OUR UNRELIABLE MINDS.
Friendly and Helpful at Times,
but Not Always.

but Not Always.
Have you ever had the feeling that
you were at the mercy of your mind
II is like the horse that you can lead TO
water but that you can't make drink.
You may set 1t to work on something or
other Sometimes II will produce re-
suits. sometimes II won't.
Perhaps you have some hard business
problems to solve. Merely routine work
on II won't do. A fresh, original idea is
needed. BUT no matter how hard you
apply yourself the idea doesn't come
Then a day later. when you are think
ing about something else, the right idea
suddenly pops into your head. You
don't know why 1t came, but it did.
In your mental furniture is a set Of
drawers each with its appropriate label
You go up to one and try TO open II.
The drawer sticks, and you tug and
pull with infinite difficulty. Sometimes
II gives a little and you catch glimpse
inside of what seems to he a splendid
idea. all ready for use Then. just as
you are reaching for It the drawer snaps
shut with a bang. as II pulled by an
invisible elastic band, and all further at
tempts to open it are futile. The idea
is there, but you can't get II out This
sort Of thing often happens when you are
trying to remember a forgotten name
You almost get the name out and then
the drawer shuts on you. and you have
to wait for II to pop open before you can
tell what the name Is.
Then there is another experience. You
have a notion that a particularly brill
liant idea is shut up In one OF your men
tai compartments. You 20 to II and tug
and pull Finally the drawer slides open.
but there isn't the sign of an idea there.
The drawer is as bare as Mother Hub
bard's cupboard: or else Tire ideas that
YOU find are all seconds, defective iu
every particular. In that event, even
with the best intentions in the world,
you are helpless.
The fact is that ideas have been pretty
much their own masters. II an investi-
gator sets to work on a difficult problem.
he doesn't know whether he is going &c
find a workable idea or not. He trusts to
kind Providence that sometimes rewards
hard work with an idea
Whether the story of Newton discov-
ering the law of Gravitation by watching
the fall Of an apple Is true or not, Il
might have been. That Is the way great
discoveries come. The time and the man
must be ready for them. But then the
idea usually dawns as a sort of inspira-
ton
1t would be fine IL the ideas could be
manufactured and stored away by con-
scious effort. But, after all. that might
take away some of the adventure OF liv-
ing. As it is, you never know when you
go to the mental cupboard whether you
are going to find it full Of good things
or empty. At least. there Is the uncer-
taInty to give zest to existence.-Kansas

Revival of War Between
Bryan and Sullivan.
WHITE HOUSE DISTURBED
Administration Considers Seeretary's
Attack Untimely as the President
Is Seeking Approval OF His Policies
in the November Elections.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Secretary of State
William ]. Bryan has assumed per-
sonal responsibility for the editorial
which appears in the current issue of
the Commoner assailing the senatorial
candidacy of Roger c. Sullivan.
Mr.. Bryan said that the White
House was in no way involved in the
controversy. Adyices from Washing
ton were that President Wilson was
not a party to the anti-Sullivan pro-
nouncement
White House spokesman, moreover,
it was asserted on trustworthy au-
thority. regarded the Bryan broadside
as untimely and indiscreet.
The revival of the old Sullivan
Bryan feud, according to Washington
information, was viewed by the White
House folks as disquieting develop
ment just at this time when the presi-
dent is looking forward to approval
of his administration in the congress
sional elections.
The fear is expressed that If Sec
retary Bryan and Mr.. Sullivan stage
another bitter contest such as tore
asunder the Jeffersonian ranks in
1906 there will be grave doubt as TO
whether the present Democratic rep
/ resentation in congress from Illinois
will be maintained after the next cleo
tion.
Regardless of what may be the at
titude of the White House it can be
stated on good authority that Mr..
Sullivan and Secretary Bryan are
billed for a hair-curling row over
Illinois between now and the pri-
mares.
There is a possibility that Mr..
Bryan will come to Illinois and
stump the state when the campaign
gets warmed up.
