Good Philosophy in Verse

Do good to every man,
And from the heart let noble impulse flow
To all the world.
Think kindly thoughts of everything
And they will fill the atmosphere of life
With lofty dreams of hope and harmony.
Do noble deeds for Justice and for right;
Deeds that will help some fellow-man.
A wayfarer like thee;
Then will they cast reflection of their kind
Upon thy soul.
From out whose light shall rise
The Throne of Peace,
And fill with broadening Love
Each thonght, each word, each deed,
Then hast thou aided in the Masters plan,
And helped with earnest hands
In building up the structure of all life,
And bringing now to view
In all its true proportions here
The temple of Gods Love. -Anon.

Not Trained to Work

Work is looked upon by too many not
only as burden but misfortune. Ease, if
not ideness, is the goal where, in their esti-
nation, happiness and contentment sit en-
throned. The rich are often envied by
those in the humber walk of life. To
keep abreast at least in appearance with the
wealthy, secret sacrifices and stinting of the
necessaries of life are pfactised by too
many. They might enjoy comfort in a
cottage, but they want a mansion. The
mansion may contain a closet with its pro-
verbal skeleton, but that is kept as family
secret. The members know, if they do not
sing, that "there is no place like home.''
If there were more common sense and
more sensible pride, there would not be SO
much aping in society. Work is no dis
grace. There are many of the wealthy
who work hard, and are sensible enough to
realize that it is the spice of enjoyment.
They know that crest after labor is sweet
The parents who labor and trudge day
in and day out, without requiring co-opera-
ton from the children able to help in the
battle of life, instead of doing kindness
to their offsprings are guilty of cruelty by
uniting them to bear their share of life's
necessary burdens. The parlor and piano
are all right in their place, but the wash
tub and the kitchen are necessities. These
necessities should not be sacrificed for those
accomplishments that grace the drawing
room.
The street corners, the billiard rooms
and the saloons may be good posing places,
but they do not tend to develop habits of
industry and thrift in tine rising generation.
Has sensible man ever been seen to visit
the abodes of people attacked with some
violent pestilence, with the intention of
amusing and diverting himself? Who, then,
can doubt that bad books carry with them
pestilenee equally real.-The Castle.

Another Ball Game

Encouraged by our mild brand of Dec
ember weather, a number of our hardy
young men perpetrated baseball game on
the local diamond last Saturday p. m.
The M. S. Ps. were there and toyed with
their opponents--the Black Diamonds head
ed by Mistah "Brad." The colored con-
tingent, playing together for the first time,
had some difficulty in getting started
seemed to get their signals crossed. And
after they got started they found it too late
to catch up with the flying NJ. S. Ps., who
romped around the bases in regular pro-
cession. After couple of hours of-vain
effort to catch up, the Black Diamonds had
enough and Umpire Rutherford called the
game. Score by innings:
Black Diamonds 0 0 o.

The Boy Who Forgets

love the boy who forgets!
Does it seen such a queer thing to say
Can't help it; he's one of my bets;
Delightful at work or at play.
I'd trust him with all that l own,
And know neither worries nor frets;
But the secret of this lies alone
In the things that the laddie forgets.
He always forgets to pay back
The boy who has done him an i'll;
Forgets that grudge he owes Jack,
And smiles at him pleasantly still.
He always forgets tits his turn
To choose what the other shall play;
Forgets about others to learn
The gossipy things that "they say.
He forgets to look sulky and cross
When things are not going his way;
Forgets some ones gain is his loss;
Forgets in his work-time, his play.
So this is why take his part;
Why say he is one of my pets;
| repeat it, with all of my heart:
love him for what he forgets!

Early American
Architecture
CONTINUED from page one)-

up. 1t all depends upon the limit of each
mans desire, what he desires and what he
will do without. Within the last decade or
SO there has been a widespread revival of
immense upspringing of individual delight
in home construction. Our architects are
practically turning their backs on Europe.
Not en- her history and tradition and in
spiration, but on the desire to produce in
dividual models Of European architecture
in America. They are studying our own
landscape. North, South, East and West.
They are building to suit it, and they are
building houses out of materials that are in-
innate to the landscape. Although the
Wooden house is no longer built in the
city, or in any community where the hous-
es are closely established, wood is, never
theless, a much valued and beautiful ma
terial for houses in large open spaces. And
no doubt that the time will come when the
material will be so handled by that mys-
terious agency known as hreproofing, that
we shall see beautiful wooden houses again
in our cities.
There is now growing purpose toward
beauty, but this each man must express in
his own way. The same is true of house
designing, so there seems no end to the
variety of homes that may be produced.
But, feel too, that through all of this de-
velopment we will see connecting link,
a fundamental thought, and that the ex-
preston of that thought will produce, to a
certain extent, a style of architecture de-
sized among the people for a richer and
more comprehensive scheme of living. The
true spirit of an intelligent, cultivated COM
munity.
The architect is, in most intimate
sense, the historian of his time, an almost
unconscious record of the very spirit of
nations, and his record has permanence
in the world. Even the marvellous litera-
ture of Greece is not as much to us to-day
as her architects, the influence of which, in
a hundred forms, is seen whichever way
we turn. And so it will be with the
architect of to-day century or two hence.
They will tell Our grandchildren what man
her of folks we were, and our grandchil
dren will laugh or weep ~ the story.

Be Sure You're Right, Then
Go Ahead

A pioneer in early days, who disregarded
painted praise, whose step was sure, whose
heart beat true, who only did what men
could do, whose principles were never
base, who looked the whole world in the
face, who filled the bill as brave hearts
can, from head to heel noble man, priced
a motto whose typing read: ''be sure you're
right, then 60 ahead
On rocky slope and desert plain, by
deep ravine flushed full with rain, on crag
and peak where eagles scream, by foaming
ford and seething stream, he harbored
bravely in his breast the perfect principle
expressed, thoughts which fulfilled create a
name and executed merit fame, ideas which
all his passions fed, "be sure you're right,
then 60 ahead'
And glory claimed him as her own, for
he achieved what few have known. Through
natures painless waste he'd press, con-
quering the rugged wilderness, with none
to counsel or command, he cut trail across
the land. To honor's creed declared de-
vout, he mastered every mystic doubt.
Vile SANDERS prattle scorned to hear; the
lowering, misty form of fear aloof from his
pale pathway kept, and every cavern, cave
and cleft blazed brilliant with the lines
which read: "be sure your re right, then GO
ahead"
So when Won re Duzzled what to do
when others speak harsh words to you,
when by your side there is no friend, a
kindly helping hand to lend, and when the
world grits 'gainst the grain, and you be-
lieve no charms remain, and you re unnerv-
ed with fuss and fret, hope, my lad, you
won't forget the words that Davy Crockett
said: "be sure you re right, then 60 ahead. -

Shadows

You and and the rest of US,
Who are grey and gaunt with years gone by.
We too have dreams as the dusk comes on,
When shadows of night time hover nigh.
We tread again the silent trail,
That leads to days of long ago,
And victories won in the spring of life
Appear in the fickering fires glow.
Far into the night we sit and dream
And in fancy chat with those we miss,
While Ghosts of the Youth that once was
ours
Come, one by one, for their goodnight kiss.

Be a Man

It's a mighty good thing, while you're run
ming life's race
Just to pause, as you 60, and to come face
to face
With your conscience, and ask it a question
or two;
For it's right you should know what your
life means to you.
Have you done things worth while, have
you drifted along,
Have you filled it with sighs, have you FL
led it with song,
Have you helped when you should, have
you tried to do right,
Have you struggled for good. or just fought
for might?
Have you given your hand to some fellow
in need,
Have you sneered at the man who was not
of your creed,
do,
Have you tried to be just, have you tried to
be true?
In your judgment of men, have you been al
ways fair,
Have you learned to forgive in the face of
despair,
Have you fought against greed, or sue
rumhed IN its Inst
Have you learned what it means to protect
and to trust?
Oh, it's easy to preach and it's easy to tell
Of the other chaps faults-but our own
faults, ah, well!
We are towards at times, and the truth,
you will find,
Is thing we dislike, for it's rather unkind.
But the Past, let it rest. Give thought of
Today;
And Tomorrow, as well, for the Times
growing gray;
Do the things that you should, do the best
that you can,
Crown your life with your deeds-be red
blooded man!
