ANOTHER JURY WILL
Be SUMMONED SOON

Another jury will be called for dis
trict court service in the present. jan
uary term.
This was determined by District
Judges Trimble and Park yesterday.
The jurymen will be supposed to re-
port on March 20, and while as yet
the jury commissioner has not received
his order as to number of venire-
men to draw from the jury wheel. IT
Is expected the number will be so.
Usually the setting of cases to be
tried is made on the Monday preceding
the date OF the jury's reporting, but
in this case 1t Is probable that Satur-
day, March II. will be the setting date.
At that time criminal cases will be set
and such civil cases as have been

breakers ahead-these things plunge
us into gloom.
And we, In our turn, pass the gloon
along. For our friends, seeing the
black and forebOdlng faces that we
wear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an Office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
entire working force.
One crOaker on board a ship In a
storm may send the whole passenger
list into something very like a panic.
Nobody loves a gloomy man-but
everybody listens to him-and looks
at him.
The prophet of evil is never without
an audience.
Poe, in his remarkable poem shows
how the raven, by croaking the word
''nevermore" was able TO drive luck
less poet almost to the verge Of In
sanity.
Continual gloom is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green AMI bios
soming things upon the surface of the
earth.
We all need sunshine and a great
deal of 1t.
1t is not necessary to go about con-
tinually telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but we can at
least keep our trouble to ourself, and
not look as If we we're limping along
toward the grave or the gallOws.
The gloomy man or woman In a
home destroys the happiness of an en-
tire family-and usually drives the
children out on the streets, where at
least there is air and sunshine, and
maybe now and then hurdy-gurdy.
The reason the jazz is popular, that
the comic supplement sells by the mil
lion copies, and that the comedian gets
a thousand dollars a week is because
we win do anything to get rid Of
gloom.
1t is a burden on life, a menace to
human happiness. If you are a gloom
addict, change your mode of thought.
You are as much of menace to the
community in which you move as was
Typhoid Mary" to hers.

eyes" AND "NO"

THESE two little words, yes and
= no, with which men have been
wrestling for ages, are vocables OF
enormous meaning, capable Of settling
all the simple and complex problems
In life, when used with utmost wisdom
and likewise with utmost caution.
In Washington, the statesmen who
were debating and adjusting the ques-
ton of limited armament found
1t difficult at times to apply yes" and
mo" to the interrogations which
naturally arose in the discussion, and
In which the whole world is vitality In
terested.
To use these monoEyllables at the
right time and in the proper place is
the earnest wish of every fair-minded
man or woman who would have "peace
and goodwill on EARTH"
But to do so In truth and mercy,
when dissension is rife and righteous
ness seems to be tumbling noisily like
mountains In an earthquake, requires
the wisdom Of Solomon and the pa
thence of Job, accompanied with divine
guidance.
How many lives of promising young
men and women have been blighted
by the indiscriminate playing of Eyes"
and mo-?
How many nations have gone to war
through the utterance in anger of a
ruthless Eyes" when complacent mo"
authoritatively spoken, might have
saved millions Of precious lives, un-
told sorrows and inestimable treas
ure?
He or she who makes merry with
these small words without giving
thought to the immensely of their pow
er to create or destroy, is risking
everything in this life, and possibly
In the life to come.

that you'd never be entirely satisfied

Okeh?
Things are either right or they're
wrong. There can't be any halfway
ground if one wishes to enjoy to the
fullest his own handiwork or the hap
piness of knowing that he has done a
valuable service for mankind. When
ever a person quits laboring at any
thing before the job is entirely salts
factorily finished, there is certain to
follow disappointment and a sense of
resentment against ones own careless
ness. And whenever one in authority
okehs the work done by others by saw
ing that it'll do" neither he nor those
engaged on the job will ever be
pleased as greatly as If the task had
been perfectly done.
One of the chief reasons why many
go through life unhappy and COM

inclination they display by aiming too
often for ''what'll do rather than aim
ing constantly for the very best.
Fortunately there is a growing ten
dency to demand perfect goods and
perfect work. There has been entirely
too much imperfection in both finished
materials and in the way work is done.
But perhaps, after all this has been a
