IN TRIBUTE TO PAIN.


1t would be asking a good deal of
man suffering from p2in to be
thankful for his torment. And vet.
pain is usually the friend and not the
enemy of living creatures. The cause
of the pain is evil but the pain itself
is good. Like the rasping and irri-
tating sound of siren, it is q danger
signal and nature is irritating for
good purpose
That, briefly stated, is the reason
why Conscientious physicians con-
denim all persons who give patent or
other 'painkillers" without knowing
or caring what the cause Of the pain
may be. That is why they go slowly
in the use of their own hypodermic
syringes and, when a ''hypo" is abso-
lutely necessary, give only enough
OF the drug to make the patients con-
dition bearable.
One of the reasons why there are
fewer deaths, nowadays, from in
1ammatiOn of the bowels, than there
were years ago is because physicians
generally and patients commonly are
more respectful of pain than they used
to be. The fact has been we'll adver-
tised that colicky pains may be due
to appendicitis and if so it is the ap-
pendix and not the pain that needs
treatment.
And in the instance of severe
"tummyaches" of children it has been
learned by all physicians and many
mothers and fathers that removing
the cause is far more intelligent than
trying to relieve the effects. An ach-
ing stomach is "howling" to be emp
tied and allowed to rest and not to
have some awful smelling and worse
tasting concoction poured into it.
The highest intelligence demands
that the various causes of pain be
avoided, the next highest that they be
removed and not merely masked. In
warfare, camouf1age was designed to
fool the enemy, not the ally. Pain is
friendly detective from which wise
people will secure information of
sometimes obscure and always unfav-
orable conditions.

ECSTASY, LIFE'S PRIZE.
Bv DR. Frank Crane


The one prize of life is ecstasy the
one thing worth while, the pearl of
great price, which having found,
man will go and sell all he has. For
all that, it is difficult to define. Liter
thy it it standing OUT of ones self.
1t is as if the soul were a bright bird
made for wild attitudes and Gagged in
the body, as if it were kings young
son full of royal appetences but held
prisoner in cell with high windows.
There is no life SO contented but that
its highest contentment lies in its es-
cape.
1t is that ecstasy that is the mark
of great literature. The book that
finds me, is the book that makes me
forget myself. AS I read it | step
through magic door into another
world Why is it that all men love
themselves, yet love most to forget
themselves? We travel to get away,
to forget, and to travel in perfect Joy
because self always goes along. Per-
maps our purest joy is in dreams, for
nothing is so delicious as to live in
the impossible, to realize the i'm
probable, to escape the sentinels of
existence and mingle with the things
that are not. That element is the
drama which marks it as superior is
It's power of perfect illusion, when
for an hour we are swallowed up in
the mimic world, and these old con
fines of time and place are obliter-
ated.
lie is ecstasy that is the charm of
love. Love is not mere liking. 1t
is not a pleasure. 1t is not the tor
ment of desire nor it's qualification.
1t is transforming power, a power to
touch the soul with it's wizardry and
change its very nature, as wood is
changed to flame, as silence is chang
ed to beauty by the song of a bird.
All that is desirable in religion is
ecstasy. It's moralities are cold, its
restrictions are unpleasant, its creeds
are battling, but if it contains some
point that CLOVIS and makes life glow
1t draws us irresistably.
The spirit of man is a candle of
the Lord. If the candle will but burn
it is willingly consumed. No religion
has ever advanced that did not have
its secret of ecstasy.
Every soul has it's chosen ecstasy
its own door of escape. And you can
get the measure of any souls quality
and stature by the sort Of ecstasy it
selects. For some ecstasies are d.
vine and some are diabolical.

FORMER CRAWFORD COUNT
YITE CONFESSES TO MURDER.

Jamestown, N. D.-Mrs Eta Nc
DOnnell late today repudiated her
confession made early this morning
after three hour grilling, that she
and her husband, Daniel Mcdonnell,
had beaten their 12-year-old daugh-
ter, Eta, to death in their home near
Courtenay, Friday morning because
she had wet her bed.
Mrs. Mcdonnell denied that she
said her husband had become enraged
on discovery of the condition of the
bed and had beaten and kicked the
child into Inconsistencies, but adj
mitted that she had attacked the girl
with board ripped from an apple
box. Both Mcdonnell and his wife
are charged with first degree murder.
Fear of her husband, who insists
he had no hand in the tragedy, prompt
ed Mrs. Mcdonnell to retract her pre-
vious statement charging her hus-
band with responsibility for the
crime police authorities believed.
Both Mcdonnell and his wife were
bound over to the June term of dist
riot court without bail when arraigned
before Police Magistrate Murphy here.
Both waived examination
Neither prisoner appears to regret
the death of their little daughter.
Before being taken to the county
Jail for the night they were warned
by States Attorney Carr that should
Judge Coffey grant them bail in the
near future it would be best for them
TO keep away from Courtenay.
Sentiment is such at Courtenay
that if you return there you will be
lynched," he declared. ga necktie
party was narrowly averted Monday
and if you return I fear that senti-
ment will again spring into flame and
result disastrously for you both. -

ADVANTAGES AND
OBJECTIONS TO THE
TOWNSHIP SCHOOL

Some of the advantages which the
children of the proposed consolidated
district school, mentioned in recent
issues of this paper, would enjoy.
l. All children will be transported
every day in closed warmed wagons.
Think what this means to those who
live from one half to two miles from
school; especially during cold win
ter and the muddy spring months.
2. Think what this means in the
sum total of the education which these
children will get due to regula- at
tendance, better teachers, graded
schools, ideal building, uniform heat
ing, and sanitary conditions; in ev-
cry sense just as good as city chill
dren now enjoy, and why shouldn't
country children enjoy the same priv
ileges as city children? It is time we
were waking up to the fact that our
children are after all the most i'm
portant product of the farm, much
more important than the cattle, hogs,
etc. which are receiving such careful
attention these days, so why shouldn't
they have the best we can give them?
3. Children of six and seven years
of age who now cannot attend during
winter months could attend regular
ly.
Advantages to the armer.
1. The satisfaction that his chill
dren are getting better educational
advantages than his neighbours chill
dren in adjoining townships; yes, the
best possible.
2. With little thought one can
see that land values are bound to in
crease, because buyer always asks,
when contemplating buying, How
about your SCHOOL,"
3. No worry to the parents for
they know that their children will
get safely to school and safely home
again; no wet feet, no exposure, no
lingering and no quarreling on the
way.
4. A meeting place for all organi-
cations of the townships; a place for
entertainments, community meetings,
social gatherings of all sorts.
Objections to Consolidation.
1. 1t will cost too much.
Wherever tried the report
is much less," "The same" or cit
costs more but the schools are so
much better"
g. The roads are not suitable.
Answer-HOw many times during
the year are mail carriers prevented
from making their daily trips because
of the roads? Ask them. Roads are
being improved rapidly and to say
that children cannot be hauled is to
throw on them burden we are not
willing to put upon our horses.
8. The roads and weather are Of
ten unfit to take out team.
Answer-Shall the children or the
horses wade through the snow and
mud?
A. People do not want to part
with the old school because of senti-
mental reasons.
Answer-With the facts as against
sentiment, it is wise to accept facts.
This question of consolidation isn't
vision that | have of some impos-
sible ideal but is being done in doz-
ems of communities at the present
time The next article on this ques-
ton will be discussion on consolida-
ton giving specific instances where
it has been done and is now being
done successfully.
