81 should Think" People.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

! Wisdom is supposed to be a difficult
thing to acquire and we often told

short cut to the possession Of it; and yet
there IS a certain class of people in the
world who seem to have become wond-
derfully wise without any appreciable
effort.
In some strange mysterious way such
people seem to know far more about your
affairs and the best way to manage them.
no matter how complicated they may
seem TO you, than you do yourself.

miraculously wise though they are, they

ON TIE SPUR
OF The AOMENT
BY ROY X. MOULTON.

Fat.
When any feller's fat
1 want to tell you that
He gets much good advice
That's free and without price.
Ard every friend he knows
Speaks of his adipose
In terms that are sarcastic
And mentions cures most drastic.
They tell him he will croak;
That it's no idle joke
If he does not get wise
And go and exercise.
He starts in right away
But when he skips a day
He finds that he weighs more
Than e'er he did before.
He frazZles in the heat;
His misery's complete.
When good old-fashioned summer
Puts him right on the hummer
Folks look at him askance
And don't grant him a chance
To live more than year;
And then they shed tear,
And say: "Goodby, dear one,
You're too fat by a ton
But still in spite of that
The people who are fat
Live on.

gets rid of his counterfeit money,
helps with the baggage, changes the
trolleys, gets out and fights with the
coal wagon drivers, turns the seats
at the end of the line, sweeps off the
back platform, lends chewing tobacco
to the motorman. answers 20 questions
every minute, keeps an eye out for
pickpockets and takes the blame for
everything that has happened from the
San Francisco earthquake to the re-
vision of the tariff. After performing
these harmless little stunts for
twelve hours he has nothing to do till
tomorrow.
The popular and genial editor of
the Pewamo News doesn't go in
much for motoring, but uses instead
1913 model mule which is a self
starter and never suffers any tire
trouble. But perhaps it is better to
let him tell about it in his own pc
cuIiar style: ION couple of recent
occasions the editor of this paper has
driven over to the neighboring village
of Lyons, the means of transporta-
ton being u mule hitched to a buggy.
Some of the boys along the road have
attempted a little fun at our expense, !
but their quips and gibes have fallen
on barren ground. We are not
ashamed to drive a mule to Lyons or
to any other old place, but we object
to the farmers 'houn dawg, which !
chased us for two miles in the belief |
that we were holding the reins over |
a long cared jackrabbit.'
There is a man in our town who is |
as mad as a hornet and is calling |

ductor came through again, the man

FEAR.

Was anything ever done by one who
was afraid? asks John A. Sleicher, in
Leslies, and he continues:
Would Columbus have made his
discovery of the New World if he had
been burdened with dark forebodings?
Would the gospel ever have been
preached to the remotest parts of the
world if the missionary had feared his
mission?
Would there has been a United
States if the signers of the Declaration
Of Independence had feared for their
lives, as we'll they might?
Would the railroads have crossed
the continent and pierced the desert,
and would our captains of industry
have had the courage of their convic-
tions. in building our industries-the
wonder of the world for size, output
and wages-if they had been timid
while risking millions?
Was a battle ever won by a general
who feared? Was ever a great cause
INDICATED by one without a strong
heart and undying hope? Was ever a
prize secured by competitor who did
rot enter the race believing he must
and would win?
Is anything more contemplate than
cowardice? Is anything more noble
than courage? Is anything more
childish than fear, or anything sweet
or than confidence in an age of unrest,
unreason, suspicion and disturbance?
Let US turn from the dismal
swamps and lift up our eyes to the
Mills. Let hope inspire and courage
strengthen and the battle will be won.
This is the lesson to teach the chill
Gren in our schools. to tell to the
patient toiler at his work. to speak TO
the anxious business man at his desk
to impress upon the preacher in his
pulpit and the counsel in the hall of
legislation.
