NARCOTIC.

The habit of reading for amuse-
ment becomes with thousands of peo-
pie exactly the same kind of habit as
wine-drinking or opium-smoking; 1t
is like a narcotic, something that
helps to pass the time, something
that keeps up a perpetual condition
of dreaming, something that eventu-
ally results in destroying all capacity
for thought, giving exercise only to
the surface parts of the mind, and
leaving the deeper springs of feeling
and the higher faculties Of percep-
ton unemployed. = = 8 The result of
all this reading means nothing but
a cloudiness in the mind. That is the
direct result. The indirect result is
that the mind has been kept from de-
veloping itself. All the development
necessarily e some pain and such
reading Is we speak of has been en-
Eployed unconsciously as a means to
avoid that pain, and the consequence
is atrophy.

What we want to know is, does the

The Federal and state governments

the plan.
The returning soldier will have his
choice. Of prairie or timber land; he
will be told in advance the use for
which the land is best adopted, wheth-

It is proposed to settle the land on

It is not proposed to give the land

.EMULATES HORATlUS> OF OLD
Chaplain Holds the Bridge as BraveII
as Did the Roman
Captain.

Cleveland, O.-"Horatius at the
Bridge" had nothing on Rev. James M.
Hanley of Cleveland, chaplain Of a reg.
iment in France. According to stories
drifting back from the front, the chap
lain was wounded while holding q
bridge the Huns sought to take. AS 1t
is related here by friends of the for
mer priest, a captain and a few SOL
diers were detailed to hold the bridge
against heavy odds. The captain said
1t couldn't be done without more men.
'Why, can hold that bridge with q
club" Hanley Is said to have declared.
'Then do It," the captain answered
as he hurried off for re-enforcements.
The soldiers, inspired by the action
of the chaplafn, rallied around him and
held the contested bridge until the
