JUST A NATTER OF DELAY.
/ made haste and delayed not TO keep
thx Commandment Psalms cxix. 60.

III htc
There is no more correct idea in life, may
we term il no more correct policy, than TO
live up to the program of doing a thing
when it should be done, and not letting
delay send things askew-
We have all heard it said that "procrast-
nation is the thief Of time" and that is
true. You have met that in your own ex-
fected the affair that you have had in
hand. The put-off habit is an unmitigated
evil, and wise is the man who puts to flghl
any desire on his part to procrastinate.
One of the worlds great battles is said
to have been lost because the expected
reinforcements were behind time in arrlv-
ing. It was delay which is declared to have
caused the lowering of the battle flag TO
getting on the job on time which counts.
If you are in the class of men or women
who delay you can count what this is cost
ing you, and the best thing you can do is
TO have stod still that there might be things
accomplished. But you need not expect
that the sun is going to make a business Of
standing still. Therefore get at things on
not tomorrow which counts in the plan of
salvation, and in the material things of
life

Direct Examination at Hour Of
Adjournment.

Testimony for the defense will be
resumed Monday before Justice Sid
dons and a jury at the trial of John
William Henry. former head of the de-
funct brokerage firm of Lewis Johnson
& Co, charged with the embezzlement
of checks representing SAL. 900 sent to
the firm for investment in stocks by
Mrs. Isabel Barklie Of Wayne, Pa. The
evidence to be offered is expected to
deal with the previous good reputation
of the accused. and to show that the
checks really mingled with the assets
of the brokerage firm.
Edward Waller, former receiving tel
Ter for Lewis Johnson & Co., and now
a clerk of the Federal Reserve Bank at
Richmond. was the first witness for the
defense The hour of adjournment was
reached yesterday before former Judge
ination of the witness. Mr.. Waller will
resume the stand Monday morning.
The witness declared he had served
as receiving teller between the years
1912 and 1914, the period when the Bar X
lie checks were received. In that in
tervaI, he stated, Henry had deposited
through his window more than $4,000,
all of which went to the credit or the
firm. The witness asserted that the ac-
count of Henry marked on the BOOKS
of the firm as special was not the
7ording to Mr.. Waller. the personal ac-
count of Henry was so designated on
the companys books. and that this ac-
count showed a credit balance in favor
OF Henry of more than $1.100 at the
time of the failure last November.

Melancholy Days

The melancholy days have
come, the saddest OF the year,
when you, determined to be glum,
produce the flowing tear, when
YOU refuse to see the joys sur
rounding every gent, and thus
discourage other boys, and stir up
discomfort. A crouch will travel
far and long before its work is
done; and it will queer the hope
full song, and spoil all kinds OF
fun. Men start downtown with
buovant tread. and things seem
on the boom then you come forth
with blistered head. and fill them
up with gloom. There'd be no
melancholy days, our lives would
all be fair, if it were not for sore
head JAYS who always preach de-
spair. We'd shake off every kind
OF grief, if Jonah didn't come, the
pessimist who holds brief for all
things on the bum. So. if you
really cannot rise above the sob
and wall, and see the azure in the
skies. and hear the nightingale.
let some dark cave be your abode,
where men can't hear you howl,
and let YOUR comrades be the
toad, the raven and the owl.

SCHOOL TEACHER BRIDES
MAY BE FEW THIS YEAR
Number Of Contemplated Marriages
Likely to Be Postponed Until
Courts Pass on "Rule 45."

Now comes the season for the school
teacher bride. For years the closing
Of the public schools has marked the
number. Of marriages which always
left number Of vacancies In the corps
of the teaching force.
But will this happen this year? So
far the school officials have heard of
only one or two byides-to-be from the
teaching ranks. Most of the resigna-
tfons usually come after the last day
OF school, however. SO that 1t is not
known definitely whether Dan Cupid is
planning to diminish the ranks as
much as is his wont.
There is reason this year to believe
that a number Of marriages may be
postponed. The reason is rule 45-the
rule which automatically releases from
service female teacher who marries.
Just now the rule is before the courts
of the District to determine whether 1t
Is legal. If it be decided that the
board of education has no right to en-
force such a regulation. then the rule
must go. and woman teachers may
marry and yet retain their positions.
Therefore 1t is possible that some of
the woman teachers who are contem-
plating marriage may be waiting for
while to learn the courts decision
before announcing that they have sur
rendered to the little winged archer
On the other hand. it is believed by
many that few teachers would remain
in the school system after marriage,
even though they would be allowed to
do so. So it seems that only conjec-
h< do 49,
of teacher brides this season until we'll
after the close of school and after the
courts reach a decision on the now
famous rule 40.
