PAROLED PRISONER OF CAMDEN JAILED ON THEFT CHARGE

KATOX, Ohio. Jan. 9. Raymond Lunsford, of Camden, paroled prisoner from the state reformatory, vr&s lodped In the county jail here Monday in default of $1000 bond, on a burglary charge, the bond beins fixed by Mayor V. G. Shuey, of Camden, after a preliminary hearing. The prand jury, in session Monday, considered his case and returned an Indictment of burglary against him. I.unsford was arrested for allegedly breaking into the home of George Thompson, in Camden, and stealing a quantity of wearing apparel. It is said he was wearing a shirt, trousers and pair of shoes of Thompson's when arrested. However, he pleaded not guilty at his hearing.

Lunsford was paroled from the re

formatory about three months ago,

lie was sent up for stealing money and bank certificates of deposit from

an individual. It is expected an of

fleer from the reformatory will come to Eaton and return Lunsford to the

institute to complete his former sen

tence. The grand jury indictment will

stand against him.

With the Preble County Historical society back of it, a movement has been 6tarted looking to purchase by

1he state of the old Ft. St. Clair site.

just to the west of Eaton, where In

dlans and whites engaged in bloody

battle, Nov. 6, 1792. The object of

purchase i3 to preserve the sight as a

state park.

Petitions are being circulated

among electors and citizens through

out the country, requesting the state

legislature to furnish an appropriation for purchase of the 6ite, which mbraces 70 acres. It is expected the petitions will be presented to the legislature by State Senator C. M. Kumler and Representative Harry Silver, both of Preble county.

The first annual celebration of Ft. St. Clair day was observed Nov. 6, last, the 130th anniversary of the Indian-white battle. The celebration included dedication of a Preble county boulder monument and flagstaff presented by Maj. W. H. Ortt, Civil war veteran and member and officer of the county historical society. Since then Maj. Ortt has had placed on the

old fort sit a cannon anil pyramid of cannon balls. All to memory of sit white soldiers who fell before the Indians and are buried at the fort. The graves are marked with marble markers and bear the names of the fallen warriors.

Preble county schools turned in a total of 464 memberships in the late lied Cross roll call conducted in Preble county by the county Red Cross chapter. Miss Myrtle Benham, of Eaton, executive secretary of the chapter announces. Three silver cups were offered to the first three schools ranking highest in the contest. The cups have not yet been awarded, but it is probable they will be in a special meeting of the chapter executive committee Thursday in Eaton. West Alexandria schools ranked first in the contest, with 136 memberships. Iewishurg was second, with 89 and Jackson township was third, with 70. Jefferson township schools turned in 36 memberships; College Corner,

"WILL AND IMAGINATION" ' When we open a dictionary and

look for the sense of the word "will'' we find the following definition: "Faculty to freely determine all our ac

tions." We accept this definition as true and indisputable, but there is no

greater fallacy. This will which we so proudly assert always gives way to the imagination. This is an absolute rule without a single exception.

Blasphemy 1 Paradox! you say. Not

at all. Truth! Absolutely truth, I re

ply.

And in order to convince yourself

of this truth open your eyes, look about you and try to comprehend what you see. You will then under

stand that what I assert is not an

empty theory,, engendered by a dis

ordered brain, but the plain express ion of an actual fact.

Suppose that we place on the floor

a plank thirty feet long and ten inch

es wide. It is evident that everybody would be able to walk along that

plank from one end to the other with out stepping off. Now change the con ditions of the experiment and sup

pose that this plank is placed, let us

say, as high as the towers of a ca

thedral; where then Is the person

capable of walking only a single foot along that narrow path made by the board? Doubtless no. You wouldn't take two steps before you began to tremble, and, in spite of all the efforts

of your will-power, you certainly tumble to the ground. Possible and Impossible-

All Imagination

Why is it that you do not fall when

the plank is on the ground? And how

is it that you do not fall when It is raised to any great height? Simply because in the first case you imagine that it is easy to walk to the end of that plank, while in the second case you imagine that it is impossible. Observe that you may will to walk along it as much as you please, but if you imagine that you cannot, it is absolutely impossible for you to do it. Dizziness is caused by the image formed in our minds that we are going to fall. This image transforms itself immediately into the act, in spite of all efforts of our will, and even the more quickly the more vio

lent our will efforts are to the contrary. Let us consider the case of a person afflicted with insomnia. If he makes no effort to sleep he will rest quietly in his bed. If. on the contrary, he "wants" to sleep, the greater his efforts to go to sleep the more restless he becomes. Have you ever noticed the fact that the more you try to remember the name of a persou, which for the mo

ment you have forgotten, the harder it becomes for you to recall, until

you dismiss the thought "I have for

gotten'' and think instead "it will

come back to my mind;" then the

name comes to you naturally and

without the least effort?

Those who ride bicycles will readily

recall their first efforts. While holding on tightly to the handlebars for

fear of a fall, suddenly you observe

in the road a harmless little pebble or

perhaps even a horse. You try to

avoid the obstacle, but the more you

try to avoid it the straighter you go

right to it.

Two separate indictments charging assault and battery were returned against George Herron, living near Lewisbur, by the grand jury, in session here Monday. Raymond Lunsford. of Camden, was indicted for burglary. In all, seven indictments were returned, four of which are withheld from publication for the present. Four cases were ignored. Sixteen wit. nesses were examined in covering the 11 cases. Nine cases were in the criminal docket of common pleas court for investigation when the jury convened. Ability of the jury to complete its work in one day was complimented by Judge Risinger. Miss Marie Thum, of Eaton, was foreman of the body.

Reorganization of the new board of commissioners of Preble county was effected by electing Elwood Coblentz, of New Paris, president; Ed. Rinck, of West Alexandria, is the new member of the board. W. 15. Cline, of Camden, is the other old member.

Fit of Laughter

Who has not at one time or anoth

er had an uncontrollable fit of laugh

ter that became uncontrollable with

each effort to suppress it?

What was the state of mind of

each of these persons? "I do not want to fall but I con't help it. I want to sleep but cannot. I would

like to remember the name o

Madame A., but I cannot. I want to

avoid that obstacle but cannot. I

want to suppress that laugh, but I

cannot."

You will readily see that In each

case, though under different circumstances, it was always the imagina

tion that carried away the will with

out a single exception.

Similarly, we note an officer rush

ing forward at the head of his troops:

his courageous example inspires them

to follow; but the cry, "Save your

selves!'' causes a disorderly and fatal retreat. Why? In the first case the men Imagine that they must march

lorwara, and in the second they im

agine that they are beaten and must

flee to escape death.

Panurge knew the contagion of ex

ample, or the force of imagination, when, to take revenge on a merchant

with whom he sailed, he seized and

threw overboard his biggest sheep

sure in advance that the whole herd would follow; which of course hap

pened. Human Beings Resemble Sheep

We human beings resemble more or

less a flock of sheep. Against our will

we follow the example of others, imagining that we can not do otherwise. I could cite thousands of other examples, only the enumeration would be tiresome. I can not, however, omit emphasizing this factor of the enormous power of imagination, otherwise called the Unconscious, in its fight against the will. Drunkards would gladly stop drinking, but they can not control themselves. Ask them. They will tell you, in all sincerity, that they would like to be abstemious, that drink is disgusting

to them, but that they are irresistibly

driven to drink, in spite of their will, and in spite of the evil consequences

which they know are sure to result.

In the same manner criminals com

mit crimes in spite of themselves.

When you ask them why they have acted that way, the reply: "I could not help myself, I was pushed to it, it was beyond my power of resistance."

And the drunkard as well as the

criminal speaks the truth; they are

forced to act as they do because they

imagine that they -can not help them

selves.

I do not say that your will is not a

power. On the contrary, it is a great

force; but it almost always turns against you. Your state of mind must be: "I desire to do (or to have) such and such a thing and I am about to do

(or to have) it." If you make no will-

efforts you will succeed.

Now then, we who are so-proud of

our will power; we who think that we act voluntarily; we are. in reality, only

poor puppets directed by our imagination which holds the reins. We cease to be puppets only after Ave have learned to consciously direct our imagina

tion. Suggestion and Auto-Suggestion We may properly compare the imagination to a torrent which carries to destruction the unlucky one who gets into its current, even in spite of his will and efforts to reach shored This torrent appears indomitable. But if you know how, you may turn it from its course, divert it, as it were, to the factory and transform its force into useful driving power, heat and electricity. Again, we may liken the imagination to a wild horse with neither bridle nor reins. What else can the rider do but to let the horse carry him where it will? Then, if the horse stumbles, the rider plunges into the ditch which stopped its mad career. But consider,

EARLY UNPUBLISHED WRITING BY KIPLING

SOUGHT BY AUTHOR

LONDON. Jan. 9. The earliest unpublished manuscript of Rulyard Kipling, one which he had forgotten existed, has been offered tor sale and the highest bidder so far is the author . himself. The manuscript contains 12 pages and is entitled "At the Pit's Mouth; Personal Recollections of Duncan Parreness Translated from th? Diary by It. K." and is valued by the owners at 800 pounds sterling. It was written in 1S84, while Kipling was a young journalist in India. The story is a satire on Anglo-Indian society, and tells of a man's love for a married woman. One of the "Wee Willie Winkle" stories by th same author has the same title. "At the Pit's Mouth," but except of the locality, the resemblance to this early

manuscript ends. Mr. Kipling, when informed that the manuscript had been purchased by the dealers, at first doubted its authenticity but on examination, he declared the work genuine, although ho only faintly remembers incidents connected with it. Efforts have been made to publish the manuscript, which is still protected by the original copyright, but Mr. Kipling has refused to give his sanction. This is said to be one of the reasons for his attempts to gain possession of the work.

if the rider puts bridle and reins on

the horse and breaks it to harness, the roles are changed. The horse no longer goes wherever it wants to;- it is the rider who now controls and directs all its movements. What is suggestion? One could define it as "the act of imposing an idea on the brain of another person." Is such action really possible? Properly speaking, no. Suggestion does not actually exist by itself.- It does not exist and can not exist except on the distinct condition, sine quo non, that it transforms itself in the other person's mind into auto-suggestion: and 1hi3

word we define as ''implanting an idea in one's self through one's self." You may suggest something to some one. If the unconscious of the latter does not accept that suggestion, if he does not digest it, so to speak, and transform it into auto-suggestion, no

effect is produced. It has happened to me, occasionally, that suggestions, more or less commonplace, when given to ordinarily obedient patients; have failed entirely. The reason was that the unconscious of those patients refused to accept the suggestions and did not transform them into auto-suggestions. (To Be Continued!
