The Evening Chit-Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

Are you one OF those people who are
forever saying, II wish l had this or
that" Il wish someone would die and
leave me $4,000 II wish, etc, ETC.?
II you are, did you ever realize that
there is such thing as the immortal
ity of wishing?
Probably not
But isn't there?
/ think there is
Indeed. l think wanting to have
things without paying for them in
coin of honest labor or sacrifice or
desert or some similar specie is one
of the greatest immoralities in the
world
II is this attitude which stands be-
hind half the sins and foflies in the
calendar
The thief. the seducer, the gambler
and thousand others are products of
the desire to have without paying.
Then, too, over much wishing is
enervating.
1t has somewhat the same effect up
on the character that riding all the
time and never using ones legs and
God meant them to be used would have
upon the body muscles.
OF course, there is more than one
kind of wishing
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-09-25

There is the light hearted, non
chaiant wish that says cheerful1y, TT
would be fun 10 have one OF those
touring cars to be rushing around the
country in or Wouldn't it be great
to live in a big house like that
And there is the disconnected. UNI
happy wish that says enviously. "Oh.
dear. l wish | had that automobile. .
Il wish I had his money" why can't
have a chance like that?"
The first kind of wishing is use
less. but harmless if not INDUCED in
too much. The second is both useless
and harmful.
Wishing is only allowable when II
grows strong enough to become a
motive for an honest attempt at &C
quirement
Wishing is like steam. useless and
sometimes dangerous when allowed to
escape. but capable of accomplishing
great things when harnessed.
Teach your children-and incident
ally yourself If you need it--not tc
say or think Il wish too much.
Teach them, in more concrete terms
of course, that labor and contentment
are the two handmaidens of happines.
| and that neither likes the company OF

Army Officers Charged With Expense
of TRANSPORTING Troops.

Congress is to be asked to relieve army
