IMAGINATION

SAT the other day in the studio
l. Of a great artist and watched him
as he made ready to begin a picture.
AS he placed the canvas upon the
easel l asked him what he was to
paint.
The answer that he made TO me
was SO vivid and so s~trikingly told
that l almost seemed 10 see upon the
blank canvas the finished work.
But l knew what l saw was only
a dim counterpart of the thing that
he saw, for in his Imagination the
whole picture was as plain in its
form and as distinct in its %colors. In
its then mental existence, as it was
later TO be TO thousands of admiring
eyes.
This world would be q sad and
desolate place without Imagination.
Art would falter and science would
dry up and blow away.
Imagination is the real E2otner of
accomplishment.
If the boy did no1 vision the man,
did not imagine himself as he will
be when he grows up, all the great
Incentives Of youth would vanish and
all its endeavor disappear.
Nothing is SO eXhilarating a spur
to endeavOr as the Imagination of
what will result from effort.
1t is the imaginings Of what money
will buy for us in necessities, com
forts and lGXuries that keep us keen
ly at its earning and conscientiously
at its saving.
1t is the imagining Of what may
be the result that keeps the chemist
In his laboratory through night hours
or the student at his books when ma
ture would send him to bed.
Imagination helps us to live and II
not infreQuently causes us to die.
A felon in an English prison, who
had been sentenced to death, was
made the subject of an experiment
which showed the power Of imagined
suffering.
He was blindfolded and 1t was ex-
planned to him that In the place of
the usual form of execution he was
TO be bled to death.
His arm was barred and across the
To run vain an tho inSiln nf thn nlEnu
joint was drawn, but without max
ing any wound, the edge Of a knife
Immediately there was caused to flow
down his arm a stream Of blood-warn
water.
Attendants counted his pulse and
carried on a whispered conversation
about the evidences of failing vital
ity.
Slowly the man grew weaker, his
flesh lost its color, and about the
time that a man would have bled to
death from such q wound actually
inflicted, the prisoner died from pure
imagination.
Half our ills are no more substan,
tial than was the cut in the prison,
er's arm, but we, like him, suffey
through our i~maginutions all the pains
Of reality.

Be loyal, brave and true,

WORSE THAN FOOLISH

The great postoffice department Of
the United States of America is sup
posed to be managed and controlled
by the greatest business minds in
the world, yet it does some. things
that even an insignificant country
editor can see are worse than fool
ish.
For instance, a patron on a rural
route give THE NEWS an order for
fifty sale bills printed on cardboard
to be mailed to him. They are wrap
ped and tied up in the usual way.
and offered at the postofice window.
They weigh fifty-two ounces, and
Uncle Sam requires twenty-six cents
for delivering them. But we are in
formed that by using piece of board
or tin, or some other kind of junk,
as part of the package. so as to
make it weigh thirteen ounces more,
| it will be carried for seven cents.
The same kind of figuring is appl1-
ed to other printed matter, so that
in the course of a year, the printer
pays a good many extra dollars, un-
less he does make his package weigh
T, four pounds.
We have been instructed by pat
rons to wrap an old brickbat or a
stone in the package. We have never
obeyed such instructions, but we
claim it is worse than foolish-it is
almost criminal to subject the poor
printer to such a temptation.

Such Proof As This Should Convince
Any Paris Citizen

The public endorsement Of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong

forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be ap-
preciated. The following statement
