THE SEARCH FOR ROMANCE.

There Will be those who will laugh at the some

penniless.
Others will sympachze with this desire of the
woman with money for they VIII understand that

savages in barbaric lands.
So she does the next best thing which is to pro-
vide herself with an interesting companion whose
fertile mind and whose varied experience will relieve
the monotony Of her hours.
She acquires romance by proxy and bares her soul
when she tells reporters that she married the man

The POWER OF PRAYER.

When Clarence De Mar an athlete won the Ameri-
Marathon race, recently he asked to explain
his victory
1t needed explanation for he is now "a years old
and running is the sport Of youth. maturity.
He had passed the age at which experts believed it
POSSIBLE to put into the race the same sreed
endurance and aiertness which won for him his first
Marathon away back in 1911.
He gave recipe for training no studied diet
no gruelIing course of exercises.
De Mar said that he through the power Of
prayer.
He knew the ordeal Of that race. He knew that
his strength would be called upon as it had never
been before. And he was right for in that contest
he lost four pounds while he pushed ahead of his
rivals The last stretch was an agony of which only
ne knows.
He said that before he went into the ace ne
prayed for the endurance that bring victory.
And he said that his answer came as he was in that
last stretch every tug of muscles cried out for.
mercy when his breath seemed to shout its warning
that he stop
Before YOU laugh at PRAYING athletes consider his
story and whether YOU believe in divine answer to
prayer not YOU viii concede that praying helred
this to win.
Cast aside. if YOU wish any theory Of a superior
power giving the necessary strength and be as ma
terialistic as you wish but the fact remains The
strength came when he needed strength.
There Will be those who say that he hypnotized
himself into unsupported strength. That he drew
his strength because he believed he would receive f.
That he had filled his mind with the thought that
he would be helped and that the reaction through
the subconscious mind spurred him on TO draw on
unsupported resources
Let il go at that It may be true. But it is also
true that another winner would have been named
FOR the Marathon had he not had faith in prayer
and had he not prayed
You may not te out TO win Marathons You may
have no faith i'm orearized reusion. You may de-
pend upon YOUR satisfied theory of rnateriasra
But even If YOU hold such theory OF Hfe perhars
IN your struggles it may well TO read again this

TREASON TRIALS
West Virginia Miners Are Be-

John Brown Died.

Once more, after IS peaceful
years, this historic old West Virginia

The underlying issues Of more
than half a century ago and today
are not greatly dissimilar in prin-
ciple
In 1859 John Brown and his fol-
lowers faced trial here for treason.
The issue was slavery.
In 1922 a hundred or more men.
mostly union wokers. are being tried
for alleged treason. insurrectiOn. in
citing TO riot. murder and scores of
other serious charges.
Freedom! Liberty, Those were
the watchwords in 1859: they are in
volved in the issue now on trial
here.

and he seized a United states arsenal
at Harpers Ferry. ". Va. 70 accom-
plish his ends. Slavery was legal
then. John Brown used Illegal meth
DDS 20 destroy slavery. and they
hanged Brown and his followers for
attempting 20 make the slaves free.
In the fall Of 1921 union men
sought TO march upon some nom
union coal fields and make them
union An army Of 5000 or more
men began an armed march through
West Virginia The men of the nom
union fields and the authorities Of
several counties opposed this march.
A pitched battle was fought. and
some were killed The non-union
miners wanted a free labor situa-
ton i'm their field Those who par
ticipated in the march now are being
tried for alleged treason against the
state or lesser crimes. II the men
now on trial are convicted on the
treason charges the death penalty
may be imposed.
John Brown and his followers
were tried here in the quaint little
old courthouse and hanged in the
courthouse yard.
