SO MUCH-SO LITTLEI

C"So much to do, so little done"-Ceci
Rhodesl.
Is there no debt that thou dost owe
To tighten others care or woe?
Is there no comfort thou canst give
To help another creature live?
Hast thou no Peace thou canst bestow
And let sadder being know?
Oh Fellow Pilgrim, stop awhile
To give helpful, loving smile.
Thy life is not thine own TO live,
AS thou hast gained so must thou give!
But, give not only of thy wealth,
Give, too, little-of myself.
Oh, do not answer thus to me:
1--WE greater cares that first must be-"
Thou canst not live this way for Friend
What will confront thee at the end
Since there is little comfort stored
For those who live to merely-hoard.
oh, Soul so stultified. and mean,
What bit of love canst thou then CLEAN?
With net one voice to intercede
And help thee, in thy pressing need?
Look then to it. Aye, count the cost
OF precious, helpful moments-lost.
SO much to do, So little-done
1t is not strange the Worlds unwon.
So little done by you, and me,
So little love with Charity.

A man cannot rise from chair with

the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Many a man viii back himself to give
another a startOf so yards in race of
| 100, provided the man having the start
hops all the way. But no runner, how
ever swift, can give that amount Of
start TO an ordinary man. For the
first FIVE yards they go at practically
the same pace. Therefore the runner,
to go 95 yards while the hopper" goes
IS, would have to run more than twice
as fast, and IT would be a weak man
who could not hop IS yards at a pace
equal TO 20 seconds for 100 yards; and
that would mean that the runner, in
order to win, would have to beat al
previous records.

When John Adams was vice presi-
dent Of the United States (more than
100 years agO) he paid so for a little
gih-framed mirror and there has been
trouble about Il ever since, says the
New York Sun. Several senator's in
the course Of the debate over the pay
ment for its purchase took occasion to
censure Mr.. Adams for having set an
example OF unwarranted eEtrsVa-
gance- The mirror was purchased in
New York, brought TO Washington and

the vice president, and for q great
many years waE pointed out 70 rural
visitors, who we're entertained with
more or less accurate tales Of fits his

SAYS eAMBLIEc MUST sTOP.
Having Disposed Of the joints, Mayor
EIlenberEer Now Issues an Ultima
tuna u the Gamblers

Mayor Elleuberger Is pushing his
crusade to rid GoOdland Of all forms Of
vice, and would make it q model city.
Having put the joints out Of business by
the use OF search and seizure warrants,
be is now out with an ultimstum that
gambling must stop. Gambling is a
misdemeanor in Kansas, and Mayor FL
lenberger says that any person engaging
in gambling or permitting games of
chance to be conducted upon premises
owned or occupied by them within the
corporate limits OF the city will be prose
euted under the Law. When asked by a
reporter az to whether this included
slot machines he replied:
"All gambling devices"
Upon being further questioned he re-
fused to commit himself 10 an opinion as
to whether slot machines were gambling
or not. but It was inferred from his man
ner that be considered thsm as such.
It is thought that several prominent
business men encouraged the mayor in
striking the blow at gambling. A lead
ing merchant has been heard 10 state on
more than one occasion: Money that
would otherwise be paid to legitimate
business houses on account Is often lost
at the gambling table. Most of such
accounts are eventually paid, but col
lections are slower and business i'm
paired. / am in favor Of putting a stop
to gambling"
