His quick, low-toned direction to
Lillian 10 have the man Smith
brought upstairs was followed by an
equally quick, but almost curt COM
mand TO me:
please show me the room where
young Chester is"
1t was not until in HIS wake 1
reached the foot Of the stairs. that
my confused brain realized the alb
suridy of his question. He must
have visited young Chester before
his colloquy with Smith, and have
known exactly whore his room was.
I acquitted his meticulous memory
of forgetting the location and looked
OF him furtively, wondering just
what was going on behind the ex-
pressionless mask that was his face.
That he wished to speak to me
unheard by anyone else-this was
the only solution which occurred 10
me, and I was just approaching my
self for its absurdity, when he stop
ped abruptly and looked at me with
an odd, strained expression.
Where is your husband?" he ask
ed abruptly
Are You Sure?"
His manner was almost offensive,
and my answer was as curt as
could decently manage.
I'm the Adirondacks."
He started preceptibly, and his
eyes narrowed.

PhOOI Philosophy
BY
Old GU COIegy

Sunday is a day of rest, and
sometimes Of strutting.
A word and blow makes many
a free show.
No man is ever old as long as he
considers himself young.
This life is full of chances that
are never taken.
Coal is not money, but it is less
plentiful.
Scandal gathers no moss. 1t ira
vels too rapidly.
The days of courtship are when
man is what he isn't.
Contrary to general opinion,
money does not count. We count it.
A noisy tongue is readily heard.
So is pigs grunt.
The sweetness Of flattery turns to
bitterness when the truth becomes
known.
Treat your neighbor like human
being ard he won't treat you like q
dog.
The fellow who wants to kill two
birds with one stone generally misses
both.
Pepole who worry over little
things have no time left in which to
accomplish the big ones.
Sudden death cheats the doctor,
but nothing ever gets ahead Of the
undertaken.
Some people gain riches in their
dreams and proceed to spend them in
their waking hours.
Few difficulties are too great to be
overcome by the person who says 81
VIII" and lives up to it.
Success does not always come to
him who waits. The hustler steps
in between and hogs it.
Eight hours constitutes a days Ia
bor-or at least that is what some
people are paid for.
A woman has a legitimate right to
go through her husbands pockets,
for how else could she mend the
holes?
The lazy man makes many excuses
that are NECESSARY. Nobody expects
anything from him.
To hasten the departure Of an I'M
welcome guest, ask him for con-
tribution to your favorite charity.
Concealing your shortcomings only
serves to make them more spicy
when they are found out.

ceived little pay, but now you want a
small forune for doing nothing.

PEOPLE TIRED OF VANDALISM

President Harding in his address to
Congress on August Is, made this
declarations:
81 am resolved TO use all the pow
er Of the government to maintain
transportation and the right of men
to work."
The proceedings instituted by the
Department of Justice at Chicago, in
which an injunction against the
striking railroad shopmen is sought,
have but one object and purpose,
namely: ITO maintain transporta-
ton" and to protect men in their
right to work. The purpose of the
federal government is made very
clear in the petition and argument of
of the Attorney General.
There is no reason for surprise or
astonishment that the federal gov
eminent should take this action. The
careful reader of the news is not
lacking in information concerning
what has been taking place. Ever
since the shopmen's strike began on
July / there have been more or less
violence and disregard of the law
part of it serious and defiant. Follow
ing the failure of the latest attempt
at mediation, violence and law def
ance have increased. They have ia
ken the form of train wrecking, at
tempted train wrecking and burning
of bridges, in addition TO the personal
intimidation that has been practiced
from the beginning.
The shopcrafts leaders have dis.
claimed responsibility for these lille.
gal acts, and The journal does not
charge them with responsibility foi
them, but the fact that they have
occurred is beyond denial. They con
stitute most serious attempt to in.
