THE THINGGS WORTH WHILE.

At any rate. I believe there is soms
benehcent power can draw on"
The thought OF this power sustained
her during the day.
That night she marveled. Il wonder
II I can keep going on?" she whis-
pered and she was tempted 20 fan
into sadness again ss she thought OF
the long procession OF days ahead OF
her with the possibilities in the way
Of anguish.

day, why can't Il sustain me for al
the days. she asked herself ana
with the question there came an In
crease of courage. And as q goes
on sustaining me why can't I grow
stronger and stronger and meet life
without fear7"
At that moment she felt like the
strongest woman alive. She was
tempted 20 laugh aloud.
II was as II she had broken into a
new and beautiful world.
Now that ] am inside" she re-
hected. II must make a place for my

But she persevered, turning them an
into sources Of power and looking
back on them with surprise mingled
with amusement
As q rule, she felt confident. She
rejoiced in the thought that she was
engaged in the greatest Of all enter
prises. She kept making new dis
coveries. opening up in the most un-
expected places springs OF peace and
happiness.
Often she marveled al the way Ghe
had regarded life IN the past. both
when she had fancied she was happy
and when she was living with despair
Most OF all she marveled at the
dread she had felt when che faced
the procession of days.
Now she thought OF the day with
Joy.
Each day was an adventure,
One morning she woke 20 ind that
the things she had once most val
Ued in the world offered themselves
to her again.
She looked at them with amaze

without you. But there IL no real
life without those other things"
She went through that day in q
festive mood.
She had discovered that the best
things in the world were the things
that any one could have for the
asking and that never could be taken
away.

A woman faced the world with a
smile of confidence.
For her life was 70 be one con-
tinuous victory.
Life looked on and said nothing.
The woman took her way, rejoicing
striking down those that opposed
her, making enemies, but winning ad-
miration for her daring.
One day life gave her q blow.
She shivered under II and covered
her face with her hands.
When she looked out on the world
again she saw that the things she
had most valued there were gone.
She felt that life had nothing left
for her.
She fen into despair.
Each morning as she woke the
woman would say TO herself: Another
day 10 be lived through"
She would rise heavily and with re-
luctance that she could overcome only
With an effort she would prepare to
go into the world that she had once
loved.
Sometimes she would think: IT /
could only sleep my life away"
What she dreaded most OF all was
the pity of those who had once ad-
mired her.
One day the woman grew desperate.
IF had the courage / should end
it," she said in a whisper.
The words terrified her.
She was afraid that some day she
might have the courage.
She must do something 70 make
life endurable.
When she reached this point she
heard a voice. coming APPARENTLY from
the depths Of her mind. saying:
Now you are ready to begin"
Then there is hope for me?" the
woman said, as she stood motionless,
There is always hope"
But the world outside there"
1T is what you have created for
yourself
Life IL so terrible"
''It is what you have made it
Can l change it,
You can change yourself"
"Oh, tell me, tell me what to DO"
The voice was silent.
Il must be growing fanciful. i"
thought the woman. My unhappi-
ness may be affecting my mind"
Nevertheless. she felt better.
For the first time in what seemed
to her an endless period she felt there
might be hope for her.
The days when she had been happy
she now looked back on as il they
belonged 10 another life.
All she asked now was that she
might be free from torment
The next morning when she woke
she found herself sinking into the old
depression. But she rose quickly
eager TO get back into the world. She
had a task TO perform there.
They say that God helps" she
thought. Perhaps he will help me

Hoan to Hun.

Milwaukee is loyal city despite the fact that
a great proportion of its population is of German
origin.
Daniel w. Hoan, Socialist mayor, who is rum
ming for reelection on anti-war platform, was
recently removed from the craftsmanship of the
administration committee of the Milwaukee County
Council of Defense because of his refusal to re-
pudiate the stand of the Socialist party. Mayor
Hoan declares that he will continue to serve on
the council despite the action removing him.
One OF the planks in Mayor Hoans platform
reads; The American people did not want and
do not want this war. They plunged into
this abyss by the treachery OF the ruling class Of
the country, its demagogic sgtators, its bought
press, its sensational photoplays, its lying adver-
tisements and other purchasable instruments Of
public expression"
Mayor Hoan is also aiding the Senatorial cam
paign of Victor Berger, who is running on a plat
from demanding the immediate withdrawal Of
American soldiers from France. Mayor Hoan was
elected two years ago through a combination of
Socialists and nonpartisan votes
Milwaukee citizens who voted for Mayor Hoan

purely for political reasons. but it
is significant to the rest of the ma

lengths the Republicans will go to
win the Congress this fall. 1t Is
said by those who know that the
Democratic candidate was urged to
take the same step. but a conference
called to tell him what to do and
what not to do. elected to have him
refuse to take this stand. The
