1t is wicked to grieve. 1t is a sin
against the mind, sin against the
body and a sin against the minds and
bodies with all whom the mourner
comes in contact. To grieve about
what cannot be helped is foolish
and to grieve about what can be
helped means that we are indolent,
too indolent to get up and stamp out
the forces that make US miserable

Why Mails Went Wrono In 1907.

According to the statement of an
honorable member of the house of

Same Idea Vigorously Expressed.

1t is curious to trace how similar
ideas have taken root in different Ian
guages and the various modes of il
Illustrating the same thought. To take
for instance, one or two familiar
proverbs in our language. We say
"A bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush," The same idea is expressed
by Italians when they say. Better
an egg today than a pullet tomor-
row." and the French proverb is still
more significant "One here-it-is is
no better than two you-shall-have-its.' .
