As & matter of fact, no person is Jacking in faith. It is the groundwork of modern life as well as of ancient elvilization. The persons who are so quick to de- elare their lack of faith are thinking of § in the terms of doctrine, not in the every-day routine of business and home Bife, of college work and humdrum events, of national affairs and world ces. In all of these things, faith bas to be exercised or civilization srumbles. ‘The outstanding definition of faith is Pghe substance of things hoped for, the My Neighbor Says: If salt in salt shakers is damp, put the shakers on the back of the stove until the salt dries.

He proves his faith when “the substance of things hoped for” springs into existence through his exercise of that faith in developing what he men- tally visualized. If this were not so, the marvelous engineering feats could never be accomplished, the radio would never have been invented, nor the airplane. Faith is the fundamental necessity of progress. Business is built on faith. One firm has to have faith in those with whom it deals. Credit is founded on faith, and business deals are made in faith.

It is seldom that such faith, as herein ex- the fault of the principle but of un- worthy individuals. Faith in people continues to uphold business. Faith is the foundation of successful home life. A husband, a wife and the children must have faith in one another or misery results. Lack of faith spells ruin. Faith in one another inspires which he or she is invested. Students have faith in the knowledge of their instructors or education wanes. Schools and colleges have faith in the ability of the instructors and professors engaged. Patients have faith in their doctors. Nations have faith in the in- tegrity of other nations or wars result. In every phase of life faith is evidenced.

It was while he was reading law with Mr. George Wythe at Raleigh that seri- ous young Mr. Thomas Jeferson began | to_take an interest in the ladies. We say “serious” because the future President was attacking his preparation for life with deadly earnestness. Not only during his sojourn at William and Mary College, but afterward, when he was outside the classic halls, he gave over 15 hours a day to study and read- %ie found time, however, for a bit of diversion. Each day he took a gallop on horseback, and at twilight he would walk to the top of Monticello. Moreover, at night he was often found in the Apollo room of the Raleigh tavern, where the young folk of that part of Virginia were accustomed, to dance and make merry. Tom Jefferson was an intellectual, but an engaging one. Any broad-shouldered young gentleman, standing six feet two and a half inches in height, is apt to at- tract the attention of damosels, particu- larly if he has a fair, ruddy skin, reddish chestnut hair, hazel eyes and an expres- sive countenance. Jefferson could dance well, too, and he played the fiddle. Of the many young ladies -whose charm were observed in the candlelight of the Apollo room, young Mr. Jefferson seems to have been most attracted to Sukey Potter and Rebecca Burwell: most of all to Rebecca. Rebecca, by all reports, was a dazzling beauty. Fittingly enough, as became the object of an intellectual’s adoration, she was more distinguished for her good looks than for her cleverness. At least, th_¢ is the tradition. It seems probable that Jefferson, whose abilities had attracted the atten- tion of men older than himself—men of real achievement in Vi thought rather well of himself. It never occurred to him, as he considered plans for his marriage to Rebecca, that she might find certain flaws. As was the romantic way of his day, he had chosen a pet name for her. She was his “Belinda.” It is thus that he rel!e{rs to her in his c‘orm&ondnrexfi%ed. e proposed marriage ks " “But,” sald he, “we will not be able to marry for two, perhaps three years. Por that reason I cannot now definitely commit myself to an engagement. I must first have a period of foreign travel. I wish to see England, Holland, France, Spain, Italy and Egypt. When I return, we can openly annouce our plans. For of course, my dear, I will be ever constant to you.” Miss Burwell may not have been overburdened with bralns, but she pos- sessed a full share of spirit.

He heard that Re- becca Burwell, with unseemly haste, had married another gentleman of her ac- quaintance. Jefferson vowed he'd never “offer his service” to another woman. But, of course, time has assuaging qualities. Eight years later he married Mrs. Mar- tha Skelton, widow of Bathurst Skelton. (Copyright, 1930.)

CRAIG. June 6, 1865.—Suppression of & part of the testimony recently in the “con- spiracy trials,” in which those accused of plotting to assassinate the late Presi- dent Lincoln and other Government officials are being tried for their lives, correspondents in Washington and their editors. “The unseemly haste of some of the members of the newspaper press to assail the President and Secretary of War,” says a reporter of The Evening Star, “whenever the reasons for their official acts are not elaborately ex- plained has never been more noticeable than on the occasion of the recent sup- pression of important testimony in the trial of the conspirators. “This crusade was participated in with relentless pertinacity by journalists whose flerceness was only exceeded by the unaccountable obtuseness of their perceptions and who, blinded by their own prejudices, not only calumniated the Secretary of War and judge advocate general, but insulted the Executive and ignored the intergrity of the court. “Nothing that a factious spirit could suggest was omitted in denunciation of President Johnson and his associates. Forgetful of the national importance and solemnity of the occasion, these journals in effect declared the President a trickster and his proclamation for the apprehension of the Canadian con- spirators the offspring of personal malignity.” The Star points out that since the suppressed testimony has been pub- lished the reason for its suppression at the time has become quite apparent. President Johnson was criticized for issuing the proclamation regarding the conspirators believed to be in Canada. It now appears from the suppressed testimony, according to the New York Herald, that “all these men were this plan to murder Mr. Lincoln.” Among the men for whose capture President Johnson offered rewards were Clement Clay, Jacob Thompson, Beverly Tucker, George N.

Do you mean to tell me, Peter Rabbit, that you have never met Starnose?” Now, it was very hard for Peter to admit ‘that there was any one around th> Smiling Pool whom he didn't know But Peter tries to be honest. He trics to be honest with other folks as well as with himself. —1I didn’t know that Miner had a cousin living around here” he con- essed. Redwing looked very much surprised “Well, well, well!” he exclaimed. “Why, I've known Starnose ever since I began coming to the Smiling Pool. In fact, I know Starnose better than I do Miner, for I see him oftener. He doesn't keep himself hidden quite so much.” Meanwhile Peter was staring very hard at the little swimmer, and wishing with all his might that he would come over there. But Starnose presently dis- appeared behind & tussock of grass and | for some time did not sappear. Peter had about given up hope of seeing Star- nose again when once more the little swimmer appeared, and this time br headed straight for where Peter way sitting. “There he comes,” sald Redwing “When he gets ovar here ¥ will intro- duce you.
