Hog Was Drunk
From Mash. Not Rabid

Hattiesburg, Miss, Dec. 5-(AP)--
A hog wobbled through the ]. j.
Newman Lumber Company's yard
here yesterday and gave workers
such scare of rabies that they sent
for a deputy sheriff. He diagnosed
the porker's troubles differently and
started out to find the source.
The result was a 100-gallon still
cleverly coupled up with the steam
pipes used for drying lumber. The
hog had stumbled into a bucket of
sour mash, from which corn whis-
key is made.
Nobody claimed the outfit, but
fingerprint expert as well as hog
diagnosticiap and that he saw lots
of fingerpriTlts on the still.

Methodist Church Notes.

Each recurring year brings us to
the time which reminds us of the
days of fasting, suffering, and sacri-
flee, Christ's crucifixion and glorious
victory. 1t tells us of how the way
of the cross leads to the crown: that
spiritual victories and fuller life are
not the result of selfish seeking after
earthly pleasures or even mere earth
ly successes. The season of Lent bids
us pause to think, sto increase our
moments Of prayer, to perform acts of
self-denial, to more earnestly strive to
walk in the steps of Him who has
gone on the way before us, setting us
an example that we might follow in
His steps.
Your soul is your battery. When
you neglect it it gives no sign But
some day when you sadly need it, it is
likely to fail you. Better have 1t
looked after at regular intervals at
the service station. A little of the
water of It's life is needed once a
week to say the least. john Andrew

There used to be lots OF senti'
mental writing about the broken
heart. 1t was quite the style at
one time for a girl to swoon away
and slowly eat her heart out over
faithless lover. The cloak of SEN
timentality Is falling from the broken
heart that f1aunts itself as such. To-
day we admire courage. And we
give our admiration to those who can
forget rather than remember what
is irrevocably gone.
Nor do we admire the person who
throws away an otherwise useful
life because of disappointment.
Probably the most constructive
work that has been done in the way
of art and service to others has
been done by persons who had some
great disappointment, some heart
breaking experience. The strong
type Of man or woman says: IF I
cannot have love 1 will have the
next best thing. l will amount to
something. I will forget. I will di-
rect this tremendous feeling into
some other channel" We Of today
have no use for the gutter. for the
one who lacks courage to carry on.

Lady fair-faireSt and loVeliest
lady outside of Paradise, as Francois
Villon would call you If he had ever
known you-do not pity me. 1 am
perhaps the most unfortunate man
in all the world except your hus-
band. l have my sweetheart with
me always, unmarried by the slight
est act or word that 1 would not
have or do or say. She always does
the thing that pleases me most, and
her lovely voice falls into speech that
caresses my ear like a song
If l am weary, she soothes and
rests me by her silence. II I am
joyous, her merry laugh rings out.
If 1 am serious, her sane counsel is
attuned to my mood. Always she is
exactly what l would have her, and
nothing less.
You must remember. if you read
this--for l am not sure that you will
that If you are not perfect. It is
because my heart does not know
what kind Of a woman Is perfect.
for have endowed you in my mag
ination with everything that my
heart desires.
have halted at the daring heights
Of beauty to which my eyes were
lifted, and in my memory I am still
in that rarified atmosphere.
The moon is growing pale. It Is
sinking toward the horizon. A faint.
cool breeze ripples the sea, and tells
me that morning is about TO break.
No longer the brilliant path from my
yacht to the darkening sky Is
studded with jewels. No longer does
love whisper that only it is eternal;
relentlessly my mind tells me that
the moon is cold and dead, that her
radiance and beauty are impaired to
her. That this radiance and beauty
shines on me is a perfectly imper-
sonal thing. I know the Lady Of the
Shows is not for me.
Goodnight. my love. Long before
this You have sat in the nursery with
your boys on either side OF you. You
have listened 10 their lisping prayers
You have bent over their beds, and
they, after looking into your eyes,
have gone asleep secure in the
knowledge that you would care for
them the whole night through.
If, dear lady-if sometimes while
you are with your boys, you would
register a wordless prayer that in
my solitary journeys about the world
there might be other nights like this
when I alone-although you are all
unconscious Of mean with you.
What a glorious life that must
have been of Peter Ibbitson s-a life
of dreams that was much more real
than the life that every one knew
God grant my hourly prayer that
may live other times Of such happi-
ness as has been mine out here in
the darkness tonight.
Your humble worshipper,
MELVILLE SARTORIS.
