To the Editor of the Times:
In the Times recently l was in
terested In letter signed by A.
Hoover. He says he is a seeker
after knowledge. ! believe Broth
er Hoover, that, more or less, we
are all seeking after knowledge.
But the trouble with the human
being is they do not seek it where
1t is to be found. Solomon, the
wise man. pointed out the way for
us. Seeking after God," he said,
lis the beginning of wisdom"
Now, Brother Hoover, these
questions that you ask are as old
as the world, and 1t is not neces-
sary to have any churchman or
statesman to answer them. Our
good old bible will do that for you.
BY watching little children
playing we see the same law gov
erning them In their play. They
may have no medium of exchange
to play with. but still the quarrel
and fight over the possession OF
their playthings. SO l do not be-
lieve any system invented by man
will change mans nature.
You are right when you say you
might as well try to make water
run uphill as to make man &c
contrary to nature.
But now then. does not some
thing happen every day that makes
water run uphill in spite of gray.
Hy7 You know that the power
of the sun will change the water
Into papor and draws Ii up into
heaven. Here you have the soIu,,
'tion also Tor mans nature; hen

Lord southex,s euiIlotins.

The most eccentric action of an ec- centric man was Lord Southey's cool arrangement for suicide by means of a guillotine. He had a magnificent one erected in the drawing room of his house in the Rue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony in- laid with gold and silver, the frame work carved with artistic skill; the knife, sharp as razor, was of polished and Ornamented steel. Preparing for death, his lordship had his hair cut close, and. clothed in a robe of white silk, he kneeled upon the platform un- der the knife before a mirror and pressed the spring which should re- lease the knife. But the spring failed to work, and the would be suicide de- cided to give the guillotine to a mu- scum instead of making a second att tempt to end his life. 1t is said that he made an annual pilgrimage to- see the guillOtine until the end of his life.
