Hurry up!'
No lingering by old doors Of doubt,
No lettering by the way;
No waiting a tomorrow car
Here comes along today;
Success is somewhere down the track
Before the chance is gone
Accelerate your laggard pace;
Swing on. I say, swing on.
Hurry up!
"Step lively!"
Belated souls are following fast:
They shout and signal, Wait"
Conductor Time brooks no delay,
He rings the bell of Fate;
But You can give the man behind
With one Land on the bar,
A final chance to trick defeat
And board the moving car.
Step lively!
Move up!'
Make way for others as you sit
Or stand. This crowded earth
Has room for every journeying sou.
En- route to higher birth:
Aye, room and comfort if no one
Took double share of space.
Nor let his greed and selfshness
Absorb another's place.
Move up!
Hold fast!'

Stand firm of foot. be strong Of grip
Brace we'll and have no fear.

So you might grasp them there.

Keep Out Of the Past,

Whatever you do in this wonderful world,
In business, i'll church Or at play,
Whatever Of gain or of loss you have met
With the others who go your way,
Keep out Of the past
From the first to the last,
And away from it's worries stay;
The present has wealth you would never suspect,
If prudent you are and wisely elect
To live in the light of today.
The things that are past did very we'll once;
Today they are rusty and stale.
That trouble you had with your fellow man
Did you struggle in vain and fail?
What Of it, indeed?
There is all the more need
That you start on a different trail.
Don't take to the woods, whatever you do;
Just look right ahead, there's a fortune for you
In keeping a well-trimmed sail.
So cramped can we be in our mental states,
So burdened with might-have-beens,
That life will become a woeful waste
For its many outs and ms.
But stop and reflect,
You will never be wrecked
By Your own or another's sins,
If the past you will keep in its proper place
And meet what is yours with a candid face
lis the man of today who wins.

MILK AND MUSIC.

MARY farming approaches nearest to perfection in Swift
- erland, and there the milkmaid with the sweetest voice
commands the highest salary.
The relationship between good singing and good dairy
work was proved several years ago at a farmers congress at
lnterlaken.
At lnterlaken, in a milking contest three days long, the
same cows, MIXED in silence, yielded 200 quarts of milk;
MIXED by maids with fair voices, they yielded 220 quarts Of
milk; MIXED by maids with beautiful voices, they yielded
240 quarts.
This proof of a fact that had long been suspected set a
premium on the milkmaids who could sing well. They who
could not sing well took up at once the study of yocaliza-
ton, and hence it is that Switzerland has SO MANY singing
schools.
Milking time in the little mountain republic is easily re-
marked by the tourist, on account Of the enormous volume
Of song that then scars up.
Silent milking, in the eyes Of the frugal Swiss farmer,
is almost a crime, and the dairymaid who milks in silence
is certain to be discharged.
Swiss maids who apply for places in diaries are examined
as strictly in singing as in milking and butter-making

auspices, is we'll known. The ironmaster has often declared
that institutions for higher education are not so necessary to
the masses as are free libraries.
One winter night, a few years ago, shortly after Professor
Holden assumed the presidency of Wooster, the main build
ing OF the university was destroyed by fire. The insurance
was small and there were no funds available with which to
rebuild: The morning after the fire, while the ruins were
still smoking, President Holden, grip in hand, was observed
making his way to the railway station. A friend hailed him
and asked:
"Leaving town already, professor?''
"Yes," was the CHEEKY reply. "I'm going to bring back
the money in this grip for a new building" ..
Professor Holden took the train for New York, and the
next day he called on. Nh. Carnegie. Without useless pre-
lminaries, the smooth-faced, boyish-looking fellow said:

won't take up more than five minutes of your time. The

Holden.

door: AS he reached it, Mr.. Carnegie called after him:

AL right, sir 8 and Professor Holden was already half
way down the stairs. His call had consumed just four
minutes.
The sum was raised within the stipulated time, and, when
handing over his check, Mr.. Carnegie said, laughing:

A New LanEuage A.ethod.

If a person has, as the Celts say,
''only one side to his tongue" and
wishes to add to his resources in the
matter Of language it might be well
for him to apply to an old man in
Scotland, whose methods Of instruction
are simple. They are described in
Scenes In Scotland" by Mr.. Sinclair.
A lady visiting in the north of Scot
land wished to get some idea Of the
Gaelic and employed an old native to
give her a course Of language lessons.
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
text book, and, opening it at the be-
ginning of Genesis, he said:
'Now, ma'am, I'll read this to you
in the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself
how it will 60"
With solemn intonation and an ap-
pealing, triumphant glance toward the
lady at the end OF every clause, he
loudly read the first four verses and
paused to watch the effect Then he
said in a tone Of deep conviction:
"Now, ma'am, If you'll take your
own Bible and turn to that chapter and
read it in English you'll see it's Just
the selfsame thing"
The old man was much surprised that
the lady did not continue her lessons.
