PREDICTIONS FOR 1921.

The ancient oracles seemed to aim at fair promises, though they chose to speak in cyptic form susceptible to varying interpretations, and the mod ern seers appear to be similarly inclin- ed. Mime, Frava of Paris, for example, assures the world that 1921 will be without any great outstanding events, which is distinctly comforting, for what a weary world most needs is rest, quiet, happy escape from all great outstanding events such as wars and revolutions. But why the Paris prophet is pleased to add that the new year will be 'transitory" does not appear, for transitoriness is defined as shortness of duration, and it cal not be that 1921 will be shorter than other years.I If she means that its un eventfulness will cause it to glide by before we know it. we'll and good but doubtless she merely wished to fling out a little cloud-dust along with good promise, as the old oracles did.
 Unfortunately there are further outgivings of dubious character Though 1921 is to be comparatively tranquil" new political star" is tc burst into prominence and feminisn is to produce a spiritual renaseenet that may even penetrate the mystery of death" If this merely means tha' Miss Alice Paul is to become me dium" and turn Mrs. Piper green witt envy, there k no cause for alarm but the accompanying promise of q new political star of vast effulgenct is somewhat disquieting, particularly when taken in connection with thu prophecy of Mme Eliz that two mos prominent public men will meet deatl at the hands of women. Let us hope for truly tranquil year, without an. feminist or other violent rempaging.- Four States Press.

tions and get relief the best way he can."
 'T can understand just how it has worried you" said the hOtelkeeper. ''The fact that you couldn't reach around and claw the itching place with your fingers kept the matter fresh in your memory and got on your nerves. The pursuit of the unattain- able always Is more interesting to us than the easier work close to hand. 1 You had your whole person 10 scratch, and might have bought a curry omb | for a quarter, and had good time, but you couldn't be happy until you had reached the one inaccessible spot. "A while ago I imagined I had heart disease, and went and saw the doctor He knows I have money in the bank. and am considered good pay. so he confirmed my worst fears, and made up his mind to have me for his star patient, until one of us petered out. He threw an awful scare into me, so that I went home sweating Ice cold circus lemonade.
 i lie gave SOIfit uieIltlutS uttu d l lot of instructions. Among them was 1 one to the effect that when I went to ] he'd I should always sleep on my right side. He cautioned me over and over again against laying on my left side, and left the impression that If I dis \ obeyed him, I'd wake up some morn l ing to find myself candidate fer a 1 floral horseshoe.
 "That matter looked easy at the time. and I assured the doctor I'd fol 1 low his bylaws to the letter. When went to bed that night, I stretched out on my right side, and In ten min- ntes I was just suffering to roll over. I don't believe ever had such a lhankeing for anything. It seemed to me the height of human happiness would lie In sleeping on ones left side. I followed instructions for two nights, and then decided that life wasn't worth such sacrifices and I rolled over md slept on my left side, and nothing happened. I was feeling better than usual next morning when got up.
 "Of course this experience lessened my confidence in the doctors instruc- tions, and I concluded that if I was going to sidestep the instructions l might as well sidestep the medicines, too for they tasted like low life in a Chinese alley, and I threw the whole lot out of the window. Thus the saw bones lost his most promising patient because he handed out rule that wasn't strictly necessary.
 "Speaking of the unattainable, do you know what's the matter with Silas Furbelow? He has everything a man could ask. a stranger in the town would say. He has a beautiful home and a wife who would be considered a success anywhere and he has festoons of money where 1t will do the most good.
 "Yet he has a secret sorrow. think he's the most melancholy man ever saw, and his trouble Is that he can't raise good stand of whiskers. Nowadays, when whlskers are consid- cred an infirmity, 1t seems strange that any man should grieve over such matter.
 'He sends all over the United States for hair growers, and half the time his face is blistered or swollen. and still the whiskers won't grow on him. If some miracle happened, and he woke up some morning to find his countenance all covered with whiskers, he'd probably have them shaved off within a week; but because they fon't grow. he won't be happy till ns gets them"
