A man who was afraid Of thunder
crawled into a hollow log as place of
safety during a thunder storm. The
thunder rolled, the rain poured down
in torrents, and the old log began to
swell up till the poor fellow was
wedged in so tight that he could not
get out. All his past sins began
passing before him. Suddenly he
remembered that he had not paid his
newspaper subscription. and he felt
so small that he was able to back
right out. .'oyr,.

In charging the grand jury at the
Glamorgan assizes at Swansea, South
Wales, recently, Mr.. Justice Scrutton,
who is a well known criminal judge,
said the greater number of crimes
were probably due to drink When
popular education and the growth of
social feeling had succeeded in making
it more Of a disgrace than it was
at present for a man TO be intoxicated.
and when legislation had given fewer
facilities for obtaining drink half his
work as q criminal judge would be
gone.

We are apt to rely upon future
prospects and become really ex-
pensive while we are only rich
in possibility. We live up to
our expectations, not to our pos
sessions, and make figure pro-

not what we are. We outrun
