It was sung out last fall, or
rumored that he was mentally
wrong, because he was hauling all
of his stable manure out in his
fields to sow in wheat and oats and
larger quhntity of cotton seed for
the same purpose, and the land
woul make fine cotton, therefore
his neighbors thought something
strange of him. It is very bad,
but now we know he is wrong in
mind, for he is planting a whole
lot of land in corn that would
make cotton by the wholesale. I
will close with best wishes for the

As soon as Mr. Mortimer Hays

he telephoned Messrs Hay and

they tracked the burglar to Jack

left it there. John does not deny | I
the possession, but fails to tell
how he got it. He has told Sher¬

unsatiTnrctory explanation, it is
impossible to accept any conclu¬
sion which has yet been advanced.
Every nation since the dawn of
history has had the same problem
before it, and each has had its re¬
ligion and pbilosphy to account
great disasters. The Chaldeans
beiieved that there was an inevit¬
able destiny, which could be read
i i the visible heavens by the po¬
sition of of the stars. The Stoics
also considered the doctorine of
absolute recessity, but this neces¬
sity was controlled by a governing
Providence, a doctrine which is
s.ill adhered to by many of today.
The Greeks deified all natural
forces, and put Dike and Nemesis
as the controlling powers over all
events, and the Greek literature is
permeated with allusions to these
all-powerful gods.
The Mahammedans had also
* Imu r views. According to their

All these diiferent, forms of
fatalism have been studied by
modern philosophers and they
have laid down a conception of it.
Thev 8fly that whatever happens
is the remit of a “blind causality
undirected and undetermined by
any conditions.”
And so it goes. Some of the
greatest mind have done their ut¬
most to fathom the mystery as to
why this or that occured just as it
but only this proposition .
seems to meet with much approval.
“Whatever is is right.”
