Rr BOURKE COCHRAN Bourke Cochran, the great Tammany leader, is no more. He was one of the greatest orators in Ameri ca as well/as one of its most successful lawyers. He was richly endowed by nature with distinctive gifts which he made good use of in furthering his designs. His personal appearance was so striknig that one could not pass him by without turning to take a sec ond look. His enormous head sat on his shoulders “ looking for all he could like a lion—hlft great droop ing eyes had the appearance of being very sleepy but the appearance was decidedly deceptive. t Bourke Cochran won his spurs at the great Chica- ' go convention when Grover Cleveland received the emocratic nomination for'president the third time. There were three outstndning figures at that conn vention.^Henrf Watterson, Tom Johnson and Bourke i Cochran. Cochran came as the champion and advo cate of David Bennett Hill for the nomination. He had a losing fight on his hands from start to finish. 1 the whole country was clamoring for Cleveland and ; to have nomihated anyone else would have broken . up the Democratic party. But this did not seem to worry Cochran at all but made his determination all r the stronger. \ ; When Willjam G. Whitney, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, had retired with the other members to construct a platform, the time had come for Cochran to speak in behalf of his candidate. He labored under great difficulties at\first for the audi ence was dead opposed to Mm; but having overcome _ them and gained a hearing he held them' spell — bound for two hours by. the power of his eloquence. , “Grover Cleveland is the most popular man in . America—every day but election dav,” he shouted. u This climax was accompanied by his favorite posture. a sharp slap on the thigh. *> THE LAW OF AVERAGE „ Life is eerier to understand and less difficult to . handle, if we perceive the truth* that there is a pur pose behind everything. For instance, you make a mistake and pay the penalty. The chances are, you’ll realize later on that the'mistake was sent to help you avoid a greater mistake. Take a reckless auto; driver, defying the fates and by his carelessness en dangering his life and.others. He has a narrow escape or a small smashup. Unless he is inclined > up ! at fear-seizes him. W&t is he locked up for? »r? A great sigh of relief when he learns that all he did while drunk was get into a brawl without casualties. Chances are. this drunkard—If drink hasn’t entirely destroyed his common sense —will become an abstainer. Again the small trouble pre vents him frow big trouble later. ♦ After 'all, jnaybe it’s a good thing that Europe Is in hot water, with more troubles than it can handle. Several years or so of this, and it will grad ually percolate through Eweopeans* skulls, that war does not pay, that it. is a terrific mistake. Progress, you kndw, if; bom-in pain. On the other hand, if Europe could suddenly be- restored to .normal and its path strewn with roses; the European would say: “Why, shucks! that .last war wasn’t such a mess to get out of, after all. Come on, let’s have another round.’’ Europe is suffering from cause and effect—from the law of action and reaction. You can put on shock absorbers. But you cannot entirely eliminate the reaction. We pay the full price for everything we do in this world and for everything we get out of life. It may ' not work out that way in some of our activities, but it does on the law of averages. One man may seem to have the knack of getting money'too easily, but somewhere in his life the system is evening things up. Strike an average, and we’re all in much the same boat, getting about the same.out of life. Of course, it depends on individual reaction to life, On our sensitiveness for responding to joy or trouble. What may be • tragedy to one person isn’t a "hill o’ beans” fo another. And one of us can get infinite joy from soit^thing that would bore others. Trou bles and mistakes n*e sent to develop our characters, to bring out our hidden powers and to make us ap preciate the god things when they come.

The suggestion of Dr. H. B. Hcywood, alderman of the Second Ward, to have the bel- gian bloek on Lumpkin street relayed -and cemented is a wise one. The cost would be nominal and. the improvement beneficial and parmauenL It it hoped that the mayor and council will adopt, the suggestion and commence the work early in the spring. This wonld, in a rveat measure, relieve the congested condition of traffic on MiUedge avenue and direct it from Hancock' avenue and Hill street out Lumpkin. In the early days it was , thought that belgian blocks Were the solution of the paving problem, but years of ser vice have developed the undesir ability of this character of paving and, unless the blocks are relayed few yean they become so' rough and uneven until it , makes travel over them very objection able.

Neither women nor scientists, in 3,000 years, have found anything to compare. In Egypt, in Geopatra’s time, women fos tered and kept their complexions with palm and olive oils.

Now palm and olive oils are blended in a soap. A new method gives them far greater efficiency. That soap has become, by its match less results, the leading facial soap of the world, Nolan accident Palmolive Soap was no accident We did not stumble on this blend. The men who perfected it had spent a lifetime in the study of facial soaps. Thf basis is oils used for 3,000 years. But they never were made so effective, The price is ten cents, due to enormous vol ume. But remember this, if costlier soaps seem better. Palmolive, in the test of time, has won supreme place among women .who keep young. Every woman' owes to herself its use. It cleanses the skin to the depths.
