Mystery
b. oRoRoE MATTHEW ADAleo

~ ND Of the most powerful Incen-
~ tives in human life is the Mys-
terry that is locked away as a sort OF
Gore, buried within every Thought
every Aspiration, every. Action.
It is the Mystery, that you cannot
understand, yet which exists in your
Friend, that makes that friend inter-
esting; it is the force Of Mystery in]
your business that keeps you constant-|
" at 1t, and for which you sacrifice
and tirelessly work.
It is the Mystery, all wrapped up In
every manifestation Of nature-it is
the Mystery that hangs like a dense
fog about the very thought Of Eternity
that makes 1t fascinating. It is the
element Of Mystery entering into every
avenue Of conscious life that makes
life really wonderful.
It is the inspiration Of Mystery that
10 able to Immediately fire and warm
your efforts and make your fondest,
dreams attainable, IL you will but stop
long enough to recognize this force
and make 1t save you. Periodically,
stop and consider for moment this
factor in your Success.
The. two great Poles Of life itself are
bounded by Mystery-from Birth to
Death, about the only really unmys-
terious thing in life is this.-that Sue
cess and Honor and Happiness, surely
follow Work well performed.

THE FISHING OUTFIT.

You may talk Of stylish raiment,
You may boast your broadcloth fine
And the price you gave in payment
May be treble that Of mine.
But there's one suit I'd not trade you
Though it's shabby and it's thin,
For the garb your tailor made you;
That's the tattered.
Mud-bespattered
Suit that go fishing in.
There's no king in silks and laces
And with jewels on his breast
With whom I would alter places.
There's no man so richly dressed
/ Or so like q fashion panel
That his luxuries to win
I would swap my shirt Of flannel
And the rusty
Prayed and dusty
Suit that 60 fishing In.
IT'S an outfit meant for pleasure.
It is freedoms raiment, too;
It's a garb that I shall treasure
/ Till my time of life is through
Though perhaps it looks the saddest
OF all robes for mortal skin,
I am proudest and I'm gladdest
In that easy
Old and greasy
Suit that go fishing in.

No wonder! Your blood is all

that the vitalizing tonic, Pepto-Man-

exhausted and tired out for months,

well and strong again. And with
good red blood you are able to fight
off ailments.
Pepto- -Mangan is widely and hear

FORD WORKERS TO GET DIVyY.

are now being written and their dis
tribution will start Jan. next, ac-
cording to announcement this morn
ing by Edsel B. Ford. president Of
the Ford Motor Company. Mr.. Ford
also announced a forthcoming extra
three per cent for tho six months
ending Dec. 81 on Ford inyestmen:
certificates held by employees of the
company. This, Mr.. Ford said. is in
addition to the guaranteed six per
cent. He added that eight per cent
had been paid July 81 last, making
a total Of II per cent on the certifi-
Gates for 1920.
Mr.. Ford's statement was made, Il
was announced. to correct what he
said was an erroneous report Of tes-
timony by S. S. Marquis, director Of
the Ford Educational Department,
mcnt. before Judge Alschuler in Chi
cago yesterday to the effect that the
recen' reductions in the price OF the
Ford cars had resulted in the bonus
to employees being practically cut
off. The statement that 5000 men
OF the Detroit plant had quit work
within the last 30 days was correct
1t was said at the executive Offices Of
the company here. but the mon had
left voluntarily, and increased pro-
duction OF the remaining en- 3loyces
had made it unnecessary to replace
them.

He knew nothing more about him. and
did not know the names Of any other
