each
other day. Soon you will discover that
some incident of to-day has a direct
bearing upon some incident of some
other day. You may be the only per-
son who has made this discovery. If
you are energetic you will use it to
your own advantage. And there you
are. Your lucky "hunch" has come.
Try 1t. Don't be envying other lucky
dogs. Make yourself an object for
envy.

1t Is to be expected that an honest
man, under oath In court or elsewhere,
VIII make an accurate statement of
what he has seen or heard? Most of
us would say yes without much hest
tation. Professor Munsterberg, the
psychologist, of Harvard University,
has no hesitation in saying no, al,
though In SO saying he impugns the
ability, not the disposition, Of wit
nesses to state the truth. The profess
sor has made known, through the me-
dium of magazine article, some facts
that may be new to many readers. His
theme Is the fallibillty of human senses
when 1t comes to stating facts accu-
rately, and his object the adoption by
courts Of justice of tests to determine
the credlbllity of witnesses. The eX-
animation Of truth has made great ad-
vancement in many directions. Physi-
ology, chemistry and other sciences
may be called into court to determine
In the most practical way, and with a
certainty that precludes doubt, long
list of questions which once had to go
unanswered. Blood tests and analyses
of viscera for traces Of poison are IL
Illustrations Of this. What the courts
do not take into account, according to
Professor Munsterberg, Is the fact that
psychology has advanced as rapidly as
other sciences, and now affords means
Of testing the power of observation of
witnesses, and consequently their truth
telling capacity, as definitely as other
sciences determine the material facts.
That Inability to relate things accurate
ly which Is here considered, Is, of
course, wholly apart from any moral
obliquity, any desire or intent to de-
celve. 1t Is not moral weakness, but
a sort Of mental color-blindness. Chill

ton of different individuals is amusing.

He thought he had observed everything
carefully, but subsequent examination
proved that his recollections were all
