A SMALL BOYS FEELING THAT He
IS SOME SORT OF GOD

In the September American Mag
azinc Ellis Parker Butler writes a
remarkably entertaining story en-
titled The Demigod." II is about
small hoy, and in the course Of the
story Mr.. Butler tells how Donald,
who is in his early teens, feeling
the strength and vitality Of youth,
magazines himself sort Of god:
There were many proofs that
Donald was a god. II he wanted to,
for instance. he could stand stifI,
rold his srms and rise slowly but
steadily into the air until he floated
above the tops Of the trees and
houses. Common mortals could not
do this. Donald had never done IT
himself. lie had tried and IL had
never quite worked, hut he knew
he could do il. Sometime he would
do II.
"He could also fly. He could stand
on an eminence, ever so slight, and
stretch out his arms and glide into
the air. and skim here and there like
"A darling swallow. He had tried
this. too. and IL had never quite
worked: but that was merely incl
dental He had also, absolute do
minion over the beasts and fowls aud
insects. When he said the word
they obcycd him instantly. When
hawk flew across the sky he
could raise his hand and say:
Turn Fly the other way The
hawk never did-at least II never
had yet: but Donald felt that he
was still inclined 10 be- little easy
was right il would be quite az
about such things. Wii,n the time
fereut matter.
"IIc had a vague notion that there
was sort Of conspiracy Of silence
regarding his godship. There were
times when ne felt that everyone
knew he was god, but that they
did not let on probably because
they were waiting for the right mo-
mcnt Ia acknowledge il. some mighty
moment. as when half the town
was gathered under the big tent OF
Barnum Il Bailcy's circus.
"He walked in wonderful and
half-mystical world. He could not
be- killed by iavelin, spear, arrow or
ANYTHING else. He was deathless:
he knew this for he had never been
killed.
But the greatest proof Of all was
the splendid feeling Of unlimited
strength and power. He never de-
cided lust what god he was, but he
was most often Of the opinion that
he was an entirely new and greater
god than any the Greeks or Morse
men or others had known"

VERSE FOR THIS WEEK

o Lord, how happy is the time
When in Thy love I rest:
When from my WEAKNESS I climb
Fen TO Thy tender breast.
The night OF sorrow endeth there,
Thy rays outshine the sun;
And in Thy pardon and Thy care
The heaven of heavens is won.

THE WATCHING OF PROVIDENCE

iHh "hNIhlNu VI rhON'DbNCh
How are Thy servants best, Lord
How sure is their defence!
Eternal Wisdom is their guide;
Their help. Omnipotencc.
In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by Thy care,
Through burning climes pass'd unhurt,
And breathd in tainted air
Think o my soul, devoutly think,
How, with affrighted eyes,
Thou saw'st the wide-eXtended deep,
In all its horrors rise
Vet then from all my griefs, o Lord,
Thy mercy set me free;
Whilst, in the confidence Of prayer,
Ny soul took hold on Thee.
The storm was laid the winds retir'd
Obedient to Thy will;
The sea- that roars at Thy command,
At Thy command was still.
In midst Of dangers. fears. and death,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And praise Thee for Thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
My life, if Thou preserv'st my life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
And death, il death must be my DOOM
Shall join my soul to Thee

KNOCK OUT OLD LAW.
Brewer OF Crawford Would Take
Garnishce From Low Salaried.

George D. Brewer Of Crawford county,
today offered bill in the house providing
for. the repeal OF the 10 per cent garnish-
men: act. He would eliminate from
garnishment the wages of all men and
women earning less than SIS week, but
would permit the punishment of any sum
earned in excess Of SIS week.
The Brewer bill means another hot
fight during the present legislative ses-
sion concerning the garnishment feature
of the state law. Brewers bill would
virtually wipe or the statute books the
effect of the garnish1nent law BY ex-
empting from garnishment all persons
earning less than SIS week, the Girard
man would take from under the pro-
visions of the law thousands of men and
women who are now subject to operations
of the act.
1t was during the 1918 legislative session
that the present 10 per cent garnishment
act was passed.erIt provided, in its orig
inal draft. that IS per cent of the weekly
or monthly earnings of man woman
Nigh. be garnisheed, where the debt was
owing for living expenses such as gro
ceries. dry goods, fuel and household or
personal necessities with the Is per
cent clause attached. Governor Hodges re-
fused to sign the bill and returned 1t to
the legislature with special message at
tached. The legislature then amended the
bill. providing for a 10 per cent garnish-
ment. This bill was signed by the gov
ernor and has been in operation since the
spring of 1913
