If snow is on the ground next tues

service as it did when he first drove
his young bride in it.
This will be the old couples forty

may have many more, or it may be

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

Foot ball players do not always know
when they receive their numerous
bruises. They do not feel the hurt at
the time because of the intense excite
ment of the game and because their
minds are wholly preoccupied with
other things.
Sometimes even very serious injury
may be received in this way. Players
are known to have finished the game
without knowing they had sustained
broken bones. Similarly. soldiers are
wounded in battle and keep on fight
ing, if at all physically able to do so,
without knowing that they are wounded.
The whole attention is concentrated
on the one project at hand. There is,
therefore, no room in the conscious
ness for other things.~s~Th whole sup
ply of energy is being used in playing
the game or in fighting the battle. A
man may be SO intent on saving his life
from a burning building or from a
sinking ship that he does not realize
that he is trampling upon women and
children.
The reason is simple enough when
you stop to analyze it. Any sensory ex-
perience must capture the focus of con-
sciousness in order to get itself felt and
realized. But when the focus OF con-
sciousness is already very much preoc-
cupied with a supreme task, such as
making touchdown or saving ones life,

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

| December 10, 1854 lively public
controversy has developed over the best
! location for the new equestrian statue
of George Washington. A writer today
| in The Evening Star. who signs merely
Citizen" to his communication, says:
THE difficulty in selecting suit
able location for the equestrian statue
of the Father of His Country appears
to me to be in the fact that the mani
festly most proper position has been as
signed to the statue of the son, and,
rather than suggest a removal, none
other than apparently suburban loca-
ions are mooted for the father.
why continue the blunder? Is 1t
a Sacrilege to say that the statue OF
Washington would appear best IN the
center of Lafayette Square, surrounded
by statues of Jackson, S@0tt, Taylor,
Greene and other worthless to whom
the republic owes so much?
History and posterity put men in
the right places, it matters not where
their statues stand, and when did our
Nation more need his even marble
presence in their very midst than now?
Would 1t not plead for that union and
brotherly love that made us, as Ma
ton, all we are. or can hope to be?"
The Washington police today are look
ing for thief or thieves who entered
the Southern Methodist Church, on
Eighth street, Saturday night and stole
two altar chairs. It appears that they
also made an attempt to carry off other
furniture from the church, but that
it was too heavy for them, and 1t was
found in disarranged condition. The
police thus far have no clue as to who
perpetrated the robbery. The chairs
cost about $50.

The old house in Virginia is RAM
bling structure, erected more than so
years ago. The spacious rooms within
are much too large for the purposes of
the present occupants, who have lived
there for As years. There are only two
of them, an elderly man and his wife.
They might easily have disposed of the
place and taken an apartment in the
city. On Winter nights the wind howls
and seeks apertures through which to
enter-but there are no apertures. A
modern furnace generates comfortable
warmth and electricity illumines the
place.
Right now there is considerable ac-
tivity in the old house. The children
and grandchildren will soon return
home. The elderly owner and his wife
move from room to room like a couple
of youngsters, preparing for next Sat
urday, when the halls will ring with
the shouts of grandchildren. Next Mon
day night Santa Claus will have to go
but a few rods from the house where
he will swing a sturdy ak against the
trunk of the greenest Christmas tree.

nothing to suggest a steel trap with its
great wicked jaws So Buster paid little
attention to anything except the little
log house. AS soon as he was far enough
around he saw at once that the door
was open. He stopped and stood up to
study it. He shifted and he thought he
caught the odor Of meat. He shifted

there is no chance for the ordinary
stimulus reaching the focus And fail
ing in that, it does not register in
consciousness, and the man cannot
therefore be aware of what has hap
pened to him.
To prove this theory try the simple
experiment of extracting a hair from
the head of your friend at the exact
moment that you strike him a rather
hard blow on the arm. He will not
feel the hair pulling, and if he does
not see you do it he could never be
the wiser unless he has SO few hairs
that it does not take divine omnipo-
tence to count them. Our grandfathers
used to cure stomach ache by ap-
plying hot poker 1t cured the stom-
achA ache, all right, but the remedy
proved to be worse than the disease.
The main point is that the mind
can be completely absorbed only in one
thing at any given time. And If it Is
so preoccupied, it can't take notice of
the usual sensory experiences and will
not be conscious of hurt received.

Wrapping for Christmas Gifts
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Wrapping Christmas gifts is no
longer the simple matter that it was
years ago. Then the chief point was
to conceal the articles by the wrappings
so that, when undone, the element of
surprise was not lacking. Red string
and fresh white paper were quite suf-
ficent A little later red or other col
ored narrow ribbon was substituted for
the more commercial-looking string.

THE BEARTOOTH FOREST

The Beartooth forest is situated in
parts of Carbon, Saltwater, Sweet
grass and Park counties. The gross
acreage is 6S1 $3.50 acres. The princni-
pal mining region within the Bear
tooth forest is known as the Unor-
ganized New World Mining district
in Park county. This district in
cludes the Cooke City mining region.
The field covers roughly $4,000 acres.
There are probably 5000 claims in
the region, but les sthan half this
number have passed to patent. This
is due largely to the fact that Cooke
City is without adequate transporta-
lion facilities; consequently it has re-
NAMED principally as a prospecting
field rather than one of great produc-
ton. Other mining regions of the
Beartooth are situated on Little
Rocky creek near Dean, Mont, and
also the main Saltwater river. A
limited amount of prospecting iccurs
in Carbon county, situated chiefly on
the main fork of Rock creek.
The coal outcroppings of Carbon
the national forest boundry. Some
and Saltwater counties are outside
oil and gas prospecting permits have
been issued southwest of Roscoe,
Mont, and sufficient development
work has been done to warrant the
issuing of some patents in the local
ity. The Pryor mountain division,
situated wholly within Carbon county,
contains apparently no mineral be-
cause practically no prospecting has
taken place.
