one that will permit a policeman to

law was made in the interests OF

bound in the red flannel to prevent
the noise of slate rafting that used
to become unbearable. until manu-

Stores selling school supplies used

proverbs that its ideals frequently
find expression.
Many of the national proverbs of
Japan were collected and translated
several years ago by Ota Masayoshi
and were published under the title
of japanese Proverbs 1t is from
this entertaining little volume that
the following is taken:
Patience is the rope of advance
ment in all lines of life.
The ignorant are never defeated
in any argument.
1t is more easy to evade the
trouble which heaven sends us
than that which we bring upon our
selves
If the water he too pure, fish can
not live in it, if people be too ex-
acting, fellow being cannot live be-
side them
Where there are no birds, the bat
will be king.
The mind is clear, even in a dark
room there will be radiance; the
thought is dark at MONDAY, there
will be demons.
Be not ienient to your own faults
keep your pardon for others.
When the sense of shame is lost
advancement ceases.
Genius hears one individual and
then, comprehends ten.
Negligence looks at the battle
field, then makes its arrows.
Seeking information is a mo-
ment's shame; but not to learn is
surely a lasting shame
A woman without jealousy is
like ball without elasticity.
Unless blind and deaf, one can
not be impartial.

Each little beam has its place in

Each little river drops impulse and

Each little hand and each little

All can be gentle, useful and kind.
