OUR ENEMIES AND WHAT TO 90
WITH THEM.

1t is not necessarily to ones dis
credit hat there are some people WHO
do not like him. No more difficult feat
was ever attempted than to try to live
in this world n please everybody.
And the more high minded and ener-
getic a person is the more difficult 1T
becomes. Some of the choicest and
most useful souls in history rave been
the most cordially hated.
1t becomes a question of no small
mics. On the consideration alone of
ones peace of mind a proper attitude
and department must be determined.
In few other matters will a consistent
philosophy prove more helpful.
Let us concede at the start that our
enemy Is we'll within his rights in not
not fancying US. We need not accuse
him of being a dishonest scoundrel be-
cause our personality does not appeal
to him OF u actions please him.. Only
an objectionable egotist or a hopeless
baby could raise snarling revolt against
every bit of opposition he received.
But enemies are not to be taken too
seriously. Their hatred of us is not to
be Overesti1mated for n thing. AS
a matter of fact not many OF them are
lying awake nights thinking how to do
us harm. Reflect how 1t is in your

LITTLE STORIES OF LIFE
THE DOOR WITHOUT A KEYH0LE.
BY J. L. DAVIES.

1t certainly was puZziing. We had
watched him go in any number of
times. 1 had, i'm a cautious way. ex-
alnined the door, after l had seen him
leave the house. and knew the door
was locked, having tried the knob. To
gether we had watched him from be-
hind closely curtained windows. pull
out Il bunch of keys. and, after care
fully selecting one. ope the door and
disappear inside. But where was the
keyhole? We could not discover any
minds. / lost all interest in every
thing else. and spent most of my time
i'm watching that door. The house
was directly across the street. and l
had an unobstructed view of the door
knob. Every time / saw him coming L
would rush to the window and strain
my eyes to discover the method he
employed in entering.
In my well-regulated life l had
yet allowed anything to so complete
ly control my every action. but when
one sees with his own eyes the en-
franc of a mar into a house. with Il
key liz his hand; and no keyhole in
h door, I do not think one is to be
blamed for yielding to a natural cur
iosity.
Ii was in a very uneasy and nervous
state of mind that / decided to call
upon my old friend. Michael O'iIara.

my story. but noting my extreme nerN-

street and into my own house. My
wife met me in the hall. but l rushed
by her and into my room. and flung
myself upon a couch. burying my head
trying to calm my excitement, and dis
cover what a occurred.
The keyhole is gone. No: the door

which is gone" I gasped.
oh. Is 1t the door opposite that
has caused you to lose control Of your
self?" exclaimed my wife. What is
the matter now?"
There is no doorknob. but there is
a %keyhole." I answered.
''Tha is very strange said my VINE.

She walked to the window. and 1 fol-

out together. and there. where I could
have sworn 1 had a few minutes be-

but a knob. My wife looked at me
