the intellectual. and you have @ diseased
monstrOsity. Hence you see the three
must be wisely trained together TO have
the complete man. 1t is astonishing how
much may be accomplished in self-traiD-
ing by the energetic and preserving who
are careful to use the fragments of spare
time which the idle permit to run to
waste We should ever remember that
excellence is seldom, il ever, granted
to man save as the reward OF
severe labor. Whatever one un-
dertakes to learn be should not
permit himself to leave il until he can
reach round and clasp hands on the other
side. One must believe in himself il lie
would have others believe In him. To
have a poor opinion OF ones self lie to link
in his own estimation. We should strive
to cultivate seli-heIp At all times, for in
proportion to our self-respect We will be
armed against the temptations OF low self
indulgence. Again reverence yourself"
as PythagoTas has said.
Borne up BY this high idea man will
not defle his body by sensuality nor his
mind by suTvile thoughts Friendly
ttader, this thought. carried into daily
life. will be found at the root OF all vIr-
tues, cleanliness, sobrlety, charity, NOR
atty and religion. Therefore, let US set
high price on our leisure moments, for
they are sands OF precious gold. And if
they are properly expended they will pro-
cure for us a stock OF great thoughts
thoughts that will I'LL. stir and invigoTate
and expand our very soul. Richter said ::
Il have made as much out OF myself as
could be made OF the stuff, and no man
should require more" We are told
that self dlscip inc and self-control are
the beginnings OF practical wisdom and
thess must have root in seli-respect. and
heartily indoTse IL. Hence the humblest
man may cay: ITO respect myself. TO de-
velop myself, this is my first duty in life. Z"
To those who opposed the club directory,
/ wish to say this: The reading people of
the day demand personalities. IT'S true
the time has been when the author cou. d
hide in some remote corner Of the
world under a iavorite pseudonym.
But. alas this time is hasti y
passing away. The public, whom
he serves, will slowly butsureY penetrate
his retreat, and at last learn his real ident-
ity. 'Tis also true. this fact has proved
somewhat distasteful to sensitive souls
who have. by their orts. won recOgni-
ton in the Literally world. Yet they must.
however, accept it as a penalty of their
position. and to prove il, il Is only neces-
sary for me TO say-some bitter must lie
taken with the sweet. Life does not come
as We would have il to. my friends. II
il did this life We are now living would be
a routine Of endless bliss
May Mascot" it is to be hoped that
you have not forgotten my very existence.
therefore I'll take it for granted that you
have only become indifferent to an old
friend. Peach Blossom" has appeared
since the cold wave visited us. and | will
suggest that Rose" and "Heliotrops"
make their appearance. Tor have them
on the program. and will vouch for their
safety. and the "Sunfower." too.
