SENATOR NORRIS LITTLE MISTAKE

This is a tale of how Senator Geo.
W. Norris of Nebraska was almost
arrested. He had been a senator but
little over q month, having graduated
from the house of representatives,
which pedigree explains his crime.
The senator was standing on a
corner in Washington, thinking Of the
day when he led the fight in the
house to overthrow Cannonism, when
car hove into view. He took It.
When the car reached the Peace
monument II turned to the right and
landed the musing senator on the
house side. He got of, strolled into
the office building, still in a trance,
walked down the corridor to room
214, opened the door Of that room
and mechanically hung up his hat
An exclamation followed from a
stenogrspher who didn't look exactly
familiar Senator Norris glanced UP
in an annoyed way, and Of a sudden
began to realize that the furniture Of
the room had changed over night
Then. and only then, did the statesma
senate Office building and walking un'
any suite, he had returned to the old
and taken possession.

make an exception of Lena Williams

didn't ask her; 1t was because we de-

TO BE SUPERIOR TO CHANCE
Man Of Necessity 10 Made Of Right

Some people are thrown of their
balance the moment anything gees
wrong with them. They do not seem
to have the ability to overcome i'm.
pediments and to do their work ID

Anybody can work when everything
goes smoothly, when there is nothing
to trouble him; but a man must be
made Of the right kind of stun who
can rise above the things which an.
noy, harass and handicap the weak.
and do his work in spite Of them. In
deed, this Is the test Of greatness.
AS a matter Of fact, the greatest
achievements in all time have been &C
complished by men and women who
have been handicapped, annoyed, per.
secuted, misunderstood, criticised. But
they have been great enough to rise
above all these things and to do their
work in spite Of them.
A tremendous power permeates the
life and solidifies character from hold

being enveloped in the very center Of
truth and reality which can never
come to those who live on the surface
