Chiseled on Marble

~ VERY reader knows. probably, that
in the very ancient days of Baby
A--S lonia and Assyria the writing was
done on stone and on terra Gotta tablets.
The writing was per1nanent-more So
It is to be feared, than that done today
with perishable ink on fragile paper.
John Jones real name concealed), mar
BILE cutter of New Jersey, may or may
not know about the ancient writings. The
present writer does not know.
But he does know that when John Jones
wanted to write an abusive. scurrilous
, letter TO another marble worker he took
in hand his chisel and hammer. which
should have been sacred to better things.
~nd carved the missive on marble. Then
ae hung it on the doorstep of his enemys
nome. 5Sg1
Result=-Johr Jones has been adjudged
insane.
Not many persons choose the method of
John Jones in writing matter unworthy
a9e the material on which 1t is inscribed.
But many others, not insane as he was,
cut their messages deeply and indeibly
on human hearts and minds. which are,
as Byron says, wax to receive and
marble to retain"
When you wound a heart which trusts
YOU
You are carving your record on mar
BILE.
When you speak harshiy to an innocent
child tt
Your words will be retained.
When you abuse your position OF trust
or authority to inflict wounds upon those
who are dependent upon you you are
using the chisel and maliet on living
/ flesh.
You are then as the one of whom Omar
Khayysm wrote:
The moving fineer writes; and. having
writ,
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure II back to cancel half line,
\ Nor all your tears wash out word of 1t.
There is nothing original in denounc-
Ing the careless word, spoken heedlessly.
Nor is there newness in asserting that
the written word should be scanned a
score of times before 1t Is sent on it's
mission.
"Litera scripta manet," said the Ro-
mans.

Asking Too Much

From Pearson Weekly.
On board a ship one day the cry went
up, "A man overheard" and the cap
tain gave orders to a new sailor, who
was an Irishman, to throw out two
buoys.
The sailor, seeing two boys walking on
the deck threw them overheard.
The captain. I'm a state of excitement,
declared that it was cork buoys he want
ed thrown overheard.
"Bedadr' said Pat, "how was OF to
know whether they came from Cork or
Tipperary?"

Philadelphia, November S--(Special)
While surgeons of the Methodist hospital
in this city. were amputating the feet
of John Guest. who was run over by
train at Bangor. Pa, his gold watch
was stolen from his pocket. When he re-
covered consciousness from the anesthetic
he missed the timepiece, and the loss
caused a hurried search. but nothing
could be found to explain the loss.

Do you share to remove the rocks.
Every one can do something, however
little, with voice or pen or arm, to plow
up the stones of ignorance and super
stition. Every one should have his pet
evil to attack-whether it be local, state
or national. Despite the progress of the
world the evils lie all around us. No
thinking man or woman needs to have
them pointed out.
The old proverh says. He that by the
plow would thrive himself must either
hold or drive"
And he that would prosper by the Inn
provement of the world through the re-
moval of the rocks of ignorance and SUI
perstition should do something to help in
the uplift.
Otherwise he stands to profit without
merit of his own.

fuel oil. Touching the redhot sides of
the volturno It would have ignited and
would have added frightfully to the peril.
Probably no one could have left the
ship at all, and the danger would have
spread to the surrounding fleet.
But it was lubricating oil of high ig-
milton point that was used.
That is the kind that is needed In still
Ing other storms than those of the sea-
lubricating oil of high ignition point--oil
of quiet and patience. oil that spreads
itself on the tops of the pillows and
brings peace. 1t must be of the sort
that will not burn readily.
Truly a man or woman given up to
wrath may be likened to a burning ship
with a cargo of precious goods and q
ship list of valuable lives in peril.
There is danger of total loss of ship
and contents unless the lubricating oil
of conciliation be used.
Imagine yourself speeding to the rescue
of such person. See that you get to
the scene OF distress in time, and when
you do. be generous, as was the Mar
ragansett in the case of the Volturno, in
pouring the oil of peace on the troubled
waves.

Scoring IN the East illustrates New
Order in Football

Boston. Mass. Nov. est is re-
garded as an index to the new order
of things in football that Harvard,
winner of the first place i'm the rating
of eastern teams this fall, has won this
honor without scoring a single touch
down i'm either of its two most import
ant games. Harvard defeated Yale
and Princeton by field goals entirely.
The absence of the touchdown play
is made still more remarkable by not
ing that Yale also made no touch
down against Harvard or Princeton,
and Princeton made none against Yale
or Harvard.
In this triangle Of major teams
twenty seven of the twenty nine
points scored were by goals from the
field, which Is n unique record in the
