DUTY TO OTHERS.

We must all realize that this life
ally have had the good luck to es-
cape your share OF it, you are very
fortunate person.
But do not, ON that account, allow
yourself to grow cold-hearted and I'M
sympathetic to others.
Those poor others! Their lot Is
often so hau-so lonely-so full of
misery.
We are here to "heal the wounds
and bind the broken heart; and the
only way we can do this'is by being
kind, loving and sympathetic.
A few words of love will do more
to help sufferer than 9@oney some
times.
For heart sickness is much harder
to help than hunger and poverty
Show interest in others: try to help
them; go out of your way to Tighten
the burden of the heavily laden.
Do not hesitate to whisper your
kindly thoughts in their ears. Don't
pass by on the "other side; if you
are strong, then be merciful.
Remember that we all look at life
from different standpoint, and what
might appear like grain of mustard
seed in your path to you is an almost
insurmountable obstacle to your
weaker sister, says Woman's Life.
The more she shrtnks the more
necessity for you to step in and help
her on her way with genuine SYM
pathy and loving sisterly words and
acts.-New Haven Register.

FORMING POLITENESs LEAGUE

Several women of the younger
married set are forming a league for
the promotion of politeness among
schoolgirls. They are eager for per-
mission to try their ideas on the
public school pupils, and ultimately
they hope to extend it to the private
schools, in which there is as much
need for the work, they think It is
intended to organize girl pupils and
10 give a bronze badge to every men,
Der. The emblem will bear no in
ecripti0n save the initials of the
league, but it is hoped it will serve
40 constant reminder of the primci-
pies Of the organization. Each girl.
before getting her badge, is to sign
pledge reading, Il promise always to
be polite to everybody, particularly
strangers and persons l know" The
promoters think the little quirk in
the sentence will impress it all the
more strongly on the minds of the
wee women. Every year a bar will
be added to the badge, and when the
Wearer earns bars for five successive
years she will be entitled to a gold
medal. All the girls are to be on
honor, the addition of a bar at
years end being made ON her simple
assurance that she has lived up to
the promise.-New York Press.
