MAKING SOMETHING OF LIFE
Real Joy Comes From Creating,
Though the Object May Not Be
of Great Significance.

While every mar who makes a liv-
ing is not a genius, yet the real JOY OF
cDeating can belong to each of us In
just as real and true a way. If we
put into farming, Dr. banking, or u
school work, the sense of making
something, we get the great pleasure
out of ii. When we fill any task with
ourselves, we make something. A girl
says, Il made the room tidy" which
simply means she put something of
herself into the disorderly room and
so beautifed it. After she had made
it tidy, it reflected something of her
self; it looked some idea of order such
as she had in her mind. A boy
says, Il made a good recitation In
school yesterday" and he is right for,
although the lesson was already there,
it had to wait for him to come along
and make it a recitation.
So it is everywhere. Making any
thing means, no matter how simple
the task that we bring out something
that did not exist before; and that
that something is to some degree like
the maker of it. We get out what we
put in. If anyone wants to be miser-
able, the surest way is just to do
things without putting his whole heart
and self into them. Think more OF the
mere outside of the tasks and they
are not worth doing. But once put
yourself into them, and all is changed.

BREAKING 1T TO HIM GENTLY
Naval Officers Knew Just How to
Treat Officious Lawyer Who
Was Quitting In"

Courts martial are not ~infrequently
held on battleships in the Charles
town navy yard. Sometimes a sailor
will send for a Boston attorney to de-
fend him, although this tendency Is
discouraged by the officers. Most at
torneys know they have no absolute
right to practice in a naval court, and
can do so only by permission OF the
court, but occasionally a lawyer goes
aboard who does not realize this fact.
A sailor who was charged with
gambling had retained an attorney to
get him off. This attorney, who had
never had such a case before, went
briskly into the officers wardrobe,
where the court YES sitting, and
without waiting on ceremony began
to address the court in a clustering
manner.
Just a minute" interrupted the
presiding officer. who are your"

What does tho orderly want OF

tone.

chief justice; "he merely wants tc

GIVING THE PLUG HIS DUE
Steadyaoino, Sensible Qualities Are
Not Always Accorded the Recog-
milton That They Deserve.

Don't make fun of the plug. He may
be slow and awkward and never get
to the stable until dark, but he is the
fellow who In the end will bring home
the coin, says a Kansas City writer.
The plug horse that pulls the lister
all day In the field puts more money
In the bank for the honest farmer
turns a half In 0:50 fiat and then loafs
for two weeks waiting for another
race to be matched. The old plug
goes out In sunshine and storm and
pulls In a few dollars every week, but
the race horse waits for the day when
the track 10 good and then generally
loses more than he wins. The steady
old plug keeps the wolf from the door,
while the race horse causes the mort
gage to be foreclosed.
Just SO with the Pin your
faith to the plug who keeps eternally
at 1t; the fellow who gets up every
morning and does SO much and Ia
ready to do 1t again next day. He
lays up more shining dollars in the
bank than the swift sport who lies
around all summer waiting for luck
to come along and turn a stream OF
silver into his pocket. One cackling
Plymouth Rock hen is worth a dozen
screaming eagles when it comes to
paying off the mortgage. The plug
10 the fellow who steadies the ship
and acts as ballast when the boat be-
gins to rock. The plug is the fellow
who lives ~contentedly and long and

Books Bound in Rat Skin.

It appear that a new use has been
found for the skin of the common
brown rat. In England, it is said, the
bookbinders have taken TO using these
skins for covers of fine editions hither'

reported that a trade amounting to
one-auarter million dollars a year has
developed in Great Britain and that
many skins are imported from Caledt'
