yet mastered what Harriet BeeCheT Stowe caUs one i the mOt 1mport-

is, and to let other peoples alone?'
When we were out driving the other day, our horse became fright
ened and bore down upon a erossroad at a most undesirable smart pace.
Just as we reached the crossing, another carriage doomed up in front of
US and although g pulled in a hard as we could it looked for al instant
as if something were going to happen. Fortunately, the other man
whipped up his horse and got past in time to avoid a collision.
Didn't you think we were going to run into them?" I said after
wards.

man did his part W would be all right. and I thought he would. l be-
Ieye in n OF trying tt do the whole thing, but in giving the other fellow
credit for having sense, as well as you"
1t seems to me that that is a philosophy which is too little regarded
by many travellers o the Kings Highway.
We feel that the whole responsibility of avoiding a collision rests o n
our handling of the rens, while all the time the other fellow is doing
just as much to avoid it.
We feel the burden Of whole situations upon u.s., while in reality we
are only responsible for some tiny corner of the business.
We insist on thrusung u shoulders beneath other folks respon-
binties, even though in so doing we do not help at all, but merely VI"
ourselves and hinder and impede them.
If only we could throw off this foolish weight of other peoples
sponstbiHties that W e are struggling under, how many of US might thr
back our shoulders and lift up our heads and breathe freely once moreI
Can't we?
Cant we relax from the strain ofa all the little cares and worries, lest
things go wrong in spite of US, and from the fear that something will
happen in this old world if we let go? Can't we quietly listen and rest
in that great big question that God asks US a. He asked Job, =" Where
vast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?"

From List of Three to Try

MARION, Ind. Sept Judge H.
j. Paulus, at the opening of the Sep
TENDER term of the Grant circuit court,
side of the wet" and dry" controver-
sy of Marion is to strike one name,
the third judge to hear the appealed
cases for liquor licenses in the cir
cult court. The names selected are
those of John +. LaFollette and John
NJ. Smith, ex-judges of the Jay circuit
court and Leroy J. Nash, present
judge OF the Upton circuit court. Each
side will have two days in which to
strike the names from the list.
The Marion liquor cases consist OF
twenty-one applications for licenses to
retail liquor and two applications for
wholesalers license in Marion, all ap-
pealed fro mthe decision of the coun-
ty commissioner. who refused last
June to grant the licenses.
In naming the special judges. Judge
Paulus said that he had considered
many names and had conducted an ex-
tensive correspondence, but the three
men selected were all he found availa'
BILE. Among those sought to try the
cases were judges Frank Roby and
Vincent Carter of indianapolis.
When the "wets" won ON the appeal
from the commissioners decision in
declaring the election of Marion dry
Judge Paulus regarded that his de-
cision in that controversy disquaii
fled him from hearing the liquor IL
cense applications appealed to his
court; hence the plan for naming a
special judge. The election commits
sioners found that Marion had cast a
in the local option election of Febru

sioners have refused to recognize the
result of the election.

MASSAGEO HIS HEART
Injured Man Kept Alive by
Surgeon in This Way.

COLUMBUS. Ind. Sept 7.-"Heart
massage last resort of surgeons,
was used in the city hospital here to
keep Roscoe Irwin of this city, alive
after he had been slashed across the
abdomen. Alonzo Nanordel. a livery
stable porter, is in Jail charged with
the cutting. but he denies his guilt.
Irwin is in a critical condition. and it
is thought his wounds will prove IA
tai.
The injured man, faint from the loss
of blood, was taken to the city hospi-
tai. The cash in his abdomen was so
wide and deep that when il seemed
he was all but dead the surgeon in
charge thrust his hand in the cavity
and produced artificial respiration by
what surgeons term heart massage
They do not actually touch the heart,
but work it through the diaphragm In
this heroic manner Twins life was
saved at least for the time being. and
thirty-nine stitches were taken to
close the wound.

CONSERVATION or
EYES AND TEETH
OF School Children Will Be
Undertaken by Roy Hor-
ton of 7. M. G.. A.

Roy Horton, director of physical
education in the public schools. an
nounces that he is planning cam
paign this year to take better care of
the eyes, ears, noses, and teeth of
the Richmond school children. He
says people in this city are very negli-
gent of the attention their bodies re-
ceive, and ne wants TO start move
ment which will make them realize the
results of their carelessness.
Although some trouble is experience
ed in convincing people that their
teeth need a little attention, Mr.. Hor-
ton says the hardest work will be to
convince the public that the eyes
should receive proper care. He says
that. there are many children in the
schools who do not know they have
weak eyes, and that many lose their
sight, or at least impair it, through
ignorance of the condition of their
eyes. He adds that whereas one can
buy set of new teeth, one can have
only one set of eyes in a lifetime, and
that therefore the latter are in need
OF more immediate attention.
Mr.. Horton has put in his order for
a supply of charts and examination
blanks, and is going to start the work
just as soon as the schools open. With
the aid of his two assistants, he hopes
to be able to hold examinations in
every school in the city at least twice
a year. The first schools to be visit
ed, according to his plans, are the Gar
| field and high schools.

BRYAN ADVISES TO

'Disagrees with Leaders of

"Mr. Bryan. Congressman Under

incident That Fastened the Success OF
Telephones In England.
Following the establishment on a
solid basis of the American telephone
system, work for European exploitation
was early begun. The results were
hardly encouraging.
Five-eighths of the British rights
were purchased for $500 by a Provi
dence man, says the National Maya
zine. After working in London foul
months he could not find any one who
would put a shilling in the telephone.
An English review said of it: 1.-THE
telephone is little better than q toy
1t amuses the English. but is inferior
to the well established system of ali
tubes"
The victory was won at last by Kat'
Field, who sang 'Kathleen Mavour
neen" over the telephone to Queer
Victoria. The queen was delighted
asked Bell If she might buy two tele
phones, and 1t was not long before
all England was Interested. An ex

Vail sent an order to the factory IL

Simple Home Remedy
For Wrinkled Faces
From Fashion Monthly

Thousands of women are spending
fortunes in their frantic efforts to re-
move the signs of premature age from
their faces. When in this state of
mind a woman will spend almost any
amount of money on worthless wrinkle
removers, of which there are many.
If these women only knew it, the
most effective remedy imaginable is a
simple, harmless face wash which can
be made up at home in less than a
minute. They have only to get an
ounce of powdered saxolite and half
a pint of witch hazel at the drug
store and mix the two. Apply this
daily as refreshing lotion. The eff.
feet is almost magical. Even after the
first treatment a marked improvement
is noticed and the face has SNUG,
firm feeling that is most pleasing.
