THE VALUE OF PRoMPTNEss.

Dear Editor and Social Cornerites:
When the cry comes write: the ques-
ton arises: What shall wrftei 1t
reminds me of the nursery rhyme of
long, long ago: Sing. sing. what shall
sing! The cat ran away with the
pudding bag string
But first of all. I want to thank all
who sent me cards at Christmas and
many thanks to An Interested Reader
for the artistic calendar. The make
Somewhat different from the one
owned by Papa's Boy. AS I under
stand hers is a self feeder. Beat, that
if you can.
Now l shall sermonfze for a few
minutes But in all cases it is well
for one to practice what he breaches.
That is the great trouble of today.
Those who do sermo11iZe as a business
nine times out of ten their lives are
at variance with their thoughts and
teachings.
Punctuality is my theme Do we
realize how much havoc Is made by
delays. Some one said Delays are
dangerous" Promptness is one OF the
main roads to success. Promptness
in keeping appointments with dentists,
doctors and other men who measure
their time. Who have a regular rou-
tine laid out for the day and by one
person being an hour late or perhaps
by not putting in appearance at all
will upset everything. Some people
are very lax when it comes to this
suitine their own convenience; and
when they give an account how easily
they slip in a little lie to help them
out.
L was reading very helpful arti-
Gle some time ago on this subject.
Among other things it told that when
President Washington who dined at 4,
new members of congress who were
invited to dine at the White House
would sometimes arrive late, and quite
naturally would feel disturbed to find
the president at the table. My cook"
President Washington would say,
"does/no ask if the visitors have ar
rived, but if the hour has arrived"
Promptness in keeping ones aP-
pointInAnts is sure to be esteemed
as one of the cardinal virtues. Every
thing is so dependent on everything
else that if one is faulty as regards
time others are sure to be more or less
disturbed Take for instance en-
tering church or other asseRblages at
a late hour. Some one will surely be-
come confused. This brings to my
mind a clergyman I once knew in
Pennsylvania He was never on time.
He would start from his home on
mad run, take short cuts by alleys and
railroad tracks. One morning in his
haste he was almost run down by an
engine backing into a. lumber yard.
| This carelesSness grew on this man
until really it merged into forgetful-
ness. On one occasion L remember
quite well. He was To attend
funeral two hours after the time he
met me on the street and said What
do you think I have done.r
I hadn't the faintest idea what had
come over him.
He told me that he was to officiafe
at this funeral and had forgotten it
entirely / heard afterwards that the
people waited and waited and when

Seats for the minstrel show have

large and many good seats yet remain.
The New Daytona theater Is, happily,
so arranged that every seat is good
one. A good raise and no posts make
every space equally as good. Han
kins' is the place, where Volusia meets
Beach, and the tickets will remain on
sale there until 500 o'clock Thurs
day evening, when the sale will be
transferred to the theater. People
making reservations are requested to
call for their tickets as soon as pos
sible.
On Friday the New Daytona theater
will have a special film feature, which
together with special musical pro
gram by the Quality Four, professional
musicians, and two Keystone come
dies, will be winner. The ladies will
have charge of the receipts and 20
per cent. of the gross proceeds will go
to the "Save-a- Baby" fund. The cause
is a worthy one, and the show great
