Setting Things Riqht

AFTER I woke this morning I lay still
"A for long time, for had so much to
think about. Rowdy pushed his nose under
my hand at last, so kissed him on the nose
as usual, but did not got up. He stood
wagging his tail and we went on thinking
about the circus,
We were thinking what funny things God
does. for il He had given half the graff's
neck to the elephant the giraffe would still
have had enough neck and the elephant
would not have needed such a long nose.
should hate to have to go along the road
holding up my head to keep my nose from
dragging on the ground the way an ele-
phant has to do. Then there was a snake
In the side shsw that went sliddering around
its cage on its stummick. 1t must be awful
hard to learn to do that, got out of bed
and tried 1t on the floor, but all l did was
wiggie and did not get anywhere.
If God had given the snake four legs off
the thousand-legged worm the worm would
still have more legs than it needs and the
snake could get along much faster. or God
might have given the snake half the legs the
worm has and that would have been much
better, for If 1t was q long snake and II had
only four legs its belly might drag and get
all scratched up, 1t Ia hard to tell whether
God made mistakes with those animals or
was just trying to be funny. I think il (
had a lot OF animals to put together I
should mix up few of them like that lust
to SEQ how they would look and to have
something to laugh at,
God did not mako the elephants skin to
fit so the poor thing looks sloppy IL the
tailor made my father pair of pants like
that my father would land on his nose but
then an elephant is only poor ignorant
animal
When my father came in from his night
watching Rowdy barked and I flung a nil
low at him and we all started the day
laughing. which Is tho best way, Then I
washed my hands and face and stirred the
pancakes while my father watched me TO
see that did IL right Topped them with
out missing once, which think is pretty
good. Old Maid Tompkins says Il is wicked
to be proud, but that Is because she has
nothing to be proud about. guess II she
had hair like mine and could turn over end
ways and walk on her hands and swim and
climb trees and run for half a day without
getting tired, she would be proud, too,
can do all those things and no | am as
proud as l can be. I do not think any one
should be proud of clothes. because any one
can have clothes who has money, but the
things you can do are the things to be proud
about.
Rowdy and went to school with eur feet
hardly touching the ground, But there 1
saw the little foreign girl and she was not
wearing my now shoes that gave her. but

LONELINESS IN THE DEEPER
JOYS AND SORROWS OF LIFE
Universal Experience Teaches That Only the
More Superficial Emotions Can Be
Shared by Others

GONE time or another we all realize
= ~ that life is fundamentally lonely; no
matter how many friends and relatives
y we may possess, no matter how much
they are loved, no matter how truly they
sympathize In our joys and sorrows, away
down at "rock bottom we must be al
ways alone. In the ultimate crisis we
must decide for ourselves; in our most
supreme joys we canhot ever express
what is within our souls; in the hour of
utter sorrow we must fall back on our
own powers of endurance, and at the
end OF all we must face the unknown
eternity alone.
When we are very young or IL we are
very shallow we may never experience
this sense OF isolation; for the surface
Joys, sorrows and experiences can be
shared; but as we grow older and feel
more deeply we know that loneliness is
q quality of the soul, that IL lies within us.
TN THE chapter Of "Mr. Britling Sees
u 1t Through" in which the hero's many
love affairs are described the author lays
stress on the fact that 1t was his imagina- |
tion, his perennial youth. that led him |
always out in hope that at last he would |
meet the perfect companion who, under
standing all. would be able to enter com.
pletey into his Joys and sorrows, to share
his real life. OF course, there are great
many who, like him, continue that vain
quest of the impossible; but most of us
more or less resignedly make up our
minds that we must live and die unknown
even by those who are nearest.
At the same time, no one can deny that
the companionship of one who loves us
enough really to enter as far as may be
into our lives is the most perfect of
earthly experiences, that our pain is les

Milk and Cherries

DO milk and cherries together cause a chem
ical change in tho stomach? Likewise beer
and cherries? j. c. L.
Cherries are not incompatible with milk,
IL well chewed. Beer and cherries do not
cause any chemical change that we know
of in the stomach, but the alcohol contained
in the beer hinders the digestion of any
kind of food and therefore should not be
used in combination with cherries or any
thing else. Alcohol taken in any form is
harmful, and we would not advise you to
continue its use

AS has been expected, by reason of
the contour of the territory over

of St. Julien and northwest of Zon

Secretary Lane arrived here at IL

convention hall, accompanied by Gov

He was in New Orleans twenty-five

Mr.. Lanes speech was hurried by
the necessity of leaving on the Pan

was as follows:
Il am here to ask your help in the
name Of the President and of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. We are
about to place upon the market a
new issue Of Liberty bonds. Our
appeal on behalf of the nation is to
the people of the nation. This is a
fight for democracy and we are fol-
lowing democratic methods. There
was day NO. long past when gov
eminent could make war without
asking the consent Of those who were
the money masters. The foundation
Of our financial resources is the
wealth and willingness of our people.
A war for democracy should be sup
ported by the money of democracy.
