OPPORTUNITY

In a recent statement Mr.. Henry
Watterson said in effect that il ne
believed the democratic party were
merely an opportunist he would not
concern himself about the future.
If the democratic party were Prop
erly devoted to oppOrtunism It would
be worthy of every mans concern
and it would be likely to meet the
full measure of its possibilities as
party of opposition.
It is a mistake to identify oppor-
tunism with insincerity or demagogy'
In the political as well as in the bus
mess and social life of a free coun-
try much depends upon opportunity.
Some of our greatest men have been
opportunists. Some of our most no.
table achievements have resulted
from enlightened OppOrtunism.
In war and in peace Washington
was an opportunist. 1t was oppor-
tunism in Jefferson which devoted to
freedom forever the vast domain in
cluded in the Louisiana purchase. 1t
was opportunism in Lincoln which
eventually gave liberty to the slave.
The statesman who awaits opportun-
fty who consults opportunity, and
who seizes opportunity is the one
who writes his name high on the rec
ords Of achievements.
One of the most serious indictments
that can be lodged against the demo
cratic party is the fact that it is not
oppOrtunist. When it is not inert
and unrespOnsive it is hopelessly at
war with itself. 1t does not meet Oc-
casiOn. 1t does not rise to OppOrtun-
ity. It is not a true opposition.
Every democrat in a responsible
place should be an Opportunist, ca
ger to detect weak places in the rul-
ing party's lines and quick to take ad-
vantage in behalf of the people Of ev-
cry chance that is offered for public
service and national progressively

Not Afraid of a Ghost.

In village in England. month or
so ago, man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was a ghost in his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was a person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, girl
of II. Some of the men followed her
at a distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms. about, and discovered-what?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt tapping on the
clothes line in strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out. 4

hated him, including Van, who said
that he was a common nuisance and if
'twa'n't for his promise to Agnes he'd
abate him with shotgun.
One day Eureka comes out on the

'Mr. Van Brunt, would you and Mr..

Hartley didn't say nothing. He
never spoke to old man Sparrow now

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, ETC., which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate of potash, Of which Grape-Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That Is why SO
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts true nerve
and brain food.
Il can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve renew

 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in flammation, alteration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but trifle to try it, and the result is worth mil. lions to many suffering women.
