Discomfort NOT ALL GOOD
True That II Has Its Uses, but There
Are Other Things to Be
Considered.

1t is perhaps true that some writer's
and teachers have over-emphasized the
gospel OF. contentment with our lot. 1t
is not always well to be contented with
our lot. Advancement in every line has
been made by people who were dis
contented with their present oppor-
tunities and broke through to some
thing higher. But, even allowing this,
it is undeniably true that there is
vast amount of unholy and wasteful
discomfort. We are apt to think pref
ty constantly how much more and how
much better we would do if circum-
stances were different. While history
presents many cases of people who
broke away from humble task 70 force
their way to something higher, it is
fuller Of instances in which man or
woman, by doing with patient faith
fulness an insignificant task, has been
celled to greater things.
The answer to the problem is the
old rule of living hy the minute. 1t is

Tapping huge ears. 1t shuf1ed past,

horsemen cantered by, tin armor blaz-

In 'tHa ha" fashion, you are frank IL
a man and inconstant and incapable
of keeping a secret if woman. II
you laugh "Reh, heh," you are neu-

If you adopt deeper tone and laugh
in "Ho, hos" you are generous, easy
going and good-natured. The proper
pitch for the fair sex to laugh in Is
He, he," while people who laugh
with a Hoo, hoo" effect should be
avoided as hypocritical, scandaI-mon-
