SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

When a business man, walking brisk
ly along Broadway in the heart of the
day was seen to stop short In his
hurry and kick at an inoffensNe ba-
mana peeling, lying on the sidewalk,
his best friend paused to observe the
performance. The business man
made several Intellectual kicks at the
peeling before he succeeded in shuffl-
ing it into the gutter, and then he
stopped and picked it up and carried
II to a nearby waste paper box.
Having done this he looked around
with some appearance of self-con-
sciousness and spied his friend look
ing on.
Couldn't help II J" he explained
briskly. habit. When / was little
tad, my school teacher organized US
into a Banana Peeling club" NJ
we didn't meet around at one anoth
er's homes and peel bananas; WI
threw every banana peeling we found
on the sidewalk into the street, and
thus perhaps saved lives. 1t has be
come a matter OF conscience with me
have walked back half square
sometimes to kick one of the side
walk; because the fear haunted me
that someone might fall and injure
himself as the result of my negli-
gence. Now, | am schooling myself
TO throw such things into the waste
boxes. We didn't have waste boxes
when | went to school,"
81 certainly shall see that you are
enrolled as an honorary member of
the Civics club" assured his friends,
as they parted.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

An interesting political sidelight ap-
peared in the trial of the Coopers for
killing Hon. Ed Carmack at Nash
Vile, when a letter from Carmack to
Cooper was read, including a COM
ment of the then senator on the ma
tional Republican organization. He
said The didoRot know how the situa-
ton . would n eventuate; Roosevelt
seemed bent on bringing predatory
interests to bar, and in that he was
antagonizlng a powerful element in
his own national party. Carmack
thought it wise for the Democrats in
congress TO support the president in
his good work in the hope of split
ting the party. He foresaw the strug-
gle which preceded the last national
Republican convention, and concluded
his letter with these words: ''If Roose
welt wins, we lose; but II he loses we
should be able to gain some advant-
age"
That was the opinion OF an un-
biased, competent. critic. He saw
that, failing to overcome the influence
OF Roosevelt in national affairs dur
ing his incumbency, the reactionary
element would turn its attention to
the selection of his successor, and
Senator Carmack believed that the
people would support the position Of
President Roosevelt. and vote the
Democratic ticket IN the event Roose-
.,o1t I~-t - fororfo~ Al bfc
struggle to perpehnaRe his isreform
policy through aHoiHepo administra-
ton.
Roosevelt won" as Senator Car
mack suggested. and the Democrats
lost: but had Taft been defeated
for the nomination by some reaction
airy candidate. who knows but what
II might have been a Democratic in
auguration March 4. next?

, No Increase i'm Force.

No increase in the force OF the IL
linois Central railroad shops was
made this morning, although il has
been customary for the railroads TO
Increase the force in every depart
ment March 1. A. H. Egan, superin-
tendent of the Louisville division, was
in the city Saturday. but he declined
to say when he thought an increase
will be made. With the present force
the railroad has been able to keep
sufficient cars on the road to maui
the freight, and until the business on
the road picks up the local officials
do not anticipate an increase In the
shops. The failure to increase the
force this morning was not surprise
to the railroad men. although they
we're eager to glance at the bulletin
boards this morning.

season of special religious zeal. But
there is a vital difference between lent
and the seasons of revivals,-the lat
ter are an obvious effort to get, men
and women into the church,-the
former an attempt to get the church
into men and women. The two things
are not antagonistic. but supplement-
al. appealing to two distinct classes of
people. A revival Is intended to stir
up and awaken the spiritual life in
the lives of those who are to large
extent at least outside the pale OF the
|church,-lent is to requicken the
spirit in the lives of those who are in
tho church, but who are also OF ne
cessity in the world, and such COM
ing apart is demanded by human ma
ture and human conditions, as we
find them to actually exist. not to
conditions and nature as IT ought TO
exist theoretically. condition not

Some Lenten Thoughts.
The observance of anniversaries
seems to be distinctive to the human
heart. The great days of our life. of
Joy or sorrow, are forever days set
apart for us. Thus, too. the early
Christians used to assemble them
selves together on the first day of the
week.-our Sunday--in memory OF
the joyful fact OF their Lords resur-
rection on that day. But they could
not forget that the Joy of His resur-
rection was OF necessity preceded by
the gloom of His passion. Thus, little
by little, as we read In the extant
writings of those early days the Gus
tom arose of keeping a fast in men,
DRY Of the passion and death of Christ,
Immediately preceding the observance
Of the festival of His rising. For a
long time the method of this observ-
ance. and the time of its extent, varied
in different places and times. But
| the practice of such an observance
very early became well-nigh univer-
sal
But from practical experience, II
was found that that which was at first
observed from a reverential motive
In honor of their Lord, had become
to the observers themselves a marvel
Gus help. So what was first almost
sentimental, became at last wholly
utilitarian. Lent Is kept today, moi
because II is a beautiful tradition OF
the early days Of Christianity. but be
cause the human heart demands some
such help,--a time OF spiritual taking
OF breath, balancing of accounts
grasping after a larger vision. The.
oretically all the year should be a
lent. OF course 1t ought. But no ono
believes that all the year is lent
We are facing a fact not a theory.
