The first question a man asks when

Few people realize how much the
little attentions of every dav life mean to
their associates in the home. the church.
and the business place. 1t is generally
lack of consideration which makes one
forget the tiny pleasantries; but lack of
consideration is really one form of
selfshness, and selishnesS is not con-
sldered desirable quality. Remember
that the little things of life either good
or bad, count for more with those we
love than we ever know and we should
be watchful of our actions and our
words.

a boy is studying for a learned profession
whose proper sphere is the machine shop
or the mill; many a man is splitting
up churches who ought to be doing good
service IN some institution of learning.
or working on a farm. and many a
woman is trying in vain to be a leader of
society when she should be a model
housewife in her own home.
Some men and women have easy
times. but that does not mean happy
times. The easy men and women do
not look as Contented as might be ex-
pected. They struggle under their load
of ease. When they laugh they only
make believe laugh. Having such an
easy time they become lazy. Their
bones become stiff; their head becomes
clogged up and their hearts become
hard. If the inhabitants Of Easy
Street, had to scratch for living the
result would be that they would be less
troubled with dyspepsia
We like to sing the praises Of the
who remain unmarried that
they might administer to aged parents.
The brutal world calls these self sacri-
fcing ones peculiar or angular, but if you
had had as many annoyances as they had
had, Xantippo would have been an
angel compared with you. Ii is easier to

Among the very best women are those
who allowed the bloom of youth to pass
awav while thew were carino for their
parents. While other maidens were
sound asleep, they were soaking their
fathers feet, or tucking up the covers
around an invalid mother. While other
maidenS were in the cotiion they were
and spreading plasters for the lame back
of the septenarian. and heating catnip
tea for insomnia.
