A RUN OF LUCK
By S. Z. kISER.

lie lives on the side of long, steep hill,
III Where a rutty road winds past:
Far below is an old red mill
That is falling to ruin fast.
His hundred acres are poor and bare
Except for the rocks and brush.
But the lonely days enlivened there
By the song Of the tuneful thrush.
Ills orchard is going to quick decay,
III His fences are rotting down;
He has sent his daughters and sons away
To expensive schools in town.
The road that crosses the stream below
Is muddy and full of holes.
And daily the motorists come and go.
And daily he gets his tolls.
Ills plow is idle behind the shed,
III But his horses are big and strong,
And harnessed they stand. and he shakes his
head
When flivver passes along:
But a smile spreads over his countenance
When a heavier car appears,
And his dog comes barking: "Ho. here's
chance"
And his horses prick up their ears.
Ills farm is going to waste and weeds,
III But little, indeed cares he;
Gayly he serves the motorists needs
For a cash and liberal fee.
The ruts are soft and the holes are deep
And frequently cars are stuck
He could fix the road. but prefers to keep
Enjoying his run Of luck.

Dear X. C. B.: On the wall in the shack

there is an old newspaper with an ad.. the
heading Of which reads: The Man Who Paid"
1t caught my eye one evening as was cook
ing, and what train Of memories it did bring!
1t worried me so much that wanted to tear 1t
down and ofttimes l have had to pull myself
back with jerk, and some one has said that
in that way lies madness. Then thought Of
many others who are paying for past follies
and that was not the only one who paid So
l have left 1t there just as a reminder.

Wonder World of Science.

INSTEAD of the world growing
duller and mankind more un-
- interesting with the passing
of the reign of superstition, the
picturesqueness Of mediaevalism,
and the bands, flags and drums of
militarism, and with the coming
of democracy and the glaring
sunlight of science and the su-
premacy of the business man and
all that sort Of thing; it is, on
the contrary, becoming more COM
plex and fascinating.
Instead of destroying the beau
tiful mysteries of life, science
shows us a hundred mysteries for
every ten conjured up by priests,
wizards and soothsayers.

A Militant
Democracy

"HE ranks OF the NATIONAL
Democracy grow militant,
and the marching now is
with step that carries the sug
gestion of confidence and hope.
The voices of leaders of high
and low degree are full of cheer.
Cordell Hull, the new national
chairman, is a born fighter, and
is everywhere in the field Of coun-
sci or assault.
Bryan, whenever his religious
fervor lapses for moment from
the Darwinian wrangle, hies him
to the front with note of con-
fident expectation.
In the Senate Democratic Sena-
tors, Harrison, Heflin, the two
Washes, King, Watson, Robinson,
Stanley, McKellar and Ashurst,
perpetually harry the dilatory
Republican majority with gibe
and taunt and challenge, and
carry the battle to their antagon-
lists in every encounter.
Democratic women are fully as
active and militant in construc-
tion and organization, and every
where there is the prognosis that
the 100000 majority" reaction
rims the political horizon of 1924.
If only. now this revived and
hopeful host of militant Demo
Gratis will fight aggressively for
the things that are right, instead
of merely criticizing things that
are wrong, they will show they
have the interests of the people
in their hearts.
If only this hopeful Democracy
will not betray the grateful obi
cation which wraps our faith and
patriotism around the heroic debt
which we owe to the 100000
soldiers who saved Liberty and
Democracy and glorified our coun.
try across the seas.
| If only we shall not fail to re
set the sails upon our merchant
marine, so long and so shamefully
banished from the seas.
If only we shall hold fast to
the scant equality which was left
to our bartered navy by the
Worlds Conference of Arms.
If only we shall keep the faith
of the fathers in the fullness and
sufficiehcy of American tradi-
tion and Copstitution-then the
chastened, disciplined Democracy
will come again triumphant into
its own at Washington.

One of the hest ways to dsperse any mob is

the Book of Job. 1t is in the Book OF Job that we

|POssibiLities
of Personality
CCIENCE is just beginning Sc
- riously to take up the study
of personality.

of personality.
Nobody knows what personality
is, of course, just as no one knows
what gravitation is, or electricity,
or life.
Personality is an abyss as deep
as the heavens are high.
1t has strange mountains, des-
erts, seas, and with these are
curious and weird powers.
We have heretofore played with
these powers as child plays with
tools he does not understand.
We have taken faltering steps
into the magic lands of faith cure,
mind cure, miracle working, mes
merism, hypnotism, telepathy and
spiritism.
Science, being busy with other
and more tangible things, has had
a way of smiling at such excur-
sions in superior manner.
Now, however, the scientists are
entering the field of personality
mysteries and beginning to test
weigh and classify them with their
own peculiar coldness of intellect
and are doing this simply because
they recognize that here is a
group of actual forces as real in
their way and as demonstrable in
their workings as chemical reac.
tions or vibrations of light and
heat.
While an English clergyman by
the name of Hickson is healing
people at church meetings in Paris
according to the good old formu
las of belief, little French doc
tor by the name of Coue is ac
complishing very much the same
results in London without any re
ligious formulas and by simply
assisting people to use their mag
nations to cure themselves.
And DR.. Coue is having about
as good luck as the Rev. Mr.
Hickson.
Helping oneself by ones mind is
of course, an old story. Say 90

"smile and the world smiles will
you"-this philosophy is very old
A great majority of people, how
ever, in spite of all the healing
fads, have a sneaking notion tina
there is something of hocus- -pocu'
about it.
An honest sort of mind is un
comfortable in any attempt to de
ceive itself.
The rigidly scientific expert
.nnents of psycho-therapy, how
ever, tend to reassure us tha
here is an element of truth il
5fhe belief that the mind has dis
tinct power over the body.
And with this comes reassur

degree than we suppose upon tn
exercise of our own spiritual re

NEW PONTIFF WILL
 BE NAMED SATURDAY
By Associated Press

Rome, January 29.-The 261st pom tiff of the Roman church will be elected by Saturday night. according to the consensus of opinion as ex- pressed by the prelates arriving here with the cardinals attached to the conclave. They expect that the de- cision willrbe reached on the third or fourth ballot. The conclave opens Thursday, and from present indica- tions the work of electing new pope will be carried on expeditiously
 T do not anticipate sharply drawn contest which some predict, said a prominent English ecclesiastic today. Although there are naturally divergent views among the cardinals, these differences are not irreconcil- able, and I am confident that the sacred college will be able to agree upon the successor of Benedict in a relatively short time"
 American and English church dig nitaries consider certainty that the choice will fall upon an Italian. They believe that the best chances lie with Cardinals Maffi, Ratti, Lega and La fontaine. q
 A prominent English prelate, who asked that hls name be withheld, de- clared it would be a great mistake to elect a foreign cardinal. as that would lead to disappointment and dis satisfaction among countries like the United States, Great Britain and France, all of whcm probably felt that they merited high office whereas the selection of an Italian would be acceptable to all.
