Joy of Life Comes With
Consciousness of Doing

The real joy of life has little to
do with comfort; it comes from the
consciousness of strength to suffer
and bear and achieve; it comes from
the consciousness that one is doing
a mans work and earning mans
wages in the world.
The thrill of the mountain climb
er as he comes suddenly upon the
vision of half continent spread out
before him contains more real joy,
more true life, than year brings
to the sluggish cOmfort-seeler in the
valley below: the scholar, as he sur
veys fields of knowledge opening in
broader vistas before him, forgets the
days and nights Of unbroken study
behind him; the great leader in
craftsmanship, as he notes the
steady Improvement of opinion to
wards him, feels a joyous sense of
mastery which the memory of years
of defeat and misconceptiOn does not
embitter.

Warriors Beat Cameraman,
Fear Photos Ruin Souls

A belief among Ethiopian tribes
men that they will lose their souls
if they are photographed was
blamed for a recent violent assault
OH Edward Genock, Paramount News
cameraman, in Harrar, Ethiopia.
Genock, who said he was unaware
OF the official ban on taking pictures
in Harrar, was set upon by warriors
as he was making motion pictures
of the arrival of Chief Arr'si and
his followers. Shouting their native
war cries, the blacks seized the
cameraman, smashed his camera.
and pOmmeled him before Chief
Artists succeeded in calling them off.
Ras Fitourarai Bande, in charge
of the Harrar territory, answering
protest lodged after the attack,
said the irregular warriors were
members of a fierce and primitive
tribe which regards cameras with
evil superstition in the belief that
whoever obtains their pictures also
takes their souls.

"Of course she has, NAL" said
Perilla Jane knows everybody

An affectionate smile passed from
Perilla to her fance, for the last
term that could be applied to NAL
den was boy. In fact, he sometimes
looked and seemed older than he
was. But the lines of his face and
the dignity of his bearing were not
of age, but because. of a studious,
thoughtful life and long hours of
scholarly work.
Born into wealthy Virginia
family, he had lived most of his
life in the South, and far from be-
ing gregariOus, he had devoted his
time to an intensive study of the
religions of the world, and had
made discoveries and proved the
cries, which had set his name high
on the roll of honor of his chosen
subject.
"Oh, Mr.. Gaskell," cried Jane,
"hOw nice of you to GOMEZ l was
afraid you wouldn't, and I'd have
to take on your duties, too, and
I've just all I can attend to"'
Jane, the secretary, was bubbling
over with gOOd-humored smiles.
Without any effect of presumption,
she was the friend of the family.

 Milk and Oats are needed said GrieSt, in case of a new outbreak. The doctor explained that the nativ- es are usually low in disease resist ance in the spring owing to long winter diet of meat and flour. He said that epidemics frequently foll- ow the long winter night.
