SAMPSON had not no tlced that silence had fall en In the outer office. Tht clatter of typewriters was stilled; the hum of activ ity had ceased. Deferentially his door was opened, and Jones, the head ‘clerk, enter^ “I Juar thought JM^Srop any. *M€rry Christmas,’ Mr. Sampson. To morrow’s Christmas, you know.** *‘So It is, Jones, but I don’t see any thing to be merry about People buy ing things they can’t afford, and eat ing more than they can digest Isn’t It sor Jones hesitated. Mr/ Sampson was a man of strong <^lnlona “Well, speak up 1 If I’m wrong— show me!” “I think yon are wrong, sir, if I may say so. If you’d a little flock of kiddies you'd see it differently." “But I haven’t and that doesn’t convince me.” “You see,** the bead clerk went on, emboldened, “to be happy, any day, yon have to think about other peo ple. and that just comes natural at Chrlstmaa” Mr. Sampson waa silent for some mo- E'.rnts, while he gazed through the window at the Cu'!: settling over the city. When he q;>o!ie the ness of his voice was mellowed. “To be happy I have to avoid think ing of other people,** he said. Jones felt himself dismissed, and silently withdrew. He knew some thing of his chiefs unhappy lore af fair, which had left him worse than a widower, and had turned all his great ability toward making money, a pur suit In which he had been particu larly successful. But from happiness he seemed to be permanently divorced. At the door of the office building an hour later Mr. Sampson was con fronted by an urchin with the chal- lengA "Buy a pai)er, sir?” Ordi narily he would have Ignored the child, but Jones’ injunction, ‘You have to think of other people,’ was Insistent In his ears. He bought a paper, and, on an Impulse, questioned the lad. “Had your supper?” “No, sir. I don’t get supper *tll I get my papers sold.” “How would you like to come and have supper with me?” The boy lodud.bls aurpHse. *Tou mean It?” ' ^ “Yes, I mean It Come along.** But the boy demurred. “Can’t go *111 I sell my papers. This is the best hour, and I got to keep busy." He made a deft sale to k passer by with out Interrupting the convemtlon. “How many papers have you left** “Twenty.” Mr. Sampson counted out forty cents. **ni buy them alL Now we can go to supper.” He led the puzzled boy across the street His flrst thirnght was his club, but be changed his mind and turned Into a cheap but wholesome restau rant Here he ordered a meal and they ate together. Once convinced that there waa no trick about It the boy attacked his food with gusto, while his host looked on WHh more enjoyment than he had experienced for many a day. By judicious ques tioning he learned that the boy's name, like his own, was George; he lived upstairs at 18 Garrett street; he had a father and mother, an older sister, and a younger brother. He ventured a more delicate ques tion : “Does Santa Claus come to your house, George?” “He used to, but dad’s been out of work for a long while,” he boy re- plied, wistfully. “And the baby’t sick, so mother can’t go out to work, and it takes all Jean and me— and I—can earn just to keep things going.” “I’m sure It does,” said , Mr. Sampson, “li^’ell, I must get along now. You can go home edrly to* night** He parted wlUi the boy, but Imme diately went to a telephone. “Hello, Morgan?

When one of them announces that the purdiaser of a glass of Ivine should be sentenced to ten years in prison, or that the army should be called out to shoot down citizens who make who<^;>ee, the common sense of people rebels. **TtIla too mudh,**^ they mttrmirr. The murmur is not loud, but it is deep. The murmurers are not given to analyzation, and they have little tal ent for putting their thoughts into words.vNoae the less, they are consci^ ous that a law which makes a Chris tian tali( aiul act in such an dnehria- tian fashion must be open to serious doubt. And, if goaded far enough, they will do something about it. A wonderful thing about the uni verse is its all-pervading law of bal ance. For every star there is some other star to hold it in place. For every poison there is an antidote. For every abuse there is some natural cor rective. “Things refuse to be mismanaged long,” as Emerson pointed out. “Though no checks to a new evil ap pear, the checks exist and vnll ap pear. If the government is cruel, the governor’s life is not safe.’If you ta: too high, the revenue will yield noth ing. If you make the criminal code sanguinary, juries will not convict.” nourished and died, without laying aay eggs. And the next year there were no pray .worms. I take much comfort in this story. i I do not mean to suggest that we should sit supin^y by and allow wrongs to get so bad that they correct themselves. We should whoop it up for righteousness and take a poke at evil. -But it’s goad t^-hnow that, after all,' we have a mighty helper. The law of balance is on our side.

But few of the guilty are now alive. The natural destroyer of the gang is the gang. A wise old friend of mine told me that he wasted ten years of his life in worrying about the possible destruc tion of his garden and trees by pests. The grpsy moths came and ate. The grass hoppers came and laid to waste. Finally, Came the army worms, threat ening to consume every leaf and blade of grass. What happened?
