The Tragedy of Getting Square"

) What an awful price people
pay for the determination to "get
square" with those they fancy
have injured theml No matter
what others do to us, every bit OF
retaliation, every bitof injury we
do to them, every blow intended
for another really wounds our
selves.
A bitter revengeful thought IS
a boomerang which is hurled
back to the thrower. 1t is inn
possible to iniure another either
in thought or in deed without
receiving the blow ourselves.
What a terrible price people
pay for this revenge-a price
which often staggers their adj
vancement, kills their efficiency,
ruins their characters.
have known people to carry
for years feelings of bitter hat
red and revenge for a fancied
wrong, to hold a revengeful de-
termination to get square"
with those who injured them
until their whole characters we're
so changed that they became al
most inhuman.
No one can carry a grudge
against another, a hatred thought
revengeful determination, de-
sire to iniure others, without a
fatal deterioration of the charac-
ter as we'll as serious impair

his happiness. People little re-
alize what they do when they
harbor these bappiness-destroy-
ing, success-killing thoughts to-
ward others. Such feelings kill
spontaneity, blight the character
and stifle self expression.
No one can do his best work
while he harbors revengeful or
even unfrlendly thoughts toward
others. Our faculties only give
up their best when working in
perfect harmony. There must
be goodwill in the heart or we
can do no good work with the
head.
Hatred, revenge, and jealousy
are rank poisons, as fatal to al
that is noblest in us as arsenic
is fatal to the physical life.
Just think how unmanly it is
to be waiting for an opportunity
to injure another, or to get

A RAIN OF FIRE.
The Great Mstsorie Shower That
Scared Folks In 1888.

SS&F0d TWINS III toS1s
In Scharf's chronicles of Baltimore
there is a vivid description Of the star.
ry hailstorm, the fiery meteoric show
er, Of 1888, and old files of newspapers
are made luminous at that date with
the impressions of editors and contrib
utors. One writer said it was the
grandest and most charming sight ever
presented to the vision Of man. Awak-
ened from sleep, he sprang to the win
dow, thinking the house was on fire,
but when he looked out he beheld
stars, or fiery bodies, descending like
torrents" The shed "in the adjoin-
ing yard to my own" he wrote, was
covered with stars, as l supposed, dur
ing the whole time" Professor Ohm
stead Of Yale college thought that the
exhibition was the finest display of
celestial fireworks that had been wit
messed since the creation Of the world,
although he, too, while knowing its
character, was sufficiently imbued
with the theological spirit of the time
to believe that it was a solemn portent
that carried a divine warning.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was probably more quoted
than any other he ever made said:
I'VE pronounce the raining fire which
we saw ON Wednesday morning al
awful type. a f~orerunner, a merciful
sign. of that great and dreadful day
which the inhabitants Of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opened. Many things occurring in the
earth tend to convince US that we are
now In the latter days"

The Practical Goat.

M. Jules Renard was the mayor Of
Corbigny, In the Nievre. Every Sun
day he contributed to the Journal de
Ciamecy, and this is the sort Of things
he used to give the peasants. Writing
of the Journal Oficiei, posted up on
the wall of the marie and which no
one ever reads, he said:
Il had forgotten the goats. One Of
them never misses a number. Standing
on Its hind legs. with its front legs
resting on the poster, 1t moves Its
horns and beard from right to left.
like an old woman reading. When 1t
has finished reading. as the official
sheet has an appetizing smell of fresh
paste, the goat eats 1t. After nourish-
ing the mind one must feed the body.
Thus nothing Is lost In the commune.
What a pity that all novel readers
have not the stomach of this practical
goat. They might then eat the books
they had read. buy more. and SO the
mar of letters would In the end be
able to eat in his turn."-Paris Letter

The State of tho Mind Has q Direct
Effect Upon -ths Body.
A good deal is said in these days
about the effect OF mind on matter in
the way of the cure OF disease, but
less is heard about mental influences
as a cause of bodily Ills, yet 1t Is an
old truth that the state of mind has a
direct effect on the body. The gloom
and depression caused by worry and
anxiety create a morbid condition of
the physical system. 1t is impossible
to feel we'll physically when the mind
and spirits are downeast. The blood
does not circulate properly, appetite
fails, the head aches, and IL these NOR
bid conditions continue more deep
seated ailments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be n of them.
With many persons O. fit of anger is
followed by an attack of indigestion.
Excitement destroys/the appetite, bad
news creates nausea, fright muses.
faintness, and so or. Violent or de-
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium of body and mind alike.
This being the case, 1t is Inevitable
that when these emotions often recur
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les
son Is, then, that mental serenity tends
to health-is, In fact, an essential
element of health-and that instead of
resorting to mind cures" after the
health is broken 1t is wise to preserve
the serenity as a preventive and safe
guard against disease. indianapolis

ASK MENTAL
EXAMINATION
FOR SLAYER

District Attorney Samuel H. Evins.
of Richmond County, has asked Gov
ernor Hughes to appoint a commits
sion to examine into the mental con-
dition of John Bell, who has been
confined in Sing Sing under sentence
of death for more than three years.
He applies for the appointment of a
commission under the special act of
the legislature passed for the pur-
pose last May to examine the condi-
ton of Bell. Bell was convicted In
May, 1907, for the murder of DIR.
Charles Wilmot Townsend, of New
Brighton, and sentenced to be cleo
trocuted. His counsel, F. G.. Multi
gan, filed notice of appeal and owing
to r remarkable series of delays 1t
has not yet reached the court of APP
peals. Since then the discovery has
been made that Bell had gone mad
while waiting and while no law
could be found to legalize an inquiry
as to the sanity of a condemned man
there was a Discrimination to put to
death a man who was insane. Con-
%sequently a special act had to be
passed and IL Bell is now proved to
be insane he will escape the chair
by confinement In a state hospital.

Jenkin Lloyd Jones-the Greatest
Democrat In the Democratic

William Kent contributes an ar
ticle to the July American Magazine
about Jenkin Lloyd Jones, the great
preacher of Chicago. Says Mr.. Kent:

he would join It.. This vas the
church that Jenkin Lloyd conceived
to the great Illinoisan, this com

it's individuality and activities, and
within 1t also live the activities that
are usually conducted in the settle

SUM, manual training, domestic
science classes, reading room, IL
braries, lecture courses, study classes
in religion, literature, citizenship.
etc.,-a social, civic and religious
center on the Boulevard.
"Jenkin Lloyd Jones has had the
dynamic energy to pillow a furrow so
wide that it would have stalled a
less powerful engine. He has dem
OllStldltu Ludt an
church can be reverent, religious,
permanent and socially useful in the
highest degree: that such a church
is the home of civics and the hand
maiden of the State. Just as In the
Great Parliament of Religions in
Chicago In 1893 he and his col
leagues proved the fallacy of the
lines dividing the faiths, so, in In
Vulnerable public service to his city
