PHILOSOPHERS VIEW CT LIFE
Mr.. Gosiington Tells How S gat Of
Funeral Procession Brings Re-
fections That uplift.

"As A rule" said Mr.. Goslington, y
take cheerful view, Perhaps when
get to be older I shall be more dole
full. but II would he hard for me to be
that way now. For MS far as I've got
life has been pretty good to me. !
have had my little setbaclss and now
and then real jolt. but on the whole
my lot has been happy.
"1'rue hive not accumulated for
tune, but have had work to do and
/ have earned living. ! might say a
comfortable living; and have been
blessed with good health. And so for
me all nature smiles and men are
friendly and the world Is pleasant
place to live in; ] take a cheerful
yiew--as a rule.
"But will admit that I do have
spells, not of sheer dcspCndency--l
would not say that. but times when !
am depressed, when things go wrong.
when adverse happenings have all but
discouraged me; times when ! totally
forget what we should In such days
always remember, nAlnely. that there
never yet was a storm but cleared of
some time. to leave everything bright
and sunsliny as before: there are
times, I say. when even !. usually so
cheerful, am d0wncast.
when thus oppressed ! find great
help In funeral professions.
"As the solemn cortege passes cam
not but reflect that I still have the
one great priceless gift and blessing
life, with all ifs hopes and opportuni-
ties; and SO, with all respect and sor-
row for the dead, In this presence my
own petty troubles vanish, the clouds
roll back nnd the sun comes out clear
and strong again.--New York Sun.

There Is on record conversation
that Mark Twain had with kipling, In
which the former discoursed on the
conscience. The story Is told by Kip
ling. He reports Twain rs saying:
"A conscience Is like child. If you
pet It and play with 1t and let II have
everything that II wants Il becomes
spoiled and intrudes on all your amuse-
ments and most Of your griefs. Treat
your conscience as you would treat
anything else. When II rebels spank
it---be severe with II, prevent Its COM
Ing 10 play with you at all hours. pnd
you will secure a good conscience; !;
that Is to say, a properly trained one.
A spoiled one simply destroys the
pleasures Of life. | think that hive
reduced mine tosorler, At least have
not heard from 1t for some time. Per
haps have killed II from severity.
It's wrong to kill child, but In spite
of all l have said conscience differs
from a child In many ways. Perhaps
It's best when It is dead"

sToRvs VISIT 70 SCOTLAND
neeprd Of BirG's Appearance In 1915
" y Be Found In Chronicles Of
the Country.

'I'he white stork Of the continent Of
Eurape, which Is encouraged In moot,
md even protected In some, Of the
countries to which II resorts to breed.
and round which much story and leg
end have gathered. has been known
for centuries to be an occasional vls-
itor to the British isles, chiefly to Nor
folk, but very rarely to Scotland,
though II has never been known to
nest or even attempt to do so In Brit.
ain.
However, a record Of Its having
nested In Scotland appears in Good
all's edition Of the Standardization"
This work was begun by John For
dun, who died about 1884, and was
continued by Walter Bower. the abbot
Of Inchcolm. 1t is in Bowers chron-
icles for 1416 that the story appears.
The translation runs thus:
"In the year Of our Lord, four.
teen hundred and sixteen, there died
on the morrow Of the birth of st. John
the Baptist, Master James Biset, prior
OF st. Andrews. In this same year,
n pair of storks came to Scotland and
nested on top of the church Of ST.
Giles Of Edinburgh and dwelt there
throughout a season of the year; hut
to what place they flew away thereaf-
ter no one knows"
Commenting on this. Lord Lagle
Clarke says: "The church of st, Giles,
on which the storks nested, was new
stone edlfce commenced In 1887. to re-
place a former church destroyed in
1885. and some OF II doubtless forms
part of the cathedral Of today"

WILSON TO SPEAK
BEFORE THE SENATE
THURSDAY At NOON
WILL TALK ON PEACE
TREATY AND LEAGUE OF
NATIONS.

Washington, July 7.-President Will
son will address the senate on the peace
treaty and the League of Nations at
1915 p. m. Thursday, it was announced
today at the White House. Because a
treaty would be under discussion, some
doubt had been expressed as to wheth-
er the senate would be in open session,
but it was understood that Mr. Wilson
desired that the session be open.
1T has not yet been determined defi
nitely when the president will start his
trip around the country to speak for
the peace treaty and the League of Ma
tions. There are indications, however,
that he probably will not leave before
the middle of next week. He was in
vited by wireless to deliver his first ad-
dress to the Methodist centenary in
Columbus, Ohio. but he replied that he
felt it was impossible for him to leave
Washington before the centenary ended
next Sunday.
Numerous invitations have been ex
tended to the president from various
sections of the country. but none has
been accepted. 1t was explained that
the itinerary had not been finally de
termined upon.
When the president reaches Wash
ington late tomorrow night he will find
an accumulation of official business
awaiting his attention. Bills awaiting
his signature include the sundry civil
measure. with the shipping board and
other huge appropriations; the army
measure, the navy bill, the agricultural
bill with its rider repeating the day
light-saving law. the deficiency bill, the
vocational educational measure and a
number of others.
Six members of the presidents cabi-
net will greet him at New York and
accompany him to Washington. They
will leave Washington this afternoon
and will go to sea tomorrow morning on
the battleship Pennsylvania to meet the
George Washington. In the party will
be Secretaries Baker, Daniels, Glass.
Lane and Wilson and Attorney-General
Palmer.
President Wilson is due to reach
Washington between 10 and IL o'clock
tomorrow night. After brief welcoming
ceremonies at Union Station, the presi'
dent will go direct to the White House.

OHIO CENSOR BOARD
BARS EXHIBITION OF
TOLEDO FIGHT FILM

Columbus, Ohio. July THE VIII
lard Dempsey fight pictures may new
er be seen by the public. In Ohio. at
least, they will not be placed on ex
hibition. The Ohio censor board to-
day officially rejected the pictures as
being unfit to be exhibited in public.
The probability of the pictures be-
ing shown i'm other states is believed
to depend upon the construction placed
upon. the Rodenberg act, which prohib
its prizefight pictures being handled
in interstate commerce.
If the Rodenberg act does not bar
pictures of boxing bouts and the VIII
lard-Dempsey flight is constructed un-
der the act as a boxing bout, then it
is believed here that the pictures may
be shown in other states if approved
by the state censor boards.
Under the Ohio state law, the fight
was considered n boxing bout.
