"A Small Boys Feeling that He is Some
Sort of God.

In the September American Magazine
Ellis Parker Butler writes a remarkably
entertaining story entitled "The Demi-
god" 1t is about small boy, and
in the course of the story Mr.. Butler
tells how Donald, who is in his carly
teens, feeling the strength and vitali-
ty of youth imagines himself a sort
of god;
'erhere were many proofs that Donald
was god. Ii he wanted to, for in
stance, he could stand stiff, fold his
arms, and rise slowly but steadily into
the air until he floated above the tops
OF the trees and houses. Common NOR
tails could not do this Donald had never
done ii himself. He had tried and it
had never quite worked, but he knew
he could do it. Sometime he would do
il.
"He could also hy. He could stand on
an eminence. ever 40 slight, and stretch
cut his arms and glide into the air, and
skim here and there like darting swal-
low. He had tried this, too, and it had
never quite worked; but that was mere
ly incidental. He had, also, absolute
dominion over the beasts and fowls and
insects. When he said the word they
would obey him instantly. When a
hawk flew across the sky he could raise
his hand and say:
"'Turn Fly the other way!' The
hawk never did-at least it never had
yet; but Donald felt that he was still
inclined to be little easy about such
things. When the time was right il
would be quite a different matter.
He had a vague notion that there
was a sort of conspiracy OF silence re-
garding his godship. There were times
when he felt that everyone knew he
was god, but that they did not let
on, probably because they were waiting !
for the right moment to acknowledge |
il. some mighty moment. as when half the |
town was gathered under the big tent
Of Barnum & Bailey's circus.
"He walked in a wonderful and half
mystical world. He could not be KILLED
BY javelin, spear, arrow or anything |
rise. He was deathlcss; he knew this /
for he Lad never died and had never
been killed.
But the greatest proof Of all was the
splendid feeling OF unlimited strength
md power He never decided Just what
rod he vas, but he was most often of
The opinion that he was an entirely new
ind greater god than any thee Greeks or
Norsemen or others had known"

evening. 1t was No. Is on the schedule
of l6 concerts that the musicians bar
gained to play during the summer and
bad it not been for a lack Of cooperation
manifested by the weather clerk earlier
in the season, The series would have been
before Jack Frost got in his

quality of music was not affected byl
the breath of winter and the crowd APP
plauded in midsummer fashion. One
more concert remains on the seasons |
program and it is probable that the band
men will complete the series by giving
, concert some Sunday afternoon.
