Ed HOWe's Philosophy.

One OF those wonderful creations, a
special newspaper article, is entitled:
BE the Best" The idea is that if you
are a ball player, railroad man, writer
be the best one. 1t is foolish to ad-
wise man to be the best. There are
a dozen good reasons why I am not
the best writer, and am utterly help
less in overcoming them. I am not
even able to do my best; am COM
PEELED to stumble along, and regret
today the follies of yesterday. Why
isn't the man who wrote the special
article the best? | never heard of him
until I saw his name attached to a
piece declaring that no owl is true to
himself or his higher instincts unless
he has the bright, eye, majestic flight
and sharp talons of the eagle.
Nature heals-but the doctor makes
out the bill.
