THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD.

Did you get anywhere with anybody in arguing about the responsibility for the war, for in stance. Or about the responsibility for the lack of our school facility the temporary improvements done to our streets our sidewalks, etc. etc. As matter of fact did you get anywhere arguing with any body about anything We At least not that we know of Not even in argument where our right to express opinion is involved 1t interfere with any fixed plan of opponent. No matter how much right common sense and justice may give you if anywise the path of another your argu ment fails. No, there is use of trying to con- vince anybody that you have right to say any thing because you will almost invariably find your opponent in the frame of mind of the old lady who insisted that she open to conviction but she would Ike to see the man who would convict her. Yet, those very few men who will tell you that you have right express your opinion, will also tell vou that they admire man with the courage of his conviction. But of course that means when you are on the side of the fence.

SET A MARK FOR LIFE.

Work for something, not for nothing It is not wise tc live just for the fleeting moment just for today. Without some aim ones time and work go for naught. The years go by and he has noth- ing to show for them If not advancing. falling back If not keeping alive, growing to something better and higher, We becoming weaker and of less worth Even though reach the goal, have made some advance in striving for it. good aim, real purpose in life. makes worth of character. All have not the same tastes. There is wide field from which to choose what will work for And this is well. The one. universal aim is the same, live truer better lives from day to day. A life without purpose is like ship without rudder. Want of motive makes life dreary and monotonous Nothing satisfies Bet ter little talent and much purpose than much talent and little purpose Aim for something worth while and keep your mark steadily to you. Life will much you You will be more useful to the world, you will find satisfaction in living.

CAT AND CHICKENS FRIENDLY
Singular Affection Existing Between Creatures Usually Thought to Be
 More or Less AntaQonistie.

A quaint friendship among our dumb animals is cited by the Greene County Journal, which reports that a bright kitten now rapidly ap- preaching the first bloom of her young cathood, having lost every known relative through an unfor- tunate series of illness and accidents, has chosen to cast her lot with the fine chickens owned and operated by her kind master, M. T. McCreight, the prominent pet stock fancier of Jamestown.
 All the livelong day the strange friends run and play together, quite en rapport, as we say in Ohio, and in spite of cameraderie which is very touching to the observer who realizes the marked differences in their nat ural tastes and inclinations and ap- preciates the mutual sacrifices which cat and a chicken must make in or der to appear keenly interested in each others pursuits.
 At night our young cat roosts with her companions of the day, with a delicate consideration of the customs of those among whom she finds her. self and generous determination that when one is in Rome one must do as the Romans do, perching cross wise, as a cat naturally would had she no one's feelings save her own to consider.-Ohio State Journal.
