Heart To Heart Talks


he would get shovelful lurch of the
ship sent the coal scattering.
T. R. discovered there were some things
he could not do.
And SO my teXt-every man to his Job,
and every mans work is necessary.
Who are you, Mr.. Fastidious, that you
should ever look down on the man who
shovels coal into a furnace or heaves
clay out of ditch? His work is as i'm
portant as your work-perhaps more i'm
portant.
Or If you do not work at all, If you are
mere parasite, living wholly. off the
work of others. you ought to take off
your hat to every laboring man you
meet on the streets.
Why? In the sight of Cod and man he
is your superior.
There Is danger lest we forget the dig
nifty of labor and of the laborer, and
Roosevelt does well to show his fellow
ship with every man who works, be-
cause
Rightly viewed, the scars on the hard
ened hands of the workingman are as
honorable as are the scars of the SOL
der won in battle.
The overalls of the honest laborer,
rightly seen, are more honorable than
the uniform of braided clothes worn by
the strutting butchers of men.
And when this or any other country
shall forget and neglect its humble people
who do the drudgery, when there shall
be shut against the day laborer the door
of opportunity to him or his child, when
this nation loses touch with the fellow
ship in the laobrs of the man who works
with his hands-why, in that day that
nation is on the toboggan slide that
leads down to the hades where decadent
nations desire to go.
And Mr.. Laborer-
Do not let any man cheat you out of
your self respect.
If you are. honest and worthy any son
of woman who regards you with disre-
spect or scorn is less than a man.
He is far beneath you.

Two Apple Seed Stories

Two Apple SEED StOrfcS
Doubtless you have heard of the
Wealthy apple. But did you ever hear
of Peter Gideons coat?
The story goes together thus:
The Wealthy apple tree was bred by
Peter Gideon in an early day on the
shores of beautiful Lake Minnetonka, in
Minnesota.
Gideon was struggling to hold down a
claim in what was. then a wilderness
with a family depending on him.
He was literally without a coat to his
back"
Five dollars was borrowed from a
neighbor, ans Gideon's wife urged him
to buy a coat with the money.
But no.
The pioneer orchardist got along with
out purchasing coat. He manufactured
one from an old vest by using trousers
legs for sleeves.
And the IS? Against the entreaties of
his wife he sent the money back east
and bought apple seeds!
The neighbors thought Gideon was pc
culiar If not mentally added. But he
planted the seeds he had tonight with
his coat money and after years of ex-
pertinent evolved the hardy variety
whose peculiar heredity enables it to
thrive farther north than any other
really good apple tree.
1t is not Of record that Peter Gideon
grew wealthy, but the Wealthy apple
say good authorities, has brought mil
lions of dollars to the northwest
Which reminds me of another apple
seed story.
Years ago, before the middle west was
settled, an eccentric character known as
apple Seed Johnny" whom the hunters
and trappers thought to be mildly in
sane, wandered over the country, and
wherever he went he planted apple Seeds
His habit was esteemed to be a harm
| less sort of diversion.
| But in after years, when apple Seed
Johnny was dead, the fuller evidence of
his philanthropy appeared.
The apple trees grew and bore fruit,
and the settlers in the new region ate
with satisfaction and appreciation from
the trees 1.-The tramp had planted.
apple Seed Johnny sleeps in some
unknown grave.
And Peter Gideon's name was not at
tached to his hardy apple, as was Bur-
banks to his valuable potato, but
The two humble servitors of humanity
did more for the sons of men than many
one whose name is Haunted by his
tory.

Honor Thy Father

Young man
That you love your mother there can
be no doubt. Every son loves his moth
er, and most of them show their love
by ways that mother understands.
But your father, boy.
You love your dad, of course, but in
different way. Possibly you honor him.
But how seldom you show him filial re-
spect!
Down under your crust you thorough
ly respect the man whose name you
bear, do you not?
But never until you have a boy of
your own will you understand how sore
ly you can hurt your sire when you
fount his good advice or show by your
manner that you think your old man"
is somewhat OF back number.
So certainly as you live there will come
day when the memory of an unfilial
act or speech toward your father will
cause you keen regret 1t may be when
father sleeps in his grave.
You will remember that you showed
your love for your mother by acts and
words of affection. but denied that to
your father. whom you also loved.
Remember. son, that fathers ways are
different from mothers. Father has had
to fight the world for living, and the
world has taught him to conceal his feel
ings. Have you not yourself begun to
feel how the world hardens a man on
the outside?
Your father loves you, boy, little if any
less than your mother. only he cannot
show 1t. 1t is deep down--under his vest.
And proud of you? Nobody on this
earth can be prouder of you when you
do something worth while than father.
Any one can see that You can see it
yourself.
Another thingi
Do not get the idea in your head that
father has not kept up with the process
sion of the worlds progress. 1t may be
SO in some cases, but the chances are
that father knows a great deal more
about everything worth knowing than
you do. When you are, say, 80 years DID,
you will realize the fact.
And do not think father is unnecessa-
rily firm or arbitrary
He may make mistakes, but when he
says mol" he is saying it for your good.
He is usually right. He wants to make
a man of you. And the longer you live
the more will you agree that he is the
safest, kindest and wisest adviser you
ever knew.
Honor him who looks like you.

The Difference

Variety is the spice of life.
Therefore spice it!
Do you wake up with a grouchy feel
ing that your life is a daily humdrum
of monotony, dreading the tedious hours
ahead of you?
Well, you can spice it.
You can yawn and growl and view the
prospect with apathy or with disgust.
You can sit down in surly mood to your
breakfast, vouchsafng no word save that
of complaint. You can get up and kick
the dog and yowl scat" at Table, and
slam yourself out of the door and scowl
yourself down the street.
That would afford variety. Or
When you wake up you can say, TITS
only eight hours and then back home
again." Notice the difference in the
mental point of view
In the kitchen wife is getting break
fast Not much variety in that. Sup

wife and kiss her and tell her she is
the best ever, which may surprise her
some, but that is variety, is it not?

<SHALYAYs say to my young friends. p"
said Adelina Patti, mot can you
shake. can you trill, can you imi-
tate hooking bird. but can you sing a
simple ballad In a straightforward fash
ion, such a ballad. for instance. as
Home. Sweet Home? That is the real
test
Patti knows.
She has demonstrated the art of song
In its appeal to the human heart for
many years.
And what she says OF singing applies
to every other thing in life. Simplicity
and truth and naturalness are the touch
stones of all achievement.
What was the greatest picture at the

common people, crowded?
1t was a simple theme. boy who is

on hers the brooding mother love- And
underneath the picture is the legend:

The picture was simple, true, direct

STOPPING to take his little one in his
arms.
Simple, true, straightforward was
the art of the heart.
The same thing is true in architecture
The simple lines are the graceful lines
and the great lines. The appeal is di-
rect.
1t Is true of literature. The great books
that have lived are the books that in
terpret the elemental emotions.
1t is true of oratory The simple words
of Lincoln's Gettysburg address outlive
the polished periods of Edward Everett.
Tolstoy is right.
His definition of art is that it Is a
message from the heart of the artist.
it is an appeal from the heart to the
heart.
Art is heart.
Song, picture, building, book, GRAFTON,
statue-in every case the great message
is the simple one.
And
Although we cannot all write books, or
paint pictures, or sing songs, or dream
great buildings, it may be said of our
common life that If it is strue and
straightforward and simple and genuine
1t is great.
