 The critics have attested their high
 opinion of it's value; 1t is worth read ing.
 Listen to a bit of wisdom from Mar GUS Aurelius:
 That which makes not man himself
 the worse cannot make his life the worse; neither can it hurt him either inwardly or outwardly. It was expedent in na- ture that 1t should be so and therefore necessary" Note the fine. high disregard of exter- | in the words. That which makes not
 man himself the worse cannot make his | life the worse.'
 The thing which really counts is the thing which makes man himself better or worse, not that which changes the circumstances of his life. If poverty
 beats upon you in vain or if riches come
 and fail to change the real, the inner you, you are living real life. You are numbered among those who i are akin to all that is highest and best
 in. the universe, to all that has been true
 and good since God breathed the breath
 of life into his creature-man. | Real riches lie in being, not in pos | sessing. Greatness of soul and heart and tranquility of life are to be found
 in observance of the spirit and letter
 of the dictip of Marcus Aurelius that | has been quoted.
 l He Is the father of many other wise
 sayings-for instance:
 "A man cannot anywhiteer retire bet
 ter than to his own soul; he especially
 who is beforehand provided of such
 things within, which whensoever he doth
 withdraw himself to look in. may pres-
 ently afford unto him perfect ease and tranquility

 Both glass and eye must be in good condition if anything worth while is to be seen.

LOCO AND LARKSPUR CAUSE
 GREAT LOSS TO STOCKMEN

Idaho stoclSmen will be interested in the following, regarding the danger of poisonous plants to animals While there Is not great quantity of loco weed in Idaho there is great deal of Iarksp,,r says a Boise special to the Saint Louis Globe Democrat.
 Dr. c. D. Marsh. who is now in the western states speaking before agricul- tural colleges and stockmens assemblies on poisonous plants, is of the opinion that the losses to stockmen from the poisoning are greater than from any other cause. Dr. Marsh is in charge of poisonous plant investigation of the Bureau of Plant Industry, and in CO., operation with tho forest service, has for several years been making a study of the different posonus plants on western ranges: their distribution, rel ative toxicity. symptoms and results of their poisoning. and remldies.
 Loco is reputed to have caused as great a loss as s1,0oo.OO0 annually to the stoclsmen of Colorado. Water hemlocs and death camas are even more violent ly poisonous, yet more rare. Although more moderate in It's effect larkspur, because of its greater abundance and longer seasonal growth. is considered more dangerous for cattle on the ranges than any other plant. Dr. Marsh states
 
 spur. and that horses although subject to its poisoning, do not eat 1t readily. The low larkspur grows generally about 1 foot and rarely 2 feet in height at elevations from 4000 to 5000 feet The tall larkspur is found at elevations of 5000 feet and higher, and grows to a height of from to feet and in Montana and California as high as Cor feet. The blossom is blue and "spurrcd" by which the plant is readily indentified With the leaf alone, 1t is sometimes confused with anconte or wild geranium. As preventives, Dr. Marsh recommends that cattle be kept off from areas where the tall larkspur abounds until after the plant has blossomed when its toxic prop critics. except in the seed disappear. The small larSspur is poisonous, however. during the netire period of its existence. He also recommends that when it is necessary for cattle to pass through such areas, they first be well filled up and then permitted to drift in small punches instead of being driven hurriedly: that small areas be eradicated. and larger ones killed out by frequent heavy sheep grazing.

it under subjection, obedient to his will It is good tool.
 But he does not take the pains to give for the highest development of its use fitness. As a result he dissipates his forces and loses his opportunity.
 It is an instance of placing the anti quated telescope to the seeing eye.
 Another man may have the opportunity of using the latest methods and the best books for his gain and the worlds profit With them, despite a comparatively in ferior mind, he may forge ahead if he will but apply himself diligently He fails to do so and provides another case of the up-to-date telescope raised to the blind eye.
 Despite critics and carpers, it seems to be certain that nowadays, as never be- fore. advantages and opportunities are offered to the person willing to make use of them. Education is widening its circle every day. The remotest regions are being brought under it's subjection.
 The mechanic may, if he will. learn the principles underlying his craft and thus make himself better workingman and set his feet in tho path of advance ment. The professional man and wom- an are aided by governmental and pri- vate advice and assistance.
 He or she who would advance has only to learn the secret of bringing together the seeing eye and the modern telescope The former may be developed by the possessor; the latter is offered in increas- ing measure by outside aid
 Sociologists are fertile source oi phrases.
 The social workers do much good Their But in the grist of good work which they turn out from the mill are mingled good many phrases. or ''catchwords."
 Some of these are chaff and worthless others are meaty and disgestible.
 Here is one of the latter class. which is gaining currency:
 "The business of the child is play"
 Which means, in plain English, that children must have proper places in which to play, on proper occasions.
 A modern playground is wonderful place to fogy. young or old. who has never before seen one. He is astonished at the regulated, organized. successful ac- tivities of the boys and girls.
 If he or she be a person of brains the sight of the children enjoying themselves In the sane, hearty manner under expert guidance, which regulates but does moi restrain, Is a revelation of good. 1t brings back. without regret, the olden days when boys and girls were left to their own re- sources, and play" often assumed heart less, thoughtless. even brutal forms. How much better Is the modern form of play roundings!
