Hitch to Mature

Emerson's wonderful line,
Glitch your wagon to a STAR is
often quoted as though is simply
meant "Aim high,' but this was
not Emerson's meaning. He
meant that man, if he would ac-
complish his best work, must
hitch to natures forces, and make
gravitation and all the star forces
do his bidding.
He must swing his hammer
down and not up, so that the pull
of the sun and the earth and the
stars will supplement his human
muscle. The farmer is doing this
when he ploughs and soWs, the
miner is doing this when he
delves for gold or coal. The
preacher is doing this when he
suits his address to the capacity
of his audience. The teacher is
doing this when he teaches in
such a way that the child can
understand.
The man who imagines that he
can force nature to go his way is
a fool; he had better save his
labor; he must do natures way
if he would accomplish anything.

Once there was a Maine guide
so the old story runs who got gosh
awfully tired of being shot at by
city slickers. So he made complete
suit of broad awning stripes, al
ternately white and black. He fig
ured that ought to save him, but,
on his next trip into the woods, an
amateur potted him the first shot.
At the inquest, the coroner said:

kill poor Eph, but how in thunder
did you think a man dressed like
him could be a deer?''

til he got his foot on the gas. That

with him again, which heaven for

We had a set of overcoat but
tons, the top off of stop signal and
part of a gocart in our car when
we arrived. So we didn't actually
hit anybody, this being due, think,
to his holding dead on the mark
instead of leading it by few inches,
as one should when ones target is
moving. He hopes for better luck
next time.
Yet there was no rush. There
rarely is. And that's the funny part
about an automaniac's reactions.
It's the only funny part-the rest is

The Simpson Affair.

HE simple name of Simpson has
L become practically household
word in America, but it's said
millions Of English people haven't
so much as heard it yet-or at least
not in their public prints. It's an
other case of having to go away
from home to hear the news.
If it's true, as exclusively reported
over here, that his majesty invited
a premier and primate-two of the
highest cards in the whole deck
to mind their own business, he set
the tune for the daily press of his
realm to dance by.
However, the British newspapers
never did develop the high arts OF
keyhole peeping and transom lift
ing to the extent practiced by a
certain peculiar school Of Ameri-
can journalism. With them, an Eng
ishman's house still is his castle,
though it be a glass house. Or even
royal palace.
But some of the London gossip
writer's must be so swollen up with
strangulated copy they've probably
had to have their clothes let out.
Now, if haply twas purely Yankee
