irs THE STRUGGLE, NOT THE
VICTORY
Tlie struggle alone pleases us, not
the victory, Pascal opined.
“We love to see animals fighting,
not the victor infuriated over the
vanquished. We would only see the
victorious end; and, as soon as it
comes, we are satiated.
“It is the same in play and the
same in search of truth. In dis
pates we like to see the clash of
opinions, but not at all to contem
plate truth when .it is found, To
observe it with pleasure, we have to
see it emerge out of strife.
it So in the passions, there is pleas
ure in seeing the collision of two
contraries; but when one acquires
the mastery, it becomes only bru
tality.
il We never seek things for them
selves, but for the search.
“Likewise in plays, scenes which
do not rouse the emotion of fear are
worthless; so are extreme and hope
less miserey, brutal lust and extreme
cruelty."
Pascal observed that we do not
content ourselves with the life we
have in ourselves and in our own
being; we desire to live an imaginary
life in the minds of others, and for
this purpose we endeavor to shine.
tt We labor unceasingly to adorn
and preserve this imaginary exist
ence, and neglect the real. And if
we possess calmness, or generosity,
or truthfulness, we are eager to
make it known, so as to attach these
virtues to that imaginary existence.
tt W® would rather separate them
from ourselves to join them to it;
and we would willingly be cowards in
order to acquire the reputation of
being brave.
a A great proof of the nothingness
of our being, not to be satisfied with
the one without the other, and to
renounce the one for the other! *»

A LAUGH OR TWO
He had been married about a year
and had taken to spending his even

night his conscience worried him.
So he .called his young wife up.
“Hello, kid,” he began, “say, slip
on some old clothes and run down to
meet me on the quiet, We’ll have a
good dinner and then we'll get a ma
chine and smear a little red paint
around. How about it?” ,
<* I’ll be delighted to join you,
Jack, but why not come on up here
and get me ? There's nobody
home.”, '
As the husband’s name was Tom,
he now spends his evenings at home.
Mary Anne gave notice she was
going to be married., *
Her mistress, slightly perturbed,
said: “Of course, I don’t want to
put any obstacles in the way of your
getting married, but 1 wish it were
possible for you to postpone it un
til I can get another maid.”
“Well, mum,” Mary Anne replied,
“I 'ardly think I know 'im well
enough to arsk 'im to put it off!
We heard of a real persistent
youth the other day. A friend who
is the head of a large mercantile
business wanted a new office man.
A young man applied’ but was told
a married man was desired. A few
hours later he returned. “Didn’t I
make it clear that we desired to
employ a married man?” he asked.
Yes tt replied the applicant, I

Preacher-Father Opposes Lawyer-Son
In Minnesota Senatorial Campaign
Minneapolis, Oct. 3.—The wet and
dry issue has arrayed a preacher
f at f, er against a lawyer-son in the
Minnesota senatorial campaign.
Merle Birmingham, republican, is
running for the United States sen
ate on a beer and wine platform
drawn from passages from the Bi
ble. His father, the Rev. M. C.
Birmingham, Methodist preacher of
Melford, Neb., has asked the people
of Minnesota to give his son a
knockout blow. In an open letter to
“the voters of Minnesota,” the fath
er said:
n I have a son who I learn, much
to my regret, is a candidate for the
United States senate on a ‘beer,
wine and independence’ platform.
This is not the liberty of the gos
pel, but the kind that permits trans
gression and wrongdoing, were it
adopted, it would open doors for
many people to pass down the broad
road to destruction and eventually
into the pit which is bottomless. tt
Bishop Likes Short Skirt, Bobbed
Hair and “Yes, We Have No Bananas tt
by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of the
Methodist Episcopal church in an
address here.
We criticise their hair, their skin,
their stockings, their shoes, their
skirts, their cosmetics and their
manners,” he said, speaking of mod
ern young people. “I suppose when
you middle aged people were young,
to hear some of you talk, you would
think you were gentle little angels
sitting around on sofas with your
hands folded on your laps.
<« We never had a finer set of
young people in the Methodist church
than we have today. More than 30,
000 of them attended institutes thiB
summer and 96 per cent of the num
ber listened with attention to the
serious lectures.
tt Don’t you remember when the
young^people used to bang their hair
—let it fall all over the forhead?
As between banged hair and bobbed
hair, I take the bobbed variety.
Remember these balloon skirts ?

But the son has renewed his

cam paig n with greater vigor. He has
also put out an open letter, saying:
tt I am indebted to my father for
a good home, and I am sure he al
ways did his duty as he saw it in
the training of his children, but I
could never follow my father’s
church in its attempt to enslave the
African, nor can T follow him in his
attempt to infringe upon or des
troy the inherent constitutional
rights of the American citizen.
u I believe that my father and I
are working to achieve the same end
—temperance—but as we are looking
through a glass, darkly, our meth
ods of achievement differ. My pur
pose in making this campaign is
to give the voters of this common
wealth an opportunity to indicate
whether they desire a continuation
of the present farce of prohibition
enforcement or whether they desire
sane and lawful regulation.

other pass. As between the old
hoop skirt and the present styles,

u I have heard it stated that the
song, ^Yes, We Have No Bananas,
was a sign of degeneracy of the
times. But what were you singing,
you pious old steward and you staid

young? You were singing: “Pha

Moses in the Pool; She Fished Him
Out with a "Telegraph Pole, and
Sent Him Off to School.’

taking sacred characters of the Bi

them and the song ‘Yes, We Have
No Bananas,’ I prefer the bananas.”
