MODESTLY

N7E COULD scarcely live in the

weekly paper. After that he knew
everything
There is story. with which most
students of history are familiar of
man who in political crisis made
a wonderful speech that stirred his
listeners and held them GREATNESS,
and ultimately moved them to action
that vitality concerned the nation. The
news of his brilliancy and his power
spread over all the country and it was
whispered that a new leader had
arisen, a bright political star had
burst into flame. But he was never
heard from again, never attempted a
second oratorical flight, was common
place all the rest of his life. He had
shot all his ammunition on the first
round and was sent to the rear.
He was afterwards always chesty,
however, always held himself aloof
from the common herd, could never
quite forget that he had for a brief
hour been recognized as a great man.
When Paul was a freshman in col
lege he wrote a theme for his English
instructor which drew grade of "a"
and which came back to him with the
comment scrawled across it "Shows
real talent. Material cleverly han
died." 1t was an immature wandering
boyish effort dealing with philander-
ing, and petting parties and other sex
complications incident to early ado
lescence, and for want of better ma
terial at hand, 1t was published in
the college magazine of
many another commonplace.
From that time on Paul was q
literary Bolshevist. Whatever sayored
of orthodox religion he sneered at.
The thought of mid-VictQeian litera-
ture and principles moved him to
laughter.
"AlI this religious stuff is bosh," he
admitted. Its sort Of weak super
stition which doesn't appeal tc red
blooded men,"
OF course not.
And all this time the puritanic
Christian religion at which he scoffed
was responsible for the civilization
which gave him comfort, and protec-
ton and freedom. Because of 1t he
was living in a country where the
aged and unfortunate are cared for,
where sanitary conditions of living
are required, where free education is
open to everyone who will take it. He
is living in the best country in the
world-and because it is Christian.
Perhaps the worst thing that ever
happened to Paul was when the in
structor gave him the "a" Success Is
pretty hard to stand.

Timepiece That Talks
Is a NeID Intention

A clock that speaks the time every
fifteen minutes has been invented.
This speaking timepiece, it is said,
differs very little from the ordinary
clock. 1t has the same kind of face
and standard works, with the eXcep-
ton that to the minute shaft is fast
ened an automatic lever and cam
which is actuated every fifteen min
utes by the minute wheel This lever,
in turn, works a second lever which
is attached to a drum carrying a
monograph film.
This action of the first lever upon
the second starts an electric motor
causing the film to move. When this
occurs the stylus of the photographic
reproducer is acted upon and the time
Is 7ocally announced. The phono-
graphic reproducer is fitted with a
small horn that intensifies the sound.
