TWO ENDS OF A TELESCOPE

Dearly beloved, you have no need to
look at all people in this way, only
some people, writes Robert J. Burdette,
in his own inimitable style, in the
October Ladies' Home Journal. When
the size and weight of the superior
person presses heavily upon you, when
you are bowed down under the awful
grandeur of the epaulettes and aigrettes
and decorations, when you bow your
self to the ground and bare your head
in the presence of the ENVOY Extraor-
binary, Minister PIenipotentiary, Am
bassadOr Superfumerary and Para
mount" just wait a minute; I'll run
around the corner and bring you a
man in a hickory shirt and one sus-
pender, with a wood saw in one hand
and a piece of ham rind in the other,
who will say to all this grandeur,
Hello, BillT He went to school with
him, and saw him through the little
end of the spy-glass.
Look at your troubles the same way.
1 have a foolish tendency to magnify
my troubles; you may not be so af-
flcted. But I have looked at a noun
tain of trouble until it made Ossa like
a wart, and when it was ready to
topple over on and crush me. I have
reversed the spy-glass just in time, and
looked down at q mole hill which |
fattened out with my foot until Icould
not see, on the smooth lawn, the place
where erstwhile a mountain, rock rib
bed and ancient as the earth, has raised
its rugged head to the clouds and mar
red the landscape with lis scanned and
storm rent sides. Look at 'em through
the little end, oh, timid mortal, ''Care-
full and troubled about many things"
They will appear like toy troubles.
And they will seem so far away, like
the landscape in a magic mirror. If
you want to look at something through
the big end, magnify the reward of
your patience, your courage, your faith,
your trust look at your hope. But the
trial, the care, the fear, the struggle,
the afhiction-the mountains that owe
whelm you with their steepness, the
numberless apxieties that swarm about
your life-look at all these things
through the little end.
But" say Faint Heart and Much
Afraid, won't other people be apt to
look at us through the little end of the
spy glass also7"
Indeed they will, my brother; yes,
indeed, daughter; they not only will,
but now and then they do. You will
want to remember that. That is good
for US. That keeps us humble. That
makes us walk softly. Yes, indeed,
you want to bear that in mind. There
is no patent on this spyglass. Any
body may manufacture and use it who
will.
