WHEN 1T RAINS, LeTiT RAIN.

IL was raining hard, and the wind
was driving sheets of water against
the window panes. The lecture room
was hlled- AT the appointed hour the
professor entered. Mounting the plat
FORM he remarked dryly. Gentlemen.
whea 1t rains, let 1t rain" Whereupon
he Immediately left the room.
In these few words were both lee
ture and an object lesson. and the stu
dents never forgot the occurrence.
when 1t rains. let 1t rain. Why not?
II It wants to rain. 1t will rain. and
al the ingenuity OF man cannot pre-
vent the downfall. II 1t did not rain
part of the time. the world would tire
OF sunshine. Contrasts are necessary
to progress.
The good would not be good II It
were not in competition with the bad.
Continuous enjoyment breeds stagna-
ton.
suffering has its place, and so have
worry and encouragement.

glory of his power, stands upon the

steers his ship through mountainous
waves and the wind of the tornado.
would not be happy or satisfied pilot
ing nat boat on a calm and placid
river.
If the Road of Life were smooth
and without handicaps. men would be
like animals, without ambition and
without incentive to master both them
selves and the conditions In which
they found themselves.
When it rains. let 1t rain. Do not
be concerned in stopping the rain. but
be ever anxious to meet the downpour
and to devise means for protecting
yourself against 1t.
The brave man, the man who wins
in every kind OF strife. does not try
to get rid of trouble. but. rather. arms
himself to meet 1t. He accepts the
night as well as the day; he loves the
storm as well as the calm; he uses
disaster, II 1t must come. as an expe-
rience of extreme value in the race
of his life. He has no patience with
monotony. He is strenuous as well as
cautious, and when he conquers trou-
BILE he is proud OF his ability to win.
No success worth while ever oc-
Cured on smooth road. Men of
power reached their positions because
their paths were strewn with disaster
and they had opportunity to use the
ability which Nature gave them and
which they developed in danger as
well as in safety.
When it rains. let 1t rain. Don't
think of the wet of the rain, but con
cern yourself with meeting it. pro-
tecting yourself against it. Do not al
low it to wet your ambition or to soak
your energy.
When it rains, let 1t rain. When
trouble comes, let 1t come. When dis
aster meets you, do not turn your
back upon it, but face it like man. II
these things were not necessary for
the development of the human race.
the all-wise Creator would not have
permitted them to exist.
Learn life's Alternatives by not
avoiding it's negatives. There would be
no affirmative unless opposite 1t were
a negative.
When 1t rains. let 1t rain. 1t Will.

Although 1t is seldom fatal. few dis.
eases to which mankind is heir cause
more intense suffering than lumbago
1t is characterized by severe pains like
neuralgia or rheumatism in the small

around what are known as the lumbar

AS he encourages US with his pat

As the Editor
Sees the Farmer.

The winter months will be
along soon now and the farmer
will be wondering what he Can
do to while away the evening
hours. And right here the editor
wants to throw out a suggestion
that means both pleasure and
profit. Arrange to have a meet
ing at one of your school houses
or other public places at least one
evening a month, at which you
can all compare notes on the sea-
sons work, note the mistakes
that have been made and devise
the best methods of correcting
them the coming year. You can
not get a dozen farmers together
but what some one of them will
have something to say of value
to you, something that perhaps
you have not known before, some
thing that will make work light
er and profits greater in future
years. The social features alone
of such meetings would drive
away the monotony of the winter
evenings, and from a practical
standpoint they would be, of
great value to every one who
participates. Get together, gent
lemeu, and compare notes. What
is good for one is of equal benefit
to all.

haughtily into the store. The
farmer merely grinned and turHr

banker. The dude was on salary
and living right up to his means.
The farmer had mortgages plast-
cred on property all over the
territory, had money to burn in
the bank. and owned a great farm
that insured his independence for

ROOSEVELT GAINS A POINT
Which Suit Is Based That Men
Were Political Allies.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 5.-Through
the testimony of Walter Arndt, for
merly a correspondent for a New
York city newspaper at Albany, the
Roosevelt forces succeeded in show.
ing communication between William
Barnes and Charles F. Murphy about
legislation at Albany.
Murphy, according to Arndt's YER
sion of an interview with Barnes IN
1909, had asked Republican help to
kill the direct primary bills.
1t was Roosevelt's first evidence to
prove his assertion on which the libel
suit is based, that Barnes and Murphy
were political allies.
In that one instance" explained a
Roosevelt lawyer, Barnes may have
refused to aid Murphy, but we have
established the fact that they were in
communication"
