R. 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

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,

If the Eighteenth amendment is
overthrown it will not be by the wets.
The over-zealotii drys will talk it out
of the Constitution as they talked it
•in.
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. Ihe conqueror
of every army worm is the army
worm.

I read recently a book on the gangs
of Chicago. It conUined an appalling
list of murders for which the law has
secured no convictions. 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? The army worms
became so bad that there was not
food enough. Hence, they were under-
