District Debt and

ago. through failure to- understand
Of May 10, 1873, is the following re-
joinder to some of this criticism:
THE New York Tribune and the
New York Sun are making a great
to do over the fact that the District
Of Columbia is In debt. Well, we
never knew the time when it wasn't
in debt. But there is this difference
between now and then, that the pres
ent indebtedness has made it's imme-
diate returns in the way OF improve
ments on a colossal change that have
changed the city. as If by magic, into
a place of beauty. comfort and at
tractiveness, whereas under the old
corporation system SO much praised
by these critics we were getting
hopelessly in debt and had nothing
whatever to show for It. The credit
of the city financially was never so
low as in these fossiliferous days of
cobblestone pavements. grades diver

pestiferous open canal.
THE city is redeemed, and the re
suits justify the costs. From being
a byword Of reproach and a place to
he avoided, 1t Is now so attractive
that people of wealth and cultivation
are coming from all parts OF the
country to make 1t their permanent
home. The remarkable rise - the
value Of real estate here demonstrates
whether the city has been ruined
or made prosperous by the new order.
The ability Of Washington to bear its
present burden OF indebtedness 10 in
flnitely greater than IL was to sustain
that under the old system, when there
were large expenditures yearly and
nothing accomplished to raise values
of property or to give any hope that
the city would ever be rescued from
the slough of despond. All that i1
needed now is proper outstanding OF
the resources of the city and the re-
duction of salaries and offices as fast
as the diminution in the amount OF
work demands, to put its credit on q

must know HOW to come in touch
with or attuned to the higher vibra-
tons. We have previously used the
wireless to illustrate the coarser or
lower vibrations, and we have sketch
ed in the fact that the human mind
DOES attune to the higher vibrations
of Infinite Wis., M and also to an
Interchange of thought through space
with human minds.
Let us cite an instance that will
prove both statements. When Wal
lace read in the "Origin of Species"
Darwin's theory Of evolution-now
proven by the record of the rocks to
be fact-he was so struck by its
likeness TO a manuscript which he had
just completed that he sent his produc-
ton to Darwin, and made no effort
to publish it, so nearly was it dupli-
cate, both in content and phraseology.
Both had received the truth and

phraseology from the psychic waves.
and from each other.
Any number of other instances could
be cited TO prove both statements but
one always suffices to prove a prin-
ciple. so let us accept it as verify
and learn how to use it.
To learn HOW to use the principle
let us assume that you aspire to be-
come and authoritative writer of a
certain kind of literature. (The same
process we are about to outline can be
applied to any aspiration with equally
beneficial results).
To tap the realm wherein all things
exist, you must become attuned to the
rate and character of vibration of the
thing you seek. Such attunement can
be gained by this process: Having
established your ideal, begin TO live it
primarily. and live in the work-a-day
world and attention TO external things
to meet the world successfully until
results from your ideal bring n great
er success, which it will surely do. In
terpret environment and experience as
a means toward the accomplishment
of your real purpose. Read books on
louI SUBJECT. SIT quietly, doom IN
hand, and mediate upon the conscious
ness which the author must have had
while writing it. Study it. Commit
snatches of it TO memory and carry
them about with you in your daily
work; repeat them; dwell upon them,
get the taste, feel and music of them
and then think INTO them. Seek the
surroundings and company of your as
pirations.
In your daily life, refuse to become
hurried or worried. Do everything
with earnest, deliberate unhasting
effort. Study how to Make every move
ment count to the best advantage rath-
err than rush about in the belief that
the faster you go the more you accom-
plish. This is important because a
hurried and Hurried mental attitude
changes your vibration and cuts off
your connection with the higher types
of mental vibration. Keep always in |
the background OF your consciousness
that your ideal is your one permanent, |
dependable associate, and bring it oft ,
en- into the foreground for examina-
ton to see il you can make it better.

When the Twins left the queer mix,

sound overhead.
And looking up they saw an auto,
mobile with wings roosting on a
tree.
OF all the queer things they had
seen in Mix-up Land, this was tho
queerest.
Want a ride?" offered the auto
mobile obligingly.
"Y-yes, thank you" answered
Nancy. If it's quite safe"
"Safe?" laughed the automobile.
Why, I'm just as safe as balloon

safer than that"
Nick laughed. "Mix-Up Land is
such queer place We don't know
what is safe and what isn't. Why
do YOU fly instead of rum"
"Why docs the sun shine at night,

BY CAROLYN BEECHER

Chapter Nil.
The look her mother had noticed
almost one of hatred. had not left
Muriel's face when they took their
seats in the theater. But Bruce had
chosen a lively comedy and she be-
came interested and laughed n little
which delighted him. He must take
her often.
The supper table he had chosen was
in prominent part of the room and
he bowed TO several acquaintance
Once he excused himself and left the
table TO speak TO Tom Mason and a
guest. He was gone but a moment
yet Muriers face had again hardened.
Isn't that that nice Mr.. Mason i
met when | was here bcfore?" Mrs.
| Dangerfield asked. 81 remember he
had charming wife"
"IeS, that's Tom. A great boy and
Ann is the best little sport ever. He
said that bad cold kept her in the
house but that she insisted upon his
coming without her."
Naturally, unless she was really
ILL.,"
Il think she'd be that way if she
were dying. j never knew such
couple. They have great big boy
and you would think they were sweet
hearts"
That's the way it should be- Mrs.
Dangerfield was not unaware that the
conversation was distasteful to Muriel
but 1t might do her good. Once started
on the subject Bruce talked on about
the likeable qualities of his friends
until Muriel said angrily:
If you can't talk Of anything but
Ann Mason, / prefer to go home
Bruce caught his breath sharply.
Would he never learn to check his
enthusiasm before Muriel?
"All right, dear, the Masons are
taboo for the rest of the evening,
and although he did his best, seconded
by her mother, the good feeling that
had prevailed did not return.
Before going to bed he spoke of his
fathers gift.
Write him n nice letter, DEAR he
said. He is getting old and will
appreciate it,.
Il suppose l shall have to acknowl-
edge his check, but / have nothing
further TO say that would interest
him."
Bruce bit his lip to keep back the
bitter words. But as he lay thinking
he muttercd:
1T was a failure after ALL, The
birthday he had hoped to make so
gay. that he had hoped would bring
them closer together.
Mrs. Dangerfield, too, lay awake
thinking. Muriel always had been of
q selfish nature, but this horrible jeal-
ousy. this colossal selfishness-what
could il mean? Had she as a mother
failed in any way? Unaccustomed
tears wet her pillow at the thought.
How did Bruce come to marry Muir
iei? The answer came readily. Muir
lei loved him. was jealous and afraid
she would lose him, so at the first
suggestion that they elope she had
seen her way to possess the bright
naturcd, lovable boy. She, older than !
he, even if not in years, had married |
him. Had she been twenty years old |

"Shc suffers now, poor mistaken
child, the mother murmured pityingly.
Yet in many ways she was a good
wife. True, economical, never deceit
full. but would-could-thes qualities
overbalance that other, her selfish
ness?

sentful look in Bruce's eyes at break

"Tll walk little way with you.

Had Muriel been in street costume
she would have gone also. but she al
ways wore negligee at breakfast.
From the window she watched them
go down the street together.
Bruce, what is the matter this
morning? You look troubled"
