1917 is PASSING ALONG

One-half of 1917 is gone. What
have you done toward accomplishing
the many things you planned to do?
Unless you have gone one-half of
the way, you are behind time, and
like a heavy freight train under a
schedule.
You will find that others have
the right of way and while you
stand on the sidetrack they will
push along the track of life and
make good where you failed. Get
up and make the most of that lost
time. The greatest lesson you can
teach yourself is that time is money
and once spent, it never returns.
You have to spend it but you seldom
do it wisely.
Start July with a determination to
make up for the days lost in June
You must put your shoulder to the
wheel and get your body behind your
your brain. Take care of yourself,
but work hard to the limit. Hard
work is the way to be successful
there is no other way.

DRIVING THE IDLE TO WORK

Among the war laws of West Vir-
gnia is one which requires every
able bodied male resident between
the ages of 16 and 60 to engage ha-
bitually and regularly in some law
full, useful and recognized business,
profession, occupation or employ
ment whereby he may produce or
earn sufficient to support himself
and those legally dependent upon
him.
BY this law able bodied residents,
except students during school terms,
who fail to be so engaged at least
thirty-six hours week, shall be held
to be vagrants and guilty of mis-
demeanor. On conviction they shall
be fined not more than 500 for each
o1ense or set to work for not more
than sixty days on the roads or some
csher public work. One half of the
fair value of the vagrant's labor
shall be paid to his dependents. but,
il he has no one legally dependent
nDon him, no payment shall be made
Oh account of his labor
The most interesting feature of
this law. however. is it's provision
for the idle rich. The law DEGREES
that in no case shall the possession
BY the accused of money. property.
or income sufficient to support him
self and his dependents be defense
70 any prosecution.-Buff Inquirer.

"PuttlnQ Off"

Give up the very un'wise habit Of
putting Off" Putting off will result
only in your giving up your good in
tentions. There Is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
a woman may be, she can always find
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means Of cheering or strength
ening another around her less strong
willed.
Putting of until tomorrow what you
could do today is a sure way to upset
things In general, for procrastination Is
surely the thief Of time. Before one
realizes just how 1t happened the days
have flown by and we have not ac-
compllshed one-half the things we had
intended to.
There is no time like the present,
and If we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure of instead Of
putting or until that future that
may not cOme.-Exchange.

Making Lie Joyous

It Is not the great tragedies which
make life so disappointing. 1t is far
more the lack Of the world that might
perfectly well have been spoken, the
letter which might have been written,
the visit that might have been paid.
It takes very little sometimes to set
life at the full again, and when our
hearts do leap with Joy 1t is more often
than not because something old has
hourished again. Why hunt up novel
ties when BY just touch on some old
spring the whole world will look like
new world to someone you know ?

two or three exact spots where he can

THEIR Two Ways.
Women Shoppers Show There Are
Two Methods Of Killing a Cat.
One Gets Grudoino Service by sharf
Demands While Other Wins Sales
girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas
In many departments of Bolivar &
Clark's great store girls with tired
eyes were trying, usually with pa
tience to serve the never-ending line
of customers. In the gingham depart.
ment however, the clerks were having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together.
taking it for granted that any chance
visitor to the department was on hei
way to the silk department beyond.
So it happened that two womeo
stood for several minutes in front Of
the seersuckers without being noticed.
Presently one Of them walked across
to the group where Madge Hardness
was graphically describing the Christ
mas that she would have If she had
thousand dollars to spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tone.
II want to see seersuckers, and ]
have no time to waste. Will one OF
you come and wait upon me, or shall
1 call floorwalker?"
A hot color famed in Madge's face.
She turned at once and began taking
down seersuckers. She answered ev-
cry question distinctly; there was uot
thing with which her customer could
find fault and yet her whole manner
radiated antagonism. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders
behind her customers back.
"rhe old cat!" she said to Minnie
Dixon, as her customer left. "rd like
to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like to put her behind the counter
to wait upon herself. Wouldn't she
be a sweet one? She'd be fired at the
end Of the first day."
Just then the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was little,
white-haired, old lady, but there was
twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into
Madge's sullen face with warm
hearted friendliness.
II hope you won't mind my saying
it." she remarked, "but what pretty
girls you have at this counter! Old
ladies love to See them, you know"
For moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh, and the old lady
laughed with her.
"Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed,
twinkling again, II expected you to.
But all the same," she added, when her
order was taken and she was turning
away, II meant it, too"
"Taffy!" Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. ''But l be-
lieve she meant it. Anyway. it made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be so foxy!"
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator, but it
was a tender smile, for she really
loved girls.
And the Interested bystander who
had seen it all went on her way smil-
ing, too.-Youth's Companion.
