OUR LITTLE eRoucHEs.

We all love heroes. There is enough
OF the poet and the actor in the aver
age man. there is enough imagination,
to enable him to put up a fair imita-
ton OF a hero whenever the opportunity
offers.
We can all manage to meet failure,
grief and death with some show Of
bravery.
But we are very often towards when
we face the petty irrithtions Of every
day. And as these ills are of hourly
occurrence we ere much less heroes II
fact than we fancy ourselves. So 1t is .
good plan, once in while. to make a
little record Of our ordinary grouchee.
There's the getdng-up Crouch. Its
causes arc many. the cure Is the same
for oil 1t can be had before We leave
our rooms--just a little deep breathing
before the open window. OF a cold
plunge, will do the work.
There's the crouch because the morn
T, ing coffee is too weak OF too strong,
Well, most II us drink too much coffee
anyway.
There's the Crouch because we have
to stand up in the street car. But hang
ing onto O strap Is excellent exercise,
as cool as a 81 message. for that part
of the population which sits at work
all day.
There's the Crouch over our clothes
which are never quito good enough.
We can never cure this by buying
more. II woman can AFFORD a chin
chilla coat at $4,000 she covets a sable
cape at $4,000. But II we will put our
minds on the needs Of the Red Cross
in Europe We very soon become asham-
ed of our mad craze FOR finery.
There's the office grouch--which con-
sists in trying TO go opposite TO the
course of business events. Just-aver-
age human perversity kills harmony
and corporation in many an organiza-
ton. Yhere's always someone above
us or next to US TO be jealous OF. The
cure for this Is to remember that he
who would command must first learn
to obey" And IL this kind OF philosophy
does not help, then the honest thing
is 70 md another job.
Every morning we seize afreeh upon
all Of our little pet grouches as II they
were novelties belonging TO each ono
exclusively, and not ancient incum-
brancos which No should have dis
cnrdsd yester-yeaz And perhaus No
