ALLIGATOR IS FOUND

basin in the Grant Park zoo and
can now sun himself all day long
without frightening anybody.

Alligator and the sewer hole the 9TH

the alligator ever got in the sewer

THINGS THAT ARE BETTER
THAN WE UNDERSTAND
BY George Matthew Adams

Much of our daily effort is wrapped
in kind of secret covering.
We strive toward hoped for things.
But we are never wholly sure that
they will come to us as expected. Yet
how many times we are able to say
in our hearts that the result was far
better than we planned or expected.
Most things are better than we pres
emily understand them to be.
General Grant settled down to be a
country store keeper in small middle
west town. The Future looked very
dark. But it was better than he even
dared to imagine! For soon he was
to leaG great armies for an intensely
sacred cause-and later TO be presi-
dent of the greatest free nation in
history.
Time is really too precious to waste
in questionings. The secret of your
strength lies largely in your ability to
decide and then to wait the results
feeling sure that they will be all right
if you have done the best you knew.
Most people are much better than
we understand them to be.
We must remember that final judg-
ment must not be made from appear
ances or from glance at surfaces.
The number of fish in body of water
cannot be told by it's depth or by its
outside surroundings.
People are all the time giving up
positions of great advantage because
they do not take into consideration
the fact that they may stand on strong
er soil than they think.
Before you blame or censure, try
hard to understand-and before YOU
make too radical a move, try to re-
member that your present place may
be much better than you understand.
Move in confdence-and feed your
heart upon much hope!

RUMORS OF WAR

One day the Russians hunt their
holes, pursued by fierce, triumphant
Poles; the next the Poles are on the
run, spurred on by Russian sword and
gun. And, as I dope myself for govt,
l wonder what it's all about. There's
trouble brewing everywhere, and war
like rumors fill the air. I thought,
when closed the three-ring war,
Peace is the thing we're yearning
for; the whole blamed world is sick
of gore, and weary Of the lannon's
roar, and tired of human tears and
groans, and Of the sight Of bleaching
bones. The nations all would speed
the pillow and set the hen and milk the
COW, pursue the gentle arts of peace,
and bid the yawping captains cease"
But now the Pole pursuessthe Russ
and makes most unseemly fuss; and
now the Russ pursues the Pole, and
shoots him with a ton of coal; wher-
ever men infest the map, some tribes
are itching for scrap. And as feed
myself with kraut, l wonder what it's
all about. Why can't the blame fool
nations meet with friendly hearts, in
concord sweet, and settle all their
silly rows, and then go home to milk
the COWS? Why does 1.-THE Pole pursue
derbus? Why does the Russian swat
goal? Why don't they meet with
friendly grins, and shake the dice to
see who wins?

Don't Fail to Register

If you are barred from the polling booths
next month because you failed to register in
September or October, you will have no one to
blame but yourself.
Both parties are beseeching voters to enroll
their names. Monday, Oct. a, is the last day. If
you do not register then, you cannot cast vote
at the Forthcoming national election.
The issue is squarely up to you. No one can
compel you to register. No one will punish you
for your failure. If your citizenship means
something to you, your name will be on the reg
istration books Monday evening.

The Reunion of the Sixty-ninth Regiment


The Sixty-ninth Indiana always has occupied
a warm spot in the hearts of the residents of the
city. Not that the heroic service of other Indi-
ana volunteer regiments have been underesti-
mated, but because many of the Sixty-ninth came
from this community.
It's reunion today brought to the city many
of the old fighters, who more than SO years ago,
young in years, strong and buoyant, departed
from here for service in the Union army. The
lapse of half century has left it's traces on that
band of valiant men. Of those who returned
from the struggle, death has taken it's toll an
nually, so that today only few remain to gather
annually for renewal of the ties of comrade-
ship.
The veterans of the Sixty-ninth with an en-
vable record Of service performed for the re-
public, recalled today with pleasure the many in
cidents of their campaigns, and intensified the
bond Of friendship formed many years ago.
And as the old veterans gather from year to
year here and elsewhere, an increased feeling of
love and admiration for the survivors of that war
grows in our hearts. We hope the day will never
come when their services will be forgotten and
their memories blotted out. Rather do we hope
that the coming years will increase in manifold
volume our respect and love.
