 during regular hours?
 'Yes, but this is my own.
 And a good bit of work it is, repeat ed the prisoner, eyeing the crude imple- ment fashioned by his own hands Nor
 would he promise to quit making saws.
 His bit of work. Other than means of escape it solved a deeper probem-the
 hungry craving to do something of him. self And it made him forget. Your work, my work-how sometimes we flee from it as from an enemy, Whereas it is our good friend in disguise. It gives individual expression, enabling us to make the most of ourselves, and
 also it saves our sanity and assuages l many a sorrow. Work. It offers to the sorrow laden surcease and the forgetting that quiets the heart. It gives to the tired brain that betimes refuses to go on in orderly thought its groove. Tt takes the hands that would wiring themselves in hopeless despair and puts into them the familiar feel of the old everyday tool His bit of work How oftentimes we cling to ours as did the prisoner, Save i the gnawing of the heart It is all that | is left to us.

Tell the Truth

Wanted.-Stuation by boy of sixteen. Has been arrested for stealing. Address Evening Press, Kalamazoo, Mich
 The advertisement was printed one day not long ago precisely as reproduced here- with
 And brave ad. it is.
 The boy was in jail. And he stole. His name is Charles Humphrey, and this is the story
 When the lad was II years of age his father ran away. leaving the mother, Charles and baby brother. The boy bravely took his place as head of the household. His, earnings, though small. supported the invalid mother and the two children.
 Charles lost his job. He tried desperate ly to get another. Occasionally he found something to do but could not get regular employment. The little family began to be in great want. The sight of his suffer- ing mother and brother was almost more than the lad could endure.
 One day he rushed from the poor dwel- ing in tears and took everything he could lay his hands on.
 '"The little thef?''
 But wait. You do not understand.
 When Charles was arrested and asked why he had been taking things he refused to open his mouth. Like the Grecan boy who let the wolf gnaw his vitas while he smiled, young Humphrey was silent. The court sent an officer to the home, and this is what he found:
 The dwelling was mere shack 4Al- though the air was cold, there was no fire and no fuel. The chill wind drove through the cracks There was no nor sel of food. The bed4othes were mere rags. The mother was half clad and the little boy almost naked.
 He was always good boy. sobbed the poor mother. He worked hard when he could get job, and we are starvns."
 That's all.
 Excepting this--the boy who will stand between mother and the kid and the gaunt wolf starvation and go to jail with out a whimper has got man inside of him.
 And more
 A boy who will acknowledge his theft and then ask for a situation deserves the situation-and a chance.
 It confirms ones faith in human nature to learn that Charles got his chance and is making good.

The Blessing of Work

Justice" the play written by John Galsworthy, contains fine teaching.
 A prisoner has made saw with which to escape. He hides it in his mattress.
 He very we'll knows the penalty should the implement be discovered. Also he knows that should he escape in all prob ability he will be returned and for a longer time.
 The saw is found.
 And when the warden tells him of the slight chance of escape and the probabil- ity of return the prisoner smiles grimly Asked why he did not learn from expe-

Boiling the Soap

On the complaint of the neighbors in her flat a Chicago health officer stopped nn old woman from boiling soft soapNon her gas range.
 And the little old lady cried and said she didn't exactly need the soap, but she was Lonesome for Indiana and just had to boil something.'
 Ever help make soft soap?
 Il so you will understand how the old woman felt.
 If you were the boy of the family you tended. as preliminary to the grand boil ing, the teaching hopper. Some folks had regular .hoppers, and others used a barrel, into which were put the wood ashes. Your business was to keep the I've dripping from the ashes by pouring water into the Hopper from time to time. and woe betide you if you let the thing run dry!
 There was the big kettle
 Swung over the fire in the back yard, the kettle was utilized in the fall for making apple butter, in the spring for the soap boiling.
 Into the old black kettle went the I've and the soap fat and meat rinds carefully ktreasured through the winter.

To a Young Man

It goes without saying that you wish to succeed in whatever business you are engaged. We'll Do you know you can easily put yonr- self in the way of your success, become your own competitor, be your own enemy ? How is that? Why, you become your own enemy when you indulge in habits that prevent your being at your best. Now Your largest capital is yourself-a sound mind in sound body. Your brain, nerves, muscles, blood-these are the means by which you get things done. So that what ever clouds your brain, shatters your nerves, weakens your muscles vitiates your blood depletes by so much your vol ume of working capital. You put yourself against you Whenever you give way to any sort of dissipation, any overindulgence that puts you to bed late and gets you up in the
 morning with bad head or tangled
 nerves. you lessen by that much your chances.
 The joker says:
 If whisky interferes with your business,
 give Up your business"
 Aye! In very truth, if whisky or gam
 bling or any other thing interferes with
 your business give up your business and
 make the whisky drinking, the gambling
 or what not your main business, because
 it is only question of time when you
 must cut out one or the other Let your natural competitor in business
 -the other fellow-do the dissipating If he
 chooses. As for you, stick fast to your business in business hours. Outside of bushes
 get plenty of sleep, good air and regular
 meals. Let your competitor waste his time and health if he wills to do so. AS for you You cannot afford it, If you care more for being successful.
 independent, a man among men, than you
 do for your appetite, do not be your own
 rival in business. Do not be your own
 handicap. Nobody but you can defeat you. Why fight against yourself?

ture (which you did mind), and
 Do you not hear again the snapping of the hickory wood? And
 The twitter of the robins?
 And see the chipmunk wonder in the weeds? And hear the guinea hens with their 'Potrack, potrack?"
 Do you not see the vivid grass and the tumbled clouds in the blue, blue sky clouds that sail and sail?
 And sometimes as you watched the clouds and dreamed the dreams of boy hood the soap boiled over!
 Now
 What is the moral of this snapshot of the old Indiana soap boiling?
 There is none. Can't an old fellow in dulge his memory sometimes without mor- alizng?
 The huge soap factories with their great caldrons and tall stacks have long since taken away the need for boiling soft soar in the back yard, but
 They can never take away the dear old memories of day that is dead.

Alb Hly young lIlcilu. T tell you it requires brave o man or woman to get married now adays."
 .Why?'
 Look at the divorce courts. Note the articles running in the magazines, such as Why l Left My Husband, or Why My Wife Left Me, '>or Three Weeks Mar ried and Out and so on.'
 Does look dangerous. But
 You must remember the story of hap py marriage is not news It is only the failures that are played up'' by the newspapers and exploited in magazine articles.
 In the first place
 l believe the average person expects toe much from marriage. Do not fancy that the state of matrmony is the New Jeiu- salem let down out of heaven If you do you will be disappointed.
 And, for that matter
 Did you ever have any experience of pleasure, long dwelt upon, that came up to your expectations? Does anything of that sort pan out according to antic- patton? Marriage is no exception to the rule of things human.
 Marriage means adjustment.
 When two persons begin to live with each other they discover that each must give up something. There must be in the household the two bears the old woman spoke of-bear and forbear.
 You may be happy though married.
 Bearing each others burdens, forbearing each other in love, letting each day take care of it's own problems, not expecting too much, bravely facing the future-that is the plain way to marital harmony.
 What about love?'' you say.
 That is first of all of course. But love, mind you--loye tested by marriage--is much more than sentiment and kisses.
 Real love- the love that abides, is long suffering and kind seel<eth not it's own. Love is devotion. Love is self sacrifice. Love is great respect for the other self.
 And
 In true marriage you will discover that ten years from your wedding day your de- votion toward, your great respect for, your high affection for, your loved one Is ten times greater.
 And so on through the years.
