DON'T CRY TILL YOU'RE HURT.


" MERSON was wise man; but he
never said anything wiser than this
Some of your hurts you have cured,
a. nd some of the sha rpest you have
survived;
what torments of grief you endured
From evils which never arrived.
About two-thirds of the worlds worry
and torment is caused by anticipating
troubles that never happen and good
deal of the rest could be avoided by fight
ing and beating these threatened troubles
instead of whining about them.
Fear is one of the greatest handicaps
in life. 1t deadens initiative, stiles asplr-
alton, para.yzes action, benumbs the SOUL
And ninety per cent of the fears that
shackle humanity are imaginary and
groundless. If you'll walk right up and
take hold of the crisis you are worrying
about, instead of covering and shiverlng
and waiting for the blow to fall you'll find
in most cases that there is nothing to it
at all.

Apparently the personal tax list make
very interesting reading for most taxpay

be called upon for himself but, because h
wishes to compare his and his neighbor'

Just what the Silent Suffrage Sentinels
before the White House expect to get, ex-
cept cold feet, has not yet beer disclosed.
It is regretable that equal-suffrag workers
can't hit upon some way of expending
their honest enthusiasm that will net at
least possible results. Attracting atten-
tion to the cause isn't enough, and at
tracing attention by methods bordering
on the freakish is worse than useless.
