NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn 10 Stupid,
10 Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance Of the man who
arises to the minor heroism Of a cold
bath has been complained OF by less
heroic folk who arise to a tepid or
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock Of cold wa
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim to Immortality.
It lacks moral sufticiency and Is too
much made Of by the cold bathers.
Another arrogance Is given c0nsid-
Grafton by the Rev. Walter Dwight,
S. J., in America. It is the arrogance
Of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS a rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set"
appearing to believe that they move
on q higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being. not
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into It, has felt the strange spiritual
afiatus, the moral patting on the back
in consequence thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done for
q naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight is remorseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent Of
mankind.

house he had ever gazed upon, and the
finest dancing place he had ever put
his foot upon. Everywhere the trees
were green and the air was soft as II
1t were summer. though the hunter had
been tramping through the snow when
he met the panther.
There was q great company OF
dancers there, but they were all
panthers; and when the other six
hunters who had been sent out to kill
deer by the panthers had come back.
the dance began.
After he had watched the dance for
some time, the hunter said that he
would like to join in. So the panther
who had led him into the underground
place came up to the hunter and
passed his tongue across the hunters
cheeks and said:
You are now my brother. and you
may join the dance"
II was the best dance the hunter had
ever had; and after he had made a
few rounds he wanted to go back to
his people and bring some Of his
friends to the place. So, when none
Of the panthers was looking he slipped
away to the entrance. And when he
was once outside in the snow he hur-
ried as fast as he could to the settle
ment. AS he came to his home he met
party Of hunters going out to look
for him. He had been away for
great many days. though he thought
1t was only few hours.
He told the people about the house
Of the panthers, and started out to
lead some Of them to the place. But
the snow had covered up his tracks
and he could not find the door in the
side Of the hill.
And in seven days the hunter who
had been made brother to the panther
died, because he could not longer live
with men. The day after the hunter
died the panther came to look for him.
and when he found out that the hunter
was dead the panther began to cry.
Ever since the panther has gone about
In the night seeking his brother.

Long time ago. when panther cried
In the woods. for all the world like the
cry Of a woman in pain. an old man
would wake up from his light sleep
and mutter:
so, you are calling to your brother!
Well. you may go on calling, for your
brother is sound asleep"
And the old man would draw his
blanket over his head to shut out the
sound Of the panther's crying. Next
morning. while everybody was eating.
the old man would say that he had
heard the panther in the night calling
for his brother; and then one Of the
little boys would ask for the story Of
how the panther got-and lost-a
brother.
Once, as the old men told the story
a hunter was in the woods in the mid
die OF the afternoon. and he met u
panther coming toward him. At once
the hunter put an arrow against his
bowstring and got ready to shoot, but
then he was surprised to hear the
panther speak to him.
Where are you going?" asked the
panther. The hunter said that he was
looking for a deer.
well, so am l." said the panther.
I'VE are going to hold a dance, and
seven OF US panthers are out hunting

panther until the panther had killed
