Failure is often misappled effort.
The worst failures Of all is not to
try hard.
Harsh words are easily spoken. but
long regretted.
In giving pleasure to those about
you should come your greatest pleas
ure.
Drop pennies in the savings bank
Of economy and take out dollars in the
future.
A person who wishes to keep his
friends does not repeat disagreeable
things.
In the worst of us there is suff.
cient good to furnish a topic of con-
versation.
The shadow on thy soul today, my
friend, is perchance but a promise Of
Joy tomorrow.
1t is no disgrace to be poor unless
you continue so without striving to
improve your lot.
Doing his life tasks we'll and cheer
fully is the grandest monument one
can leave behind him.
Pay as you 60. Sooner or later a
man learns that II he does not pay
one way he has to another.
What matters 1t If wash my dishes,
run typewriter or rule kingdom. Sc
long as l fulfill my destiny?
AS a despoiler Of beauty Of face
discomfort with what you have OF
what you haven't holds first place.
Should the jar Of earthenware shat
ter itself upon a rock because it has
not the beauty and refinement OF the
crystal urn?
Some folks think that the misfor
tunes of others are proper subjects
for unfavorable comment. This Is re
fined cruelty.
| A slack shand shows weakness, and
the tight hand strength. There Is nc
surer test of business integrity thar
q we'll balanced expenditure.
The farmer who pays cash for al
he buys does not need to balance hii
ledger at the end of every three
months to know how he stands In ,
financial way.
Never borrow to keep up appear
ances. for then you are assuming an un
necessary obligation. Household bill
and personal expenses cause much hu
man suffering and many family quar-
rels.
Avoid extremes In living. Be gen
erous las generous as you CAM, get
ting as much pleasure as possible GU
of life and taking care that proper pre-
vision Is in some way made for tn
future.
Spendthrifts have false standar'
Of life. They emulate too much tn
habits of their friends and thei
neighbcrs who have more than they
and often spend their substance TO
unnecessary and harmful Injuries.
1t is no mean commentator to mai
age a small farm we'll. He is goo

"PIeased to Meet You"

The Americans have polite habit,
on being presented to a new acquaint-
ance, of uttering the words, PLEASED
to meet you," although upon what the
pleasure can rest, or how they know
that 1t is a pleasure, or why an ordi-
nary incident which is not the fulfill
ment of any anticipation, and which
may turn out to be very disagreeable
should be pronounced at sight to be

Duty as a Reformer.

There is no such reformer as an ex-
acting duty. Note the asceticism OF
athletes and scouts. The ravages OF
drink are abated as machinery, with
it's demand for a clear brain and
steady nerves, is multiplied on every
hand. Each new stress of business
and professional rivalry puts fresh
premium on sobriety and wise re-
straint.

Square Foot and Foot Square.

There is no difference in area be-
tween one square foot and one foot
square, though there may be differ
ence in the shape and dimensions of
the surfaces. For instance. one square
foot may be inclosed by circular
line, a hexagon, a triangle or rec
tangle. One foot square is an area
of fixed form, the four sides being
equal and the four angles all right
angles.

COLUMBUS, o., March 29.-Danger
from flood in Ohio has shifted today to
the Ohio river valley. Large sections
near IrOntOn and Portsmouth are inun-
dated. The Ohio il expected to rise
above seventy feet.
Governor Cox announces that relief
parties with emergency rations have
reached every flooded section. The prob
lem now is to supply clothing and shelf
er and to continue the food supply until
the survivors, have recstablished them
selves.
Search for bodies has begun in sub
merged houses on the west side. Calls
for food and clothing are coming from
unexpected parts Of the state.
Ohio still greatly needs help, accord
ing to a proclamation by Governor Cox
today, who asks that supplies be con-
signed to Colonel Miller, General Relief
Depot, Columbus, and funds to Colonel
Nj. l.. Wilson. treasurer of the relief
commission, Columbus.
The movement of relief trains to Day
ton. Ohio, was again halted today by the

ster last night received a message from
her aunt, Miss Matte Tanksley, Indian
apolis, stating that she was afe and that
conditions were improving.
Ed II. Howard has relatives at Sum

but owing TO the fact that the town is
located on the highest point between
Evansville, in the southwest corner, and
Fort Wayne i'll the northeast corner, it
has been in no danger from the high wa
tcrs. With the exception Of Mrs. Web
ster, so far as learned, no one here hav-
ing realtives in the flood has heard from
them. This probably arises from the
fact that the wires have been badly over
crowded and many were down.
