PHILOSOPHY OF MAIN CHANCE
Lonely Bachelor Realizes Mistake In
Not Welcoming Both Joy and
Sorrow Into His Life.

1 read story in a current magazine
today. And after I read q certain
part OF 1T I laid the magazine down,
and too, looked far away. But
looked past the printed page into n
damp, dimly lighted trolley car-and
into the heart of my friend who feared
to grasp a vision, Margaret E. Sang
ster writes in the Christian Herald.
In the story wealthy old bachelor
was telling his reason for never hav-
ing married.
II began to wonder" he said,
whether there was any advantage in
marrying at all. 1 saw a lot of peo-
pie who were wretchedly unhappy to-
gether, and even more wretched after
they had dissolved their matrimonial
ties. discovered that marriage usu-
ally meant children, anxiety, sickness
and death. 1 took counsel of my fears.
Why fall in love and marry If by doing
so was going to expose myself to the
arrows of outrageous fortune? My
parents were both dead. Sorrow
couldn't touch me. Why invite unhap-
piness? If l had no family l should
worry about-and when died nobody
would suffer agonies Of bereavement
on my account. So 1 shut myself up
In my shell and built an iron wall
around my affections to keep out sor-
row.
Il was fool! What wouldn't
give now to have had sorrowl Many's
the time I've envied my friend with
dead child. Pain and joy 60 hand
In hand. Deaden your capacity for
one and you lose the other. Today I'd
rather have had year or so with a
woman 1 had loved and have lost her
than to be what ana lonely, child
less, wifeless, friendless old man."
read the paragraph over. And
then took 1t to a man know-I call
him sometimes, to myself, the philoso-
pher.
II think" he told me, that the
reasoning is quite right!
There's an old proverb that COW
| ers the whole thing. 1 think. "Tis
better to have loved and lost than
never to have loved at allv The word
love isn't the only one that will fit
into that proverb. You can put live
in place of love, or known or feltv
II think" said, that you're right.
IT'S BETTER" I mused, "to have lived,
to have known, to have loved-and
| lost"
You KNOW" said the philosopher,
"that every chance isn't losing
chance. Some people live and know
and feel and love without losingW

High Individual Morale.

The reason why morale Is necessary
In times Of peace as we'll as in war is
that the morale of no army can be
higher than the individual morale of
the men, declares San Antonio Light.
GhersSorH the very best soldiers are
those recruited from civil life who
have every day morale-the men who
do things, who stand fearlessly for
what they believe to be right, who
are undismayed by opposition and ap-
parent defeat, and who accept life's
tribulations calmly, patiently and with
fortitude.
Men Of that stripe cannot be STAN
peded or confused in military affairs,
once they have been trained rs SOL
diers, just as in everyday life they
cannot be kept down by circumstances.
They are individually invincible and
hence when organized into an army
they are militarily invincible.
Therefore when you read Of an army
or military unit with q high morale
you know that the men In the ranks
and the officers over them are men OF
strong, dominant courage who meet
death calmly In the discharge Of their
military duty and who cannot be rout
ed nor overawed by the enemy, but
must be vanquished, If at all, by fight
ing.

Unshaken Testimony

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Union. No Union resident
who suffers backache, or annoying
kidney ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.
Mrs. F. B. Scott, Hix St., Union,
says: "My kidneys were in bad
shape and I suffered from dizzy and
nervous spells. My head ached, too
Finally 1 got Doan's Kidney Pills
from the Palmetto Drug Co., and
they relieved me-"

Liniments Will Never Cure

If you are afflicted with Rheuma-

lotions and other local applications
that never did cure Rheumatism, and
never will?
Do not try to rub the pain away,

sensible plan of finding the cause of
the pain, and go after that. Remove
the cause, and there can be no pain.
