ONE WAY TO BE INTEREST
ING.
: WILLIAM E. TOWNE,
■/ In the Nautilus.
1 just noticed a sentence of •'ev
en words in a magazine short
tory which gives a complete, per
fected method for making one’s
elf liked, for developing that at
tractiveness in social intercourse
-which so many desire and so com
paratively few attain.
Here is the sentence: “To be
interested i s to Ik* interesting.
Do not pass this hastily by, but
consider w hat it really implies.
■When persons are intensely inter
ested in a subject, they are apt to
know a great deal about it that is
interesting to others. I hey are
able to talk about it in a way that
will hold the attention of others.
The least iteresting people in a
social way are those who are al
ways worrying over the idea that
they are not popular and liked. If
they have any real interests, they
are always afraid to express them.
They are so self-centered and self
conscious that they think only
about themselves and hence never
allow their conversation to he con*
cent rated upon ihose subjects with
which they are familiar and which
might furnish a common meeting
ground for conversation.
If you are more interested in
yourself and your own unpleas
ant feelings that you are in out
side matters, you will not find peo
ple flocking about you to seek
your society.
Forget yourself and become in
terested in something that others
are also interested in. Concentrate
your attention upon this outside
matter and you will soon forget
your unpleasant feling of not be
ing popular.
All lack of popularity is due to
some form of self-centered selfish
ness. some mental inhibition upon
normal self-expression.
Conversation between two per
sons ought to mean an advance
ment in mutual understanding of
each other. It should mean the
conversion of one's thoughts and
ideas into such form ,1s to render
them comprehensible to the other.
Asa matter of fact, most con
versation is simply thinking out
loud, and the talker is too self
eentered to consider whether or
not he is presenting his thoughts
iu a way to reach the understand
ing and interest of the other party.

and lies. Watson are establishing
in memory of their three children
J. |). Watson, Mrs. O. S. Lee.
and Louise Watson, the latter
having died in infancy, the two
former in Ihe past two years.
The gift to humanity is a joint
one. .Mrs. Watson setting aside
one of the most valuable pieces of
real estate, which she owned,
known as the John Neal place, on
Lumpkin slreet, ami occupied for
several years by Ordinary Lokey
and Mr. Watson financing and fur
nishing the equipment.
The house is a spacious one.
with magnificent grounds, and it
is being thoroughly overhauled
and a full hospital equipment be
ing installed A complete X-ray
laboratory operating room and
emergency ward, besides general
and social rooms all of which will
be furnished in the most perfect
manner, are arranged for.
It is planned by the donors that
all the physicians of McDuffe
county, and the adjoining counties
will become interersted and co
operate with Dr. (‘litTord Bartlett,
under whose supervision the hos
pital is being equipped. The head
nurse has already arrived, and is
Miss Lillian Carpenter, a young
lady of Ihe advanced school of
nursing with several years of ex
perience to her credit.
Mr. Wa'son is presenting ihe
outfit- furnishings, etc., and the
value of the gift from .Mr. and

sands of dollars.
Mrs. A. L. Lytle who has been
associated with Mr. Watson for
the past eleven years, lias furnish
ed one room as a memorial to her
late mother and it is hoped this
example will he followed by others
who desire to perpetuate the mem
ory of some loved one. in this prac

ANCIENT LABOR TROUBLES
. (Christian Science Monitor.) .
Although it detracts nothing
from present perplexities, it is in
teresting to know, on the woid of
a decipherer of ancient records,
that in the year 309 B. <\ there
was a strike of the musicians’ un
ion in Home. The officials of Rome
it appears, thought that the musi
cians should play without pay at
a forthcoming festival in honor of
Jupiter. The musicians thought
otherwise, and although Rome,
then engaged in one of the Sam
nite wars, had little money to
spend for music, decided not to
“do their bit” by performing
without pay. Apparently the ar
gument that they were really play
ing for dupitor himself was tried
without effect. So the city oificials
decided on an appeal to public
opinion; they evolved a stratagem
be which they decoyed the strik
ing musicians to the scene of the
festival, and. with all Rome look
ing expectantly at them, the musi
cians changed their minds and
there was “music as usual.”

THE BARROW TIMES. WINDER, GEORGIA.
NATIONAL REPENTANCE—By
THE REV CHARLES STELZLE
.lesiis disciples had vainly tried
to relieve a poor sufferer from Ihe
torments of an evil spirit.
Then they called Jesus to help
them, who quickly worked a mira
cle of healing.
And the disciples wondered why
they had not succeeded, and Jesus
said in reply to their query:
“This kind goeth not out but
hv prayer and fasting.”
The disciples hadn’t taken their
task seriously enough.
They had been eager to help,
bib power does not come through
eagerness alone.
An evil spirit is in the world to
day.
It has shown itself in war and
pestilence, in labor conflicts and
in personal controversies, which
have torn men apart and made
them hitter enemies.
And men in certain groups have
gotten together to talk about how
Ihey might rid the world of this
demon of hate and destruction.
They have appropriated cam
paign funds of millions of dollars
and adopted resolutions and form
ed organizations to sweep out of
our country every element which
deprives us of peace and happi
ness.
Hut—“lbis kind goeth not out
but by prayer and fasting.”
The evil is too deep-rooted and
stronglv-entrenehed.
II lias been feeding too long on
the life-blood of the nation. It has
sapped its strength until in some
of its parts the nation has become
weak and almost helpless. It has
stirred the passions of men. driv
ing them madly over precipices
and through livers in their ha
treds and their animosties.
‘‘This kind goeth not out but by
prayer and fasting.”
Think not that a hastily-called
convention or a carelessly signed
petition or a flippantly expressed
conviction will lid us of “radi
cals” and “Bolsheviki” and mobs
and strikes and wars.
Our nation needs to get down
upon its knees and cry out:
“God be merciful to me—a sin
ner!”
We have too long been indiffe
rent to the sufferings of our fel
low's. We have been too negligent
of the condition of the poverty
stricken. We have been deaf to
the bitter cry of little children.
And now that we’ve been re
lieved from the strain ol’ war, and
our eyes have been even half
opened to the horror of what
we’ve passed through, we’ve be
come almost hysterical as the
fruits of men’s passions and self
ishness pass before us as a hor i
ble nightmare.
“This kind goetli not out but by
prayer and fasting.”
It is no time for a cheap “pat
riotism” that neglects the great
fact of national sin. It is foolish to
indulge in childish patter about
‘‘democracy” that ignores the
very elements of brotherhood and
justice. It is utile to cry out
I*’ Peace, pence.” when there is no
peace. n s

CARDINAL A BIOGRAPHER.
At his country seat at Rietie.
(’ardinat Merry del Val is writing
the biographyh of Pope Pius X.
The hood reveals many interest
ing characteristics of the late pope
The cardinal notes that when Pius
X. held his left hand at his side
with the fist clenched, it was never
wise to approach him with a re-
quest.
His holiness used prerogatives
which had not been exervised
since the time the medieval popes
were as powerful as kings. He
once ordered from his presence
the Russian minister who had
dared contradict him.
When an important decision
had to he taken Pius X. would of
ten arise at the dead of night and.
led by wo Swiss guards with flam
ing torches, would descend the
“stairs of death” and through the
long corridors of the Vatican till
he arrived at the tomb of St. Peter
in the cathedral. There he would
kneel and pray. The following
morning the Pope's decision would
begiven.
