EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERoN.

''Was 1t Tuesday or Thursday that
you met Mr.. Someone?"
Tuesday"
Are you sure ?"
''Why, let me see. I don't know. I
think it was Tuesday, but I'm not
sure
Surely that conversation must have
a familiar ring to you.
7 made it up right out of my head.
but I tried TO have Il typical of the
thousand and one similar conversations
that you and 7 have heard.
How few people in this world are
surei
1t is customary to inveigh against
the cocksure people who make positive
statements on insufficient grounds, but
am inclined to think that they are
much rarer and much less of a pest
than the people who never are sure.
You ask them about the simplest
thing-did they leave the house before
or after two O'Clock, was such-and-
such a window shut, was there a light
in Mr.. So-and-So's house when they
passed, and they cannot be sure.
Probably they will answer you posi-
lively and promptly at first, but if you
press them with the question, Are you
sure?" they back down.
They think So AS far as they can
remember, it was so-and-so. They are
pretty sure. But sure-unmodified-
no, they can't be that.
Do you know. think that the un-
Willingness to be sure is a bad kind of
cowardice.
We are afraid to stand by our
knowledge. we are afraid to rely on our
own minds, we don't dare to know
what we know.
OF course, to be foolishly and IN
justifiably positive about things, is a
fault But it is at least the fault of
the doer; and l can't but believe that
his faults will be more easily forgiven
than those of the eternal hanger-back
You remember how often Peter
made mistakes. You remember his
greatest mistake-that positive asser-
ton that he failed to live UP to- And
yet, think most people have a pecu-
liarly kindly feeling toward Peter, and
somehow. I've always fancied that the
Lord especially loved Peter. You see,
his mistakes were always those of the
doer.
Never to dare to be sure is a luke
warm, ENJOYABLE weakness, the weak
ness of the wet rag that goes safely
by the fire.
The successful business men are al
ways sure.
The great reformers are always sure
Big people of any kind are always
sure. That's part of their bigness.
Trust thyself is second only in i'm
portance to know myself.
Train your child to be sure Teach
him when he knows a thing to know
it, and not to be backed down by any
challenge and you will have given him
a habit of mind that will undoubtedly
lead to courage and self-reliance.

TIE PRINCEss, SONG

I would l had lover who would come
to me
IN white ship sailing across a shining
sea.
I would had a lover before my heart
Grows old,
who'd bring me jewels from fairyland
and a crown of fairy gold,
And fan of Phoenix's feathers for my
two hands to hold
But of all the lovers in the world there's
not one draWeth nigh,
And of all the ladies in the land the
loneliest am I.
On. there's never ship all the seas
VIII drop its anchor here;
NOW let the chill winds blow on me and
leave me brown and sere,
Like a leaf which forgets the summer,
in the chill time o the year

Harper county papers are pointing
with pride to the fact that of the

This means that the bootleggers there

Leader says: There is a very conta-
gious disease called Inconsistencies
among the Sophomores, Juniors and
Freshies." Evidently the school re-
porter of the Leader is a Senior. Nor
is this disease confined to pupils in
high schools. Any number of grown
ups have it.
No pupil in the Harper high school
has a chance of getting a perfect
monthly grade in department. Pro-
fessor Lehman. the principal of the
school, puts his theory into practice
that no pupil could go through
month with such an accomplishment
as absolutely perfect department. So
even If there are no department
marks against any of the pupils, he
will take off five per cent on the de-
pertinent rating on general principles,
making the highest possible grade for
department 95. In other words, in
the Harper high school a department
mark of IS will represent perfect de-
pertinent.
