On IdlencSS

a BOUT the most unhappy man on earth is
a the man with nothing to do. An oc-
togenarian. head of piano firm, was asked
why he pcrsistently reported for duty each
day, when he had million dollars; why he
didn't get out and give younger men chance
because" he said, that day when become
inactive. die" How many men are there
in business to-day who cinging to the
grind for that very reason?
There is no curse greater than idleness
The man with nothing to do is lonesome
The world is too busy, there are too few
idlers TO make pleasant party Those with
whom a man with nothing could do might
associate, are not, to him, worth assocating
with.
The one thing that keeps this old world
sane is occupation II would be interesting
to collect statistics Of all tho suicides and men
and women gone daft, and ascertain if il is
not true that vast ma jority of them were
idlers. 1t is at least probable, for in solitude
there is selfanalysis and decentralization
In idleness there is introspcction that searches
out ones weakness, and. If he be OF that type
tempts him to destruction.
Does your hoy, your girl seek solitude; do
your children go away by themselves, or do
they join other children in play outside their
study hours, running. leaping, laughing
singing. shouting and going to bed with a
healthful WEAKNESS that means drcamless
sleep? Don't let that child get into the ha bit
OF being alone without occupation 1t is
only little thing now, but o-morrow it may
be a calamity.
1t is better for man to work with pick
and shovel in the street than to sit alone
in the Iders Club.

One of the little white lie" haracteristics
of the average Southerner is brought TO light

reported that of the most prominent

recently, expressed the conviction that nearly
every man She met in the South was in favor
of woman's suffrage. Tho which shows the un-
