She rested now, frankly and fairly,
in the shelter of his arms, and both
were oblivious to the gale that rushed
past them in quicker and stronger
blasts. The big downpour OF rain had
not yet come, but the mist-like squalls
were more frequent. Daylight was
openly perplexed. and he was still per

Then was the moment. among the
trees. ere they began the descent OF

drawn her closely to him and kissed
her once. But he was too perplexed
with the new thoughts she had put
into his head to take advantage Of the
situation. He merely caught her by
the arm and helped her over the
rougher footing, At the edge OF the
grove he suggested that 1t might be
better for them to part there, but she
insisted that he accompany her as far

facts as stated. might be true. but
truth alone Is not sufficient either In

of flying leaves enveioped them. and
hard on the heel of the wind came
driving drops of rain. He looked down
on her and on her hair. wind.blown
about her face: and because Of her
closeness to him and Of a fresher and
more poignant realization of what she
meant to him, he trembled so that she
was aware Of 1t in the hand that held
hers. She suddenly leaned against
him, bowling her head until it rested
lightly upon his breast. And so they
stood while another squall. with flying
leaves and scattered drops Of rain,

she lifted her head and looked at him.

Anarchy and Work,

GARNER, the Paris auto bandit and
anarchist, who recently killed himself
after being wounded by the police.
left a diary. In it he admitted that he
was an anarchist because he hated
work. He called it lone of the forms
of %capitalistic exploitation" This is
refreshingly frank. Possibly other
bandits and anarchists would say the
same thing if they analysed their own
motives and admitted the truth.
The hatred of work makes grouches
of some people, shirks of others.
tramps of many, anarchists of a. few,
rebels Of Il number and self styled
slaves of a multitude more. The fear
to admit this distaste FOR physical ex-
ertion also makes hypocrites of many
who pretend that they love to work.
Yet philosophers generally agree that
the really happy man is the man at
work. Thomas A. Edison even goes so
far as to say that modern men are
happier than modern women because
they work more. AS Edison is reputed
to work so hard hat he often forgets
to eat or sleep, he should speak with
authority. Concerning the other phi
losophers, however-well, it is easy to
philosophize about the labor of other
people.
Speaking of anarchists, the tarring
and feathering of Ben Reitman at San
Diego brings up a suggestive point.
The anarchists, of course, would re-
move all governmental authority.
That would open the way to universal
mob law. Yet it was at the hands of
the mob that Reitman suffered. The
San Diego mob acted in a purely an
archistic way. Reitman's anarchy is
theory: that of the mob was practice.
It looks like a case of poetic justice.
He was hoist on his own petard.

1t is an mite. esti:i- fact that June
Is. the opening tiay Of the Republican
national convention. is the anniversary
of the battle OF Waterloo and is the
centenary OF the beginning of the war
of 1912. One of the battles of that
war was fought at Fort Dearborn,
where Chicago now stands.
The Democratic convention Of one
week later is the first national conven-
ton held in Baltimore in forty years.
Yet in the old days Baltimore was as
much the convention city as Chicago
is now. Eight Democratic conventions
were held there and four presidents
Of that faith-Jackson. Van Buren,.
Polk and ~Pierce-were named there.
Among the unsuccessful Democratic
candidates chosen in the Maryland
metropolis were Stephen A. Douglas
and Horace Greeley. Among the oppo-
sition nominees chosen in Baltimore
were Henry Clay. Winfield Scott and
Abraham Lincoln the second time.
1t is certain that 1.-The Star Span
gled Banner will be played at Balti-
more. and very appropriately, for it
was written in that city during this
same war of 1912. 1t is also safe to
say that Maryland, My Maryland"
will be discoursed by every Demo-
cratic band visiting the convention.
This is the third consecutive Repub-
lican national convention held in Chi
cago and the eighth in that city since
the founding of the party. Three Of
the fifteen Republican national o
ventions have met in Philadelphia and
one each in Baltimore, Cincinnati.
Minneapolis and St. Louis. At the
these conventions will thus have met
in Chicago than in all other cities com-
bined. The Republican presidents nom
mated in Chicago were Lincoln the
first time), Grant the first time), Gar
field. Harrison. Roosevelt and Taft.
The only unsuccessful Republican al
didate named in Chicago was Blaine
in 1884.
The representation in both conven-
tons this year will be larger than ever
before, 1,O7G in the Republican and
1902 in the Democratic. This is the
first time they ever passed the thou
sand mark. They will be the first con-
ventions held since all the available
national territory has been carved
into states.
The Republicans meet in the Coli
scum. in which several other conven-
tons have been held. including that
which nominated Taft in 1908. The
Democrats meet in the Fifth Regiment
armory in Baltimore.
AS to who the nominees will be-
we'll. this is an article of statistics,
not of prophecy.

~ OoS
A foot race is the latest form the
duello has taken in France. He who
is feetest of foot is most honorable.
Henri Desgrange, of a sporting news
paper, and M. Gentil, a bicycle manu-
facturer, recently agreed to run three
races around the Bots de Boulogne, a
distance of about eight miles, to settle
a point of honor. To a man not accus-
toned to the sport an eight mile race,
or, rather, a twenty-four mile race in
three heats, should prove rather more
dangerous than the average French
duel, which usually results in a scratch
or flesh wound.
AS for honor, there is no reason why
a. speed test should not satisfy it as
fully as a sham sword play. 1t is even
more ancient, for it is probable that
men ran away from a fight ages be-
fore swords were invented. Of course
the man who is chased is not supposed
to be quite as much up in the matter
of honor as the chaser, but that is be-
side the point. The French foot race
duel may suggest this ancient and
time honored method of fight, but is
not prompted by the vulgar sentiment
of the couplet,
He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day,
being a race for honor and not for life.
In this country we do not fight duels
any more. Even the good old way Of
knocking down the man who insults
us is going out of fashion. Rather, we
abuse each other in the newspapers.
Perhaps the foot race for honor would
be an improvement even on this
method. 1t would only weary the par
Elephants, while the newspaper method
wearies everybody else.

The Power of Thought.

Mind cure. faith cure, psycho-ther-
apy or whatever other name it may
be called is no new thing in this age.
1t is believed in by thousands and has
become almost a commonplace. Yet
now and then some pleasant little
story from those outside of any Of the
cults who preach OF practice this form
of healing is chronicled in the press.
Here is one concerning j. Sterling
Morton, son of Joy Martin, the Chicago
railroad man. grandson of j. Sterling
Morton, once secretary Of agriculture
and founder of Arbor day. and nephew
of Paul Morton, Roosevelts secretary
of the navy and later president Of the
Equitable Life.
Young Mr.. Morton was suffering
from an attack of typhoid fever and
was under the care of regular physi-
clans. Several times he was near
death. Word was passed to hundreds
of his loyal friends to think health for
him. His recovery was thus spoken Of
by his father:
1--WE could not let him go. We made
up our minds that we could defy
death and we did. and now we have
won. We passed the word to our
friends. We asked them to think life
and health to Sterling, and they did"
Al intimate friend of the Morton
family explained in detail how the I'M
usual psychological experiment was
carried out.
There seemed nc hope for MI. Nor
toms recovery" she said, and yet his
father and wife refused to despair.
Their sublime faith inspired a like
feeling in the hearts of their friends
and relatives. and the word was
passed, Think health to Sterling Nor
ton At night before going to bed, on
walking in the middle of the day. at
all times and places, we thought and
hoped"
Think health to your friends, for
optimistic, constructive thinking does
good to the thinker and possibly to
others. Who knows? The man who
has a bevy of friends thinking good
for him lives within a charmed circle.
