Cruelty to Ourselves

Most of our suferings are self-inhicted.
We are cruel to ourselves. We feather the
arrows of our enemies, and make the
wounds rankle, which otherwise they were
powerless to infct. We anticipate mis-
fortunes which never come. We brood
over injuries at which it would have been
far wiser to smile. We neglect or despise
the Joy which God otherwise would freely
give us.
We will not know the things which make
for our peace, and in things which we know
naturally, like brute beasts made to be
taken and destroyed, in these we corrupt
ourselves. All, how true, how true it is
that Heaven seems to be Everywhere if we,
would but enter it, and yet almost nowhere,
because so few of us can" Alas, my
brethren, all this might be otherwise but as
we ruin our body by excess and ignorance,
SO we ruin our minds by greed and care

The Game of Life

In nearly every game we can think of.
it is the goal that counts. Football, bas-
ketball, polo or any other game, particu-
larly our own national game-baseball are
all played with the goal as the end in view.
Every time the batter steps up to the bat
he has the home-run notion in his head.
That's his goal.
The real ball player who has the hungry
craving in his soul for the sport, keeps his
hand and eye in fine form by judicious
training, SO that when the opportunity to
hit with the bases full presents itself, he
will be in condition to deliver. He may
get chance to drive out home run and
win glorious victory, but surely when
such a crisis arises he cannot afford to miss
his chance and strike out.
1t is the same in the game of Life. If
you want to be a real success you must
first choose your calling in life, and prac-
tice faithfully until you become so prof.
cient that when an opportunity looms up
you can grasp it, conquer it and sail on to
victory.
Each man should consult and find out
what his goal is, and what is his progress
towards it. If you are then buoyed up
with prospects of success, persevere and
stick to it like man, in spite of all diff
culties. If you find that you have already
started for your goal and failed, jump into
the game again for harder struggle and
begin over. The writer of this article is
not by any means rainbow chaser, or one
who believes in the pursuit of the impos-
sible, but rather is one who believes in an
untiring battle for success.
First, if we expect to make a success in
this world, it seems very evident to us that
we must choose our goal, and then work
with brain and Drawn to reach it, just as
the home run hitter when he steps up to
bat, has in view the winning run.

Delusions Cluster About
Weather Signs

More decisions cluster about the SUBJ
ject of weather than almost any other in
the field of everyday discussion. Pro-
phecy touching the weather is an institu-
ton as old as history. Ability to foretell
storms and marked changes in tempera-
ture has always been deemed sign of wis
dom. But science cares not whit for the
thickness of skunk pelts or the tradition of
the "old fashioned winter" Science knows
these things are largely delusion, if not
snare, and is pitiless in its exposures.
Along comes DR.. Andrew H. Palmer,
of the government weather bureau, with
an article in the Popular Science Monthly
exposing score or more of the popular
misconceptions concerning the weather.
Neither the moon, the planets nor the stars
influence our weather. But sunspots very
probably do have such an influence, though
science has not yet been able to clear up
the relationship.
There is no apparent relation between
earthquakes and the weather, nor has the
presence or absence of forests any effect
upon weather further than possibly to in
fuence purely local conditions. Light
ming, instead of ''never striking twice in
the same place." is more likely than not
to strike repeatedly in the same place.
Lightning rods are real protection when
properly installed. Plain Deal

Laggard in School-Laggard in
Life

"Almost 80 per cent, of the pupils who
come out of the third or fourth grades at
the foot of their classes come out of high
school at the foo; of their classes" says
veteran teacher eff they enter college
they continue to be tail enders, and after
they pass into business life. it is assumed,
must go on as tail enders."
Being among the last in ones class tends
to become habit. The laggard at school
and in college is the laggard in life. He is
among the alsosrans in whatever realm of
life he enters; at least, that is what this
teacher believes. And no doubt she has
ample experience and observation to back
her opinion.
But almost any rule falls down if applied
too strictly. There are certainly plenty of
examples of successful business and profess
sional men who have never shone in scholar
ship at school.
Nevertheless, it is good doctrine to urge
that mental habits acquired or practiced in
schools are almost certain to stick to one
through life, that the boy who hasn't pride
and energy enough to get his lessons is not
likely to be more than mediocre success
in after life. And in general, it is true.

A Difference

1t is quite possible in this busy world for
possible for one to be held guilty of error
when, truth to tell, it is the ''accuser of
the brethren who is at fault Apropos
of which we wish to direct the attention of
rye editor of THE INDEX, Monroe,
Washington, to the fact that the heading
of a column does not always specify the
contents of the entire column.
For the benefit of our local aspirants
for poetic honors we have established
column under the caption of Budding
Poets. 1t so happens, however, that
there are times when Mnemosyne and her
daughters nine absent themselves from
our midst, and the poetic afflatus of our
embryonic Poe's, Lowelrs, Longfellow's,
etc., fails to vibrate, and we feel free to
select for copy the productions of
those who long since have passed the
budding" stage and who have Powered
into fame and Immortality. Hence, in
the January 18TH, number of THE MIRROR
we printed poem of Longfellow's, en-
titled, ''The Day Is Done,'' wherefore,
behold! we have stirred up a Tempest
in a teapot"
In our sublime faith in the mental en-
dowments and intellectual enlightenment
of people in general and editors in partic-
ular, we had thot that the usual printers
! symbol of division of subsequent from a
preceding article would suffice; but in as
much as our faith in universal intelligence
has received rude setback, it is possible
barely possible), that for the benefit of
those who have not basked beneath the
sunlit skies of learning we may in the flu
i ture affix parenthetical sub-heading to
each article specifying beyond cavil the
literary status of the author of same.
Selah.
we are glad that our esteemed contem-
porary did not accuse us of plagiarizing;
There have been times in the past that we
have been temporarily deceived by
would-be scribes who, being possessed
with a>greater desire for literary recogni-
ton than for justice and fair play, have
submitted and had printed over their
names poems or articles far superior to
anything they themselves were capable
of producing.
Such as these we not only do not court,
but in our effort to discourage such tend
encies andpractices, these plagiarists are,
as soon as discovered, summarily dis
missed from our contributing staff.

Keep Silent

One of the biggest real estate operators
in the country used 10 say: when | keep
quiet and listen to the other fellow talk,
always learn something. If a person talk
ing can't teach me anything, l don't listen
to him. If l want to talk, ! talk to myself
because know always have an intelligent
listener The man who knows how to
hold his tongue is power because he has
conquered himself. In France, since the
war, they have saying: ''Keep silent-be
careful! The enemy is listening!" Thus
they warn everyone that spies may be at
hand and what is said may be used later
against the country. This wartime pre-
caution is equally valuable in time of peace.
The loafer, the gadabout, the gossip-talk,
talk, talk. Talk is the cheapest commodi-
ty we have and the most dangerous. ST.
lence is golden. 1t is the rarest jewel, and
no imitation has ever been made which
nearly approaches its beauty

For mem'ry would know of the old
yesteryear.
Get ep! there old Dobbin, now take it
quite slow,
While we pass by the lanes of dreams
long ago.
o memory, o memory! you've left
sweet pain,
But, still tho some sorrow, love still
doth remain.
Once again in the church where the
choir sings sweet,
We kneel at the altar, His prayer we
repeat,
Arm in arm thru the aisle, hold this
fair scene,
With the belle of the town my bride
and my queen.
0 mem'ry! just linger, while on that
spot
Where dropped Dobbin's lines not
giving thot.
Old Dobbin, old Dobbin, you still
hold your worth,
For you round the hearth-stone
there's love apd there's mirth,
The love round the hearth-stone is
comfy and dear.
But still we would dream of the old
yester year.

Worth While

It's great to have a friend that's on
the square,
On whom you can depend, he'll give
and share,
When this old vice called fate gets you
on trial.
He is that precious friend, who is
worth while,
Who's always there to lend, 1--WE like
his style)
And spare the lucious date with self
denial.
His words when he is near, we know
ring true,
For he's been found sincere, he is true

To him in turn we lend, and give and
We find it worth the while, when he is
there,
To brace up with smile and knock
dull care,
It's great to have friend that's on

A Mother Heart

A wondrous thing is mothers heart
A temple of beauty rare;
Built of love, from realms above,
With cornerstone of prayer;
And could you unfold its walls of gold,
It's filled with tenderest care.
What blessing it is, shrine like this,
In world where care is rife;
When the heart oppressed may here find rest.
Away from troubled strife;
And here renewed, by hope imbued,
May start again in life.
A mothers love is golden link
That bridges the thinning air;
To that home on high, beyond the sky,
Where all is bright and fair,
For that which gives birth to the Joy of earth,
Unlocks the temples there.-G. L. Nc

The Great Unwhimpering

A little band of stern-eyed men
Is marching on with heads held high,
With broken swords, with hope struck low
With pride that fell before foe,
With neither tear nor sigh.
They are beaten; they are whipped
Of life's great throng, the rank and file
Who clutched at victory and lost,
Who grimly fought, but paid the cost;
Yet see the dauntless smile.
Tight is the grasp upon the hilt;
Bloody each face, but on thy wing
No banners float, no trumpets sound,
But to the heights their course is bound
The conquered conquering.
They knew the battle at its worst;
They felt defeats uphalowed sting:
But their immortal souls took flame
And made for them a victor name

The happiest nights

Are those when I've
No place to 60.
When the ''Boss'' says
When the day is through,
Tonight you haven't
A thing to do
o, the joy of it
And the peace untold,
Of setting around
In my slippers old,
With my pipe and a book
In my easy chair,
And the thought that |
Needn't go anywhere.
Must hurry
My evening meal
Not force the smiles
That do not feel,
But can grab a book
From a near by shelf,
And drop all sham
And be myself.
o, the charm of it
And the comfort ''rare;'
Nothing on earth
With it can compare;
And I'm sorry for him
Who doesn't know
The joy of having
No place to go.

Don't Wait

IT you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of friend-till he is dead?
If you hear song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song
Praise it, Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one that thrills your heart
Lack the JOY you may impart:
If you hear prayer that moves you
BY its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three in prayeri
If you see the hot tears falling
From sorrowing brothers. eyes,
Share them. And by sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh is ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans SAYING
For both grief and JOY place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
BY friendly helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you go;
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow;
So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.-Se.
