OF a maiden fair who was standing by

Which had broken it's winter Jail.
Now this very remarkable Greoian
miss
Had noticed the sunderinE chrysalis
And the butterfly appear.
And she saw that this wonderful liv-
ing thing.
With the slender body and golden
wing.
Wa. chained TO the earth by fear.
he was fashioned. as butterflies al
ways are.
With wings To carry him near and far,
But ne tremhted and feared 60 nv.
And when II appeared 10 this lovely
miss
He was crawling back in his chrysaiis
She uttered n startled cry.
Get up, Get up in the summer sky!
God gave YOU those wings so you
could fy."
The beautiful maiden said:
But the butterfly 10 the earth remain
cd.
And the wings God had given him
he disdained.
So runneth the tale. l read.
How like the life Of a youth, thought
!.
With n wonderful brain, yet afraid tC

LOOKING TO THE NEXT CONTEST.

IL Is said that a gathering of some
Democrats OF national reputation and
influential standing in the party was
held at Tom Taggart'e French Lick
Springs. IN Indiana. last week, at
which boom was started for the nom
.nation OF William Gibbs McAdco as
the Democratic candidate for President
in 1924. MIR. McAdoo. Secretary of the
Treasury and Railroad Director under
President Wilson. was Governor Coke
chief competitor for the Democratic
nomination in 1920.
II Is also said that other prominent
Democrats who happened 20 drop
in" at Taggart's popular resort last
week. started another boom for Gov
ernor Cox OF Ohio. who was so over
whelmingly defcated by Pr~ident
Harding two years ago. but who ie
said 70 be ambitious for another at
| {, MT.
Well, the politicians may meet and
confer and the results Of their de
hhcratione may have some effect upon
the Democratic national primary cam
pa.gn soon - opeu in earnest But they
cannot dictate results in advance
There are several million Democrats
distributed among forty-eight States
and a few Territories. who will have
the final and mos; effective word. They
viii choose delegates 20 the mex, Dem
ocratic National Convention. and in
many instances instruct them as tc
how they shall vote in determining

And should these Democratic voter,

edge. his segacity. his intuitions of the
heart. have been sure guide tn him.
He came In no official character. He

stand up as a gallant and indomltahle
figure seeking truly To interpret fo
America the thoughts and feelings of
