When you throw a piece OF wood into

make yourself into a boat and to 60
floating about as easily and coolly AZ
q real boat does?
This may sound very queer. but to
one who has confidence In himself 1t
is quite practicable. as was proved
many years ago by a DIT. Bedale Of
Manchester This gentleman, a noted
long distance swimmer, was often to
be seen floating about the river Mer-

fasten a strong belt round his waist
and attach to 1t, light mast and sail.

On Raino Calm,


One Of the finest things within reach
Of the average individual Is calmness.
1t is also profitable.
Calmness is the twin sister Of COM
fort The man or woman who has
formed the habit Of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are IN
comfortable.
Nor is it such a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member Of the family!
For calmness IL about ninety per
cent freedom from fear.
As a rule. the person who is not calm
Is afraid Of something or somebody.
Afraid Of self. perhaps. And that is
the most disconcerting sort OF fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm.
When the winds of adversely or dis
appointment or discouragement are
seeking to rufle your mental seas.

POOR HAD A HARD
TIME IN JANUARY

According to the statement Of
James Howarth, township trustee,
January has been the hardest month
on the poorer class of this city than
any month since he has held his pres
ent position. The poor accounts for
the month of the trustees office are
larger than they have been for the
PAST four or five years. The amount
expended for the aid of the poor dur
ing the month will probably amount to
more than $500. Reports of charita-
BILE organizations show January to
have been one of hardship on the poor,
from the amount Of money expended
and aid asked of the organizations.

Athens tho Seat Of Le.rnina.

1t may be said unhesitatingly that
the country which has produced the
greatest men in literature and philos-
ophy, art and architecture is Greece.
In the little state of Attica-not much
larger than Greater New York-true
civilization and all that goes along
with it were born. All that has been
done since the 'age Of Pericles'' has
been simply the carrying out Of the
ideas, principles and methods laid
down by the men who won Marathon
and Salami, Platea and Mycale. Gal
ton, a high authority, does not hesitate
to say that Athens and the little state
of which it was the capital produced
more irst class intellects than have
sineelbeen produced by all the world
put together.-New York American.

Decentralization faces the Democrats
Of Wayne county, not even candidate
for the office of county chairman be-
the coming campaign are so vague and
uncertain. that it is even improbable
full county ticket will be placed in
the field against the Republicans.
Several prominent members of the
Democratic party Of this city admitted
today that no steps have been taken
to place ticket in the field, and most
of them stated that it was conceded
that not a full ticket would be named.
The idea Of the Democrats seems ia
be to buck the Republican line" at
the weakest points. Benz. Drischell,
formerly a resident Of Cambridge City,
but now a resident OF this city. and q
we'll known coal dealer, is mentioned
as a probable choice OF the Democrats
for opposition to the Republican can
didate for sheriff.
According to several OF the Demo
Gratis interviewed, it Is probable that
a mass meeting will be held before the
fifteenth Of next month. and efforts
made to outline a ticket which may
be used against the Republicans. Nc
date has been set, however. for this
meeting.
The Democrats of this county are
admittedly in the minority and as one
prominent member yesterday stated
the Republicans were late and as we
in, hA oh I
and see what they do, and then We
can best Judge how to act.' 1t is evi
dent from their inaction that the
Democrats of the county will pursue q
Fabian policy.
