lot Of fancy dishes which don't easily

The doctor told me sharply that I mustn't
eat so much,
That I'd have 10 quit the rabbits and the
cakes and pies and such,
ana ne figures out diet which was GER
tain to agree
With my broken down condition-it was
merely toast and teal
Yet my stomach isn't better, and 1 suffer
Just the same,
And think the doctors faking-spite Of al
his fees and fame;
I've been truly very faithful to his dietary
wish.
Though I've varied 1t a little with some
steak and chops and fish,
with some nicely fried potatoes, and some
doughnuts fresh and hot,
And fine old English pudding that was
smoking from the pot
Yet my chronic indigestion is as bad as II
can be,
And I've lost all faith in diets such as
simple toast and tea!
In fact, I think It harmful, for last night J
nearly died!
My pangs were something terrible,
moaned and groaned and cried
had the fierecst nightmare that a mortal
ever knew!
Yet toast and tea was all ate-except a
clam or two,
A link or SO of sausage and glass or two
nicely roasted pigeon, and a lobster that
was fine.
Now know the other items never yet have
troubled me,
And It couldn't be the lobster, so it must
have been the tea!

What a cry went up a few years ago
against women in business. It was claimed
womeniwere taking the work that belonged
to men. But the protest eventually sub
sided; women went right on working. and
soon 1t was discovered that any man who
really wanted to work could still find a
Job. The same outcry has gone up against

tRevised version)
In the summer Of 1896 a boy was riding
bicycle on a country road. The bicycle
craze was at its height. The boy had not
| owned a wheel very long at that time. As
he was spinning along he met a man with
team. The horses. not being used to
I bicycles, showed great alarm The driver
| called to the boy to dismount until he
could get past The boy, who thought he
knew his rights, called back that he would
do nothing OF the sort. as he was giving
half the road and would ride past The
results for both were far from satisfac-
tory.
The difficulty in this instance was that
complete adjustment to a new situation
had not been made Yes" some will say.
the horse should have known better than
to shy" True, but the horse had not had
much experience with bicycles at that time
Certainly the boy on the wheel had a right
to half the road, and there was no law
compelling him to get off and give all of it,
But in the new situation caused by new
and strange vehicle II would have been
better for all concerned II the boy had
dismounted and given the road. It was the
boy that needed adjustment to a new sit
uation. In our progressive civilization this
readjustment must go on all the time or
we come to hopeless confusion.
It is said that one Of the first locomo-
tives to cross the plains was attacked by
Indians. One more handy than the rest
sought to check the speed of the iron
monster by throwing a lariat over the
smokestack. He never did it again. The
trouble was the engine was a new feature
in the economy of the Indian and he had
had not adjusted himself to IT,
The whole problem of Christian ethics is
laid bare here. The world moves on and
we find ourselves in strange company anc
facing strange conditions. What shall We
do about Il? Fret ourselves because things
are not as they used to be, or shah we
accept the changes as they come and seek
