Dr. Elisha II. Gregory, just
rounding out his fifty years of sur
gerry in st. Louis Medical College,
says that an inclination to stick to
business and pay ones own way is
the best possible introduction any
where. Further he says:
"In my long life | have learn ed
a few things that | have always
tried to impress upon my students.
! have tried to make them stalwart
men, unafraid. | have told them
that success depends upon labor
and constancy; that the true meas.
ure of u mans greatness is the
earnestness of his endeavor.
And l have found another
thing which some men may be
slow to accept. That is, that IL
man may be overburdened with
learning and attaiuments. | have
seen it many times. a man can
not know too much so long as he
is able to use everything he knows.
When he knows more than he can
use he is hampered.
For, after all, success depends
much less upon what we learn than
upon that quality which we find in
Il dog and call sagacity, or fiud in
II horse and call horse sense.
This plain common sense is,
after all, the ability to see things
as they are Aud that ability is
the secret of both success an d hap
piness.
1.-THE man who sees things that
make him unhappy has II disorder
of mental vision. The healthy
mind looks for the best in every
thing and finds what it seeks. |
have seen persons who, | thought,
would rather the unpleasant things
should befall them, so that they
could have a good excuse for sad
ness. That's morbid. They need
a little of the tonic of common
sense. Then all the world would
smile ut them"

Don't Expectorate.

The Springfield Register is rath'
er severe in the following:
The man who socially expects tO
rate above the level of the hog
ought not to expectorate on the
sidewalks. The man who spits
land that word is much more
forcible than expectorates) on the
sidewalks ought to have his nose
rubbed in the secretions which he
elects from his throat and lungs
and mouth and he ought to be
subjected to this treatment right
on the streets where he perpetrates
the beastly act of indecency. To-
bacco eaters who spatter the side.
walks with their slime ought to be
placed in a pen outside the city
limits, where they can spit them
selves to death. The city should
take action against this growing
evil. If there is no ordinance to
absorb this superfiuous saliva now,
one should be passed and the law
enforced. Only a few days ago a
very aged lady slipped in a puddle
Of tobacco spit on the south side
of the square. She fell and was
painfully injured and besides her
garments were soiled by the filthy
spit. Is the city not encouraging
indecency by permitting such
loathsome practices as this splitting
on the sidewalksi If men must
spit they must be taught to spit
on that portion of the public high
way allotted to horses and other
such animals, and not on the side
walks where gentlemen and ladies
must pass. Does the city believe
that it is right that when ladies
are passing down the streets of
Springfield they must wade thru
spiti If an example is made Of
two or three of these spitters the
nuisance will soon be abated. The
reckless expectoration must be
stopped.
