But it VIII be wen no. to lJut;, -----~--
faith in resolutions. Resolutions are
often the vapors of auto-intoXication.
They are the rainbows that succeed

dried up. They are the halOs that we
place upon our heads too soon. They
are the thin ice that glitters but lets

There is mOre power in resolution.
Ii a man can overcome himself he has
conquered his worst enemy. He will
have to use both fists to knock himself
out and both feet to kick himself out;
he will have to get himself down and
sit upon himself before he can be
himself.
This is worth while, but it is I'M
pleasant and difficult. Resolutions are
apt to fail before it or be entirely for
gotten, but resolution can do it and
have force to spare. AS a poet has
.said
So nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
When Duty whispers low, Thou must,

countless grains of the desert

our tears are alike to time. II we
living beings carve a clock on its
brows; If we renew It's wheels as
they wear out; If we wind it day

to keep it going after us; if we
make its iron tongue strike the

to the sphinx of Old Time. We
only are the living ones Time

NATIONAL LEGISLkTfitSsTn

One Of the first acts of congress in
the year was the passage Of the foreign
debt refundinE bill. with a limit for
payment set at Is years. The house
in January also passed the Dyer anti
lynching bill. but It got no further until
December. when the Democrats In the
senate hlibustered 1t to death. The
cooperative marketing bill was enact
ed In February On March q the
house passed the soldiers bonus bill
and, after a long and bitter fight, II
went through the senate ON August 81.
President Harding had warned con-
gress the measure was entirely unac-
ceptable to him, chiefly because 1t pro-
vided no means of raising the money
to pay the bonus, and on September 10
he vetoed It. The house overrode the
veto but the senate sustained It. The
agitation for such legislation was in
cessant, however and new bills were
introduced before the year closed.
Appropriation oils for the army and
navy. providing for $4,000 and $1,000
enlisted men, respectively, were
passed; AID $4,000 WAS apprcpr4-
ated for soldiers hospitals

%, and as 1t had failed to take any &C
ton on 4 ship subsidy measure, the
President called an extra session to
meet on November 20, mainly to con-
slider such a bill. The house passed
it on November 20. The extra session
merged into the regular session on De

In his message 40 congress Presi-
dent Harding called for strict enforce

Fish Encased In Heavy Armor.

Encased in a tiny box Of armor
which covers its entire body-only
eyes, mouth, fins and tail protruding,
the trunkfish of the tropical seas is
a slowly-moving creature. So heavy
and thick is this armor that one has
to give a fairly heavy blow with a
hammer to crack 1t. The armOr is
made of many six-sided horny-plates,
and Is a beautiful thing In itself, as
well as useful cover for its wearer.
One species of trunkfish has two
long horns reaching out over the eyes.
1t is often called cowflsh, because
of these horns his head SO much re-
sembles that of a COW.
