THE MAN WHO TALKS

Those t0 whom l1KG Aa& pSt5tAS burden do not realize they have over loaded themselves Most people who live in an atmosphere of depression ought to be ashamed of themselves There Is no real reason why any human being should be disgustea another life. 1t has been well saiai that which renders life burdensorne te us, generally arises from aBsse or It" Nc person in perfect health can be demure. Health thrills the human soul as music pleases the ear, 1t is doubtful if there was ever grouch who was not the victim of torpsd liver. Our world takes on color from us Blue Is a fine sky-coler, put IL will not do for the heart. Good Dges- Orderly thought and conduct produce pleasure and irresularity and excesses produce pain. Afniction Is not the child of Divine order. but the onsprnE of human disorder This Isn't dull world-it glows with beautyi There are dull people in it; and there are people heaven cannot delight.
 No enc can behold real baseball fan without realizing it is a good thing to have your enthusiasm under com plete control. There is no more sense in emotionally going to pieces every fifteen minutes, than there ia in @l puppy's wearing himself out shaking rag, or cats making herself d1xxy chasing her tail. Enthusiasm fills a great place in the worlds affairs-no great thing Is ever accomplished with out 1t; but 1t never made foolishness have a face like wisdom. Enthusiasm sin the mighty -tfghty" stage looks so much like 1unacy that 1t cannot be dis tin8utshed from it. Enthusiasm run wild produces mysteries. The zeal of youth is excusable, but it Is a misfit flor old age. There Is quiet enthu- siasm which is a credit to dignity and nobility, and this is properly desig- mated as tthe genius of sincerity.
 It is the loud, uncouth, weak and frothy sort which excites disgust be- cause it is productive of no good thing. E It is better to have some folks con- fdemn than to praise us. For instance, it sounds queer to hear a rogue pra1s- ing the policemen, clergyman com mending an infidel or an undertaken booming a doctor. Such praise as this may be perfectly honest, but it never fails to create an atmosphere or suspi- cion. Where sulfishness enters into commendation confidence Is usually knocked out It is better to have ones works praise him than to have friend; and what is more whitening than the praise of a. foe Those who fish for compliments are often surprised at what they get on their hook Fa1nt praise is generous condemnation. Most i.praise Is a good thing to be excused from: and most fiattery is an offence Ito the sensible. Praise and desert are companions and they often get sep erated; but desert never gets lost. To be greedy for praise is to banker for something. you do not deserve
 Some people do not think being confronted with one's self would be at all embarrassing because they do not give the matter thought. How do you l suppose any one would feel who was shown what he intended to do in life | contrasted with what he actually did. If hell is paved with good intentions, | as we have been told it is. everybody must have contributed a few of the | paving stones. We realize what 1t would be nice to do and then go and l do something else, and our neighbors | do likewise. The true spirit of love
 gets knocked out oftener than any, ! thing else. Just as soon as we begin to wonder what folks would say the brake is on our good deeds. We are l all of us more famous for doing what should. More poor excuses have been
 made for not doing good things in this i world than for anything else. We never desire to see how poor excuse
 looks. That wouldn't be pleasant.
 ] he fellow Wno oees not tfkS his | job ought to know it is more than like l ly his job doesn't fit him. If he has Initiative he throws the job donwn and builds himself up. If he hasn't dis \ cernment he whines and frets and | sweats-chafes and swears and takes
 the same old pay envelope until he be- comes incapacitated. It doesn't pay a shoemaker to stick to his last unless he is & true shoemaker. Every one inter I est lies in doing whatever he is em- | ployed to do we'll You were not de- i signed to struggle with what you caa't do; but with what you can. If Grover l Cleveland had not been a good clerk for $50 a year. he would not have been | & good president at $25.000 a year Dissatisfied workmen never make good If you Know you are a square pc gir round hole refuse to abide it. You
 act on the square. This is what will
 make things right for you.
 It seems to me what you store ir your mind is of more value than what
 you deposit in the bank. When the
 mind Is right the body can smile il the bank goes to smash. A weli-stored mind has been known to wrest a les d son of great value from disaster. Car I you recognize that precious metals dc
 not compare with precious thoughts
 A precept is often of more value thar I
 bow down-mind prepares a man ts stand against thousand foes; money buys the raw material but mind de-
 signs and works it into objects of art
 and usefulness. The money and ths
 banks are the products of mind Mind
 preceded the creation of the universe
 while money came tardily along tt
 make an end of barter and facilitate
 trade. Money has been the enslav el of man while the precepts of the mini
 have led them to freedom and sup
 ported them in it. The wisdom ot
 Solomon was shown when he said
 with all thy gettings get understand.
