public funds and public of The library

many attributed to him the personality of human being,
but endowed him with series of super-human attributes.
These attributes for both good and evil The good
it believed could be secured by prayers of praise the
evil avoided by prayers of Aaery and suppcaon. The
god thus worhipped regarded prayerhearing and
prayeranswerng personality and the fruage of these
prayers actually believed to be objective
Such a belief may be regarded the natural and in
evable outgrowh of mans mental babyhood The mystery
of natural phenomena could be explained in other

built Form and ceremony followed through which
the cunning and crafty reaped large profits from the
ignorant and credulous In the of time only did
the character of these gods undergo change but the
presy cult remained trade upon the fears and super
stitions of ignorance.
As advancing intelligence began exercise any influence
upon the wondering human mind many of these gods
disappeared, but they suppanted by other gods of
newer design perhaps but retaining many of the char

THE FAD FIEND.

We find a fad and follow 1t,
Convinced. you may be sure.
That we have run across at last
For every i'll q cure,
And, be 1t laying on Of hands
Or eating once a day
Or only basking In the sun.
1t carries us away.
The truth at last, the final word
That leaves no more to say,
II now securely In our grasp.
We own it. come what may.
II 1t is chewing every bite
A thousand times or so.
We know, indeed, we must be right,
Because we know we know.
And how we pity simple souls
Who have not found the light,
Who struggle in the ancient way
And cannot get things right!
And so we wash our face with bran
Or have a skimmilk feast.
Though others may in bondage be,
Our set is free at least.
And so we follow up our fad,
So happy in the find,
Until another one appears,
And then we change our mind,
And we desert the one for which
Forsworn we were to die.
From blue grass switch to breakfast
food
And never blink an eye.
