We would even enjoy doing them special favors if we could. We feel that if we were in some cemetery, far, far away on the sun-kissed hillside where the low wind whispers 'mongst the well-kept shrubbery, and h 6 mournful dove pours forth h e r plaintive notes at even -song, we could read their names on a slab of beautiful veined Italian marble with real pleasure. w e feel that we could do this much for them, even since their unwar- ranted and ignoble action.

ARCHAEOL have long known that Salonica the ancient Thessalonica, which was founded by Cassander twenty two cen turies ago and named for his wife, the sister of Alexander the Great-is a rich field for study, but they have lacked money to make the necessary excavations. Now the war is doing the work for them. From the ditches that the soldiers dig, the antiquarians have rescued enough objects of art, inscribed tablets and other valuable relics to fill a museum. One account says that the archaeologists flock after the soldiers like crows after a plowman. ;"

WHAT IS THE SOUL? Continued from June Both issue

After God created man and all other living organisms, both male and female. the process for other souls of like nature was by begetting and birth.
 So we read in Ex. 1:5, "All the souls that came out of the Joins of Jacob. were seventy souls" Also Gen. 46:27, And the sons of Joseph were two souls.
 Bishop Muzon, one of the most scholarly of the M. E. church South, said men did not have souls. that men are souls. l could quote many other eminent scholars of the different denomi- nations. and christian workers undenominational, who have given this matter special study

 We'll, badly as we hate to say 1t, there's one or two such anil mals of our acquaintance. More attention than has yet been giv- en to it is deserved by the psy- chology of the people who, hav- ing seen something in a news paper, usually an editorial arti- cle with which they disagree, immediately write and mail an angry letter or notify their post master of their firm intentions to ta ke that paper no more. The apparent purpose of this action assuming it to be carried out is to punish the expression of the resented opinions by withdraw ing fraction of the paper s revenue, but underlying that aim is probably a desire, conscious, or unconscious. to inspire fear of other losses of the same kind and so to coerce the paper by an appeal to it's material interests into a reversal of its policies and attitude on question at issue. Of course such a reversal f O r such a reason would be dishonest as well as cowardlv, but he who proclaims the stopping of his subscription doesn't think of that. And how hard is 1t to ex- plain that anybody should be without the willingness. or even without the eagerness, to hear what can be said against his own views or conclusions! Eth CT his confidence in his own judgment is weak or he prefers to hold to notions already ac- cepted, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. The reader who will not take a paper with all the utterances of which he cannot agree does not want a newspaper at all. or to know what can be known about the subjects he considers important or interesting-he wants a par tisan paper that will keep him in comfortable twilight.
 Yes, newspaper men some times feel hurt at such peoples conduct, but we are not mad at at them. We never get mad. Life is too short. It is but a span at best; a tale soon told. It is like the belated guest that

A Trial al Resisting Temptations.

We can turn down profession al beggars and most agents. and solicitors for old ladies homes and t h Salvation Army, but when the book agent with a gGttering prospectus comes in, only the lack of money can keep our name off the dotted line. There was that fellow last week with a twelve volume set of O.. Henrv's works. A n d only a dollar month for Is months We wouldn't miss 1t. We al most signed, when we happen ed to think that our creditors would miss it. And then he pulled out another morocco fold ing prospectus and offered us, entirely free, a siX-volume set of Kipling's works. We reached for our pencil, to find that he had thrust his in our fingers. Just then we looked out of the window and saw about $50 worth of paper we had ordered coming up the street and we dropped the writing stick. Out of his pocket came another siX-volume offer. This time it was Jack London's works. There were Before Adam" and The Call of the Wild' and four others we didn't need, but wanted, oh, so badly! Hesitatingly we looked the three sets over. Twenty four shining volumes for only SIS, and eighteen months to pay it in. No, he wasn't selling us the last. two sets. Just giving them as an inducement to buy the others. Besides he W s making this special offer because we were in the newspaper busi- ness. It would help him SC much to get out and tell the Ozark people that the Spectator editor had bought a set. Surely now we could not refuse to sign!
 But the draymen were unload ing the paper and the sound of the large bundles thrown on the floor kept our mind quite clear. Did we have any children? Sure. Our fatherly cataloging of the little one brought out the fourth set, two volumes, Every Man His Own Physician. Twenty six elegant books for SIS, and eighteen months to pay for them. Just then the envelope contain ing notice that it was time to take up that sight draet peeped at us from under the morning mail and we exploded with such vim that he sadly folded his imi- tation leather samples and de- parted. Again we had saved SIS for rainy day.
