WORD TO DOUBTERS. (By CAMILLE FLAM MARION.) However narrow may be your opinion, there Is no reason to think that your myopia Is to spread over the world. In spite of you and In spite of your ob scurantism and obstruction tactics, the car of human progress will roll on and continue Its triumphal march and con quest of new forces and powers. The laughable occurrences that you refuse to believe reveul the existence of new unknown forces. There Is no effect without a cause. Man Is the least known of all beings. Wo have learned how to measure the sun, (toss the deeps of space, analyze tho light of the stars and yet have not dropped a plummet Into our own souls. Man is duel—homo duplex, and this double nature remains a mystery to him. We think! What Is thought? We walk! What Is that organic act? No one knows. My will Is an Imma terial force, all the faculties of my soul are Immaterial. Nevertheless, If I will 'to move my arm, my will moves matter. How does It net? What Is thei me diator between mind und muse.©? As yet no one can say. Tell me how the optic nerve trans mits to the thinking brain the percep tion of outward objects. Tell me how thought is born, where It resides, what Is the nature of cerebral action? I am far from claiming that the force that comes Into play In the unexplained spirit phenomena of today can one day be financially exploited, ms in the case of electricity and steam. Such an idea hue not the slightest interest to me, but though differing hilly from these forces, the mysterious psychic force nevertheless exists. In the course of the long and labori ous studies to which I have consecrated many a night. as a relief or byplay In more Important work, I have always observed. In these phenomena, the ac tion of a force the properties of which are to us unknown.

Why Delay? Phone 183 DON’T WORRY. (By CARA REESE.) No, son, you cannot gauge the degree of affection in which your employer 'holds you by the mere incident of a “raise" or a “depression" In wages. Both a “raise" and a “depression” may mean volumes of love, or may mean the very opposite. A “raise” commonly stands for regard, for ap preciation of service, a desire to bind you fast to the specific Interest, an un willingness to part with you for any period because of your value and rec ognized worth and capable assistance. But. a “depression” means all that, too! A “depression” commonly stands for regard an** appreciation, a recog nition of ability, but tempered by a long head that knows of a truth that the only possible way to bind you fast to the special undertaking Ts to lower your money value, to Induce a humble, thoughtful frame of mind, and to bring you to a realization of the shifting ground on which you stand; and you in turn spurred on to even more diligent effort, and laying hold with a firmer grip more faithful, more loyal than Sometimes a "depression” is needed to cure a swelled head, to tone down the bump of self-esteem, to strengthen your foothold In an enterprise thet could not possibly dispense with your ser vices; qnd yet, it is good for all con cerned that you should be shown ex actly where you stand; and shown that you are not always the whole oracle or dictator In the management of the busi ness. A cut of wnges may not mean dis regard of you and your work; it maV not mean a hint for you to take de parture; it may not imply incapability; but It may mean an appreciation that desires to win you over fast and hard. A disciplined child is often more docile and diligent and obedient after a chas t Iscment. No, you are not that kind? Well, (here M some wilful youngsters who are made worse instead of better by the punishment administered. Hut par ents do not know this until the deed is done. You will up and quit, no doubt, and then the boss will know to which type you belong. But *4 will be too late then. The main tning Is to discuss the question now before either the ‘‘raise” or the cut in wages has come, and the point to re member Is this, that a ‘cut * comes in kindness sometimes; a lowered wage has prevented many a rash youth from mak ing a conspicuous goose of himself. A wage cut for you may never come. A prosperous condition of business affairs, coupled with the fact that you are main taining steady pace, keeping a level head, giving diligent service, may he a saving grace, and reduction for you an unnec essary rod of correction, and not used. And a “raise” is sometimes “fool’s goi % merely a malicious dealing out of rope whereby the unwary and ino unwelcome are enabled to close careers without further help from the office. And a "cut in wage may likewise be dealt in ill-intent. So. you see. you never can really gauge the depths or warmth of your employer’s interest by oI they one or the other. That is, not on the mere face. it is reasonable to suppose that you possess an inward sense which is able to classify the facts %ud to rend the office thermometer. But if not, and if your Judgment of mankind Is faulty, suppose you keep on pladldly In the same old way. “raise” or the opposite. I FORCE OF EXAMPLE.
