TIE Obscure and Faithful

What we call illusions are often, In
truth, a wider vision OF past and pres
ent realities-a willing movement Of 4
mans soul with the larger sweep of
the worlds forces movement to-
ward a more assured end than the
chances of a single life. We see hu-
man heroism broken into units and
say this unit did littIe-miEht n well
not have been. But In this way we
might break up a great army into
units; in this way we might break the
sunlight into fragments, ana think
that this and the other might be
cheaply parted with It. Let Us, rather,
raise a monument to the soldiers
whose brave hearts only kept the
ranks unbroken, and met death-a
monument 10 the faithful who were
not famous. and who are precious a.

Cherokee Myth Tells
of Bravery of Spider

Lucky was 1t for all the animals
that there are spiders that have egg
sacs resembling bowls, for otherwise
all the creatures of the forest would
have had to go without fire, the Youths
Companion remarks. At least so we
are assured In a Cherokee myth. Nat
ural History thus tells the pretty story
In which spider played the part of
PrOmetheus
In the beginning there was no fire,
and the world was cold. In time, how
ever, the thunders placed fire In a
hollow tree on an island. The animals
gazed enyiously at the smoke that
fire, knowing that there was warmth
there, yet at a loss how to obtain 1t.
So they held council, and as re-
suit the raven set out on the quest.
He reached the island and the tree,
but all that he bore back with him as
result of his adventure was scorched
and blackened feathers. The little
screech owl next made the trial. He
reached the tree, but while he was
hesitating what to do next a blast Of
fiery air arose and nearly burned out
his eyes, which are red to this day.
Other owls tried in their turn, but with
no better success. Then the black
snake tried, and today he bears COW
ering of sooty scales as badge Of
his Intellectual hardihood.
Daunted by the failure Of their fel-
lows, the remaining animals managed
TO find the weightiest of reasons for
not yenturlng to go. Not 80 the spi-
der, however. She wove little tusti-
bowl of her silk and, fastening 1t to
her back, set forth on her adventure.
Reaching the island, she crept through
the grass to the tree and snatched up
q little ember of fire, which she placed
Ia her bowl and returned with 1t to
the eXpectant animals.

9he Young Mems Christian associa-

George Williams, a London merchant
Williams organization grew out of
meetings he held for prayer and Bible
reading among his fellow workers in a
dry-goods business in London, and the
association was founded in 1874. On
the occasion OF its jubilee, its origina-
tor was knighted. Similar associations
had been in existence in Scotland AT
much earlier late, In 1924 David

ment, movement which spread to
various parts of the United Kingdom,

was changed to- the Glasgow Young

The fact that William Tilden, the
great tennis star, will not compete in
the Olympic games, decreases this
eountry's chance of winning out in
the court game.
Tilden has had a run-in with the
commission relative to his amateur
standing. They take the ground that
Tilden's tennis articles, written for
publication, for which he receives
pay, violates the strict rules Of anna
teurism. They made some remarks
which Tilden did not like, so he re-
signed his place on the Olympic
team.
It is to be hoped that there is still
enough talent to make the nations sit
up and take notice land that the ten
mis- premiership will remain on this
side "the big ditch"

CORRECTION.

The Democrat wishes to call atten-
ton to a typographical error in it's
last issue which made $1750 read
$3.50, in the report of the Finan
cial condition of Pocomoke City,
although the error did not appear
in the total. This item appeared in
the statement of receipts and expen-
6itures for the year ending April 80,
1922, and set forth the amount paid
by the county on account of building
the wharf foot of Market street. Re-
ferring to page column a near the
top, those interested can find the
error.
Attention is also directed to some
incorrect punctuation which made the
validity of certain receipts and ex-
penditures acted upon in the April
meeting Of the City Council, depend
ent upon the approval of the tax col
lector, Theodore A. Richards. A
period inserted after the word Gap.
Proved" and a capital letter for the
next word beginning new paragraph
would clear up the meaning.
