Scatter Kind Words Now.

Don't be ashamed or afraid to say
kind things. There are some people
who look as though they had been
caught stealing sheep after they give
way to an impulse to be pleasant.
Kindness is not a weakness. There Is
no danger Of an over production along
this line. There is market for all
the bright looks and wholesome pleas
antries that can be turned out. Peo.
pie go to bed hungry, very hungry
every night for gentle touch or a
helpful word. Men are laid TO rest In
the cemeteries every day who would
a thousand times rather have had a
few thoughtful tokens OF good will
while they we're living than all The
flowers that have been heaped upor
their caskets. Hand out Kindness and
see the Joy it will bring you as well a,
those at the other end OF the trans
action. Pleasant words are as a honel
comb, sweet to the soul and health I,
the bones. Get away from the ide;
that pleasant words should be throw
out like dog. Garry a full basket ant
be generous. 1t will beat the widow
crust and -four barrel at spontaneou
reproduction.

That the people really were not on

Bacon's Wise Words.

Bacon: Those are most subject to
envy which carry the greatness Of
their fortunes in an insole1t and
proud manner; being never well but
while they are showing how great
they are, either by outward pomp, or
by triumphing over all opposition or
competition; whereas wise men will
rather do sacrifice to envy, in suffer
ing themselves sometimes of purpose
to be crossed and overborne in things
that do not much concern them. Not
withstanding, so much is true that
the carriage of greatness in a plain
and open manner $50 it be without
arrogance and vain glory doth draw
less envy than if it be in a more
crafty and cunning fashion. For in
that course man doth disavow for
tune; and seemeth to be conscious of
his own want in worth. and doth but
teach Others to envy him.
