Are You q DanQIer2

A dangler is one who bangles, that
is one who awaits the decisions Of
other people instead of choosing his
own course and making circumstances
conform to it. The dangler may be
found any day in the open market,
complaining because nobody hires him,
or her, as the case may be. Our most
celebrated and successful labOrers
asked no odds of anybody. They sim
ply went to work, somewhere, any
where that offered opportunity, and
then they helped to build up the COM
munity that supported them and so
became in time "grand old men," who
to undiscerning minds seemed to have
been wonderfully favored by fortune.
They did not dangle, but became the
strong supports upon which folk Of a
weaker sort leaned, and not In vain,
that virtue would come out Of them.

Of the latter nothing need here be said;
II is a matter Of practice. Each course
is brought on In large dish and placed
In the center Of the table. The service,
then, is simple; each person serves
himself, and the service is direct.
You will, and so will everybody else

food to your mouth, insert the sticks
into your mouth as far as you choose
and return to the center dish for more,

Origin of the Greek Church.

Apart from theological discussions,
such as those rising from the addition
Of the words, "and the son." in the
creed, the separation of the Latin and
Greek churches may be traced to the
founding of ConstantinOple and the
political division Of the Roman en-
pire, according to Bible student.
Ignatius, patriarch of ConstantinOple,
had been depOsed, and was succeeded
by PhOtius, who summoned a council
of the East In S67, and passed SEN
tence of accommodation on the bish-
op Of Rome. The churches became re-
united towards the end of the ninth
century. and remained SO until the
middle of the eleventh century, when
In 1854 Michael Cerularius, patriarch
Of the East. renewed the condemna-
ton of the Latin church, and was In
turn accommodated by Pope Leo
TX. Efforts toward reunion were
made from time to time, and at Fer
rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed
a decree of union, but were forced
by the people and clergy to repudiate
1t. Since then the two communions
have remained separate.

TEN RULES FOR DISLOYALISiS
"oermsn Efficiency" Applied to Pro
motion Of Traitorous Propaganda
at Least Personal Risk.

Pro-kaiser and anti-war propagan-
dists reveal their lack of German eff
cheney" In the frequency with which
they get themselves pummeled or
-plnched."
In the interest of more efficiency,
the Independent has condensed the
methods of the most successful practi-
TONERS of dlsloyai;y into ten rules
for carrying on traitorous propaganda
at least personal risk.
Most of all of these rules so accur-
ately describe the arguments which
nearly everybody has heard from one
or more of the traitorous-minded that
they are worth frequent perusal. The
rules are:
I. Assert on every occasion that
"Wall street, made the war. Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
2. Get In all the sneers you can at
any profession Of Ideal motives. "
you can find any flaw In our democ-
racy say that 1--WE are just as bad an
autocraey as Germany" Place the
war In as sordid a light as possible.
8. II is dangerous to denounce the
United States directly. But rake his
tory from end to end for mud to throw
at the allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail.
a. Profess great concern lest send
ing food to Europe will starve Amer
lea. Support every embargo movement
that applies to tho allied nations and
none that does not

tension Of power rave about dictator

ties for which our fathers, ETC."
6. Spread rumors that the allies are
going to betray W or take advantage
Of us az soon AZ we are deeply enough
involved In The war.
7. Accept eonseriptlon In principle
but hamper It's working In every pos
sibIe way. One gsod way 10 to start
scares about revolutions and internal
disorder as a pretext for keeping q
large part Of the army at home.
8. Demonstrate that the enemy ls
unconquerabIe and victory hopeless.
Play the "candid friend" and act as a
depressant.
9. Be very Jealous to prevent ZEN
tangIing alliances" and be much con-
cerned about the Monroe doctrine II
we mix ourselves In European quar-
rels." A permanent league Of nations
would embarrass your junker friends
II they remain in power after the war.
Germany can only hope to conquer
other nations IL they act seIflsh'y and
In isolation.
10. WHEN DRIVEN TO MAKE AN
UNEQUIVOCAL STATEMENT PRO-
TEST YOUR LOYALTY AND THEN

Cut this out and hand it to the next

to start an argument.

ALL WILLING TO PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens Of Lima, Peru,
Do Not Seek to Evade Their
Street Car Obligations.

If fare registers were to be placed
in the street cars of Lima, Peru, there
would be loud protest. This is not
because 1t Is easier to dodge the con-
ductor under the prevailing system.
On the contrary. the travellers of Lima
are willing, even anxious, to pay their
fares. Perhaps that doesn't seem hui
man, but the explanation Is that upon
receipt Of the fare a numbered ticket
lis presented to the passenger, and 1t
is a valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are divided into four
sections for the monthly and semi
monthly drawings conducted by the
railway company. In the three impor-
tant sections cash prize of $3.50 is
offered. The fourth section offers a
prize of $50.
Does the public approve of the lot
terry? Does 1t? Well 2S,500,O00 per-
sons rode last year. .

THREE AND SEVEN ARE LUCKY
Mystic Numbers, According to Popular
Superstition, Bring Forth Good
and Bad Luck.

There Is said to be luck in odd num-
bers, and there are prudent farmers
wives who are careful to put an odd
number of eggs under hen for hatch
ing. OF course the fatal thirteen is
an exception to the rule.
Three is considered especially
lucky, but there are superstitions of
bad luck connected with it. For in
stance: Break one dish and you will
break three. Three times a brides
maid, never a bride. There is a belief
IN certain sections that when fire
occurs there will be two others, max
ing three inside of "a hours. 1t is
succession it will come true. An ex-
ception to the rule that even numbers
are not lucky Is the common belief
that the finding of four-leaved Glow
err will bring good fortune.
Seven is one of the luckiest of num-
bers. The seventh son is considered
natural healer, while the seventh
son of a seventh son has almost I'M
limited power to work wonders.
Keep thing seven years and you will
have use for it. If you are the sew
enth person having your fare rung up
after a street car has started on its
trip you will have good luck all day.
1t will bring good luck to walk over
seven rails on the railroad track with
out stepping off.
You will have good luck for the year
the figures of which added up make
your age. Thus 1917 added up makes
eighteen.
