Entr4 at the Post Offlc. at Richmond. Mlu, as Sond Claas Mail Matter.

Paper Arrows If you will go into the city postoffice tomor

row, you will probably see lines of people drop

ping little pasteboard packages into the mails. And you will guess within yourself that these are valentines.

Lads and lassies have been doing this for two thousand vears. Before Rome had gone to

pieces, it was a custom to have a feast about this

season of the year, called the Festival of Luper-

calia. The boys and girls gathered about the bowl into which the names of each of the party had been placed. The girl whose name the young Roman was lucky enough to get would be for the year his valentine. This old Roman custom was taken over by the Christian religion and named after one of its paints St. Valentine. The costom has lived in this way for two thousand years. Two thousand years ! We would say two millions of years if we knew man had lived that long. The valentine instinct is built into us just as the homing instinct is a part of the pigeon. The man who doesn't have something inside of him that wants t send valentines is minus something of the normal human apparatus. Some solemn persons look down upon sending valentines as a very foolish thing. These unfortunates suffer from the disease of being grown up. They have become guilty of the sin of being old. Their blood has turned to vinegar. We recall with pride that we ourselves have sent valentines. They were frilled with paper lace, perforated with delicate designs, had beautiful gilded mottoes on the back and often cost s much as twenty cents. The center of attraction in this bunch of fluffiness was a red paste-board heart. The heart was pierced by a paper arrow. Those were wise valentines we sent them! Experience since has taught us that most of the arrows which are shot into the human heart are paper. Emerson taught that most of the ills we suffer from are imaginery. Some other philosopher has said, "I have suffered many ills most of which never happened to me." These have discovered that misfortune's arrows are usually paper. Did you ever notice how things almost never turn out as bad as we had expected? You will nurse the tooth-ache for a week; sit up nights with it and get grouchy over it, all because you can't get up nerve to go to the dentist. But after you have seated your reluctant self in his chair, you discover to your amazement that the thing wasn't half as bad as you expected. Or maybe you had your appendix cut out. You know how you lay the night through and shivered with apprehension. You also remember how you went to sleep on the operating table and woke up in bed and didn't know what had happened. The surgeon shot you through with a paper arrow. The true philosopher in life will always find that the majority of shafts fired into his heart are nothing more than paper. Washington Irving tells a story of an English business man who lost everything in a commercial failure. It was with great difficulty that he could persuade himself to go home to his wife with the dreadful news. He pictured her in his imagination as fainting away with terror as the prospect of their poverty would be described to her. She met him at the depot. With great difficulty he told the story to her and concluded with a sob in his voice, "My dear, I have nothing left in the world," at which his wife threw her arms about his neck and exclaimed, "Why husband, you still have me." He had been hit with a paper arrow. Wise are the valentines. Wise are the pasteboard hearts. Let's all send valentines tomorrow with paper arrows in them. And if someone sends you a comic that wounds your pride, remember that its arrows are also paper. The Union Victory at Indianapolis Both sides of the recent labor conflict at Indianapolis selected the public service commission to umpire their difficulties. Yesterday the commissioners gave their report which was accepted by the Union leaders as a victory for their cause. All classes of employes were given a raise in wages. The Traction Company which employed these men carries a large amount of watered stock. The result is that they are compelled to pay dividends on a value that does not exist. In order to meet this condition, the managers have been compelled to extort every penny worth possible cut of their employees with the lowest possible wage. In such conditions the individual employee was helpless. He could not get the ear of the boss and the boss would pay no attention to him if he did. But when these men united and presented their case as a unit, they were listened to. Manufacturers and employers are themselves coming to find the organization of labor an ad

vantage. Instead of bickering and bargaining with each individual employee, they deal with them as a unit. In this way their labor difficulty is solved in a short and simple manner. Unionization also makes the laborers more responsible. The most destructive strikes are the strikes carried on by unorganized labor. They work in mobs and nobody can be held responsible for what they do. But when the workers are united arid bargain through representative leaders, they are as responsible as any other organization. This settlement as decided on by the Public Service Commission is to be welcomed as a distinct justification of the wisdom and necessity of organized labor. Free Will Versus No Will The will is to an individual what the locomotive is to a train: it leads the way and it furnishes the power. If there isn't sufficient power the train can't get anywhere. If the locomotive doesn't stay on the track, the train will be wrecked. It is just as essential that a man have will power and will education as it is that a train have a track to run on and steam to be pulled by. The will might be compared to a builder who does the actual work of building. The intellect would be like the draughtsman who makes the drawings and the blue prints. If one keeps this illustration in mind, he can easily understand two of the commonest mistakes about the human will. Taine, the great French scholar, argues that a man has no will. According to him, our decisions and emotions and thoughts are produced by the brain cells just as bile is produced by the liver cells. Even great men may be very foolish! Taine would have us believe that the brick and the mortar and wood and stone could erect themselves mto a building and that no builder to direct and plan is necessary. Another class of persons turn Taine's telescope end to end and see the exact opposite. According to their notions, the will is everything. They believe that a man lives in a vacutim and that he can do anything he decides to do. These people are also very foolish. They would have us believe that a builder could put up a building without the use of brick and mortar and stone and timber. The trouble with both of these extremists is that they have not studied the human mind with the help of modern scientific methods.' If they did, they would see that the truth about the human will lies between these two extremes. The psychologists that is merely what we call those men who make a special scientific study of the human mind have shown us very clearly that neither the so-called "free will" theory nor the so-called "no will" theory is true. The scientific teaching has been called the theory of "Determinism." Determinism is the doctrine that a building is erected not by the builder alone nor by the materials alone, but by the co-operation of one' with the other. In other words, a man has to have things to work with and he also has to be a worker. Results cannot be had if either of these horses is left out'of the '.earn. We can overcome our surroundings but we :annot do without surroundings. We wrork with ?.nd not apart from the things about us. The strong man is not the one who has escaped from the influences of his environment, but '?. one who has a lot of steam in his engine. A man who can generate 100 pounds of steam will be more successful in overcoming obstacles than the man who can only generate 80 pounds. It is absolutely necessary to cultivate will power if one would be a strong man. But even a strong man must have the right kind of materials to work with. Michelangelo, the man who put up the big St. Peter's cathedral, could not erect a large fine building if he did not have plenty of first class materials. And so it is important that every man be surrounded by the right kind of things and influences. Thus the people who teach us: "Be strong. You are the captain of your own soul," and the other people who teach us "Change your surroundings," are both right. The truth lies above and includes both extremes.

If only our politicians would study the science of the human mind, they would be saved from committing so many political blunders. Many of them draw up their laws on the assumption that nothing more is needed than to surround people with the right kind of an environment. They overlook the fact that the human will must also be strengthened. Another class of politicians says, "Away with the talk of environment. A strong man doesn't need any help. He can overcome all obstacles." Wise politicians will say, "Let us do all we can to make conditions better and let us continue doing all we can to inspire and awaken and educate the wills and ambitions of men."

Peru appears to be identical.

Dr. Nelson has visited these points. He has been analyzing the diseased organs In the state laboratories, but . up to the present has been unable to discover enough about the diseases to ! aid him in checking them. At Vincennes, McClure Bros, have lost heavily. There, the disease resembles closely; spinal meningitis. It is not as certain to result as fatally as at Columbus and Peru. The horses affected at Bicknell and Vincennes have a chance to live if given good treatment. They , fall, but if they are placed in a sling and carefully nursed they often recover. There probably have been i more cases at Vincennes than at any other point. These cases Have been noted for about two months while at Columbus and Peru they have existed only about two weeks. The disease at Columbus and Peru affects the respiratory organs, but Dr. Nelson believes that this is an after result of a disease that very closely resembles ptomaine poisoning. One of the first symptoms is a discharge at the nostrils, which becomes offensive. There are ulcerations in the mouth and nose. There appears no way to save the animals. At the end of two to four days they die. j

A Simple Remedy to Correct Constipation Before It Becomes Chronic. Very few people go through life without some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong cathartics, salts, mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become. A physic or purgative is seldom necessary, and much better and more permanent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet it is so compounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by persons suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It is a fact that millions of families have Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like those of Mr. H. W. Fenstermaker, Sigefried, Pa. He says he has had wonderful results from the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, that, in fact, he has never found a remedy so good, and he is glad to recommend it. The special

MR. H. W. FENSTERMAKER value of this grand laxative tonic is that it is suited to the needs of every member of the family. It is pleasanttasting, mild and non-griping. Unlike harsh physics, it works gradually and in a very brief time the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to do their work naturally again, when all medicines can be dispensed with. You can obtain a bottle at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. The latter size is usually bought by families who already know Its value. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 419 Washington street, Monticello, 111. A postal card with your name and address on it will do.
