ADJUSTMENT.

A great misfortune comes to you.
Like most misfortunes, it comes un-
expectedly
The unexpected happens to us all.
Because unforeseen the jolt is severe
Surprise mingles with suffering. Such
things may happen to others, of course.
But to you? That's different! Why,
this is monstrous. You say you cannot
endure the affection
| And yet
In the very hour your soul rises to
the emergency and you begin to adjust
yourself to the new situation.
I Every effort is made to fit your fu-
ture to the changed conditions. Little
by little you adapt yourself. Little by
is yet on, but You have adjusted the
harness so you can bear it. 1t gals
you some, but not as at first
Merciful faculty,
a great sorrow, a heartbreaking be-
reavement comes, and the violent blow
staggers you. Passing bells ring the
world over, and mourners go about the
street, but you do not mourn-till now
You can never be happy, again" Life
must be nothing. ..-
Nevertheless
! Even while your pain cries out the
inner forces are being marshaled for
defense against despair.
There is a slow but sure readjust-.
ment that permits you to go on, though
it may be sorrowfully at first and fear
fully.
AS you grow accustomed to the load
it grows lighter.
You keenly realize, of course, that
you never can be quite the same as be-
fore. You have been cnastened into
something different. The scar win al
ways remind you. But
You are still you.
Through it all you have preserved
the identity of your being. You have
passed under the rod and have under
gone experiences you did not dream
you should undergo. But
By and by you begin to realize that
even pain and sorrow and losses and
wounds have their compensation; that
you cannot be exempt from the COM
! mon lot; that You must fight the bat
tie OF life as good soldier; that you
have been preserved for good pur-
pose.
Gradually life again becomes worth
| the living.
AS the eye, passing from the bright
sunlight into sudden darkness. grad
ualIy adapts itself. so does the soul of
man adapt itself to the new environ
ment
Blessed is the power that inheres in
us to make REIMBURSEMENT.

Representatives Mondell, Taylor

have been introduced in the Senate by
Senator Warren, and in the H.ase of
Representatives by Representative
Mondell. to provide for reducing the
area required for cultivation in en-

ty acres. Representative Mondell's bill
provides that but twenty acres be cul-
tivated the second year. and forty
acres the third year of the entry. Com
missioner bennett is inclined to favor
legislation which will reduce the area
to be cultivated from eighty to forty
acres in the third year of the entry,
with provision that when proof is
submitted at the end of the five-year
term to complete the entry, it shall
be shown that one-fourth of the en-.
tire entry, or eighty acres, is under
