THE MAN WHO TALKS


 pendulum of mans wants is swinging Outward. and Is kstting near the ex. treme or the thus far and no farther of demand: and then it wiA come swinging back again 10 mans needs. This invisible wal of Thus Far and No Farther fixee all human limits, and the extremes are never comfort able Anbfti9n can creep as well as soars and tho alternating Intervals are not far apart Only the possible is cbtaiaables although some attempt the impossible and ind the inevitable --failurel These are days when pa- tieHee shOuld be invoked because pa hence will achieve more than force
 A friend In the hill eeuMssv who knows our fancy for birds, writes conrerning the social little ehtekadees which haunt our back doors. ou'd have reveiied with q pack of eAieka- dees saw this morning. The tenn perat1re was way below zero, snow ing. and stiff wind blowing. The fluffy little beggars were having 9 tango in and out Of the pine brush Strewn over some grapevineS. couldn't hear whether they made any noise or not, but if ever saw seven happy, care-free, life-enjoying little scamps, it was then and there. They seemed to think the snow and the wind were especially made for their pleasure. Once, when a particularly strong blast actually blew one little devil off his perch, he proceeded to scratch the stufiing out of the next fellow. But whether this was M-tem- per or just a plethora Of satisfaction. l couldn't tell It was all over in five seconds" .s
 The industrious eart Of the human family works for the attainment of comfort and happiness here not here after. 1t finds joy in it's work just so long as the results of industry sustain hope, but when. they cannot attain their expectations they become un- happy and 8 menace to tho peace and happiness of others. Tho square deal IS the only dependable thing to make life and government secure Between the sleth and ignorance of the many and the tyranny of the few, is a poor place to abide. for it holds no promise of security. Robhihg men of their birthrights is the great crime of the ages; and it has been the downfall of empires.
 1t really looks to an ordinary oh. server as though the political bands at Washington had taken to Jazz music for the purpose Of making the whole country dance. It is said that whereyen fancy exceeds the imagination insan- ity begins; and it has been looking for some time as if the tnstitu- tio1s for the reception of the in. 1 sane should be made ready. They 1 seem to have lost sight of the their main concern. and hope. No ont l mans concept is broad enough to mee, 1 the issue; and political juggling wa. never more unpopular than today. The 1 people are looking for sane policies
 not dream schedules.
 Never think you are too old to learn John Colby, a Massachusetts man
 learned to read after he was S4. thai he might anquaint himself with tn. 1 Bible; Noah Webster studied IT Ian. 1 guages after he was 50; and Ludovic, 1 at 115 wrote the memoirs of his time and Robert Hall when past SO Iearne, Italian, that he might read Dante ii 1 the original. It was Tryon Edwarti ] who discovered that some men ar, 1 born old, and some never grow old. 4 l cheerful heart and an energetic mint holds at bay decreptitude: and Pur 1 pose does the rest. Work has it's owl
