What Chicago Election Means

Chicago's election is hailed by the old
stand-pat gang as sign that the people
are returning to the Republican party
Perhaps the entire nation will be told
that the election of Thompson over
Sweitzer means just that.
In truth. it was a local fight, in which
disgruntled democratic gangsters knitted
their party nominee: the ignorant ele-
ment was led to believe that Thompson
would put them all to work the morning
after election. Religious bigotry, intol-
erance and racial feeling played larger
parts than did politics.
AS an indication of how the party
winds blow the Chicago election is worth
about as much as is weather cock rusted
fast to the vane.

KNOCKING ON WOOD.

answered, and reached over and raped
her knuckles on the table.
"How's business?" asked a man.
"Fine!" he replied. ITS coming great.
The best month we've had in three
years" Then he knocked on wood.
We knock wood to keep away bad
luck.
The theory seems to be that If you
say anything about being fortunate you
invite evil fortune.

disease or accident Is laying" for you.
IL you are making money, be care
full; whisper it only, lest fate overhear
you and hand you disaster.
1t ID q most common habit Of mind and
a most absurd and dangerous one. The
philosophy 1t Is founded on is lie. The
effect Of believing IL is harmful
Why are We afraid to be happy? There
are people who cannot attend joyous

II you have got into this way. quit IL.
Instead Of hesitating to admit you are
prosperous, be afraid rather to admit
you are not prosperous
Why do we love TO tell Of our pains,
our sadness, our defeats, our limitations?
IL, you will cease this silly custom,
dwell on your pleasant phases and cult
vate the advertisement of your success,
you will be glad of IT,
For you will be contented. Your mind
will be filed with agreeable thoughts.
You will sleep better.
And you will do better work. Your

When disappointments occur, forget

don't speak Of them. II you have bodily
ailments, don't allude to them. IL you
have lost money, or if you have been
snubbed, dismiss the occurrence from
your mind.
FACE THE SUN.
Think every night Of the good things
that have happened to you during the
day. If none, then think Of those that
are going to happen the morrow.
= Thoughts are mind food. Eat cheer
full, hopeful, vigor-giving thoughts Fear
full thoughts are indigestible. They
poison you. They take the pep out Of
you.
| Bad things may happen to you; but
why think about them?
Knocking on wood is actually wicked.
Trust the future. Invite your luck. Be

Believe that whoever God may be, He is
your friend.
