of its philosophical tenets read thus
CENTER PHILOSOPHERS
Only error frowns.
Laugh long, live long
There is no fatality but fear
The minds of men want not to be led, but only to
be awakened
Truth travels oftener bad road to somewhere
than good road to,nowhere
Think not as think; ask me not to think you
think but let each think for himself till the thinking
plane is passed and identity comes through feeling
Can't myth whose real name is won't.
Foregone conclusions are the jumping off places of
progress
What boast of most is always our greatest
weakness, and. what depore as weakness be-
comes our greatest strength
Spirituality is but vitality, crowned with a con-
sciousness
The worlds greatest crime is its toleration of
fafsity, because of fasity whether conscious or
unconscious, all crime springs.

We get in this world not just what we want but
just what willing to pay for.
The things that bereave us only give us back our
soul.
Whom we know trust
Scars the trophies of the soul
Infinite achieving grows from infinite believing.
Desire is the engine of destiny, but the engineer
Prayer.
To the dler clay is refuse; to the potter clay is
opportunity.
Its better to act with ignorance than to talk with
impotence
The who both wins the worlds respect and
keeps his own has learned how to walk people
without walking on them
We exist earth, but live in a world that we
ourselves people with inmost thoughts.
The end of development is to become wholly fine,
but not whit feeble
Success is nothing more than seeing principles to

Harmony club
The Harmony club is a visionary idea. 1t is
genuine bona fde institution incorporated as
social club under the laws of the of New York
It has $500 members 1t has a central Office on the
fourteenth floor OF 80 Church street. New York It's

Happiness is an elusive quarry. The human race has

from the garden of Eden but until this year, 1902
did It any that the prospect of capture
might be greater mankind joined hands and entered
the chase in body
Jane is the month of roses and inspiration 1t was
on night last June that Edward H. Fallows founder
of the Harmony club, conceived the idea of binding
together those seekers after happiness willing,
ashamed, to avow their purpose. Edward H. Fallows
is not a poet or a mystic any of the things that
might be imputed to a man who would harbor so
chmerical an idea He is practical, bustling,
getic businessman, New York lawyer In addition
to that he holds the Office of collector of transfer
taxes for the state of New York, an important and
disagreeable Office the second largest of
nue. for the state.
IT'S A LOGICAL OUTCOME

inspiration of June nights, it be confessed that

HE FOUND HIS HURsES|
A Herald Want AID Locates Missing
Team In Abba.

9. E. Allard, who lost a valuable
team of horses on sunday, October
20, recovered the same last Sunday
through an ad in the want columns
OF the Daily Herald. The horses
were recovered at Abba. The team
either strayed or had been Stolen
from the barn, and had been missing
for over week before they were re-
covered. The team is valued at $40o
and is one of the finest teams in the
city. Mr.. Allard, going to the barn
Monday morning and finding the
horses missing, telephoned the Her
aid ordering an ad telling of the loss
and offering reward. On various
clews MI Allard worked for almost
"a week and had almost given up the
work when he received q telephone
call from Abba stating that a team
of horses had been taken up that
answered the description of those
that were advertised in the Daily Her
aid. He went to Abba at once and
recovered the horses. They were
taken up by George Seibert, OF Abba,
who turned them over to the mayor
OF that city. He would undoubtedly
have lost them had it not been for
that little ad in the Herald want col
umn. There is no limit to his praise
for the want column of the Herald.

Total

II the registration is correct, the
population of the city would be indi-
Gated as 1855, using the usual com
putting numeral, the basis of five resi-
dents for every voter.
The boards of registration claim
that there have been removals of
many persons from the city since the
general registration of 1908 of which
they have no knowledge and that in
the totals given above are names that
should be erased. The board is not
sure of these names, however, and in
cases of doubt they are left on the
registe:.
A contention exists between the
Second and the Third wards for best
registration. Third ward claims that
they have more voters than Second,
while Second ward is able to show
most registrations.
