INSPIRED At ODD MOMENTS
Brilliant Thoughts That Have Come
- to Men 81 Genius in Their 7
Hours of Repose


There is a photograph, with, which
most of us are no doubt familiar, Of
Mark Twain at work in bed-holding
his writing pad on, his knees, and
having the things he needed for his
labor disposed about on tables on
either side. But the idea of working
in bed was not original with Mark.
Many eminent men before him, did
the same thing, writer in the Phila-
delphia Ledger says. Indeed, no. small
part Of the worlds literary treasure
has been produced between the sheets
by physical, indolent although men,
tally active men of genius. w. -
One Of the best known lines in Eng
lish poetry came into Its authors head
when he was actually asleep. While
visiting at Mimic, Thomas Campbell
one evening went to bed early, with
his mind full Of a new poem. About
2 o'clock in the morning he suddenly
awakened repeating, Events to come
cast their shadows before Ringing
the bell sharply, he summoned ser
want. The man found Campbell with
one foot in bed and one on the floor.
"Are you Ill, sir?" he asked. ~,
II was never better in my life," said
the poet Leave the candle and bring
me cup Of tea"
Selling his pen he put down the
happy thought, changing 'events to
come" into Coming events" and over

does the poetic instinct and native
refinement traced so deeply IN the
story of her illustrious past, dis
plays her delicate and precious gifts
in the pleasing and beautiful char
acteristics of her most humble child
The freshness and vitality OF her
thought, the clear exposition OF IL
which comes from her as a natural
capacity and the fascination of the
speech which expresses the inmost
carvings of her heart, have to be
encountered before they can be ap-
preciated. And those potential gifts
were never so much apparent as
they are at the present day, when
they are being used in the service
of that undying aspiration which
fills her breast and for the effective
voicing of that persistent demand
for the renovation and reconstruc-
ton of the shattered fabric of her
national life. To the accompani-
ment of the pleading of her seers
she repeats what is in her heart,
again and again, and to support her
she hears the echoing eloquence of
silver-tongued orators whose names
are engraved too deeply on her soil
to be forgotten. The realization of
what is in her regard essential to
her well-being Is all the more
urgent because OF the virile and
active life that throbs in her breast.
Ground down in the past by OPP
preston. she issues versatile and
scornful-versatile because Injured
to the experience of many vicis-
STUDIES: scornful because she has
such faith in herself that she looks
beyond her own confines for moth
ing that she needs and because she
moves in an atmosphere that is so
lofty and ennobling that she detests
the corrupting influence of those
who come to defile and degrade her.
Out of her agony Ireland has
emerged with a mind that is free
and a will that Is unconquerable.
On all sides one sees the marks of
her long night Of pain. But she is
to show them, and when
they are spoken about by her elo-
quent spirits 1t is because she can
not hold them back, not because
she pushes them forward Her ris-
ing and her falling have combined
to constitute her glory and her
shame. but out of her greatness and
splendor and her humiliation she
comes forth a nation still young and
strong"

THE IRISH DAY

Monday win be the seventeenth
day of March. No need for stating
in whose honor this day has been
set apart by the Catholic church to
commemorate his respondent vir-
tues and his heroic deeds, the
effects of which have made them
selves felt during the centuries
down to the present hour. In all
English-speaking countries it is
known alike to Catholics and non
Catholics, TO men and women Of the
Irish race and to men and women
who can not trace their blood to
that race. In the worlds history
few are the mon who leave the inn
press of their character upon sue
ceeding generations and thereby
make their influence felt centuries
after the grave has received their
mortal remains. Among these few
St. Patrick stands out conspicuous.
Almost fifteen centuries have rolled
by since this hero Of the cross land
ed on the shores of Ireland ami
mated with the high purpose OF con-
verting a whole nation to Chris
tianity. 1t was a noble mission,
nobly carried out.
Twenty years UNAbAt dNAAtN Af~A
fled from the shores of Ireland as
a fugitive slave. The whilom slave
came back poorly equipped, from a
worldly point of view, for the
mighty work TO which he was TO
consecrate what of life was left TO
him. He had no financial resources
at his command. No wealthy for
eign missionary society, as in the
TDrrknrkanf rofaQfnr.
aries. stood ready to furnish him
with a plentiful supply OF money.
His only reliance was on the
truths he had come to preach to
the Irish in those far off days. The
people he sought TO win over to
Christianity were neither barbarious
nor illiterate. They had their own
laws, legislature, music, poetry and
manufactures. Above all they
were noted for a profound religious
spirit. In the Druids, their religious
teachers, they had spiritual leaders
of high intellectual ability--men
who were deeply versed In the
learning of their time. How Pat
rick overcame their opposition and
converted a whole nation to Chris
dainty without the shedding or a
drop of blood is a story well known
1t took Patrick sixty years to
finish his work. When he was
through with it he had performed
a task the beneficent result OF
which has perpetuated itself down
TO this year OF grace. 1919. 1t was
an Englishman, Cardinal Manning
who in a sermon delivered in Rome
on st. Patrick's day, 1871, paid to
the successful labors of him whose |
memory on every recurring ami ,
versary of his death is honored by |
the Irish race in every quarter OF
the globe this glowing tribute: "The
name OF no apostle or evangelist |
carries with it a wider influence

An Irishman once asked London
policeman: How can / reach k1ne
William street," and the bobby an
swered:
you can take a cab, or you can
take a bus, or as 1t is only zoo
yards from here you can walk.
"Oh," said Pat. with one OF his
best smiles, "bedad, know that;
but what want to know is the
way"
After being instructed he put his
hand in his pocket, as If 10 reward
him, and asked: "Wdll you take a
drink"
The policeman having expressed
his hearty willingness, the Irishman
said: well. you had better go ana

either pay for it yourself, get some
wan else to pay for It. or take 1t
without paying for It."

NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Investigators

sponsible for the high cost Of living

rect financiers.
"a correspondent of the United Press
tterviewed several of the biggest

cir ideas on the high cost Of living.
Dough the financial men refused to
low their names used, they were free
their opinions.
The general Concensus is that the
an who started the war is RESPONSE

the surplus on the market causes COM

down. Until we produce more, and
until Europe produces more, prices
will remain high.
wall street Is not surprised at the
very high prices and the unrest all
over the country. The financial inter
ests anticipated and expected this
trouble. Similar disturbances have
occurred after every war of impor-
lance. Look back at the period fol-
lowing the civil war. The only diff
ference is that the present catastrophe
is greater than any previous one, and
will be more difficult to re-adjust."
The bankers interviewed were not
in sympathy with the agitation and
legislation in Washington. Wall street
considers it an ineffective way Of feed.
ing the hungry, and generally accuses
the legislators of playing for pub
licity.
The economic situation will adjust
itself along the good ola fashioned
lines OF the laws Of supply and de-
mand according to the financiers, who
feel that nothing else under the sun
can serve as a real remedy, though
they admit that certain legislative
moves can be injected as temporary
stimulants.

SCHOOLS LIKE
NEW SYSTEM
Division Of Year Into Four Equa
Semesters Finds Favor With
Trustees of Iowa
Schools.

The plan OF dividing the school
year into four quarters is being taken
UP by an increasing number OF col
leges and universities At least three
of the larger institutions in Iowa
have adopted the system, these being
the state university, Drake univer-
sity and Des Moines college.
The quarter system has been used
for years by the University Of Chi
cago, but only during the last few
years has 1t interested any consider
able number of the other schools OF
the country
The plan offers good many ad
vantages to the student. AS the
school year ordinarily consists OF
nine months, the other three months
are devoted to the vacation period, OIL
to a summer session under the old
two-semester plan.
A student attending school using
the new quarter plan may attend
regular classes during the summer
months If he so desires. Hence the
twelve quarters in regular four
year course may be completed by a
student in three years
The quarter system has another
advantage. Instead of being able to
enter school only at the beginning
Of semester, the student may enter
at the beginning of any quarter and
still keep pace with his classes.

Tobacco Habit
Dangerous

says Doctor Common, formerly of Johns
Hopkins hospital. Thousands of men
suffering from fatal diseases would be
in perfect health today were 1t not for
the deadly drug Nicotine. Stop the
habit now before it's too late. It's a
simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. Just go
to any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol tablets; take them as
directed and 10; the perniciou5 habit
quickly yanishes. Druggists refund the
money if they fail. Be sure to read
large and interesting announcement
by Doctor Connor soon to appear in
this paper. 1t tells of the danger of
nicotine poisoning and how to avoid
it. In the meantime try Nicotol tab
lets; you will be surprised at the re-
suits.
