fled With a Narrow Outlook on
the Journey Of Life.
How wide is your horizon?

How wide is your horizonP
A child playing in a sandpile in
the back yard cannot see over the.
high board fence by which his little
republic is bounded on every hand.
On this side of the fence there is the
small plot where the sweet peas
grow, and there is a twirling tree
whose branches are for holding out
clothes like Christmas presents to
the sun, and he has this sandpile
wherein he may dig and dabble to his
hearts content. On the other side
of the fence is "sorcery and every
thing unknown" 1t is pleasanter
and safer here. Why look for a
knothole, or way over, or try to
get out at the gateE Yet no inquisi-
tive, acquisitive child is content to
be penned up in his own backyard
for playground forever.
Our minds were not meant to be
satisfied with narrow range of arid,
sterile pasturage. They were not
meant to find their nourishment in
the petty gossip of a neighborhood.
They were designed to roam at large
through the whole wide field of hui.
man interest. The home will GAIN,
not lose, by the inspiration of the.
wife and mother who lifts her eyes
to the hills, and beyond the hills to
the stars.

DEMOCRATS talk OF
CONTEST IN Senate

Efforts are ON foot among the Demo.

try to upset the Republican majority OF
one I'm the State Senate. The plan IS
to have George Waldeman, Democratic
candidate for State Senator. contest the
election Of Joseph Frazier. Republican
candidate. who was declared elected by
four votes.
The contest viii be made ON the
ground of alleged fraud in the election
II charges are preferred before the
Senate and the matter is investigated.
Frazier cannot vote ON his own case, AMI
that will leave eight Democratic and
eight Republican members. The law
provides that in case of tic the lieu
tenant governor shall cast the deciding
vote in the body, and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Ferguson is a Democrat
Republicans are laughing az the
Democratic scheme They point out
that Frazier was declared elected by
the court. and that when ne presents
his certificate of election he can be
sworn in as Senator. The contest. if it
is filed and heard can be determined
later That has been the custom i'm
the Legislature. and was followed in
the Bennett case i'm the House at the
last session. Should this procedure be
followed, and there is every indica-

have little or no chance of grabbing

the names were taken from the first
names of the sire or ancestor, such as

being translated literally means Johns
son; second, source of locality in which
they lived whereby a number took their
names from some feature cf the land
