The Psychology of the Firms.

A;1o Malmberg, in Finland Sentinel.
There is much in the present d%eplorabie
state of things in Finland that can be at
least partly understood. ii we are familiar
with certain characteristics of the peonle.
FINLAND is u very sparsely populated
country. full of large forests and thous-
:'nds of lakes and islands. The summers
are short but intense, with hardly any
nights at all. and the winters are long
and severe. with darkness and cold pre-
vaillng. 1t is Il country where the PEG
pie naturally become dreamers and
philosophers. The Films have always
been known to possess those qualities. In
cluen days they were believed to be DOW
erful wizards and magicians: at present
they are only called drcamers. They love
10 ponder over deep questions and to build
philosophical theories. And when they
once get hold of IN idea. they never drop
1t until they ave drawn the utmost con
sequences out of that idea. In other words.
the Films as q rule will go to the extreme
iii all their theories. We find proofs @.
this in every popular movement in Fin
land. The Films throw themselves heart
and soul, into the fight OF the hour ana
everything else ceases to exist for them
There is only one thing to live and to die
for: the popular movement OF the day.
So. for instance. In the middle Of the last
century an exceedingly strong religious
revival, known as the Pfetist movement
swept over Finland. 1t was not enough
for its adlierents to accept innumerablc
rules and dogmas on spiritual matters.
they went SO far us to decide how every
body was to dress who wanted to go ia
heaven The women had to wear hlne
dresses with white stripes and the men
dressed in short gray jackets of a special
shape! Anyone who did not wear the uni
form was doomed to & straight to hell.

got away. Collar her!"

M. Desmaiions came hurrying
up. Meeting the deputy, he re-
ccived his explanations and then
went on to Florcnce's room. The
opc1. window looked out on a
small inner yard, u sort Of we'll
which served to ventilate a part
of the house. Some rain pipes
ran Gown the wall. Florence must
have let herself down by them.
But what GOODNESS and what al,
indomitablc will she must have
displayed to make her escapc in
this manner!
The detectives had already dis
tributcd themselves on every side
TO bar the fugitive road. Ii soon
became manifest that Florence.

which happened to be the mother
su%perlor's; that she had put on

guised, she had passed unnoticed
through the very men who were
pursuing her.
They rushed outside. But it was
now dark; and every search was
bound to be in vain in so populous
Il quarter.
The Project Of Police made no
effort TO conceal his displeasurc.
Don Luis was also greatly disap-
pointed at this flight, which
thwarted his plans, and enlarged
openly upon Wcber's lack of skill.

Florence herself led the way.
But, as Weber was leaving the
room, Don Luis exclaimed:
"Take care, Deputy Chief!''
STake care? Why?"
II don't KNOW" said Don Luis,
who really could not have said
why Florence's behavior was
making him uneasy. II don't
know. Still, l warn you--n
Weber shrugged his shoulders
and, accompanied by the superior,
moved away. In the hall he took
two men with him. Florence
walked ahead. She went up a
flight Of stairs and turned down
a long corridor, with rooms on
either side Of it, which, after turn
ing a corner, led to a short and
very marrow passage ending in a
door.
This was her room. The door
lopened not inward, into the room,
but outward, into the passage.
Florence therefore drew it to her,
stepping back as she did so, which
obliged Weber to do likewise. She
took advantage of this to rush
in and close the door behind her
so quickly that the deputy, when
he tried to grasp the handle,
merely struck the air.
He made an angry gesture:
THE baggage! She means to
burn some papers!" And, turn

Regulate
Your Kidneys

The kidneys and liver are the body s
organs to carry off waste and poison.
When they don't work, bad health fol-
lows, and unless you take care of yourself,
disease may follow beyond the power Of
medicine TO cure.
Because of the seriousness Of these
diseases, you should take Vim Hepatica,
the universal system purifier, at the
earliest sign of any trouble with bowels or
liver. This great nature medicine is COM
posed of eight of the most powerful cura-
tive herbs, and the certainty with which
they restore kidneys, the liver and bowels
to natural, healthy action is attested by
thousands who have bS6k helped. when
all other remedies and treatment proved
valueless.
f. M. Cawthorn, a prominent farmer
and stockman Of Mt. Juliet, Tenn, says
that after taking Vim Hepatica he felt
like wagon that had been oiled up and
put in fine running condition.

right, 1t is simply scandalous the
way the Washers and dudes are

while this paper was left temporar-
lily in charge of the horse editor,
he inserted an item to the effect
that we had gone over to Hot Wa
ter Springs to capture a $40,0UO

our horse editor is wrong. The
100000 widow turned out to be
plain every day widow with less
than two hundred plunks hidden
away in an old teapot on the top
shelf of the pantry. We had no
proposition to make. As editor of
the Torchlght, we are straight
business. The drop from $4,000
to 5000 was a little too much for
US.
