IN the OQlL6Q OldCSS we SpSAu OuO
dollar for education and six dollars for
.'booze." If we would reverve the
''bills' we would be nation of some
sense in few years.
From the way some people act in this
country, we are convinced that liquor
is the devils way to man, and it is no
question but it is mans way to the
devil.
We do not judge things always by
their inherent merit, but by the influence
they have upon people. The pool hall
is an example.
There are some snappy people in this
world. They are usually suffering from
obscurity and mental defects. They
feed upon gall and imagine everybody
else enjoys their gall.
There are some pin-headed people
who think that because they do not like
a certain person that no one else does.
So they will go around town and visit
other towns telling people that ''that
person is thought nothing Of" Such
people are always seeing green.
/ The best remedy for heavy heart is
to do something worth the while for
someone else. 1t is the best antidote
known. Feeding on misfortune never
ministers to uplift depression.
One of the biggest sins committed is
! fretting. I want you to know fretting
t is time wasted on the road of life.
The person who is always thinking of
| self is the greatest spendthrift that is
! known to society.
! I despise a man, a society, or a
church that will even: try to dictate as
to the books or the papers I shall or
shall not read. Not to submit may do
some individuals harm, but to submit
will blight the mind of any person to a
creates or less degree. You must think
and judge or die. The world in the
past has had too many mental suicides.
1 I cannot remake myself, but 1 car
make out of myself the best of what
God has given me to work with. The
prize of life is given to him who relig-
iously makes the most out of his cir
cumstances.
Most people, Fhigher up" seem to
T be money mad. In the morning of the
10th century there are a large number
of capitalists willing to hire babies OF
the age of three and four years old. In
some of our large canning centers
babies three years old are set to 'Esnip-
ping" beans. 1t is reported that IL
one place, of the 1900 children employ
ed over 1000 of them are under fourteen
years old. These children were under
fed and over worked. This is done that
large dividends may be earned.
You have always heard the express
sion four-and-twenty blaekbirds, -
but not all may know its meaning.
1.-The four-and-twenty blackbirds'
mean the four-and-twenty hours of the
day. The bottom of the pie is the
world, while the crust represents the
| sky. The opening of the pie is the
dawn of day, "when the birds begin to
sing such sight is fit for king.
The king sitting in his parlor counting
out his money is the sun while the gold
pieces slipping through his fingers are
sun-beams. ''The queen sitting in
the kitchen is the moon and the
''honey" is moonlight. The industrious
maid is daylight before the sun
has risen and the bird that '.nips off
her nose is sunset. So we have the
whole day in pie.
/ Love and romance may be a great
stimulus in young life. It may cover
many faults and help over some hard
place on the journey, but the young
/ girl who wants to make a good wife
must learn the practical things of life
or later find romance" has lost all its
glamour. Only the practical girl sue
ceeds. Only the ''love-romatic' girl
finds the divorce court. A workable
partnership is the only successful mar
ried life. She must know economy,
know how to spend money, and to meet
responsibilities
] 1t is so much better to whistle than
to whine. Two little boys were run
ming along the street. The smaller
one fell, but was not badly hurt. He
commenced to whine in a boyish way.
It was one of those mad-cross whines.
The older boy took him by the hand
and said, ''Oh, never mind, Billie, DON t
whine; it is so much nicer to whistle. -
And he commenced to whistle the live
lest tune he knew. Billie tried TO join
In the whistle. ssI can't do it as nice
as you, Johnnie; my lips won't pucker
up good" And Johnnie replied, THAT
is because you haven't all the whine
cut yet. You try 3 minute and the
whistle viii drive the whine away. .
Nov reader, try Johnnie's advice and
