The ethics of life and the true
art of living are never learned or
appreciated by man until he is too
old and feeble to get out of the old
ruts into which he has fallen. Draw
your own moral and listen when
you are young and your hearing

aright.

BELONGING TO THE CHURCH
There are many people around
this town, and all other towns, too,
for that matter, who are always,
harping on .the fact that they
“‘belong”’ to the church. It is
always their ery, I belong to this or
that church.
Now, it’s a good thing to belong
to a chuich, one of the best that
man, woman or child ever did;
however, many of those gel-saine
people, if you listen to their utter
ancas and wateh their actions, will
Jead you to think differentiy and to
beleive that the churel’s full owner
ghip is vested in them, and that
they govern every branch of it
action.
OUR NEW SENATOR
The people of Georgin have spo
ken their choice for a senator and
their voice has been heard through
out the domain proclaiming as their
choice to gerve them in thiscapacity
Judge Walter F. George.
While Judge George wa= hot the
choice of mauy oitizens; whi'e in
him they did not find their iaeal,
as did the majority of the voters of
the state, itis but due them that they
had a right to thus feel and to he
accorded the honesty and sincerity of
their convictions.
**As a man thinketh in s heart,
go heis.”” Inour Leart we conceived,
desired and purposed to elect Judge
George, than whom no nobler and
more trustworty man lives; to that
end we worked with an energy lmrn‘
of an honest purpose, and have no
apology to make. v '
On the other hand, many of our
friends espoused the cause of other
candidates in the field, which was
their right, their prerogative, and
in which they were as honest and
gincere as we, while no doubt their
choice was a man of flattering capa
bilities. Then, since our senator-elect
is to represent us as a whole, let us
as a whole, as true Democrats and
Georgians, regale any little prejudices
or thought of malice to the past,
for in him we can see a man who
will be justly proud of the distine
tion conferred upon him by a great
and good people; a man not con
tent with the possession; not con-j
tent with the empty office but with
heart, hand and brain for Georgia;
a man who despises nothing but
falsehood and wrong-doing; who
fears nothing but cowardice; who
thinks of the whole citizenship as
his friends and who will gpend the
tenure of his office in ro administer
ing its affairs that Georgia and every
individual within her bounds will be
benefitted. ‘

ROMANCE OF WORDS
“0.. K>
WvHILE this abbreviation, as
a laconic method of writ
ing “correct,” is undoubtedly
traceable to the Indian “okeh,”
# number of other extremely in
teresting legends have gathered
around it, dating all the way
from the early colonial days
down to the time of Andrew
Jackson.
There are some that claim
that it originated from the fact
that the best rum and tobacco
were formerly imported from
Aux Cayes, in' San Domingo, and
that the casks containing them
were always marked with the
name of the town which was
later phlonetically rendered by
the two letters “o. k.”
Others maintain that the ab
breviation came into vogue dur
ing the presidential campaign of.
1828, when Andrew Jackson was
alleged to have marked a num
ber of documents with the let
ters “o. k.” under the impression
that they stood for “01l Korrect.”
While “Old Hickory” was far
from being a learned man, it is
doubtful whether he would have
been guilty of this error—par
ticularly as there exists today
certain legal papers on which the
Jetters “O. R.”, meaning “order
recorded,” may be seen in-his
handwriting. The hurried man
ner in which the initials were
appended makes some of the
“p's” look like “%’s,” which prob
ably gave rise to the tradition
connecting him with “01l Kor
rect.” The abbreviation was
brought into prominence again
when President Wilson endorsed
the majority of his correspond
ence with the proper Indian
term “Okeh.”"

Firemen Cut Hole in
Chimney to Save Man
When Samuel Giron; twenty
seven years old, of Trenton
Junction, N, J., jumped down a
chimney at his home while
‘dreaming, it required an entire
company of Trenton firemen to
release him. Giron recently was
released from an institution and
it was while dreaming that the
hospital guards were chasing
him that he fled from his bed
to the roof. He jumped in the
chimney, became fast, and the
firemen were appealed to. After
trying to pull the man out with
ropes, it was found necessary
to cut a hole in the chimney.
Giron was nearly suffocated, but
was revived.
WAS MARRIED TO BEST MAN
Odd 'Happening Recorded at Wedding
~Bridegroom . Willing to Allow
Bride Time to Consider.
Not so long fgo a strange error
occurred at a church wedding, In
gome way the bridal party became
confused and at the close of the cere
mony it was discovered that the bride
had been mayried to the best man.
Purther complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to the bride's younger sis
ter, /The register had not yet been
gigned, and there was nothing for
it but to perform the ceremony over
again, The mistake had arisen
through the best man undertaking to
make the necessary response for the
bridegroom, who was So nervous as
to be unable to remember them him
gelf. - At o wedding which took place
in a country village a few years ago
the bridegroom, on being asked the
customary question, “Wilt thou take
this woman to be thy wife?” scratched
his head reflectively, and, turning to
the bride, asked: “Will ye clean my
boots?’ The query was met in the
affirmative, and the ceremony pro
ceeded. A laughable incident once
occurred at a village wedding. When
the bride had reached the church she
had forgotten her gloves, and flatly
refused to be married without them,
adding: “Be quick, lest I change my
mind!” Two hours later the bride
groom was discovered seated in the
local inn, calmly puffing away at a
cigar, waiting, as he explained, to see
if the bride really would change her
mind.
CROMWELL HAD LIGHTER SIDE
Incident Recorded of Him Seems to
Prove That He Could Enjoy a
Practical Joke,
It is told of Oliver Cromwell, the
English leader and soldier, that he
had a great love of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense of
others, according to the impulse of
the moment. An exaimple of this trait
is shown in the following incident.
Cromwell had a very beautiful daugh
ter, and at the time' he came into
power in England one.of his attend
ants took a fanecy to this young lady.
One day Cromweil went into his
daughter’s room and was surprised to
see his page on his knees making a
declaration of his love to his daughter.
“What does this mean?’ detanded
Cromwell, :
“May it please your worship,” stam
mered the frightened page, “I am in
love with yonder waiting maid”"—
pointing to her as he spoke—*and I
have been beseeching your daughter
to use her influence in my behalf.”
“Are you willing,” said Cromwell to
the waiting®maid, “to have this fellow
for your hushand?”
“Yes,” she answered.
“Well, then,” said Cromwell, swe'll
have a minister called in and you two
shall be married immediately,” and it
was no sooner said than done.—Phila

Punishment.
She was only three years old, but
she was very vain., After all, age has
iittle to do with vanity.
Her governess found her the most
difficult of the three children to man
age, and the whole family was sur
prised when they discovered that the
young girl who was hired to wheel
the baby out in the park could manage
her as easily as if she were a model
child.
“How do you do it?” the mother
asked one day.
The girl smiled. “She’s easy
enough to handle,™ she said. “Made
moiselle always tries to reason with
her. That doesn’t dn any good, be
cause she just turns unthinking ears
to her. But when I have her out, if
she won’t behave, 7 just take her lit
tlé curls and tuck -them away up ur
der her hat so no one can see them.
Then in about two minutes she’ll
promise to be just as good as gold
if I'll only pull them out again.”

Health and Education to Be
Given Greater Copsideration
by the Government.
Nurses Will Show Value of Welfare
Work ‘on Reservations — 20,000
Children Not Now in School,
6,000 Never There.
Washington.—Plans to improve the
condition of Indians, with particular.
regard to health and education, are
being worked out by Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Burke with the ap
proval of Secretary Fall. An increase
in the estimates for the Indian bureau
probably will be asked in the next In
dian appropriation bill.
The American Red Cross, at the re
quest of the Interior department, re
cently assigned three trained nurses
to the Indian bureau for one year, as
the first step in Commissioner Burke’s
program. In addition, plans for en
larged school facilities to educate 20,-
000 children of school age not now in
school are being worked out. Ap
proximately 6,000 of this number be
long to the Navajo tribe and have
never been to school. .
Will Survey Conditions.
The nurses assigned to the Indian
service, it was sald at the Indian bu
reau, would survey - conditions. on
reservations and demonstrate what
may be accomplished by women
trained in nursing and welfare work.
Thus it is hoped to lay the foundation
for asking congress for an appropria
tion to enable the bureau to employ
on the reservations women of a high
er grade for matrons and general field
service, .
“There is a great opportunity,”
Commissioner Burke said, “for improv
ing home conditions among Indians
and for teaching sanitation and look
ing after the health of children. One
nurse will be stationed on the Pine
Ridge and Rosebud reservations In
South Dakota; the two others will go
to the Southwest, and work among
the different Indians in ‘Arizona and
New Mexico. This is only part of a
general plan adopted by the Interior
department for improving and better
ing conditions among the Indians.
Take Up Education. :
“Another subject that is leceiving a
great deal of attention is that of edu
cation—bulilding up the “schools al
ready in the service, increasing the
attendance to their full capacity, and
strengthening the personnel. An in
crease in the estimates for education
will be submitted, in the hope. that
congress will respond in view of the
demand.
“It is planned, if the money can be
obtained, to enlarge many of the
school plants by porch and other cheap
construction, and it is also hoped that
two abandoned military posts, Fort
Wingate, N. M., and Fort Apache,
Ariz., can be transferred by the War
department to be converted “into In
dian schools. Both of these posts are
desirable and well located, and should
care for probably 1,000 pupils.
“The Interior department and the
Indian bureau are giving much atten
tion to health conditions at the sever
al Indian schools and upon the differ
ernt Indian reservations, and the pres
ent policy is to try to have at least
one hospital on every reservation with
a capacity sufficient to care for the
sick, and particularly Indians that are
very aged and infirm and without
means or homes where they ecan be
comfortably and properly cared for.”

Sense s
ENERGY IS CAPITAL
A LAKE cannot turn a turbine,
though it contains more water
than a cataract.
All the knowledge you can accumu
late in a lifetime will do you no good
unless it can be translated into energy.
The difference between-doers and
wishers in this life is a difference of
energy. . "
The wishers want things. The coers
get them. It is hard work getting
them, but energy is the force that can
accomplish hard work,
The reason you. see S 0 many men
succeed whom you know to be no bet
ter fitted mentally than failures of
your acquaintance is because the suc
sessful men are energetic. %
Energy is the driving force behind
everything that is done.
All of us have some of it, or we
could not live.
Those who have a great ‘deal usu
ally get along, unless they constangly
misdirect it. .
There are, of course, energetic peo=-
ple who never get very far. But even
they get farther than they would if
they were content to sit still.
If the maxim, “Everything comes to
him who waits,” were amended: to
read “Nothing comes to him who
waits” it would be true.
As it stands it is one of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
in existence. :
Your energy is your capital. Use
it wisely and ecomomically and it will
pay you an almost usurious rate of
interest. d
Half use it, or waste it on things
that are of no value, and you will just
about make a living, which is a thing
no man- of ambition wants to do.
Education teaches us to use our en
ergy profitably. An educated man
can, or should, get more out of the
same amount of energy than an un
educated - man, exactly as a turbine
gets more out of a column of falling
water than the old-fashioned overshot
wheel.
Yet the energy must be there, or the
‘education must be useless. . There
must be driving force which will ap
ply what you have learned to your
problems. Nothing important was
ever accomplished by education alone.
If you haven’t got ‘energy, cultivate
it. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will im
prove, and with physical energy you
will gain mental energy.
_ Be careful how you use both. You
cun’t settle a business tangle if you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing. The exercise will use up the en
ergy that ought to be expended on the
job. Your brains can't use what
your muscles have used already.
- Energy is always capital, but it
must be well and prudently invested.
. Take care of yours. Add to it by
~care of your health, and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend it on
important matters, and don’t be afraid
to expend it liberally. It is one thing
of which the more you fspend the
more you will have, provided,- of
course, it is not foolishly wasted.

THE HAND OF A SINGER !
MANY good authorities on paimistry
hold that a singer should have
a stiff hand and pointed fingers. The
mounts of Venus, Luna, Saturn and
Apollo should be strong, to show, re
spectively, melody, "harmony, melody
and harmony. .
By some it is held that .the suc
cessful singer’s hand shows always a
good line of Apollo, which runs up
the center of the hand into the finger
of Apollo, the third or ring finger.
The vocalist should always have the
finger of Apollo ‘terminating in a
point. ;
Suctess in seeking and holding pub
lic favor is indicited by a line of éor
~tune rising from the bracelet, and Tun
ning to the mount of Saturn, at the
base of the middle finger, '
Self-confidence is also required by
the man or woman who must appear
before the public, and this is indicated
by separation of the line of life and
that of the head. A line rizing from
the line of life to the finger of Jupiter,
the forefinger, means ambition.
