And wait


Out of the common experience Of our
American life has been coined. in the
vernacular of the street, an expression
that contains much of philosophy. The
saying is:
keep still and saw wood
In physics you find the striking force
of moving body by multiplying the
velocity by the weight. In terms of
human life you get the force Of man
by multiplying his ability to do by his
ability to keep still and wait
Keep still
When the foundations of the great
deep beneath you seem broken up and
the waves of adverse fate threaten 4O
overwhelm you it may be hard to do
but
Keep still.
There is nothing to be gained by, cry
ing out. Spare the Indifferent world
recital of your griefs. Keep your head
and conserve your strength to save
what may be saved from the wreck Of
your hopes,
Keep still.
When lover proves recreant or friend
deceives, court not ridicule by pro
claiming your wounds. When affection
comes or bereavement, when misfOr-
tune threatens, nurse your hurts in
private.
Keep still.
There's power in keeping still
And to be effective one must apply
the other half of this apOthegm-saw
wood
Work is salvation. There's health
and bIessedness and peace in the reg
ulation task. No matter how poignant
| the sorrow or how keen the regret or
dire the disappointment, there's steadi,
| ness of soul in doing the accustomed
/ thing.
Saw wood.
If you have no wood to saw, no work
that fits your hand and mind, you are
| of all men most miserable. You can
| only nurse your sullen pride or brood
| over your fallen fortune and tell over
| and over to yourself what yourself
most hates to hear.
That way lies the state Of mind that
courts rebellion or meditates despair.
Keep still and-saw wood!
You can waste your life in outcry
and in friction. You can throw your
self down in the roadway by which
men pass and cry aloud and refuse to
go on, or you can clinch your teeth
and travel with the caravan.
And If you will only keep still and
go on in the frequented way by and by

straws In the Smoking Room.

There is no odor more disagreeabIe
than that of stale tobacco smoke and
tobacco ashes. Sometimes d room be-
comes so permeated with it that it is
hardly possible for delicate persons to
breathe in it. No amount Of ventiIa-
ton or cleaning seems to have much
effect, once the tobacco od0r has be-
come a distinguishing feature Of the
smoking room or den.
Here is a remedy suggested by a
housewife who suffered and overcame:
Close the room up we'll overnight,
with doors and windows tightly shut
and leave in it a large pail full Of
water, with a few wisps of straw.
For. some reason the water and stray
together absorb the smoke and even
take up the odOr of ashes. Needless
to say, all discoverable ashes should
previously have been removed and
thrown away.
By morning the room is odorIess and
a little airing will cool it out and put

Cecil Rhodes and a Shirt.

An anecdote of Cecil Rhodes is told
in Sir William Francis Buffers auto
biography When the name of Cecil
Rhodes began to be used by the public
tongue, a friend of mine asked the
late Colonel Frank Rhodes to tell him
something about this brother of his of
whom the financial world was talking
my brother is a strange man," Frank
replied I'VE were young chaps to-
gether and there wasn't too much
money Or too many things between US.
One day Cecil came and asked me to
let him have one of my shirts, as he
wanted to go to an evening party in
London. Well, wanted the shirt my
self that evening, and I told him he
couldn't have it. He said nothing. but
| knew he didn't like losing chance
so l watched him. l saw him off to
the train. He had neither the shirt on
him, nor had he bag and baggage with
him, but I thought that I'd go to the
drawer and just make sure of my
shirt. 1t was gone! Cecil came back
that night. We'll, Cecil I said, you
won over that shirt of mine, but just
tell me how you did it, for it wasn't
on you when you left here and yoU
had no parcel with you. What die
you do with it? He chuckled a little
and said dryly, I put it on under the

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS.


What j. Your idea Of success?
DO you think it consists i'll achieve,
Gnenj, in accomplishing things?
Success is more than achievement
You may accomplish things By acct
dent, because of favorable conditions,
by forces outside of yourself. Sue
cess is more than that.
Success lies in purpose,
Success is in doing ones best.
For instance, there is a little wO-
man in her tiny kitchen drawing her
Saturdays baking from the oven. She
looks longingly out Of the window at
the fne lady in her carriage passing
by.
The world thinks-and the little wo-
man feels-that the fine lady has made
Il success.
But
The woman In the carriage may be
neither successful nor happy, while
the little woman may be both.
The woman who does her daily task,
who rears her children in habits of
honest endeavor and who supplies the
world with an example Of a pure and
patient wife and mother, has made a
success
Her purpose is right, and she mas
done her best
There is the young man who stays
ON the farm and helps father pay off
the mortgage while his brother goes
10 college. Has the faithful stay at
home made a failure?
Ne.
However rich or famous the college
brother may become. he will never
score d greater success in life than he
who made the sacrifice
Success is more than achievement.
The 'told maid" who has stayed and
taken care of the cid folks at home,
who has refused her lovers, sti1ed her
p desire for an education and been faith
full to her duty as daughter, must
tase numbered not with the failures.
The world really owes more to the
quiet, sacrificial workers than to the
noisy cIamorers for publicity.
Like the base Indian who threw
away the pearl worth more than all
his tribe, many a self centered, so
called successful one has thrown away
she real riches of life to hug to his
bosom the hollow decisions which the
world misnames success

TO A MOTHER.

Tear Madam:
I am a mere man" and incapable
Of some things advisory. but l wonder
If you realize how grave mistake +
may be to Overindulge your daughter.
Naturally you try to shield your
child, to save her from hardships; you
efface yourself and sacrifice yourself
for her
For that are you mother.
Nevertheless your self inflicted mar
tyrdOm may work a serious harm to
your daughter
For instance:
| have in mind a good mother who
shaved and pinched, hardened her
hands and bowed her back-shortened
her life, in fact-that her daughter
might attend a fashionable finishing
school"
The daughter graduated and
Returning home discovered that she
was out of touch with the old farm
ways. Her education should have
broadened and sweetened the child,
but it did not. 1t simply untitled her
The sequel?
In sheer desperation the fretting, dis
cOntented girl ran away with a smooth
adventurer and was finally ruined.
An extreme case? Maybe.
But the girls undoing was the out
come Of a wrong maternal policy that
taught the child she ought to have
what she wanted and that all things
must be sacrificed to her career"
She is a rare child who may be thus
petted and without harm.
The tender soIicitude of the doting
mother is noble in its self abnegatiOn,
but it is likely to be carried to the eX-
IRENE of danger to the child.
Let the girl face the realities
1t is not harsh to put burdens upon
her She must get a sane view of
life by meeting hardships, conQuering
difficulties. bearing burdens, facing re.
sponsibiEities Else you deceive your
child; else your sacrifices will make
her. selfish, ungrateful and miserable.
There is but one way to make char
acter Ease and luxury will not do it
The fiber of womanliness is developed
only by hearing burdens, meeting
cares, overcoming obstacles.
Do you want your daughter to be
come a strong and noble woman?
Of course you do.
Then put the full share of Iife's load
on her young shoulders and teach hel
to carry that load cheerfully and grace
fully.
