FRANkN ESS.

BE frank to the world. Frankness is
the child of honesty and courage. Say
just what you mean to do on every oc-
cassion and take it for granted that
you mean to do just what is right II a
friend asks you a favor, you should
grant it, if it is reasonable; # it is not,
tell him plainly why you can not. You
will wrong him and wrong yourself by
equivocation of any kind. Never do
wrong to make friend or keep one;
the man who requires you to do so is
dearly purchased, and at sacrifice.
Deal kindly and firmly with all men
and you will find it the policy which
wears the best. Above all, do not APP
pear to others what you are not. If
you have any fault to find with anyone,
tell him, not others, of what you com
plain. There is no more dangerous eX-
pertinent than that of undertaking to
do one thing to a mans face and an
other to bis back. We should live,
act and speak out of doors, rs the
phrase is, and say and do, what we are
willing should be known and read of
all men.

AMBITION TO FLY COST $500.

"He promised to make me such an
expert aviator that would be able to
fly to Florida with but one STOP was
portion of the testimony of J. ]. Schulz

court. Schulze, who won his suit for
$500 invested in Arthur Eastman's al
legged school of aviation, testified that
several of his friends who had become
enthusiastic over aviation also had lost
money. He sued to recover his money
and the jury awarded judgment
against Eastman, who, according to
Schulze, has left Chicago.

and later Eastman told me if would

but he said | could do the work all
right. Several of my friends wanted
to learn how to fly and one paid in 5000
and another $3.50. When we went

closed and we were told he had left

GROWING OLD.

Do not be fretful because you have
come to spectacles. While glasses
look premature on young mans nose,
they are an adornment to IN Octogen-
arian's face. Besides that, when your
eyesightis poor you miss seeing great
many things-unpleasant things-that
the younger are obliged to look at. Do
not he worried because your ear is be-
coming dali. In that way you can es-
cape being bored with many of the
things that are said if the gates of
sound keep out much of the dscord.
If the hair is getting thin, it takes less
time to comb it, and then it is not all
the time falling down over your eyes;
or if it be getting white, we think that
color is as respectable as any other
that is the color of the snow and the
blossoms and the clouds and all angelic
habiliments. DO not worry because
the time comes or when you must go
into the next world. II is only bet
ter room with brighter pictures, finer
society and sweeter music. The corn
stalk standing in the field today, will
not sigh dismally when the huskers
leap over the fence, and throwing their
arms around the stack, swing it to the
ground; it is only to take the golden
ear from the husk. Death for the aged
Christian is only husking time, and
then the load goes in from the frosts
into the garner. our congratulations
to those who are nearly done with the
nuisances of this world. Give your
staff to your little grandson TO ride
horse on. You are going TO be young
again and you will have no need for
crutches May the clouds around the
setting sun be golden and such as lead
the weather wise" TO prophesy clear
morning.

SELF ESTEEM.

Self-esteem is good thing but you
don't want too much of it, enough Of
anything is enough, and no matter how
good a thing is, too much is
more than you need, and self-esteem is
no exception to the rule.
1t is well enough for man TO hold
his head up and step around with an
air of considerable Importance, If he is
really doing any good in the world by
living in it. OF course man wants To
possess self-confdence, and he wants
to think he is just as good as anybody,
but he don't want to think that the
welfare of mankind hinges on his ac-
tions, or that the earth rests on his
shoulder.
While it is we'll enough for man to
have good opinion of himself, and
feel that he is able to go it alone, he
should be careful not to go too far
Self-esteem is like mince pie-allright
in moderate quantities, but seven or
eight slices is all one should indulge in
at one time. A man has to assume an
air of some Importance in this world TO
get along but the trouble is, too many
Stop over.
This is big world and no man is inn
peratively necessary to its success
Presidents, kings and school directors
may die, but still the old world goes
around. Governors may resign, road
overseers may move away, but the
great mass of mankind never stop to
weep, and when you and pass OIL this
stage of action, there will be several
people perhaps who will not miss IS.
Yes, this is big world and spread
yourself ms you will, gain all the name
and fame possible, reach as far to the
front as you can, and still you have sue
ceeded in attracting the attention of
but few. And when you die, millions
Of eyes will never shed a tear and mil.
lions of tongues will never speak your
name. Your children will quarrel over
your wealth, the lawyers will gobble
it and the world will soon forget you.

THE AFFABLE CLERK.

Bowman Ellis, of Henderson, KY,
is very polite, ard insists on his en-
ployees being as polite as himself.
Recently he took boy into his place
of business with view of training him
as clerk in the way that clerk
ought to be. One. of the things he
teaches the boy, and one he is most
particular about, is politeneSs.
few days ago two ladies drove up
to the curb in front of the grocery in
an automobile. The lad, true to his
teaching, dashed out on the sidewalk,
and, making a profound bow, asked in
most polite tone:
"What can | do for your"
The lady, struck with the lads po-
likeness, answered him in the same po-
lite strain, and the following CONVEX
sation took place:
The Woman would like to look at
"a nice, fat goose, if you please.
Boy essum. Wait just few min
uies. | will send out Mr.. Ellis.
When MIR. Ellis appeared he found
the two women almost hysterical with
mirth. When the younger woman
could speak, she said:
care you it?"
Mr.. Ellis answered that he was it,
but didn't quite catch what she meant.
Between peals of laughter the women
informed him what had passed between
them and the boy.-Ex.

COMPLYING WITH THE LAW.

In complying with the recent act of
congress requiring newspapers to pub
fish information as to ownership, Cir
culation, etc, Fred Newall, editor of
the Canton (Pa.) Sentinel, adds this
statement: 'We also own lawn
mower and have q limited amount of
stock in two telephone companies. A
dog, locally known as Niger tags
us around sometimes, but we disclaim
ownership or responsibility for him.
Said dog sleeps on the mat by our
front door when he don't sleep some
where else. He comes to our house
when we have chicken for dinner, and
climbs up and ticks our hands and
face when he wants favor. At other
times he don't know us. Said dog is
a politician. We don't know what he
is running for, but the last we saw
him he was running from chunk of
wood we threw after him because he
played tag with our undershirt hang
ing on the clothes line. We are a
Taft man and we wear false teeth. We
used to go to Sunday school. If there
is any further information that the
postmaster general wants in regard to
us on the Canton Sentinel, he is re-
ferred to the police"

MAPLE PRODUCTS AND IMITA-
TATIONS.

AT this senson of the year maple
sugar and maple syrups are on the
market in great variety. Most of them
are not maple at all, for the manufac-
ture OF the real stuff in maple prod
ucts is diminishing industry.
maple sugar and maple syrup" IS Us
farmers bulletin issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
are considered delicacies and are not
produced in such quantities as former
ly." The same bulletin expresses the
belief that there is renewed ten
dency toward the production of bet
ter grade of maple products.
The bulletin comedies that there may
be as much stuff on the market mas
querading as maple products as ever
before. "The aggregate OF all pure
maple products and the many imita-
tions may be the same, for it is said
that were all the maple trees cut down,
and thus the supply of maple sap cut
off, no drop in the quantity of sypup or
sugar would be noted" In other words
We may run out of naples, but we shall
never fail to find maple products So
called. In many sections of the coun.
try the maple trees practically have
disappeared. Hence the sugar making
business as it once existed in the rural
regions has ceased
Probably If the farmers had the
trees nowadays they could not com
pete with the shrewd manufacturers
who, without so much as maple Leaf
or twig on their premises, can turn
ont compound that looks TO be the
genuine article and tastes somewhat
like it.
