THE MAN WHO TALKS

The whining habit is one of the worst If there Aever was a real bore it is any person who gets the inn pression that their lot Is deplerable. These are people who are totally ig E norant of the fact that they are creat- ors of their own miserable eonditi Ions. Those who are bern lew have a better chance to. ciimb.-these who are born
 high are h % %most peril of falling. Ii 6aa make them different. The live
 man is improving his conditions fun
 the cradle tes the grave. When Oondi-
 tions halt you. it is net tAe fhult of
 the conditions. but of the one who

 ing, but store it up for fighting. Every
 body in this world has a fighting
 chance. and battling spirit is neces-

 that the people of the world are spend

 places of entertainment which do truly
 educate in wonderful ways, if their evil influence has been cried out against,

The past of this old world is in haze and the men of the past have tried to cover it with darkness; but so long as nature tells her own story and there are men who can interpret her signs and symbology there will be 44,000,0 900 years difference in the opinons of men whether the world was wrought out as an abode for man, or madeup like snowball and tossed into space to immediately find it's place and take on it's pace. Men are that far apart in their calculations about other things. We can differ without snarling at one another.
