MAN is TAKEN AT OWN VALUE
Humility Is Called Virtue but 1t
Ceases to Be One If 1t ls Car
ried Too Far.

Humility is called a virtue. 1t is so
unless carried too far. A man is u.s.
ually taken at his own value. If he
makes too little of himself, he is like
ly to be thought of little worth. The
unduly humble man will lack the
strength of character needed for sue
cess. He will have little influence in
society and will not be fitted to hold
responsible position.
While too great opinion of one
self stands in the way of progress, too
great humility is worse, says the Mil
waukee Journal. Conceit receives
many knocks in life and may be taken
out of a man; too much humility sell
dom receives the needed encourage
ment. Conceit in a child is soon cor
rected when he comes to mingling
with other children in schools. Too
great humility gives his schoolmates
a chance to put upon him and treat
him as an inferior-a chance which
will seldom be neglected. A child may
become crippled in spirit for life in
this way. Even teachers sometimes
fail to see what is the trouble with the
child and to give him the encourage
ment he needs. Beware Of breaking
down a child's confidence. Irrepa-
rable injury may thus be done him.
Train him to feel that he is Of value
and is able to do what there is for
him to do. Think well of yourself if
you would have others think well of
you.

Value of Industry.

"a somewhat varied" experience of
men," says Professor Huxley, "has
led me, the longer 1 live, to set the
less value upon mere cleverness, and
to attach more and more Importance
to industry and to physical endurance.
Indeed, l am much disposed to think
endurance is the most valued quality
of all; for industry, as the desire to
work hard, does not come to much
If feeble frame is unable to respond
to the desire. Everybody who has
had to make his way in the world
must know that, while the occasion
for intellectual effort of high order
is exceedingly rare, it constantly hap
pens that O mans future turns upon
his being able to stand sudden and
heavy strain upon his powers of en-
-durance. To q lawyer, a physician,
merchant, it may be everything to be
able to work for the space of 16 hours
a day for as long as is needful More
over, the patience, tenacity and good
humor which are among the most i'm
portant qualifications for dealing with
men are incompatible with an irrita-
BILE brain, weak stomach, or a de-
fective circulation.

Der of the flying squadron" of the
Red Cross, says the indianapolis News.
Miss Munro was one of a machine
load of workers canvassing the rural
routes west of the city. At one home
on the haywood road, Miss Munro
alighted and seeing several men in the
carriage shed back of the house, pro-
ceeded in that direction, determined
to make her appeal to the purse hold
ing part Of the family. Soon the
other occupants of her machine heard
sounds indicating some presumably hui
morous situation, and soon Miss Munro
emerged from the shed and showed to
her companions a double handful of
bills and small change. "Six dollars"
she exclaimed, laughingly, "and how
do you suppose I got it? l ran into
a keg of beer and q poker game. and
in order to get rid of me posthaste,
they gave me everything on the board"

SHORT ON HIS "PER CAPITA"
Boston Man Needs Only $3.50 to
Make Up the $43 Which Every
one is Supposed to Possess.

According to the latest population
figures with reference to the money In
circulation in this country, every man,
woman and child in the United States
should have $43 in his, hers or it's
jeans.
Have you got yours?
haven't got mine, Newton Newkirk
writes in the Boston Post.
1t occurs to me that when the fact
becomes generally known that l
haven't got mine some ''per capita"
who discovers that he has considerably
more ready cash in his pockets than he
ought to have according to this di-
vision of funds, will split with me, so
that I will have my normal quota of
dollars.
All I need in order to have my SAB
is $3.50.
No hurry about it, of course, but the
sooner somebody RENTS me this $3.50
the more grateful 1 will be. There is
really no necessity that I can see of
delaying or postponing such a little
matter as this. By a rapid mental
arithmetical calculation it will readily
be seen that l now have $3.50 of the
SAB needed and before 1 have spent
any portion of this $3.50 it would be
well for somebody to make up the def
cit of $37.50-otherwis the deficit is
liable to be more.

On the Editor.

A magazine editor of New York
prides himself on his knowledge of
poetry and on his delicate critical
sense of the same. His friends often
joke him about this.
A noted illustrator laid on the edi-
tors desk the other day a couplet that
ran:
Help US save free conscience from
the paw
OF hireling wolves whose gospel Is
their maw."
The editor read the couplet, then
laughed heartily.

WIDE SWEEP OF RED CROSS
Emblem Recalls to Workers Myriad
Deeds of Mercy on Fields of Blood
and Amid Scenes of Suffering.

The sign of the Red Cross, to one
who has worked under 1t, calls up
countless images, says Marian Bousall
Davis, former volunteer worker in
France. Sometimes it Is old shoes
shoes so old they let in the mud and
water of the trenches. The owners,
coming in on stretchers and in stock
inged feet. guard them protectingly,
thinking they must do duty again.
How many professions there are, of
pale faces and old shoes!
Sometimes an image that comes to
one woman is giant negro, John
Brown from Texas, whom she found
in French hospital. John Brown
had come over to France as a groom
to several hundred cavalry horses. Ar
rived there, he said he thought sit was
up to him to do his bit" He Joined
the Foreign Legion, fought bravely,
and was severely wounded.
Very often the image is of a pa
trician woman, wearing the Red Cross
on her arm, performing the humblest
services for private soldiers, even car
rying their poor shoes; for other dark
people, sharing the agony of the fight
the Singalese.
The Red Cross flag flying from the
schoolhouse that is now q hospital in
the main street of the village that

tered bodies; that red badge on the
cases of relief supplies unloaded at
the docks; on the sides of the motor
ambulances; over the cantines where
homeless soldiers may sleep; over this
shelter for children-the sign multi
plies into a myriad banners.
The Red Crosses are there and will
be there in greater numbers, because
little children have emptied precious
pennies from their savings banks,
young girls gone without their treats;
young boys given money hard earned;
men and women given generously and

Pershinu,s PaYmaster,

In one of those out-of-the-way

with gossip and speculation, says the
New York Evening Post.
"Now that's something like" said
one officer. I'D give anything to go
with Pershing."
"Why not write and tell him so?"
suggested young lieutenant.
what! Me?" came the reply.
"Why, I'm only a paymaster."
"And a mighty good paymaster," in.
sisted the other.
And so a letter was duly forwarded
to General Pershing by the paymaster
who wanted to- serve under him in
France. Two days later a telegram
arrived at the post for the paymaster.
It read:
you're it.-Pershing."
It's not all red tape in the army.
