This amazingly beautiful morning seems mi opportune time to beg-in, though for our iniiiiediute pur Jioscs, last Jiilit was even better. For it was a clear, cold nijht, the sky n mass of brilliant, crystal cut stars and a wrecked moon jogKi'iiy along toward the Jackson ville hills. , ' n iri 1 1 Looking up became an absorbing sport. For somewhere among; those stars was one whose light started at the close of the Iievo lulionary war and only reached Medford last night! . Pretty slow work, observes the ardent football fan, as be cheers n touchdown from the kick-off. To one who "looks down" upon this ball of dirt, very true, but not to one who looks up.

The point we wish' to make, for of. course, an editorial must have a point, is this: In a recent book of essays by a clever young writer, we noted, among other things, that the conventional idea of immortality was rather absurd, for as the race was about a million years old, there would be no room fur all the immortal souls, that have shaken off I heir mortal coils tim ing nil this time, etc., etc. We said he was young. Our bright idea is that this essayist was looking down not up. There may or may not. be iiniiiorlalitv. mi mm knim-n Jmi nn nm can look up and not admit that lack of space is no argument against it. Nor can it be denied by the upward-gazer, that to conceive of a real Promised Land is no more .difficult than to conceive of the Universe as it really is, and science from day to day demonstrates' it to be. Now a great deal' more might be said along this same line ui fact, one could no. doubt write a book about it, but looking up we find the sun is near the meridian, which means that this job tor the day is done, and we must look down on the earth again.

One day he si nod, a figure grand, 'gainst whom none might previa,; and as he stood he scratched his Laud. upon a rusty nail.

But in that scratch a little jjerm began to brew its dope; so small you couldn't see it squirm without a microscope. A little genu, all black and tan, its forctop neatly curled, attacked this vast and mighty man, the strongest in the world. Great Sigmund 's hand, swelled up apace, upon an evil hour, and boils broke out upon his face, and nil his blood went sour. ,T,hc doctors exercised fheir skill upon thnt Samson frame, but there was naught in drug or pill could queer that mtcrobe's game.
