The Mouth

The mouth is tool of the brain and
stomach but like the tail it sometimes wags
the dog.
There are mouths shorn, set and repug-
nant. There are mouths fresh, blooming
and inviting. There are mouths made
beautiful with patience and kindness. There
are mouths made hypocritical with smiling.
There are mouths concealed by crops OF
whskers. There are mouths decorated with
condensed extracts of climax plug. There
are mouths that are silent, determined and
serious. There mouths like Tennyson's S
brook, that babble on forever.
We arise in the morning determined to
keep that mouth under paddock and key.
Ere the day closes we confide in some friend,
who has other friends in whom to con6Ie
and an endless chain begins. We speak
words of praises and end with the word
''but," following which Usually occurs
something that better never be said.
We discuss our neighbors and wind up with
the ever prevalent "but." We resolve to
utter no serious word regarding our busi-
ness or labor and stralghtwav break the
resolution, only to regret. We uselesslv
and vainly talk, always boast and bragg. and
end in a rag-chewing match or wager,
either of which make fools of men. We
speak sarcasticaIly only to learn that men
remember.
NJ IN talk too much. They lose their
equilibrium and say things that never can
be recalled and are never forgotten. The less
man says the less he must account for. II
men and women could control their mouths,
there would be less quarrels, less fights, less
crime. less divorces, and husbands and
wives and children and neighbors would be
happier. Life would be more worth living.

Only the Best

The farmer boy was cutting up potatoes
for planting. They were big, perfect tubers
that called forth tn. admiration of the visit
ing city cousin who watched the operation.
''It seems pity to cut up such splendid
potatoes just to plant" the city boy com
mented. ''Just think how many good meals
they would make. Wouldn't the little
potatoes do for planting?" The farmer boy
shook his head as he carved another care
fully into half dozen pieces, an EYE in
each piece.
"Not bit of it, greenhorn. he laughed.
eff you want a good crop you must plant
good seed. If we plant little ones for two
or three years, we d have little ones after
awhile" he said.
The rule applies to all crops. Only the
best will produce the best, Seedmen make
great efforts to select the best of each year S
crop fof seed for the next seasons plant
ing. Oaly the best is good enough to bear
their trade mark and uphold their reputation.
In living. as in planting. one must deal
only in the best things if he would make of
life thing worth while. .-Oap1rd.

Do Something for Others

"Ma any a soul in the battle Of life
Trembles with fear at the din and the strife,
Bearing alone, amid trial and care,
Burdens and SORROWS God bids you to share.
"Many in doub, or in fear of the way,
Mutely appeal fer your guidance today;
On your demeanor the choice may depend
Are you concerned for the stranger or friend
"Many disheartened by cruel deceit,
Broken and worn by the pangs of defeat,
Doubling, despairingly help!es>ly stand,
Waiting, perhaps, for your Strengthening
hand.
"Many are turning away from the right,
Into the maze of the shadows of night;
Go to them, speak to them, over them pray,
Help them. support them-do something

Live to Learn"

There is much in the saying, "We live
to learn Some live to learn much. some
live long and learn little. Much learning
may be had from books, more from men.
Could man at twenty have the knowledge
he had to live forty years to gain, what a
wonderful career he could shape for himself.
Do you know that there is nothing with
in the range of possibilities that man can
not achieve if he will?
The knowledge a man of forty can be
yours at twenty, if you but learn.
Learn to know tina, right will prevail.
Look about you, observe the men who
spent thirty, forty and fifty years in learn
ing that is now too late. Ask some of them
to tell you of the things they learned tha,
you, who are twenty. may also learn.
Every man has his own destiny within him.
self. The thing sane man can conceive
of, that thing he can do.
The power to accomplish lies with him.
self.
The fact that he can conceive himself
doing it is positive proof OF his ability.
Live as nature directs. Every act against
nature has its retributive sequence,
If you muddle your brain with whiskey
you are going against nature. If you are a
drug hend and continue to remain so, soon
you will be an mbecile.
Tha, is the price you pay nature. Nature
always demands and receives payment for
trans yression against her laws. 1t is natural
TO be honest; natures laws are honest; obey
them and you prosper; ignore them and
YOU fail. "Honesty is the best policy; just
as it reads; no other way can be understood.
Can you realize the advantage you have if
you are honesti When thieves need a
treasurer they seek an honest man.
Everv man wants a certain amount of this
worlds goods and may have no scruples as
to the means employed in getting them.
Men do not realize until TOO late tha,
there are other things to be- had, more pre-
cious than money. The respect of your
fellow men, the satisfaction of having
striven honestly to achieve your purpose
and the contentment that is yours through
the knowledge, that you have done unto
men as you would have them do unto you;
these are the things that count. When you
take leave from here to get new grip on
yourself, remember some of the things you
learned while here Know that you cannot
change the reason of things to suit your
own purpose. According to the laws of
God set yourself task; strive honestly for
its accomplishment and you will be sur
prised at the wonderful progress you will
make.-Ea

The Tongue

The boneless tongue, so small and weak,
Can crush and kill, declared the Greek
The tongue destroys greater horde,
The Turk asserts, than does the sword.
Or sometimes takes this form instead:
Don't let your tongue crt off your head.
the tongue can speak word whose speed,
Saws the Chinese, onts'rips the steed.
While Arab sages this impart:
The tongues great storehouse is the
heart.
From Hebrew wit this maxim sprung:
Though feet should slip, ne'er let the
tongue.
The sacred writer crowns the whole:
Who keeps his tongue do,h keep hi:

way the spirit is kept famed. Canadians
willingly join the militia as they are not
