Why he sent the boy
into the room for his
package on the table.

It takes time to cool down or to
brace up.
An orator requires time to get the
blood in his head slowed down to the
natural flow after he finishes his
speech.
A person making a mistake requires
time to get brave enough to explain.
A man had been talking to some
people in a room and his subject was
carefulness.
After saying goodbye and going to
another room he found that he had
left something on the table where the
people were and who remained in
their seats for another speaker.
He sent an office boy in for the
package to relieve himself and disturb
the group as little as possible.
Some Of the people noticed his er-
ror when the boy came for the pack
age. If he had known how to return
and what to say he might have made
happy hit, but he was too slow.
The next day when he met the same
group of people he brought up his
error and used 1t as an example. His
confession was his only way out, as
his suggestions on carefulness would
have been lifeless without an explain
alton of his carelessness.
The Grit-advocate., 1904-04-22
Resourcefulness en-
ableS men and nations
to turn defeat into VIC
tory.

Here Is something told me this week
that represents watershed between
growing and whiting.
A manufacturer called on a retailer
and learned that his goods could be
used If certain changes were made.
The manufacturer went away to
return to say that he could not sue
coed in making such changes.
Another manufacturer came along
with the same article and he was told
the same thing.
This man went away, worked, stud
led, accomplished it, and came back
to be given orders, and these orders
meant other orders.
1t is about as easy to capture USE
iul originality as 1t is for blind man
to lasso a wild horse.
Resourcefulness as subject is
something we should know more
about. Some of us know more than
others about It, but none of us know
much and all should know more than
the best of thinkers know to-day.
il we Coulu unite our UllS Oh "lSuOu
on spontaneous thought we might
produce product that would push all
OF us to better thinking.
Some think of their best ideas just
as they awake in the morning. One
man conquered a perplexity by lying
down, after his evening meal. on a
couch in a dark corner and concen-
trating his mind.
! Mental power to invent or solve Is
inherited and acquired. Some are in
clined that way to such an extent that
they do too much of it. A son told
me his father invented many things.
but never sold them because he was
too busy inventing more things. Other
people are born to follow and initiate.

instead of the warm, heavy garments

method Of heating houses by steam or
hot water radiators has much to do
with the change. no doubt. We no

hearth for warmth while the rooms

the house that summer garments are

Semi understanding
is a starter of blunders
and breaks.

Make list-make a lst-make a
list of past errors and plan to be more
accurate.
That sounds right to me, but does
it contradict St. Paul's advice to for
get those things which are behind and
reach forth into those things which
are before?
Look that up and see II it is quoted
right. Never misquote the Bible is
an axiom. 1t is eight-thirty a. m, and
| am ten miles from home writing this
where people are supposed to have,
whatever Bible they possess, in their
hearts and heads and be all business.
Do not worry over the past is what
| take as Paul's meaning. Seek and
ye shall find is one OF Christ's orders
and we can find in the past the
sources OF improvements for the fu-
ture. Use the past to better use the
future.
A little seeking in the past enables
us to understand that semi-understand-
ings are beginners of blunders. Thor
ough understandings are due to an ap-
probation of the importance of know
ing what you are about and a knowl-
edge of easy slips between what peo-
ple think and say and what we hear
and think, also attention and mem
ory.

Does sentiment con-
troll more people than
ore ruled by sense?

How would you vote on this and
what can you say to sustain your
vote?
For twenty-eight weeks have been
looking for a certain kind of letters
to come to me and yesterday the frsti
one of the kind wanted came from
Idaho to Illinois.
After believing for so long that it
would come there is more sentiment
than sense in the satisfaction with
which II was received.
We do things because others do
them from a sentiment rather than
by sense.
Some people tell me that sentiment
is everything-it is what the world
runs on and without it nothing much
could be done.
Then there must be wise and fooA-
sh sentiment because | have worn
some neckties, because the same kind
were worn by others, which sense
would not have permitted me 20 wear

The Sachet Rau.

Sachets play an important part in
the modern woman's wardrobe. That
delicate. evanescent perfume that
clings to dainty garments can be
given by sachets alone, for nquid per-
fumes are invariably the reverse of
subtle or delicate.
Nearly all straight-front corsets are
worn with a sachet tucked into the
top. Sometimes 1t is long, straight
cushion, very soft and thin, and deli
cately perfumed; tied around the mid
die with a ribbon bow. Again, it may
be heart-shaped and lace-ruflled, with
a tiny bow at the top.

wearer may prefer. The pointed belt
is peculiarly becoming as it gives a
far more slender effect than can be
obtained by round one, and the wide
sleeves are eminently desirable over
the fashionable waists.
The blouse is made with fronts and

der and under-arm seams. The lower
edge is gathered at the back, plated
at the front and finished by means Of
the belt The cape collar is entirely
separate and Is arranged over the
whole, the edges being finished with
braid or in any manner that may be

On the back of the envelope, across

Under the title put subheads or de-
partments of the subject or put variAr
tions OF the question.

Do not do too much and do not skip
five minutes a week, though you do
nothing more than put a piece OF
blank paper into one Of the envelopes
and re-read something which was In

This is the value-doing something

To Remove Scorches.

This is sure way to remove a
scorched spot as long as it has not
made hole in the material: Take
the Juice from two peeled onions, one
half an ounce of white CASTLE soap,
cut in small pieces. and two ounces of
Fuller's earth, stir all together with a
cupful Of vinegar. Stand over the
fire and let boil. When this is cool
spread over the scorched spot ard
leave till it is dry. Then wash out
the linen and you will find no stains
remains.

The girl who wrote
the window sign and
managed the store.

Several days ago after getting lunch
in combined store and restaurant |
noticed that it was the place where
las: year a window sign was given me
on request because it had creamery
butter" on it.
The woman who gave me the sign
said that her little girl who printed IL
might not like her giving 1t away.
The little girl was in school and I
got the sign, but the other day tho
little girl was in the store and | got 4
view of her enterprise.
She had eyes and ears for all Gus
toners and called out to her father,
and mother as customers came In.
with her clear. business,l like voice.
Her parents did not know as well
as she did that to wait on customers
while customers were waiting to be
waited on was more important than
sorting stock.
Her manners and voice were all
right-nothing domineering about
them toward her parents. and with
customers she had very sensible
bearing.
She was selling or giving the price
on pickles when ! first noticed her.
and neither looked up to nor down on
the customer, but talked in an honor
bright way.
Had she known that l wanted her
window sign with the misspelled word
for cOmpanionship she might have
been willing to part with it.
Here is a word | wanted to use
when l first mentioned their store. but
| do not know surely how to spell 1t
and therefore have not found 1t in my
dictionary, SO trust the typesetter and
proofreader to help me out. 1t Is del
icatessen." and II not spelt correctly
Just blame them. ! trip them up .
good many times. but sometimes pick
them up.
The little girls parents keep a deli

keeps on growing they will surely
have more money in the bank. While

she has improved temper cent sew
