A Sermon for Today
Grasshopper Burdens.
ny REV. JOHN r. GUM.

THE writer of Ecclesiastes is here de-
L scribing an old man. To the old
man even the graSshopper snail De
burden" Under the lightest puroen ne
staggers and groans. and complains that
1t is too heavy for him. Poor old man!
The wears have sapped his strength. He
can no longer carry the loads that ne
once carried. We should be patient
with him. As far as possible, We should
relieve him of all care and worry. Let
us do all we can to tighten his load ana
make the latter end of his way easy.
But 1 am not thinking just now OF
the old man. Some of us who are not
so old whine and complain over our
burdens as much as any old man ever
does. We magnify grasshoppers INTO
elephants. We imagine our burdens 10
be heavier than they are. We 1ret
worse than children over what we nave
to do. We fume and fuss when there
is no occasion for it. While yet III tne
prime of our strength, we groan ana
grumble over burdens that are no
heavier than a grasShopper could carry:
Shame on us! If we are not ashamed
of ourselves, we ought to be.
I wonder what We would think OF our
burdens if we could see them on some
body else's shoulders. Make it per-
sonal matter. You think your burden
is too heavy for you? Just imagine
that burden transferred to another.
Would you think it too much for that
other? Suppose that other carrying
YOUR load should go around complaining
and murmuring about the weight OF 1t,
what would you have to say? Seeing
your burden on another's shoulders,
does 1t not seem smaller-too small 10
groan under so mournfully?
1t seems to be a common character
istic of people to imagine that they
could carry the loads of others easier
than they can carry their own. 1t Is
true, as La Rochefoucauld says: I'VE
have all of us sufficient fortitude to bear
the misfortune of Others" We talk to
others about how bravely they ought tc
stand up under their trials. We tell
others that they ought to be manly and
strong. and bear t1eir burdens with
brave heart. 1t wotld be a great gain,
if we would learn ID view our own bur
dens as we view thbse Of other people,
and require of ourselves as much cour-
age and fortitude as we commonly ex-
pect of others. If we would do this,
think We would get along better and
carry our loads more easily. At least,
we would stop GROANING OVER
GRASSHOPPER BURDENS.

"O get a better view of you, the

This act has cost many a one
his life. Not knowing that this
animal IS one OF the most Gu
rious of all large animals, hunters have
made the mistake of shooting, thinking
no doubt that the animal was ready
to spring at them. In spite OF per-

bears can understand these signs.
In colder climates the hair Is long
and shaggy; in warmer ones snort,
smooth and close. The bear Is really
black, but in the light the coat has
beautiful cinnamon-bro colors.
Food? Anything, from grubs to corn
stalks. Honey is their weakness. They
are experts in finding bee trees. They
climb tree quickly, make an opening
large enough for a paw, and thrust the
long arm in. Infuriated, the bees
swarm about the home wrecker. They
cannot get through the hair, so they
concentrate on the nose and mouth.

TNKY, the black-coated little son of
Jimmy Skunk, was in the middle

i and facing him was great big
Buster Bear. Inky wanted to go
one way and Buster wanted to go the
other way and neither was willing to
step aside for the other. For that mat
ter there wasn't much room to spare.
So there they stood facing each other,
very small fellow all in black and
with a big bushy tail. and a very big
fellow all in black and with almost no
tail at all
At first Buster had been amused
when he saw who was confronting him.
He had decided to give this little fellow
a scare and SO make him get cut the
way. Had Inky's father, Jimmy Skunk,
been in InkyS place Buster would have
meekly gone back and waited for Jimmy
to cross. But Inky was such little
fellow that Buster knew he was just
starting out into the Great World and
couldn't have had any experience to
amount to anything. He had no doubt
Of soaring him and making him run
back. So he grcwled his ugliest-sound-

ing growl and he snarled his snarliest-
sounding snarl as he ordered Inky to
turn and go back. All the time he
wasn't angry. but amused.
To his very great surprise, Inky didn't
do as he was ordered to. He didn't turn
and run. Instead he became indignant
He stamped his fore feet langrily, raised
his tail little more and ordered Buster
to get out of his way. There was no
hint of fear about him. Buster stopped
chuckling inside. He lost his temper
The idea that such little imp should
dare to try to stop him and should order
him to get out of the way! The very
idea!
"Wh-wh-what's that?" he suffered
angrily. Are you talking to me? Are
you telling me to get out Of your way?
Don't you know who I am? Don't you
know that have only to put one paw
on you to crush the life out Of you?
Turn around now and get out Of my
way this instant, you little pinch Of
nothing"
Instead Of retreating Inky actually
advanced couple of steps and. with
out realizing that he was doing So
Buster backed couple Of steps. Inky
stamped again and brought his big tail
forward over his back just a wee bit
more, a movement which Buster saw.
He hastily backed another step.

BEER BILL WILL
 BE PASSED IN NEXT SESSION
By WILLIAM F. KERBY United Press Stan Correspondent

- Washington. Nov 18-(UP)-- Passage of a beer bill through the House during the first week of the coming session was the goal of wet leaders to-day. They seek to force an unofficial meeting of the ways and means committee before con- gross convcnes, 50 that this group may approve a modification meas ure and formally report 1t on the first day on the new session. Chairman Collier of the commit tee and democratic leader Rainey indicated they would be willing to undertake such extraordinary pro- cedure If a majority of tho ways and means committee approved. Chairman Pou of the house rules committee, to-day announced in- tention to do all in his power to force modification of the Volstead act at the coming short session of congress. Pou, leader among southern democrats in the House. heads the powerful committee which under House rule is empow. cred to give legislative right of way to any bill reported by an ordin- ary committee.
 Rainey said he would personally consult with committee members here and telegraph others. The plan was originated by Repre- sentative O'connor, democrat, New York, co-author of the non-parti- san O'Connor-Hul berr bill which failed of passage at the last ses- sion. If the New Yorkers' suggeg-. ton is followed, the beer measure might be disposed of by the House before any of the routine business Is ready for consideration. O'Con- nor plans to seek the immediate endorsement of other prominent nti-prohibitionists and make the drive completely non-partisan in character.
 The movement for immediate modification received added impet- us in the senate by the adherence of Senator Vandenburg, republican, Michigan. He said action of the Michigan. electorate in repeating their state enforcement law must be interpreted as a mandate for immediate resubmission and modi- fication.
 Revision of the Volstead act in behalf of beer" the Michigan sen- ator said, Ifs limited by the 18th amendment until repealed. Within x this limit some liberalization un- doubtcdly is possible. shall vote for such liberalization as stays within the constitution"
