Farmers are considered the most

If the average man were to initiate

POOR OLD HUMAN NATURE
Old-Fashioned Man Declares Whsn
Motorists Are Masked No One
Can Recognize Them.

Human nature, at least as she is
depicted in humans, is being sadly
relegated to the background" remark
ed an old-fashioned man who has kept
his eyes opened for the last twenty
years.
"How so?" asked his young friend.
Look at yourself and ask that ques-
tionzif you can. You're a sight with
that cap, those goggles, that coat!
You and all other motorists, and all
these upto-date persons who have Ia
ken to the flying machines, are no
more like human beings when you get
on your sporting raiment than if you
belonged to some queer species of anil
NAL. In the good old days of the
horse you drove out in your hats and
coats and your friends could recog-
nize you. Now you are masked worse
than burglars and no one knows one
of you from another. Why-look at
the women on the streets even! They
don't look like the women God made.
They are painted and pulled and dis
torted by dress and those weird look
ing scroll-like wells until the human
face and form are as unlike what ma.
ture intended them to be as If she
had had no hand in the matter at all.
l am not peevish, but l can't help
standing up for the good old nature
that love" Whereupon the younger
man adjusted his goggles, drew down
the visor of his cap, cranked up his
machine and prepared to leave.

CONDUCTOR PASSED THEM UP
TWO "Ham" Actors Figured Way to
Beat the Railroad, and
Succeeded.

There were two comedians who had
been stuck in village near Canton,
with Cleveland many miles away. And
the first comedian, being the more
witty OF the two, and being further
more what they call the feeder" of
the team, says he:
"Whatll we do noxt?"
"Ill tell you-let's count the house."
They emptied their pockets and
found that by squeezing cent or two
they could manage to buy a ticket to
Cleveland. One ticket. They did it,
and started forth-the two grown men
on single piece of pasteboard. OF
course the conductor kicked.
There's only one ticket here" he
growled.
That's mine," said one of the &C
tors.

"Me-me! squealed the actors in
chorus. "Put me off-go ahead and
do it spoke first"
well, I can't do it tere, but one of
you must get off at the next station.
But three local stations passed, and
the conductor didn't come back. AS a
matter of fact, he never appeared I'M

Husbands and wives give expression
to every petty feeling of irritation and
handy words back and forth till some
molehill assumes the proportions OF a
mountain. A tendency to nag goes un-
checked among the children, and al
most before the parents are aware
there is a chronic condition of I'M
pleasantness in the home. Young
married people, especially need to
learn control in this direction. An
other disagreeable trait to be guarded
against is the habit, peculiar to some
people, of always being on the opposite
side of a question. Call attention to
the good points of book, person, a
public movement, work of art, or
what not, and this individual is ever
ready to interpose "Yes-but." Con.
versation in such home gives one the
chills.

Let us build our house on the hilltop
of cheerfulness, so high that no shad-
ows may rest upon it, and where the
morning comes early and the evening
tarries late. She is to be pitied whose
house is in some valley of grief, with
the longest night and shortest day.
God has put us here to make the world
brighter and happier by our lives and
everyone of us should study how to be
blessing 10 others. We must get the
wrinkles out of our brow and we must
have smiling faces. Let man go
home at night worn and wearied by
the tolls of the day and how soothing
is word dictated by cheerful dis
position. 1t is sunshine falling on his
heart. He is happy and the cares Of
life are forgotten. Smiles, kind words
and looks characterize the children,
and peace and love have their dwell
ings there. Home should be the
center of joy.

How great beauty and blessing it
is to hold the royal gifts of the soul SO
that they shall be music to some and
fragrance to others, and life to all!
Some ',omen cling to their homes like
the honeysuckle over the door, yet,
like it, sweeten all the region with the
subtle fragrance Of their goodness.

1t is wicked to loaf. Every man is
created for purpose and he has no
right to shirk that responsibility. If
you have friends on money that simply
increases your responsibility. No man
has right to loaf. Nothing can be
more humiating to parent than to
know that his son is confirmed loafer

from the toll of other hands and Great

Honor the father and the mother;
love the wife; reverence the husband;
provoke not the children to wrath; be
kindly afIectionate one to another:
tender hearted, pitiful, forgiving, for
bearing one to another in love; show

preferring one another; rejoicing and
weeping in sympathy; striving for
peaceable living; not rendering railing

Careful observance of these rules
would drive out all jealousies and
janglings which rob the home OF It's
peace and order.

Men give up a great deal for their
families-their time, their strength,

Getting His
Bearings

Young Brooks raced down the long
platform and reached the first sleep
ing car just as the train came to a
standstill. He waited impatiently
while a porter scrambled down and
placed his step In position for the
passengers.
The frown Of anxiety on the brow
of young Brooks vanished instantly
when slender young woman APP
peared at the car door She descended
calmly and held out her hand In greet
ing. She was blonde and pretty and
wore becomingly plain dark gray
travelling suit.
There was an orchid In the button
hole of that becoming travelling suit.
Young Brooks had violent pang at
the sight of the orchid as he thought
OF its possible significance.

Man has done wonders since he came
before the public. He has navigated
the ocean, he has penetrated the mys-
teries of the starry heavens, he has
harnessed the lightning and made it
pull street cars and light the great
cities of the world. But he can't find
spool of red thread in his wife's work
basket; he can't discover her pocket in
dress hanging in closet; he can t
hang out clothes and get them on the
line right side up. He cannot hold
clothespins in his mouth while he is
doing it either. He cannot be polite
to somebody he hates. He cannot sit
in . rocking chair without banging the
rockers into the baseboards. He can
not put the tidy on the sofa pillow
right side out. He cannot sew on n
button. In short. he cannot do hun
dred things that women do almost
instnctively.
