IN A FOG
BY JOHN BRECK

BY JOHN BRECK
AS l look at it, the easiest way to find
deer is to creep up a water course to its
source high in the hills Rain as it may
during the tempery autumn days, its paving
stones drain off within an hour after every
downpour. Not until the thirsty earth has
drunk her fill, and frost has locked the mois-
ture in her veins as it locks the sap in the
trees, will water flow between the grassy
banks deep enough to float a newt. But a
slender, pointed footprint in the mud about
pool is surely not older than the last shower
The science of it is this: Deer will hardly
touch the browse down in the forest until the
snow flurres attain, the dimensions Of ma
ture storm. This is strictly an emergency
ration. They will prefer the tender tWlgs OF
this years growth and the October grasses
hastily cured by the November cold. They
will Turk in the narrow ribbon of green which

Wanted-A Keeber

- HAT the ship subsidy bill is doomed to
go by the board is becoming increas-
ingly evident; already it has become,
as has been aptly enough illustrated, a rud-
derless ship towed by the lame duck OF
Republicanism toward some entirely vague
and uncharted harbor.
The new sensitiveness of public opinion,
it has been pointed out, seems responsible
for the failure of this entirely party meas
ure and the only pity is that this sensitive
ness was not in evidence when the voting
began on the ordney-McCumber tariff bill.
AS far as the subsidy itself is concerned,
enough in this fashion:
THE subsidy bill is worse than a conten-
tious measure. 1t is one that was as defi-
nite1y repudiated by the voters as any meas
ure can be under our system. -
It may still be possible, however unlikely
it seems at this time, that enough votes can
be mustered by iudicious use Of the G. o. T.
Whip to jam the measure through, and
IL
last word will have been said for the admin
istration, and the elections two years hence
will be more Overwhelmingly disastrous for
the crippled elephant than were those but
recently held
The fact that the! bill has gone this far
is the simplest sort of evidence of the sheer,
stupid tenacty of that little group Of" un-
imaginative men who seem to believe that
voters go to their polling boxes perhaps as
mild form of certain kind of dissipation,
and that the crosses on the ballots mean
nothing more than the fancy of the moment.
The elephant, a beast Of tenacious in
stincts is, when all is said, gentle animal
under the care of proper keeper. The fact
is known to any animal man with any circus.
And in this case, a keeper certainly is in
dicated, for elephants have been known to
run amuck and do much damage to the ter
rain about them before they have been safe
y recaptured.

OUR HARDEST RIDDLE
BY H. Addington Bruce
one has well said:

NOME one mas well said:
y Learn to think boldly, freely, Judi
- ciously. 1t is by so thinking that you
will succeed in solving the enigma that is
yourself, in learning the riddle Of your own
existence"
And indeed no more difficult riddle can
be put to anybody than that constituted by
his own personality.
This is not generally appreciated. Few
people ever regard themselves as presenting
to themselves, anything in the nature of
riddle
Which is one of the principal reasons so
many get little out of life.
Taking themselves for granted. giving not
moments thought to their psychic make
Fup, to their possibilities and their limitations,
they continually encounter difficulties with
| which, because OF their Ignorance of them
selves they are unable to deal adequately.
If, for example, they find themselves get
ting along poorlX in the vocation they have
chosen, not having studied themselves they
are at loss to know what they ought to do.
Their not unnatural inclination is to throw
the blame on circumstances. Whereas, usu-
ally the fault is with themselves they
would soon recognize, if only they attacked
in earnest the riddle of their personality.
In some cases they would discover that
they are not getting along simply because
they have selected an occupation for which
they have no natural aptitude whatever. In
other caSeS-and by far the larger number
the trouble would be traced to defects of
character and shortcomings of conduct.
These defects and shortcomings may be
obvious enough to other people. But since
those handicapped by them have never really
turned their mental gaze upon themselves,
they are blind to them.
What is still worse they may-and often
do-have a false sense of their personal
worth. This tends to make them rebel at
what they are pleased to call their hard
luck"
They fill the air with their complaints.
Or they perhaps develop a suIlen bitterness
or desparing resignation, each of which
means further impeding OF their efforts
to succeed.
The remedy, the one effectual remedy, is
t It prescribed in the passage quoted:
Learn to think boldly, freely, judiciously.
1t is by so thinking that you will succeed
in solving the enigma that is yourself, in
learning the riddle Of your own existence"
Words l commend to the consideration Of
all who lament that their dreams are falling
to come true, that their ambitions are for

Closer cooperation between veterans
Of the World war of the United States

Of the British Legion and at the blen.

Service League.
Replying to message sent by Alvin
Owsley, American Legion national com.
mander, to the British Legion, Sir
Douglas Halg, head Of the British or

words found an echo In the hearts Of
everyone present. To your wish, Let
Us be comrades In peace ! hasten to
assure you that that is the sincere wish
Of every member Of the British Le-
gion. The aims Of our respective lie.
gions seem to be identical for all prac.
tical purposes and l hope that by some
means we Engllsh-speaking ex.servIce
men may become more closely afliliat-

Of the American Legion the heartfelt
thanks Of the British Legion for your
