necessary to do something to
pass away the time it is evid-
ent that for the individual so
situated time does not pass
rapidly enough. In other
words, there is time in which
nothing interesting can be
found to do.
Just think Of it. Human life
is limited to a few years. All
around us are things to do and
things to learn. There is the
daily work for the daily bread,
a matter which, for most of us,
uses mp a large part of the
time. Aud. when the neces-
stiles are provided for. there is
a whole great universe to stu
dy, a million facts to learn
about the how and why of
things. how things came to be
as they are and into what they
may grow. There r the
thoughts of great minds to en-
tighten us. the wisdom of the
philosopher. the lore of the
scientist. the imagery of the
poet, the scinitilating flashes
of the wit and the studies of
humanity by the novelist.
There are friends to commune
with and places to visit, and
the bounding, pulsing life
that is all around us to get in
to touch with. There is work,
and study, and sport. and acti-
witty of all kinds so abundant
that the greatest mind and
the keenest intellect and the
soundest body are inadequate
to the task of doing more than
touch the very edges of these
things. And yet there are
those who find it difficult to
pass away the time. It is in
comprehensive. -Minot X e.

A PRETTY THING TO DO

n Xxi 1 lf1lI<\I ~ ~
PRESIDENT WILSON, it is said,
is thinking of appointing form.
er Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky as a member of the Lin
coin memorial commission to
succeed the late Senator Gull
lom, says the Devils Lake
journal.
Senator Blackburn is a on
feredate veteran. His armed
hand was raised against the
government of which Lincoln
was the head. Yet now it is
proposed to make him a mem
Der of a commission which has
charge of the erection of a 40
ole monument to the memory
IF him who saved the republic
Joe Blackburn sought to divide.
How about it?
The Cincinnati Times-Star
says: The appointment would
oe most appropriate. Through
out the Civil war Lincoln acted
IN the theory that the south
was a part of this republic and
that it's citizens were his
brothers. He fought not as an
aggressor, but in defense of a
principle.' And so did Joe
blackburn: though it was the
wrong principle and the losing
principle.
And from the extreme south
comes this from the New Or
leans State: The war is over
IN its fullest sense, and the
designation of Senator Black
burn as a member of the Lin
coin memorial commission
would put the final seal on a
closed book of history. We be.
;ievc that the spirit of the man
whom the memorial honOrs
would give approval of this ap-
CONTINENT
Who can doubt it: Lincoln
would be the last ma to hold
a grudge. Had he been spar
I'd the attack of a mad south.
erner, the nation would have
heen spared the horrors of re
construction. The war would
have been over in truth a
generation before it actually
was over.
But it is over now, in deed
and in truth. The selection of
an ex-Confederate as an assoc
late of those who in behalf of a
united nation are honoring the
man who reunited it would be
ideally admirable; and his is a
nean spirit indeed who would
cavil at it.

You Don't Yawn When Sleepy.

A good, wide, open-mouthed yawn is
a splendid thing for the whole body,
says a hygienist A yawn is natures
demand for rest. Some people think
they yawn only because they are
sleepy. But this is not so. You yawn
because you are tired. You may be
sleepy also, but that is not the real
cause of your yawning. You are
sleepy because you are tired, and you
yawn because you are tired. When.
ever you feel like yawning, Just yawn.
Don't try to suppress it. And, if you
are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn, just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way of
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Indeed, if you are very tired but do
not feel like yawning, there is moth
ing else that will rest you so quickly
as to sit on straight-backed chair,
and, lifting the feet from the floor,
push them out in front of you as far
as possible, stretching the arms, put.
ting the head back, opening the
mouth wide, and making yourself
yawn. Those tense nerves will relax,
the contracted muscles will stretch
and the whole body will be rested.

HaIf-Done Work.

There is an old story of a miser
who had hidden his great treasure I'M
der large bowlder. The secret was
discovered by two blacksmiths. each
of whom determined to secure the
wealth, and set about preparing crow.
bars to pry up the rock The one was
in such haste that he did his work
carelessly. and though he was first on
the spot his poor tool snapped, and
he could not accomplish his purpose.
While he fastened back to his shop
to repair the damage the second
smith, who had made ready more care
fully, came with his strong bar and
carried off the treasure. Half-done
work defeats its own ends, and the
success for which one is not ready Ia
not ready for him
