They brought to me sweet flowers.
The loVelieSt ones that bloom
The pansies' velvet faces
To chase away the gloom;
The dainty, sweet carna tons,
The satin-petaled rose
These were the reinforcements
Which drove away the foes.

The foes that made life hateful

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It is the thing you leave undone,
That gives you bit of headache
AT the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit of heartsone counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone
Which you had no time or thought for
With trouble enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find,
1t isn't the thing you do, dear.
It is the thing you leave undone
Which gives you a bit Of headache
At the setting of the sun.

body else.
A passing word of encoura cement has
SO often helped others to their feet;
nothing is SO uplifting to another as to
make him see how great are his own pos
sibilities.
He who wants to do a great deal of
good at once will never do any. 1t is the

It is little acts of kindness and thought

life.
To be polite is to be hopeful polite

Some historians believe that France prac-
tically ruled the world for a century or
so because national politeness proved q
better policy than honesty, despite the
well known maxim to the contrary. Be
that as it may, the polite person is a
distinct help to humanity. Politeness
Grows upon one in the practice. Just
here we desire to say that there is room
