to look up at the stars: to be satisfied with
your possessions, but not contented with your
self until YOU have made the best of them !;
to despse nothing in the world except false
hood and meanness, and to fear nothing except
cowardice; to be governed by your admir-
ations rather than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that IS your neighbor's except his
kindness of heart and gentleness of manners;
to think seldom of your enemies, often OF your
friends, and every day of Christ; and to spend
as much time you can, with body and with
spirit, in Gods out-of-doors-thesea are little
guide-posts on the foot-path to peace.
Also, the same authors concise sum-
mary of Life's Compass"
Four things man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow-rnen sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.
My Symphony" by W. H. Claiming,
is equally as popular:
To live content with small means; to seek
elegance rather than luxury and refinement
rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respect
able; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard,
think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to
listen to stars and BIRDS to babes and sages
with open heart; to bear all cheertully, do all
bravely await occasions, hurry never; in a
word, to let the spiritual, unbiddea and un-
conscious, grow up through the common
this is my symphony.
Phillips Brooks Duty" is another
gem often quoted:
This truth comes to me more and more the
longer we live: that what field or in what
uniform, or with what aims we do our duty,
matters very little, or even what duty is,
great or small splendid obscure. Only to
find our duty certainly, and somewhere and
somehow to do it faithfully, makes good,
strong, happy and useful men, and turns
our lives into some feeble echo of the life of
God
Extracts from Charles Wagner's Sim
pie Life" also find oppOrtune quotation:
man is simple when his chief care is the
wish to be what he ought to be; that is,
honestly and naturally human. We may
compare existence to material. What
it is matters less than what is made of it; as
the value of work of art lies in the Towering
of a workman's skill. True life is possible
in social conditions the most diverse, and with
natural gifts the most unequal. 1t is not
fortune personal advantage, but turn
ing them to account, that constitutes the value
of life. Fame adds more than does length
of days; quality is the thing.
Opportunity" is another valuable
quotation, making a strong appeal for
watchfulness of occasions:
l shall pass through this world but once.
Any good therefore that l can do, or any
kindness that | can show to any human being, |
let me do it now Let not defer or neglect |
it, for l shall not pass this way again.
BE Strong" by Maltbie Davenport
Babcock, is a vigorous call for courage |
and strength:
Be strong!
We not here to play, to dream to drift.
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle; face it. 'Tis Gods gift |
Be Strongi
Say not the days are evil-Who's to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce-O shamel |
Stand ND. speak out, and bravelv. in Gods |

vines OF our own planting, a few books full
of the inspiration of a genius; few friends
worthy of being loved and able to love us in
turn, hundred innocent pleasures that bring
no pain or sorrow; devotion to the right that
will never swerve; a simple religion empty Of
all bigotry, full of trust and hope and love
and to such philosophy this world will give
up all the empty joy it has.
Sentiments voiced by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox also find place on the house
motto, in the words:
So many gods, so many creeds.
So many paths that wind and wind;
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs
But far more popular selection
| (authOr unknown) is:
There's so much bad in the best of Us.
| And much good in the worst of US.
| That it hardly behooves any OF US
To talk about the rest of us
| The authorship of this rirne has never
been discovered. All that is definitely
known IS that an elderly actor repeated
them in the presence of a young clerk,
who, in turn, recited them to the head of
his department. The latter, part of
whose duties consisted in the invention
of designs for framed mOttos, with an
eye to new suggestions, seized upon the
prize and incorporated it into a pro-
fusely illustrated decoration. The Wis
dom of his judgment soon justified itself
in the sale of twenty-five thousand copies
of this quotation, while hosts of workers
in the same business seized upon the lines,
which were without copyright protec-
ton, with the result that There's so
much bad in the best of us was scattered
broadcast.
When Max Ehrman, the Indiana au-
thor, was thought to be on his death
bed, he wrote a prayer with which he
was later much dissatisfied. On his
recovery to health, he discarded the
manuscript, but friend rescued it from
the waste-basket, just as Mrs. Kiplirg
is said to have saved the Recessional" "
She made a hand illuminated copy of
the prayer, using old English type, and
presenting this to the author, impressed
its merit upon him. This copy afterward
found its way to the publisher, who at
once appreciated the value of the lines
and offered to publish them. The
prayer became the best-selling quotation
in the publishers collection and has
since maintained that position. A hand
sOmely illuminated and framed copy of
this prayer was sent to the St. Louis
Exposition, where it was hung among
other valuable examples of the publishers
art. One day it was missing from the
walls. 1t had been stolen Other arti-
cles were left untouched. 1t seemed a
sacrilege that plunder should be prac-
tised upon prayer, and a still greater
that person who could
admire such a sentiment should also be
capable of theft.

North river dock. packs of the animals
dashed up and down Central Park
West, Broadway, West End avenue and
Riverside drive and rushed back and
forth through the cross streets, the
clatter of their hoofs alarming them
and bringing crowds to windows as
they passed. Part of the herd was
at lIt anu

section rushed out to the end of Forty

three of the animals were thrown int
