The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-11-25

Boosting of progress is an indication
Of supreme satisfaction, Of personal
pleasure and pride in the accomplish
ment, It's good to look at, quite pleas
ing to see and few men, unless those
whose jealous natures see naught of good
in anything, unless it is OF their own
making, but what understand the feeling
Of qualification expressed in an honest
boast. The desire TO excel is a laudable
one--those imbued with it seldom find it
necessary to acknowledge defeat; in fact,
are natural winners by reason of pos.
session, talent, to take advantage and
make the thing they are working on a
go from the start.

Promptly comes forth the drill master"
of the boy scouts with an enthusiastic
offer to put the scouts into the breach,
some to shine, while their heroic COM

some of our exchanges, we can't make
serious capital out Of this. 1t would be
only to laugh, if it were not so dis
gusting.

The American Federation of Labor
gave wide circulation recently to the
action taken by the Baptist ministers
of Minnesota in adopting minimum
wage scale Of 500 a year for unmarried
and 5000 per year for married ministers.
As result, there has come about a
general discussion in other states rela-
tive to the feasibility of its general
adoption. It is fact long recognized
that many Of the pastors in Vermont are
not remmerated sufficiently for the serv-
ices performed.

When the royal commission, otherwise
named the railway inquiry commission
of England, was appointed to make an
effort to adjust the differences between

great strike was called off, pending a
report, it was confidently expected that

faetorily adjusted. 1t appears, however,
| that the report of the commission is
unsatisfactory TO all the men, the report
even going so far as to deny the right
of the employees organizations TO be rec
ognized by the railroad companies, Prac-
| tically all labor men are a unit in their
criticism of the report As a result, a
great strike is imminent unless an adj
iustment is reached shortly. The eondi-
tion at this time is critical.

Obituary..

Lewis w. Richards was born in Logan
County, Illinois. August Both, 1884 and
passed away at his late home in Omaha,
Nebraska, April Bird, 1911, aged 20 years
8 months and days. Nearly all his life
time was spent in Audubon County
Iowa with the exception of the last
three years. On last Wednesday he took
sick with pneumonia and succumbed to
the disease in five days. In 1907 he was
united in marrige with Miss Thelma
Richmond, his now sorrowing compan-
ion. The many friends of this young
man will learn with grief the sad news
of his early death. At one time he was
a member of the choir of the NJ. +.
church at this place, he also sang in a
quartette in Omaha while there. His
sun has gone down while it was yet day.
A sorrowing father and mother, his
wife, a little nephew and niece with
many friends and acquaintences mourn
the early death of loving son, husband
friend and brother. Funeral services at
the Evangelical church Tuesday at 1920
conducted by J. H. Freedline, pastor of
First NJ Z. Church assisted by Rev.
Schlesselman of the Evangelical church.
A mixed quartette sang several beauti-
full selections. Intermentin Maple Grove

Don't Be A Kicker

If you think your lot in life is hard, If
you imagine that the other fellow has
the best of it; if you are disposed to kick
on things you have to do and rail at
fate because you have to do them; il
you see the other fellow in an automo-
bile and think you too should have one
forget it.
Your lot in life may be hard but if
you will look around at the hundreds Of
people you know whose lot is ten fold
harder than your own you will find
cause for contentment. You may have
to work and work hard for what you
get, but just remember that work is
the best panacea for the mental brood
ings of humanity that was ever discov-
cred and that the happiest fellow in the
world is the one who is busy.
The other fellow may ride in an auto
mobile and you may not, but maybe
the other fellow has given his note for
the car and is really worse off than you.
The only sure happiness comes from
being contented with your lot and in
trying to treat the people around you
as well as you know how
Do your tasks pleasantly, accept your
lot in life with philosophy and give the
best there is in you to whatever you
have in hand.
The world has no use for the wilmer,
and just as it is true that lit is a poor
workman who kicks at his TOOLS" it is
also true that the fellow who whimpers
admits by SO doing that he is falling be-
hind in the race.
The world existed before you came in
to it and the biggest and the best of US
does not make much of ripple on the
surface when he leaves. Do not make
the mistake of taking yourself too seri-
ously. Really great people never make
that mistake. 1t is only the pin head
who'thinks he is some pumpkins in
the scheme of things. Everyone of us
fills niche but do not forget that that
niche can be just as well filled by some
one else.
The skeletons in your closet are no more
garish or horrible to look at than are
the skeletons in the other fellows closet
and if all the closets were opened up
the rattle of dry bones would emerge
them all
The world is a good place if you make
it so. Be booster, an optimist. No one
will take you seriously if you take your
self too much so, and you will make
only poor joke of yourself when you
might be doing things.
Remember that after all everyone of
us gets in life about what he earns, and
that, as Josh Billings says, those of us
who are afraid wen do more than we
are paid to do seldom get paid for more
than we do.
Laugh little, and develop your
sense of humor. Remember that the
other people in the world have the same
| rights you have. Boost your business,
your competitors business, your town
and your state. Advertise in your home
paper and read it,
Don't kick--and you II be happy. AT
lantic News.

There are lots of robins and blue birds,
and an oriole is about. Little girls bring
in to teacher punches of flowers they
pluck in the woods. Snoopie Mitchell
fetches home, through town, a big string
of perch and bull -heads-much more
significant. He caught them while you
and Hen had to work But you have q
can of worms collected, ready.
Yellow jacket hornets are building a
nest in the woodshed, just over the door.
They must be ousted. Father does it.
The stoves are taken down, and the
parlor and dining room look empty. The
hard-c coal stove was taken down and
out when the house was cleaned, but
the wood-stove was left up little, for
safety everybody lifting sturdily when
the carpet was replaced under its zinc.
Your feet burst out, at last. They
must do it; the law of nature, in the
call of spring, is too strong Mother
gives reluctant yes" All, now what
Gghtness, what buoyance, what racy
exultationl You may fly, you scarcely
touch the sidewalk. And ah, how de-
licious to wriggle toes in the soft, cool
mud and squirt it up betweenl
The clogging, suffocating, swaddling
winter woolens are peeled, and you know
the bliss of medium weights, smelling
freshly of camphor. With feet and body
thus freed, you cannot contain yourself;
and, ruffling about, you get bloody
nose from another kid, at school. You
almost lick him, only he is bigger than
you.
1t thunder storms. Grandpa Davis
hobbies downtown and predicts no more
frost. Mother is planting her flower beds.
The windows at school remain open all
the day. The red-headed woodpeckers
drum tantalizingly upon the steeple of
the Baptist church. Snoopie Mitchell re-
ports that he has gone in swimming;
says the water is warm and bully.
Yes, spring, as enchanting as poets
ever pictured, has all arrived, and the
world is to be congratulated Lippin-
colts.
