LONG SCOFFS AT MAN'S IDEA OF GOOD LUCK

Contending that th triumvirate of words, taw, Leva and Habit, were the tinea t la tba English language because tbey controlled life's happiness, Sylvester A.' Long c: Dayton. O.. delivred an Interesting address on the subject. "Lightning and Toothpicks," before a crowd of men at the Gennett theatre. Sunday afternoon.. The 04IX cura for craduloua notions baaed on supersutution, he said, was an appreciation of the fact of the universal reign of law, . Love, he declared, was production and protection of life, and habits' were the things , you did WithOUt thinking. ! ; ' " -V; 7 ':; v "There is no such thing as chance or lu"k. in -i a man's life." said Mr. Long, "there Is an unchanging principle of law behind all the things we don't understand. Everything seems to happen suddenly Is probably- the reason why we think there is an element of . luck or chance In It. People Ignore Nature. "One reason why we have bo many poor folks Is because there are .people who cannot or will not give the world what it wants. Nature, never deceives us. She to impartial .and asks - only one question. 'Are you in harmony with Nature's laws?' "The .universal thought of love Is the most real thing the world has. I don't mean the cheap, sentimental lore because Charity. Benevolences and Kindnesses are evidences rather of a lack" of love." The speaker paid a tribute to Mccormick, the Inventor of the harvester, E4lon, Morse, Bell and other inventere, maintaining that their work" was the greatest evidence of reallqve. The greatea V barrier to national progress, barring national accident, is ignorance and Inefficiency. -Nine tenths of the trouble is due. to somebody not doing their work intelligently and skilfully. "Habits, the things you do without thinking. Habit saves time and labor. I would plead tor you to develop mental, power., When you think, think something." Throughout his iddress Mr. Long told innumerable funny stories.' Before the opening of bis speech.
