 A great many people just set'' with out thinking. Mental laziness is fatal to all growth. Many people never think down deeply into any subject They just browse around on the surface. They never have trained themselves to concen- trate vigorously. to hold the mind ten aclously upon one subject; their. think ing Is of the hop-skip-and-jump order. This desultory surface mulling sort of brain action Is not real thinking. To really think, we must focus the mind upon one subject and hold. 1t there
 One reason why the majority of people lead such superficial lives Is because their minds are not trained to think deep and broadly. They do not go far enough into subjects to get eomprehen- siye view of them. Their thinking Is so superficial that their whole lives 7 arp shallow.

Blrty Iilliard, who many years ago
lived in small town in northern Yer
mont, was noted for his careless vaga-
bond habits, ready wit and remarkable
facility for extempore rhyming. While
he was sitting one day in the village
store of what is now part of Mont
pelier among group of idlers the gen
ial merchan. asked him why he wore
such shocllingly bad hat. Barty re
piled that he could not afford better
one.
"Come now" said the merchant
"make me rhyme on bad hat, and
will give you the best l have in my
store" instantly Barty threw the old
one on the floor and began:
Here lies my old hat,
And pray what Of that?
It's as good as the rest of my raimentl
If | buy me better
You'll make me your debtor
And send me to Jail for the payment.
The new hat was voted to be fairly
won. and Barty bore it off in triumph,
saying, Its poor head that can't
take care of itself" Boston Herald.
