This comes pretty close TO stating
universal truth. There are excep-

chronic grumblers
When you grumble that your work

self into thinking that these are the
real reasons for your grumbling.

Piled yourself 10 Il properly. or that
II Is work for which YOU are not
naturally adapted In either case II
is work you are doing poorly. and
your grumbling Is = self-be trayal OF
your inetflciency.
A man who Is really master OF
his Job. whether az the top OF the
business ladder or at the bottom. IS
never a chronic grumbler The con
sciousness OF mastery gives him a
satisfaction that makes .grumbling
out OF the question.

1t Was Only a Play War
In Which This Lad Fell,
Dying - But How Like


Stewart and Otto Langkawell, broth
ers. aged nine and ten respectively
were in the yard in the rear of their
home. No. SS9 Twenty-Fifth-st.
"Come on, Stewart said Otto Tets
play soldier"
"All right" said Otto, even play
we're in a war, huh?"
Stewart and Otto are described as
most patriotic boys.
They had been following the war news
closely, reading it in the family news
paper every day.
AT first. as they played solder
they simply marched, carrying broom
sticks for guns.
They were marching against an I'M
asinary foe somewhere" just as sol
diers do against real foe in actual war
Soon the enemy would be discovered
and then it would be incumbent upon
Stewart and Otto to place their broom
sticks to their shoulders, take aim ana
fire and kill.
They had no idea just why they were
to shoot and kill.
Not knowing the men they would kill
they had nothing against them, OF course
What they DID know was that they
were playing war and that if they were
to play war, they had to kill somebody
when their imaginary leader command
ed them to fire.
Besides, even in REAL war, men do
not know why they shoot at each other
and kill.
Suddenly Otto remembered having
seen something in the house that would
make more of an impression on the en-
enemy than broomstick would.
It was a revolver.
He ran into the house and got it.
When play had been resumed Otto
and Stewart lined up as enemies.
The two brothers who had been march
ing together in a common cause found
themselves on different firing lines, OBJ
ligated now to kill each other.
xIy.u~,A ~ - Ill. IoEAT 1s,ar9
Remember the incident of which Toll
stoi wrote, when a truce was declared
for a short time and the men on the re-
spective sides in a battle stepped over
to get acquainted with one another, and
found they liked each other and fell to
playing cards with each other and were
having an enjoyable time, when the
bugles called them to their respective
lines and they began again to kill one
another.
The order came from Otto's imaginary
leader to fire.
The revolver was pointed at Stewart,
the enemy.
Otto pulled the trigger.
Stewart fell with a bullet in his left
lung, dying, the doctors say.
The odds were too great against Stew
art, who had only broomstick
Whether the cause for which he fired
was wrong or right, he won because he
had the deadlier weapon.
Wasn't it just like real war?
If little Stewart dies, he will have
been spared the troubles Of hard world.
He will have met the welcome in the
invitation: "Suffer little children to
come unto me, and will be better off.
They will take good care that Otto
soon forgets and is spared the lifelong
thought that he killed his brother.
The one who will do all the suffering
will be little Stewards mother.
Wasn't this play war of brothers JUST
like real war?

A Great Temperance Rally.

On Sunday, January %, Hon. Wesley
L. Jones. United States Senator from
Washington, will address great Tenn
perance Mass Meeting at the Lyric Thea
tire, Baltimore at 2.30 in the afternoon.
Senator Jones will bring story ct the
benefits of prohibition to great seaport
city like Seattle. He will also tell of the
tremendous reversal of sentiment in the
cities of the West on prohibition question
as evidenced by the fact that, when the
states of Washington, Oregon and Colo
RADIO went dry in 1915, Denver, Seattle
and Portland gave large wet majorities;
but when in 1916, after ten months Of
prohibition, an effort was made by the
vets to weaken the prohibition laws in
these three states, all of these cities
gave overwhelming majorities for pro-
hibition.
Senator Jones is a forceful speaker
and comes with all the breeziness of the
West and filled with tremendous enthu-
siasm for the dry movement. The meet
ing is for men only. Admission free.

London, Jan. 2O.-A portion Of
the area of London was shaken Sc
verely last night when chemical
plant in which munitions were man
ufactured was the centre of series
of explosions, scattering destruction
over a considerable section of the
district in which the works were To-
Gated. There is no evidence that the
explosion was other than the result of
a fire such as that to which any fac
tory is subject.
The Capitalization of the Volcano
like upheaval was in the heart OF the
working district OF a suburban town.
At 6.45 p. NJ. a selies of explosions
suddenly transformed the works into
fiery furnace and great masses OF
burning liquid and timber and red
hot iron were hurled high in the air.
Mingled with the deafening crash OF
beams and Orders were cries from
the working people.

Bid Case In Court.

The Frederick county court has before
it this week big case brought over
from Washington county for settlement.
The case in question is that of j. W..
Myers & Co., of Hagerstown, against the
Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Company
for losses sustained by Myers & Co. in
Hagerstown December IL, 1915, at which
time one of their warehouses was de-
stroyed by fire.
The point involved in this case is
whether fire in the building caused it to
collapse, or whether the building was
over loaded and collapsed and caught
from matches stored therein. The de-
tense will contend that the building fell
first and caused the fire, while the plain
tiffs claim that the fire was the cause of
the collapse of the structure. The in
surance policy states that if the building
should fall before fire, no insurance is
recoverable.
The insurance on this building and con-
tents was ST, 252. 80, divided among "a
companies. The amount claimed to be
due by the Pennsylvania Company is
$2,675.41. But one company interested
has paid claims.
The attorneys for Myers and Company
are Albert J. Long, Leon R. Yourtree,
of Hagerstown; Mr.. Brodie, of Baltimore,
Milton &. Urner, ST.. and Coblentz and
Matthias, of Frederick. The counsel for
the defense are Haman, Cook, Markell
and Chestnut, of Baltimore; Lane and
Keedy, of Hagerstown, and John S. New
man, of Frederick.
