"They eunnot under sland why the average man is so indifferent to his preparation for the future." The doctor worries because his silly patients won't take care of their (bodies and the minister worries because his silly parishioners won't take care of their souls, when both agree that health of body and soul is mostly a matcr of taking thought, and the rules are plain. And that isn t all. if tne individual is milillcrent to tlio tilings having to do with his own happiness," adds Dr. Copeland, "what can bo expected of nations, which are simply great groups of indi viduals'" What, indeed? Since national purposes are far less clean than those of individuals, and the more people, the harder it is to agree. , Ho we blunder and blunder, as individuals and nations, merely "muddling through," except for occasional great moments of insight and clear purpose. Hut even so, the muddling isn't all waste effort. It js by their mistakes that people and nations learn. Democratic people insist therefore on the right to make their own mistakes, instead of being saved from them by paternal government. The only trouble is tliut the process takes so long. As Lord Byron aid, ','We live, to learn, yet slowly learn to live." Man's greatest enemy is his own indifference. ' " Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry. Another year Is gaily petering out, and the first 1922 are the worst. There always was a familiar twang about the Daugherty, Impeachment case, and now they are going to file some affidavits. Quill Points Host hard-headed men have soft hands. Immodesty consists in being conscious of it. ''Royal flushes" refers to a modern game; "royal four-flush" to a modern king. Turkey has promised the Allies she will massacre no more Christians, the same 'to be in full force and effect until Bhe catches some. The sudden goodness of Turkey is suspicious.

Firm and tender hands have cleft asunder, the remains, adding to the robustness of deceased. The host wore a John B. Stetson headgear, and his slickest smile, and the guests ex pressed themselves as being delighted With the wide-awake enterprise of our townsmen. The efforts of the hell-for-offlcloncy Espee, to have an iron horse on the Muln Stem crossing during the birth of a fire, have so far proved futile. THE UNBELIEVER .

When nny district is in a ferment, one naturally expects an upris ing that will bring the scum to the top. The faithful are humble, and there never is vulgar display of wealth when the collection plate is passed. Unhappiness is not occasioned by the little you possess, but the fact that tho other fellow has more. Charm is that indefinite something possessed by the girl who hasn't enough good looks to justify a compliment on that score'. It s only fair to inform the kaiser and the widow that the maga zines ore advertising some delightful wofld tours. , Correct this sentence: "Hilly detests fat women," said Billy's wife, "but I'm going to eat what I like, fat or no fut." ' j jTherb is nothing u woman enjoys quite so much as telling the world how patiently she bears her burdens iu silence. At any rate, a bachelor never comes in and finds a woman occupy ing the chair where he likes to hang his hat and coat. You don't feel so poor after going into a great department stflre and observing how many tilings there arc you don't want. The last argument of mediocrity consists in knocking a dompctitor. Rockefeller says save it, and Ford says spend it. Perhaps it is a fifty-fifty policy that keeps us all poor. It must bo remembered, however, that if you had money enough to buy some of the things you want, you wouldn't want the things. That chap who says petrified wood is to be found only in the west has very little acquaintance with Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. Dr. Ellsworth Hunting of Yule, told the house immlgation commltte today that the admission of Near Easf refu gees proposed in the pending White' bill would not degrade tho status of American civilians. Ho advocated their entry, ho said, on biological grounds, because they would bo of higher average than tho usual run of immigrants. Dr. Esther Lovejoy of Portland, Oro., who has worked among the refugee camp3 in the Near East since tho Smyrna, disaster;, also favored the bill. ffi Bible THoiigtitSr Tbdaij LOVE MASTERS I-'EAU : There Is no fear In love, but perfect love custeth nut fear. 1 John 4: IS. yfeatherTo-morww: SNOW , AND ' COLDER Correct this sentence: "Wo are too hard up this year," said tho wife, "and I don't want you to get me a thing for Christmas."

MY COUSIN", Charles Augustus, is sore on modern justice, be ho makes an enrncst wail; for ho was pinched for speeding, and, heedless of his pleading, they sentenced him to jail. Iicfore the peelers nailed him, before the jurist jailed him, he used to talk a lot about the locoed voters who speeded up their motors their conduct made him hot. "Mere fines will never punish these speedsters wild ahd Ilunnish," I often heard him say; "in prison let them languish; perchance such dole and anguish will make them change their way. No matter what their standing, I hope to see them landing in prison for their crimes; mere fines won't mako them wriggle; they merely grin and giggle as they dig up the dimes." ml after all this talking a peeler caught him rocking his old tin bus along, at fifty miles or faster, and since this dread disaster he says jail terms a Are wrong. "Our bulwarks arc for gotten, our institutions rotten," he says, in sombre tones, "when people law-abiding are jailed for slowly riding, and fed on musty bones. Where is our boasted freedom when men who never speed 'e mare pinched for driving curs, and jailed with common felons and fed on last year's melons, behind tho rusty bars? I do not call it justice," says Cousin Charles ugustus, "when one of high estate, n man renowned in letters, is loaded down with fetters like some cheap tinhorn skate."
