PerxersIty of Human Nature.

The perversity of human nature will
assert itself even with the best reg
ulated disposition When we should
work, we want to rest, and when we
are enforced to rest, then work is
crayed. In the midst of pleasure days
or vacation days, the exhilaration of
busy days seems more alluring- In
sweltering summer the cool winds of
winter are recalled as welcome mem
DRY, and in the biting frost of winter
the sweltering days of the good old
summer time mellow into a pleasant
recollection. The days of leisure, long
anticipated as a haven of hope when
it was planned to do SO much OF the
neglected work and reading, slip away
under the spell of doing nothing-and
again we realize the age-old truth that
the lash of necessity and pressure of
the duties of the present accounts for
many things accomplished that would
not have been achieved If one fell un-
der that inherent impulse to loaf that
inspired Omar Khayyam, and the fas-
cinating spell of lethargy captures it's

HOW TO GET THE BOYS CONF.

Not long ago g. boy was arrested
In New York and tried in the chill
dren's court The first thing he said
to the officer was: Don't tell Mr..
Watkins" Mr.. Watkins is a man
who. had taken a special interest in
this boy from the slums and was try
ing to help nim- He would often call
at the boys house and invite him
out for a good time, or take him
with him to his home. While in
court the fear that Mr. Watkins
would find him out seemed to trouble
the boy most He did not seem to
care much that his parents knew of
his arrest, because he had been scold-
ed and nagged by them until he had
become calloused- He knew that Mr..

WONDERS NOT AT THE GROWTH
OF suFFRAGETTE SENTIMENT

Florence Forum What party do
we belong to? A hard question to
answer these days with the splitups
that have occurred in both the re-
publican and democratic parties in the
past few years.
Years ago we had the straight re-
publican and democratic parties and
we belonged to one or the other. Then
came a change and we had the "stal-
wart" and progressive factions OF
the republican party to contend with,
and then the true republican party
the ~stalwarts, and the progressive
party. Then Dick Richards got busy
with his primary law and now we
have the minority and majority fac
tions of both republican and democrat
parties. We a not be a republican
or a democrat and let it go at that,
No wonder the suffragettes are be
coming popular.

A little touch of winter temperature
came with Sunday and Monday this

q genial sun, and a southern breeze,

The only serious drawback to these
fine days is the fact that as farm folks
who usually spend n good share Of the
winter time inside hardly have the

TO stay inside with the women folks.
We are IN receipt OF q letter today
from an old friend in which she
speaks Of the climate, scenery and
weather of their new home, Hudson,
