IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD
By Rudyard Kiplimg

Dy hUOyuT0 h9pt3Hy
If we knew the cares and trials.
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment.
Understand the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem-I wOnder-,just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we Judge each other harshly.
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil -.4.4
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
Seeing the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we judge we should.
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
Ali the while we loath the sin;
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should Judge each others errors
More with patient charity.

MOTHER opportunity to
improve their season 8
record presented itself to
j the M. S. P.s last Satur-

, day afternoon, and they should
! have embraced it while the sun
shone, so to speak, for the fine
days of Indian summer are all too
, few. Getting away in the lead,
. the locals allowed their opponents
, to wrest victory from them by pill
ing up errors. 1t was a game
characterized by light hitting on
both sides, and four of our oppo-
, nent's runs were due to the ex-
tremely passe play of the locals.
The visitors made one run in the
first when Anderson led off with a
triple down the right foul line.
Berger walked. Rowland's out,
Brad to Lohr, scored Anderson.
Beyers singled and stole second.
Stone struck out. label out to
Lohr, unassisted.
| The locals came back with two
in their half. Lee lifted Texas
Lacquer back of second then ad.
vanced a base on a passed ball.
Brad was called out on strikes.
Burn singled to left and Lee scored
on Underwood's poor return of the
ball. East sent a sharp grounder
between Rowland's legs and Burn
scored. Kien skied to Anderson.
Gil struck out.
| The visitors we're presented with
a brace of runs in the third. After
Anderson struck out, Berger
walked and advanced one station
on Rowland's out, Kien to Lohr.
Beyers was hit by a pitched ball.
Two successive passed balls by
East allowed Berger to tally and
put Beyers on third. The latter,
noticing a general inattentiveness
on the part of the locals, concluded
there was nobody home' and
boldly set sail for the plate while
the pitcher was cuddling the ball.
He was right, and was half way to
the players bench before the ball
arrived. 1t was an audaciOus theft
in broad daylight amid cries of
alarm from the crowd. But then
Beyers ran wild on the bases
throughout the game and is credit
ed with four steals for the day.
Why can't the M. S. P.s pull some
of that stuff? Stone concluded the
inning by taking three strikes, the
third one thudding into his anato-
my so hard as to render him help
less for few moments, after which
he gamely resumed his position be-
hind the bat.
i No further untoward incident
occurred until the locals half of
the fourth. East walked. then stole
second. Kien shot a grounder to
| Anderson who touched East out on
| his way to third. The throw to
first, however, was too late to
catch Kien who promptly stole Sec
ond. Gil slammed bounder at
Beyers, but Kien had made third,
so Gil was retired at first. Then
|, Kien concluded, for some reason,
that he was not entitled to third,
and ran back to second arriving
safely amid a flock of puzzled
players. Possibly Lefty" was
giving us a burlesque on some of
the stuff pulled in the last game of
the Worlds Series. Anyway it
was a scream. Beyers later tried
to catch Lefty" off second and
threw poorly. Lefty" didn't stop
at third but kept right on going to
fall an easy victim at the plate.
i The visitors half of the sixth
brought them two more runs on
three errors, two steals and a hit.
| The locals gave weird exhibition
of ball playing. Beyers reached
| first safely when Lee fumbled his
grounder. While Wells was strik-
ing out Stone and label, Beyers
stole second. and third successfully,

HEN / was a boy l re-
member hearing a con-
versation between my
\ mother and nv school

NSS4SZ1BEH verSatiOn between my
G&svSgg mother and my school,
teacher. He had called to say to
her that my scholarship was so
poor that she might as we'll take
me out of school and put me to
work. Mother was 80 discouraged
at this that the teacher, who was a
kind hearted man, undertook to
comfort her.
ITO tell the TRUTH" he said,
you can never tell what kind of a
man boy is going to make. For
my part believe in following ones
bent. What we do we'll we usually
do easily. Has Tommy ever shown
especial adaptability for any par
ticular workg"
''No."
well, | would advise you to let
him do what he likes to do. Per-
haps he will some day find out
what he is fitted for.'
IF / let him do that he will go
fishing all the while"
1t seemed to me that the teacher
gave up trying to be optimistic for
me, for he left my mother trying
to console herself as best she could.
l consoled myself for my worth
lessness by taking my rod and 60
ing to the brook. 1t was full of
trout, and thought that l might
as we'll get some for supper. I
could at least do that even if l were
a no account boy. l brought home
a fine string of fish.
Mother took me out of school
and called OH me to help her about
the house. l was a very poor
helper and hated the work. As
soon as l could get my chores done
l made off with my rod and mother
saw no more of me till l came
home, always with a string of fish.
That was the only way that l was
really useful.
l could catch fish where all 9TH
ers failed. The reason for this
was that 1 noted the habits of the
fish and knew just when and where
to look for them. / noticed that
there was certain kind of fly that
trout would always take. / had
no fly in my case that they would
take with the same avidity. l
caught one of these flies and, TAX
ing it home, made one as near like
it as could. l had a box of paints
which served me very we'll. My
artificial fly would not have pleased
an entomologist, but it fooled the
fish.
Some boy friends of mine spread
the story of my making my own
fly, and it got to the ears of the
manager of a fishing tackle manu-
factory in the neighborhood. He
came to see me one day and asked
me about it. / showed him my ar
tifcial fly and how successful / had
been with it. He told me that if
/ would catch one of the live flies
of that species he would give me
five dollars for it. / did so and
got the money.
1t seemed to me a large sum,
and l felt very proud of it.
Several times on the way home
l took it out of my pocket to have
another good look at it.
When I took the bill to my
mother and explained how l had
got it she said that it was probably
the only five dollars / would ever
make.
/ used to talk about fish to other
fishermen. They never tired of
listening to me. One day when /
was about nineteen years old one
of them asked me to- write out for
him some of the points that ] had
told him. 1 did so, and he seemed
very much pleased with what
gave him. He was an author and
told me that if I would write an

Litigation Over Luning Property

ii. b. Lind, through mis- attorneys,
Hatton aud Hatton, has filed 4 suit
against NJ. B. Aston to which A. f..
Howe, G. r. Evans, Walter Norris
and the Wall Street Copper com
pany are made parties. The suit in
wolves u une-half interest in 81, 500
shares OF the Wall Street Copper
company, sold by Aston to Howe,
Evans and Norris.
Lind alleges in his complaint that
in 1910 the Nevada Copper company,
a Connecticut corporation, was the
owner of the Turk and Wall Street
claims aud that they were sold for
taxes to NJ. p. Randolph. That
when the period for redeeming the
claims from the tax sale was about
to expire, Aston went to him and
proposed that he, Lind, advance to
him the amount required to redeem
the claims and that, having redeemed
them, he and Lind would seek an
option on the property and that the
profits from any transaction result
ing therefrom should be divided
equally between them.
Lind says he accepted Aston's
proposition and loaned him $33, the
amount required to redeem the pro.
pertv, and that Aston redeemed it.
Lind further alleges that last year
Aston negotiated the sale of the
Turk and Wall Street claims to A.
Fl. Howe, G. r. Evans and Walter
Norris and that Aston for negotiat-
lug the sale, received an interest of
81! per cent Of the claims and 81, 900
in cash.
The defendants then organized the
Wall Street Copper company, it is
alleged, and transferred to the COM
pany the two claims and issued to
Aston 81, 800 shares OF the capital
stock OF the corporation, which Howe,
Evans and Norris subsequently pur.
chased from Aston. 1t is also al.
legged that prior to the date of their
purchase OF this stock in 1916, Lind
notified Howe, Evans and Norris
that he claimed an interest with
Aston in the two claims; that late in
1916 Aston sold to the other three
men his interest in the company and
that he, hind, has received from
Aston no portion of the proceeds.
The complaint further alleges that
the plaintiffs have been negotiating
for the sale of the property and asks
that they he restrained by iniunc.
