A Poet Whom Byron Called Natures

Dante was a great traveller and the

line SO that it stays with you forever.
He uses the fewest possible numbered
words, hardly any adjectives, and the
picture leaps up before you, immortal

Crabbe? Nobody. And yet he is a

He writes about the poor as they
are, without sentimentality and with
out exaggeration, and as a painter Of
English landscape he still remains the

Restoring Rubber.

People using articles made Of rubber
that frequently lose their elasticity
through oxidation may restore the
material to its original condition by a

mixture Of one part OF ammonia to

particularly well adapted to the re-
storing of rubber bands, rings and
small tubing which are ready to be-

And Then BE Sure That You Are Sat.
isfiad With Yeurself.

iGfaeo WIN Yopreeifs
It IS not what people say about you
~ what you are that counts. The
one person in all this world whom you
should aim to satisfy is yourself. You
alone know yourself. Other people
know your outward appearance, your
actions. your deeds. You, and you
alone, know your motives. your ambi-
lions, your thoughts.
Are you satisfied with yourself2 n
is your own fault If you are not. Are
you satisfied that you are doing the
best you can in your work, that you
are making the most Of your timer
Are you confident that your conduct
toward your family, your friends, your
neighbors, your employer, cannot be
improved?
Look yourself straight In the face
this morning in your minds looking
glass. Ask yourself whether it is
what people say about you or what
you are that hurts. Analyze your own
conduct in all matters.
Put yourself In the other fellows
place and try to see your actions
through his eyes. Imagine that you
are your employer instead of yourself.
Answer honestly whether If he knew
as much about you as you know about
yourself he would discharge you or
would raise your wages. II you do
this conscientiously there are many
things you viii do differently.
Remember this. too other peoples
opinion Of you is based on your own
opinion Of yourself. Are you self re-
speeding? Other people will respect
you. Are you truthful? The world
win believe you. Are you honest? Mv-
cry one win trust you.
But weigh yourself frequently. Weigh
yourself carefully Be certain that
your own opinion OF yourself is justi-
fed Be satisfied with yourself. VII
