He admitted that he had been afflicted, and was sore perplexed. But his repentance for his ill-considered utterance was the acknowledgement of the blessings bestowed upon him and the mercy , he enjoyed, for which he returned thanks. Just now David has many imitators. Men in their haste are saying things they perhaps will repent of when they have taken time to consider. They are inclined to magnify events, and find in the unusual happen ings justification, for believing they are usual. This is wrong. The ordinary, even flow of life is broken now and again by some experience that startles people. It soon disappears, however, or makes way for some other wonder. The mind is kept moving from object to object, from impression to impression, by a series of events not always of first importance. They challenge attention, and fre quently lead to hasty conclusions as unwarranted as the sweeping charge made by David in his haste. • • * Cynical philosophers, beginning far back in man’s history, and culminating in Nietsche, have as sumed the innate wickedness of man. From that premise, they argue. They teach the unworthiness of natural man. By a series of syllogisms, in which the major premise rests on the utter baseness of man’s nature, demonstrate his failure to attain the height others claim for him. Such reasoning, fre quently inverted, serves to sustain some who follow their selfish desires to such ends that now and then the world is startled by the sudden emergence of a monstrous thing and marvels that it can be in form of man. It is comforting to turn from contemplation of such intellectual ugliness to the presence of a sweeter and more vital philosophy. Follow David, if you will, through his fortunes and vicissitudes. Take Job and his trials. Note how they were upheld s nd vindicated by a faith that answered all ques tions. Resolved all doubts. Removed all fears. It was not only faith in God, but in their fellow men. It is quite as easy and much more natural to think well of one’s fellows as it is to be on your guard rgainst them continually. It is not well always to he anticipating evil from them. * * * The dishonest man, the wicked man, is the excep tional man. He is not in the majority. It would he a sorry thing for this world if he were. His ex istence is recognized. An elaborate system of ma chinery in the shape of the law has been built up to protect society from him as far as possible. Law ran not prevent misdeeds, else there would be none to record. Only the man can keep himself free from wrongdoing. The law will mete out a pun i hment to him, if he is overtaken, but his act is his own. 'It is only through the disposition of man to deal fairly and justly with his neighbor at all times that community life is made possible. Re spect for the rights of those around him, even as he expects his own to be regarded, is the cornerstone of civilization. “Intellectual anarchists” generally come to grief, because they arc unable to adjust conditions that .surround them to their narrow views. It is a pe i illiar Avonkr.ee-. of such that they confine their thought-, and aspirations to a circle as small as themselves, and mistake such action for breadth of view. Refusing to recognize any law, they are re sponding at all times apd all points to the laws of nature. Failing to break through or around them they wreck their aspirations against a wall that would have protected them had they exercised nor mal perception and noted that the barrier is there for man’s good and not necessarily to restrict him. * * * The law of love is the law of harmony. Only when there is harmony is there happiness. A well balanced life is one that can give true value to all its elements. The perverted mind that revels in its aranchy can not do this. A brilliant mind will at tain a point quicker than a dull one, which jpust plod through a long course of reasoning to reach thi goal attained perhaps at a single leap by the brighter. Yet when the point is reached, so far as it is concerned the minds are on a level. This brings understanding, and regard. The one learns from the other, and out of the intercourse established be tween them is born a community of interest which lead* toward harmony. Philosophy such as this is taught by the real leaden of mankind, and there have been more of them than of the Schopenhauers or Nietsches. Their teaching is the more enduring, because it tends to direct man on a way to happiness he can share with others. There is no talk of superman or superior minds in them. No “intellectual anarchist” ever found hit inspiration in the works of those who have labored to show the true way to peace and content on earth and the sustaining hope of something more worthy in a world to come. SOLOMON’S IDEA WAS GOOD. Down Boston way the science of raising children haa gone far along the line of psychology. So far, Indeed, that to an old-fashioned mind, it appears to have very nearly reached the jumping off place. One reported case from the clinic on child habits may be cited as an illustration. The patient was 3 years old, suffering from * under-development, due to under-nourishment. Men tally bright and responsive, the patient was phy sically weak and backward. Parents were “co-oper tive.” Treatment consisted chiefly in denying the patient candy, apples, nuts, and the like at odd times, and presenting properly prepared food at regular periods. Allowing enough time to eat slowly, but not enough to permit playing with food. Three months of this treatment brought the result that the patient not only partook of vegetables and meat as well, but would drink a tumbler of milk. Stubbornness was overcome to such degree that the patient even took pride in telling the doctor of im provement. Marvellous. A genuine triumph for modern science. In days of old the practice was to let the stubborn youngster get hungry enough, by not hu moring him or pampering him between meals. Then, when he came to the table he usually was ready to eat whatever was set before him, and relished it. Stubbornness was modified, if not eradicated, by proper doses of strap oil. The slipper is a success as a-counter irritant. We do not want to be listed among the reaction aries, but we do think that Solomon was right. A little firmness on part of parents, backed up if need be with a limber rod, will work wonderful cures among children who are now being turned over to specialists. "* “GIVE ’EM WHAT THEY WANT.” Wherever else the delegates to the democratic convention may have strayed while in New York, they did not go to the theater. This is proven by the fact that on Saturday night, when the affair at Madison Square Garden was going its best, ten plays at as many theaters gave up the ghost. Managers of playhouses registered disappointment, even dis gust, at* the turn of events. They had counted on some additional business, and did not get it. The plays were not of the cheap variety. Some had been on the boards for months, and all had been profitable. / Here is one time the managers’ maxim turned against them. When any objection is raised to the quality of entertainment at the public halls, the answer is simple. Pointing to the box office record, the manager says, “The public wants it.” Usually the argument ends there. As a rule the manager is an entrepreneur, a trafficker in amusement. He doe^ not waste much time in trying to develop pub lic taste, nor to direct ideas. His effort is to learn, if he can, what will draw andHhen he proceeds to “give them what they want.” In New York the people wanted excitement, and Madison Square Garden afforded it. No play ever housed in a theater could equal that for its appeal to the popular mind. Great actors may stride the stage and delight their audiences with histrionic triumphs. Here were actors as great, presenting real life, not the imitation mimicry. Passions were ; intense, and were felt, not simulated. Newton D. Baker’s tears were real, “Pat” Harrison’s invective was genuine. Senator Walsh shot over his vitupera tion in earnest at a real opponent. William Jen nings Bryan melted his heart with sympathy far more sincere than ever trickled over the woes of a I wronged maiden or abused child behind the foot lights. How could even a New York theater compete against such an attraction? It will be long before the world witnesses another exhibition like the one at Madison Square Garden. COMING RIGHT ALONG. % Nebraska quietly and unostentatiously pays it* regards to a number of national bird% First, per ; haps, the American eagle, whose call is always | heeded. Then, Biddy the Hen, red, white, or I speckled, “Dominicker” or Leghorn, comes along as one of the great wealth producers of the state. How many mortgages Biddy the Hen has lifted can not be told, but she certainly has taken part in many such an endeavor. Along in the fall of the year, the ] turkey gets his share of attention, although his price j has been so high of late years that he is sold more often than he is eaten out this way. ■ * All the year around, every day in the year, Ne 1 luaska honors the stork. Utah set up a shout once j to the effect that “Babies are Utah's best crop!” Nebraska has not done much boasting on this or any | > iher score, but the record keeps mounting right along. Cedar county, for example, looks up the books and finds that in 1923 births numbered 445 and deaths but 106, more than 4 to 1 for the stork, j Dixon county swung in with 267 births and 82 deaths; Wayne county had 220 births and 84 deaths; Pierce, 293 and 76 respectively, and Knox 422 and 138. The good people of northeast Nebraska are to be congratulated on their fecundity. Nebraska is one of the best states in the union for a baby to be born in, for the chances of the little I one surviving here are greater than in almost any j other state. We may not be picking up many in- i habitants by immigration, but certainly the state can produce its own, and know them to be of su perior quality. If George Washington is really the father of his country the chances are that he is ashamed of some of his children when he looks over that New York convention. The conference that meets at Cleveland on July 4 will be in possession of at least two political plat forms that do not embody the Wisconsin resolutions. • Doubtless Tex Rickard regrets that the New York ! i boxing laws will not let his entertainments go as i many rounds as the democratic convention. For the seventh time Mr. Ramsay Macdonald was reminded who is boss when the liberals carried n motion the chancellor of the exchequer opposed. All right for the airplane to laugh at the locomo tive, but the latter rumbles along with tons where the former carries ounces. A Baltimore barher say* women will not adopt man’s style of hair cut*. What doe* he know about what women will do? Nonpartisan leaguers are In the saddle again in North Dakota, but are acting through the repub lican party, as usual. There sent* to be a growing class of people who want laws to do for them what they are too lasy to do for themselves. Next time Senator Wheeler wants Gaslon B. Means, he will know where to find him in a federal penitentiary. Another hoy has come to grief trying to start married life on a forged check. He was caught in time. "Geneva Watches American Interest in League" headlines the Now York Sun, That is a watch that long since ran down. The democratic platform put* the soft pedal on the hard coal plank, and its railroad plank is run ning on flat wheela. > LET’S GET BACK. I'm longing for those good old day* When church folk did not hire To sing for them the songs of praise A high-toned sal’ried choir. I want to hear the songs of old That lulled me into rest, When not a wave of trouble rolled Across my peaceful breast. The churches now are built so fine At such tremendous cost, That membership must peak and pine, With countless sinners lost. They have a system In the church And praise the Lord by rote, While sinners are left in the lurch With ail their sins to tote. I'm anxious now to hear some mort Of Him who died for me; Of Him who all my sorrows bore On the accursed tree. I want to hear a preacher talk Of Jesus crucified; Of Him who at my side doth walk, And guards, whate'er betide. Dearly beloved, our, text this morning is divided, the first section being found in Gal. 6:2, and the second in Acts 17:21: "Bear ye one another's burdens, and fulfill the law of Christ.” "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.’’ It took a miracle to convince Peter that it was his Lord's command that he was to carry the word to the Gentile as well as to the Jew. That was pretty hard for an orthodox Jew to - do, and naturally Peter didn't believe it when he first heard it. But Peter, being different from some of the self-appointed dis pensers of the Almighty's bounty today, did not hesitate after being shown. When Philip's attention was called to the Ethio pian eunuch reading Ksaias the prophet, Philip didn't turn up his nose because the eunuch was a black man. Not so; Philip immediately joined up with the colored friend and brother, sat with him and explained to him the word. Proscribing men because of color, creed or nativity, la not "bearing one another's burdens.” Leaving a man to grope in mental darkness because the color of his skin is different Is not following the example set by Philip, and mighty few of us, j dearly beloved, are worthy of being classed with the intrepid missionary who wasn't too good to teach and counsel the black man. The spectacle of men holding aloft the cross upon which the Redeemer of the world was crucified, while proscribing their fellows because of creed or color, is not calculated to bring all nations to the foot of that cross. The Kingdom of God on earth will remain an iridescent dream so long as men persecute their fellows "for the love of Christ.” Society may rightfully demand that there be social dividing lines, but stand ing in the presence of the Divine Father the humblest and most exalted of society are upon a common level. If the dying Savior upon Calvary could turn to the penitent thief upon the neighboring cross and say, "Today shalt thou v be with Me in paradise.” does it become any one of us to ar rogate to ourselvea the right to say that we are the Judge of men's faith, or that it has been left to us to decide who shall approach God's altar and table, or in what circumstances? "Be ye not puffed up." The Pharisee condemned by the Master for thanking God that he was not as other men, is being con demned today by that same Master. Now, dearly beloved, in humbleness of spirit, serving’th# Lord, let us stand and sing— "Just as I am without on# plea But that Thy blood was shed for me; And that Thou bidet me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.” And singing, let u* remember that the Father iRsue* the invitation, and it Is not for any man to say who shall answer thereto. Thus endeth the day;* lesson. WILL M. MAUPIN. _ J * I - - - ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ ■ ■■■ ■ ""lr Told of Kit Carson, Famous Scout} From the Now Tork Times. Colonel Calvin Duvall Cowles, U. B. A., retired, of Hartford. Conn,, kins man of Kit Carson, famous Indian fighter and scout, told hitherto unpub lished stories of the frontiersman ob tained by him while preparing a his tory of the arson family. Colonel Cowles’ Interview was brought about by the publication In the Times on May 18, of the reminiscences ofi Dr. William Carson Boone of this city, concerning Daniel Boone. Dr. Boone told of meeting Kit Carson while a boy, and of assuming the name Car son after sitting on the scout's knee and listening to his tales of adven ture. The genealogy compiled by Colonel Cowles, whose grandmother. Nancy Caroline Duvall, was first cousin of Kit Carson,"begins w-ith William Car son, Kit s grandfalher, who came from the north of Ireland to Penn sylvania, and later Joined a group of i’ennaylvanians, including the Boone family, in their migration to what la now Iredell county, North Carolina, «ome time between 1738 and 1748. lie settled on a grant of 692 acres of land obtained from Lord Granville. <'oionel Cowles said: * • • "Whether Mr. Carson settled on the land before or after he obtained the grant In 1761 is not known. The country was then Infested with In dians and wild beasts, and he was there In good time for the exercise of his adventurous nature, which cropped out In the dfslre of Inter generations of Carsons to fight In dians. wild beasts, or anything else that occasion might require." William Carson married Eleanor DufT in North Carolina, and had seven children, the eldest of whom was Lindsay, father of Kit Carson. Its died from an overdraught of cold water while harvesting grain ons hot day. but the date is not definitely known to his descendanta. Lindsay Carson, who was born August i. 1754. Inherited his father’s lands un der the law of primogeniture then in force, ills eon, Kit. wns the 10th of 14 children. "Lindsay Carson bore sn honorable part in the Revolutionary war, hav ing served unlit the end." said Colonel Cow les "A rifle he had carried, which was given to hla children, was of large caliber, with part of the stock missing. It was shot away at the same time Lindsay loat several Angers from Ills Isft hand, lie removed from North Carolina to South Carolina in about 1786, and In 1792 went to Marti son county, Kentucky, and finally e* tahllahed his home in Howard coun ty.

"The fort was a little settlement of log ratlins, protected by n high stock ade ns a defenae against the Indians. All of his sons came honestly by tlieli isputation as Indian Ashlers lie was once attacked by two Indians, and bad shot one when the other dosed In upon him. in a hand-to-hand com bat he killed the Indian with the savage's own knife "Lindsay Carson's descendants are scattered mainly through the Rocky Mountain region and the middle western states. A letter from a grandson as)*: 'All of |j|* sons, with out a single exception, went west in search of the Indians and buffalo. Now* that thn Indian is guarded on tile reservations. ,end the buffalo is about extinct. 1 am at a loss to know whnt their descendang will do for pastime.' " • • • Christopher, or Kit, Carson was 2 vents old when his parents moved from Kentucky to Missouri. When still a child he took Ills turn at watch ing with the men while the settlers fought the Indians during the War of 1512 \ln the protection of Cooper's Fort. Ono of the family traditions mi la that Kit Caraon once said: "I was a young boy In the school house when the cry came. ‘Indians!’ I lumped to my rifle, threw down my spelling book and there It Ilea.” f'blonel Cowles said that moat of the facts concerning Kit Carson's early history came from his sister. Mary Ann, who was born during the exciting days In Cooper's Fort, Mai 25, IS 14, and later became Mrs. Henry M. Rubey. Mrs. Rubey's account of her brother’s start as a frontiersman differs from his own. She said: "Kit was a smart little fellow at hts books. Falher meant to make a law yer out of him. but soon after we moved out of the fort and were get ting along pretty well, father waa ac cidentally killed when the limb of a tree fell on him. Mother then sent Kit, who was 15 years old, to Krank lln to learn the saddler's trade. He didn't like it. for the only use he had for the saddle was on a horse s back. "Thre or four older brothers had begun trudlng between St. Louts and Santa Fe. Ktt begged to go with them. Mother promised that If he would stay another year at Franklin ho might go on the next trip. The boys set out and got as far as Inde pendence with their, train of pack animals, when one morning to their surprise, Kit rode up on a mule. They told him he would have to go back, because he was too young to make the trip. He pretended to start for home, hut after he had gone only s short distance he turned the animal loose, and of course the snlma! made straight for home After that the boys had to take him with them, end that waa the last we saw of him for 15 years. s • • "These years he spent In trading trapping and hunting and In becnm Ing more familiar with tha Indian customa and language During this time he married an Indian woman, who died after he became famous Hr then returned to hla old home with Adeline, their little daughter, whom he left with one of hla sisters. Kto was thoroughly educated In a girls school In Fayette. Mo. He took her finally to California, w-here she mar lied and settled with her husband on a large stock ranch " Colonel Cowles gave this description of Kit Carson: "He was only 5 feet, a Inches tall hut. except for the shortness of hi legs, was strongly and symmetrical^ built, his weight being alauit ISO pounds.

V. A. BRIDGE, Clr. Mtr. Subart Ibed and aworn to before ma tkla Bth day of Juno, 1924. W H. QUIVEY, (Seal) Matary Public /• Gwen, a Llewellyn Setter V . .— .. — — A Chicago paper ha* lately printed a shocking attack «>n the dog. spon sored by a widely-known popular writer who is commonly felt,, to rep resent all that is humane and genial. Unnumbered readers must be pained and horrified at the savage diatribe by a naturalist who, "for obvious reasons,” the writer says, remains nameless. X have hoped that some gifted per son of eminence and fine feeling, like Agnes Reppiier, might be roused to write in censure of this "nameless naturalist,” and in defense of the creature who lives in the closest, most useful relation to man. But perhaps she would not condescend to notice such a preposterous onslaught —almost too prepusterious to do much harm, yet mischievous to a certain extent. Many people feel it cueliy unfair that their loved and trusted dog friends should be so assailed by enemies having the advantage of celebrity and high repute, with no voice lifted in remonstrance. Senator Vest's classic eulogy of the dog is too well known to quote; and so, too, the famous story of Oelert, and uncount ed other instances of canine courage and devotion. Peopje may be divided into two classes—those who love dogs, and those who do not. The second class includes burglars and the like, the case-hardened, and those subject to natural antipathies. A burglar nat urally commends the patent buriar alarm as better protection than a dog. We all know it is not, and the police know it—and so does the burglar. This naturalist says the dog is “es sentially a coward and killer. At night every dog feels the impulse to kill.” Millions of dog owners could brand that as absolute falsehood. There are abnormal dogs, of course, just as there are abnormal humans, such as Chicago Is now becoming acquainted with. No normal dog shows the dis position revealed by those noted young Chicago gentlemen. What mother would not feel her children safer in the care of a good house dog than exposed to the clutches of such young decadents? As to cowardice —the charge comes with a bad grace from anyone whose own fears urge the barbaric use of the muzzle on hapless things who are then indeed driven wild. There are many people who need muzzling far more than the creatures they so desperately dread! The dog is descended from the wolf, says his enemy. Quite so; as the fire cat is descended from the tiger or the leopard, and as civilized man is de scended from the primitive, predatory savage. What of it? If they have all developed into valued adjunct* to so ciety, is it not to their credit? "The reaeon men like dogs Is be j cause dogs arc loyal to them and i afraid of them." Absurd’ The aver ; age man who "likes dogs" has a j strong natural love for them; the boy] who does not love a dog is a freak, and a rather repellent one. I»ogs are not afraid of their friends Their de votlon to their masters is a proverb] —and "perfect love rasteth out fear | Does the dog that saves its baby play mate from drowning do so because it is "afraid of him?" What uttei non sense! I wish Albert Payson Ter hune, or C. O, McIntyre, would pay his respects to this perverted natur alist. "A sentiment," says he. "i hard to combat." True enough. Then thank the Lord for sentiment, that In these flippant days of modernism is still persists! Even as I write, s life Is softly breathing Itself away that for 12 years has safeguarded this home. A gentle loyal life, and a fairly happy one, thanks to the Power that created dogs no less than human beings. Owen is not suffering Death itself is being kind to the kindest spirit that ever looked out of beautiful, solemn brown e'er. A timid spirit, but not timid enough to shirk her mission a* she saw it. No stranger hand could touch the remotest gate of ours without rousing her not# of warning to the household, no intrud er could walk the grounds without her escort—perfectly free from hog. file Intent, but steadfastly on duty tl’l help arrived, when she fell silent as usual. Growling was a practlct unknown to her, and biting nevet dreamed of. It waa pleasant, entering the gar den dusIT of summer nights, to see the quiet white shape coming aoftly with waving tali, out of the shadows wishing for the touch of familial hands on her silky head. And it was pleasant to feel that assurance of safety given by a watcher whose zeal never flags, and whose ear is alert for danger with a keenness unknown to human ears. Twelve years is a good while to keep the faith; a lifetime—for a dog! How many of our human friends do as well? Those who love animals will know with what a shock at this moment of losing the faithful guardian, I read the barbarous propaganda against her kind—approved by a man whose writings I have so often read with sympathy, and fancied them inspired by all humane and kindly impulses: Tor her sake and for the myriads ot her race equally beloved and relied upon, I write this in rebuke to their detractors, and in pretest against that vicious diatribe—a calumny as cruel as it is unfounded and ridiculous. A. L. M. K. r ' > Uncanning Music v/ From the Indianapolis News. The professional musician is likely to have a cavalier attitude toward "canned music" as something which mechanizes an art, the supreme value of which is that it is individual and creative. Whatever justice may be in this criticism, the fact remains that machine music has within the last two decades added legions to the ranks of music lovers. To the ele mental Jove of simple melodies and the lilt of catchy topical songs has been added an appreciation of the complexity of harmonies; people who never attended grand opera have not only acquired a familiarity with the best operatic music but they have also to know the best voices in the world and to discriminate between them; a symphony is no longer a mere meaningless crash of sound, and the full orchestra is something other than an organization for play ing a tune more or less noisily. In a word what is known as the "world of music" has been unsealed to thou sands who never would have entered Into It by way of cultivated musical circle*. Many have developed a taste for much that is had. but those who have discovered the best have Justi fied canned music. A corollary from this Is that to ths technicians who have come to love music from study and practice are added more naive people who know nothing and care less about technique but who love what they love hecau«e It has made its way with them as easily, naturally and unpretentiously as did the songs their mothers sang to them In child hood. It is time that those who write about music came to address themselves to this audience. Not' in music alone but in all the arts there has been a tendency to ex clusiveness that does not accord with what may he called the democratic desire—the desire to share with all men whatever riches there may be. With the perfecting of the radio the appreciation of music is likely to In crease It is frequently remarked that the general level of taste in some of the European countries where music ha* been an inheritance of the masses for generations is higher than In this country. It looks as If America were due to catch up with them by a more expeditious process. I Where’s His Grave? j By ALTA WKKNWICK BKOWN. I sail life's surging chaos sea Dividing Peace and earth.

My starry flag full soon shall point Beyond the surges; then No more to mourn, no more to yearn, 1 11 meet and greet again My dear brave boy now lost to sight. Yes, there o'er Jordan’s wave, Again I'll hold him to my heart Nor question where's his grave? How Small Is an Atom? Benjamin Harrow In tha July Harpar*.. Some of the great physicists have attempted an estimation of atomic sizes in a number of Ingenious ways. Some dyes, for example, will exhibit color even when diluted 100,006,00t limes, which can be interpreted as meaning that the smallest weighable particle of such a dye may be di vided into 100.000,000 parts. Faraday prepared films of gold ths thickness of which he estimated to be one hun- ^ dred millionth of an inch. Continuous films with soap bubbles and with oil were obtained after their thickness could hardly have been more than one-eighth the thickness of Faraday's gold leaf. Further and more compli cated experiments and calculations in volving such phenomena as viscosity and conduction of heat In gases, yielded a figure which indicated that six hundred million million atoms oc cupy one cubic inch of ground. Since these numbers have no more meaning than the present day billion and trillion mark quotations, let us re sort ta a few analogies. If a drop of water were magnified to the size of the earth, the constituent atoms would be about the size of footballs. Or. to use a variation of this analogy, if the constituent atoms In a tumbler of water would all be labeled for later identification, and the water were then mixed with all the water In the world, and if, after thorough mixing, the tumbler were again filled, it would contain 2,000 of the original atoms. If you are bent upon linking the marks with the atom, you may use this analogy, due to Dr. Foote If the poper marks are taken as being worth *0 cents per trillion, one paper mark would still be enough to buy three billion gold atoms' Coming to Omaha?
