SHOULD LET OURSELVES GO
The Sincere Man Acts Promptly and
Couraseousiy and So Lives
His Own Life.

II very often happens that we have
thought, but are afraid to express 1t.
lest IT seem absurd to others. A song
begins to sing itself in our heart, but
we hush IL lest our friends say. What
trifiing thing, to be sure" We have
in our soul the prompting of a gener-
Gus act, but we hesitate and forego It,
for fear we may appear sentimental
when. II We had been true to our.
selves and uttered the thought, sung
The song, done the generous thing,
We. too might have won the applause
OF men no less than that higher re-
ward. the approval of our own nature.
The sincere man trusts himself.
What he thinks he is confident is at
least worthy of expression. and what
he fs prompted to do he 10 certain
must be right He acts promptly and
frankly and courageously, and SO lives
his own life and permits his soul its
own eflorescence and fruiting. He
lets himself go"
After all, We are and can be only
ourselves. II we are to advance or to
be anything We must let ourselves
go" We cannot by taking thought
add cubit to our intellectual stature
What we are, we are, and We can only
make the most OF ourselves BY letting
go" and going as far as possible

"Grey" and "Gray."

What is the difference, II any. be-
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter of spelling?
The editor OF the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage. and found that opinions
in London varied. Replies to his ques-
tions showed that in Great Britain
the form grey is the more frequent
In use. despite the authority Of Dr..
johnson and later photographers, who
give the preference to gray Many
correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference OF
meaning. or application. the distinc-
tion most generally recognized being
that grey donates a more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others con-
sidered the difference to be that gray
Is a warmer color. or that it has .
mixture Of red or brown. Another
group held that grey has more Of
sentiment. gray more OF color, which
may mean that grey is suggestion
rather than positive outline.

THE STRAIN WAS ALL MENTAL
Instance Of Persons Who viii Work
Only When They Are Being
Constantly kept After"

Some persons will not work without
being kept after" In the most literal
sense Of the word. A writer in the
Popular Magazine tells . story OF Rear
Admiral E. H. c. Leutze. whose Gus
tom 1t was to make a daily inspection
OF the navy-yard at New York. Ono
morning he arrived at seven o'clock.
which was late for him. Later in the
same day he saw two laborers sitting
on q fence. taking life easy. He halt
ed In front Of them with the remark.
Pleasant weather today"
Tho two loafers saluted respectfully
very respectfully.
Working today" he inquired
They said they were. He walked .
little beyond them. and stood perfect
!y still with his back toward them.
After several embarrassing minutes,
the two laborers shuffled OF the fence.
and picking up a heavy rusty iron
beam which happened to be lying on
the ground near them. went down one
OF the streets between the shops. and
turned the corner
few minutes later the admiral ap-
peared round the corner. and stood
still. The laborers picked up the
beam and proceeded on their aimless
way, again turning the nearest corner.
But they could not escape. for Leutze
was on their trail. He kept up the
performance of following them round
the corners until he had seen them
carry that heavy beam all over the
yard. which covers many city blocks.
Fina4ly he asked them:
Where are you taking that beam?"
Nowheres particular" confessed
one Of the loafers
Take 1t back where you found It."
the admiral commanded. land then
quit working here. The strains too
