Birthdays

A birthday is a solemn thing; fellow
realizes then, how speedily the days take
wing, the days that do not come again. A
little grayer than last year, little slower
in my gait, feel the dump is drawing
near, and still keep my smile on straight.
A little failure of my sight; a bit more deaf
ness in my ears; few more aches-but
that's all right would not stop the scud-
ding years. My bald spot is bit more
wide, my muscles grow triAe slack; have
more stitches in my side, few more cricks
are in my back, But yonder vault of azure
bends above no gladder heart than mine,
for all about me there are friends, who
keep an old gent feeling fine. Their kind
words make my bosom swell; and fill my
piebald eyes with tears; they tell me am
looking well, and hope I'll live hundred
years. A few more symptoms of the govt
have vainly tried TO kill my joy, few more
teeth have fallen out, but am as happy as
boy Walt Mason.

Real Preparedness

While the country is ringing with cries
for or against preparing the nation for self
defense, the real and badly needed prepar-
edness seems forgotten; but no, listen to
the Duluth Herald: Anyway let's not per-
nit the fervor for preparedness against
highly improbable wars mislead us to the real
issues which are:
Preparedness against ignorance;
Preparedness against preventable poverty;
Preparedness against inordinate indivi-
dual wealth;
Preparedness against preventable disease;
Preparedness against unemployment;
Preparedness against dollar worship.
Let's not permit anybody to use military
preparedness as a red herring across the trail
which leads to this nations high destiny of
justice, freedom and peace.

A Live Wire

Call this fish Five wire'' and you will
be literally correct. He's veritable battery,
and captures his prey by electrocuting it.
Scientists are not quite certain how he does
it, but they agree that he has uncanny pow
er as a shocker.
He inhabits the rivers of South America
and is called the electric eel. He varies in
size, some giants reaching length of six
feet, with correspondingly larger electric
powers. His tail ends in point, which
the eel can renew when it is broken off. In
appearance he bears the resemblance to a
catfish and some to an eel.
The electric battery" in the fish is stu
ated just under the skin. Just what keeps
the ''battery" charged and what renews it
after the eel has discharged some of it
is uncertain.
Explorers know, however, that the giant
cells of Brazil are capable of giving a pow
erful shock, very painful to man, and that
they use this method in killing other fish
and small animals.-Ec.

The Requirements of Honor

It's only matter of thinking right,
It's only the way that you look at things,
It's only yourself that you have to fight
When an easier way the tempter brings.
1t isn't difficult thing to do
If you stop to think as you 60 along;
The crossing roads shouldn't puzzle you,
It's easy to choose the right from the
wrong.
Decency isn't life long task,
It's only matter of thinking right,
It's only yourself that you have to ask
When you face deed that may bring
blight.
It's only an instant from right to wrong,
Though oft, indeed, must the choice be
made,
If you stop to think as you 60 along
You will never whine that your feet have
strayed.
Honor's thing that we all can keep,
Howe'er we differ in strength and brain,
Decency isn't so vague or deep
That a man should needlessly take
stain.
The line is sharp and the line is clear,
As the day is never confused with night,
1t isn't so hard to be honest here,
It's only matter of thinking right.

Bits of Tobacco History

A member of the English House of Com
mons in 1921 wanted tobacco banished from
the kingdom because he had seen plough
man smoking while at work.
In 1899 an enterprising advertiser hung
in St. Paul's cathedral an announcement
that he would teach young men the art of
smoking.
In 1924 the smoking of tobacco was pro-
hibited in Russia, under the penalty of hav-
ing ones nose cut off.
In Persia at one. time, smoking was made
a capital offense on the ground that it rem
dered people infertile.
Smoking in the Swiss canton of Berne
once ranked next to adultery in the category
of crimes.
In the seventeenth century the pipes of
smokers in Turkey were thrust through
their noses.
The first account of Tobacco was pub
lshed by Romanus Paine in 1896.
There was time in England when
smoking was prohibited in ale houses

Culture

Culture is by-product of good living.
1t is the deepening and widening and rehn-
ing of the human soul that comes from in
telligent living, from skillful service and
labor, not for selfish good but for the good
of those with whom we associate and of all
the world. He who fails finally to attain
it, though he may have accumulated the
wealth of the Indies, or gained power or
fame, has failed. He who attains it is sue
cessful in life, though he may have gained
neither wealth nor fame nor power. Thus
culture comes from service and duty we'll
done. 1t is the product of unselfsh, intel
ligent living, intelligent performance of
daily duties.-Clarton.

Do You Know

An effective advertisement of the day re-
presents one workman saying to another,
"What are you doing now, Bill?'' The
advertisement goes on to say that you don't
ask trained man what he is doing, tor of
course he is at work in his own line. 1t is
only the unframed drifter to whom this
question comes.
1t is cleverly presented appeal for train
you do not ask that question. 1t is the
man who knows where he is going. The
man of will power, who has decided on his
aim, whether trained or unframed, is not to
be set aside. He does not drift. He does
net try this or that job because it appears
easier or more attractive to him. If he is
unframed he gets his training by the way.
But always he is going to his goal, and he
is going by the straightest road that leads
to it.
Some mems course in life looks like
child's zigzag tracks across snowy field.
They have no definite goal. They fall into
the first job that chance presents. They
take another because it looks more inviting
or because necessity drives. There is no
attempt to find the thing for which they are
fitted, the work in which they may be hap
py, and accomplish good results. Here
and there they drift. And because they
have no goal. of course they never reach
one. They are the men who are failures
and dependents where the strength of youth
is past.
Do you know where you are going? You
ought to know very early in life. If you
know early you can begin to make your
education, your play, and work serve you
to reach your aim.
Says David Starr Jordan, eff you say to
yourself, Il will be a traveller, statesman,
an engineer if you never unsay it; if you
bend all your power in that direction; if
you take advantage of all helps that come
in your way. and reject all that do not, you
will sometime reach your goal. For the
world turns aside to let any man who knows
whittier he is going. '-Er.

The City Cousin

He's my own cousin, Mamma says, but,
my! he's awful green!
Because he's always lived in town and so
he hasn't seen
So very many things. He said he never
MIXED COW,
And all the grass he ever saw was in yard,
till now!
He never gathered roasting eals, and its the
first time he
Threw up stick to knock down nuts and
ate 'em off the tree!
And he don't know where honey grows,
and never learned to swim!
My! would hate to be that old and not
know more than him!
When he is home there amt creek, and
so he never goes
A-hshing, and he hasn't got suit of real
old clothes,
The kind you have to have to fish; and he
says he can't 60
Barefooted with us, because the grass and
weeds would hurt his toe!
He won't chew slippery ellum bark or
beeswax; he's afraid
Of it because he told us that he don't know
how it's made;
And he won't dig up angle worms because
they wiggle so;
l never saw the place he lives, but, my! it
must be slow!-J. w. Foley.

Lies Journey

AS we speed out of youths sunny station
The track seemed to shine in the light
But it suddenly boots over the chasms-
And sinks into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the morning
Are filled with pining and fears,
As they pause at the City of Sorrow
Or pass through the Valley of Tears.
But the path for this perilous railway,
The Hand of the Master has made,
With all its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid.
Roads leading from dark into darkness;
Roads plunging from gloom to despair
Wind up through the tunnels of midnight
: To fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho the rocks and their shadows sur
round US,
Tho we catch not one CLEAN of the day,
Above US fair cities are laughing
And dipping white feet in some bay;
And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in the west,
The last final end OF our journey,
There lies the great Station of Rest.
IT'S the grand central point of all railways
All roads cluster here where they end.
IT'S the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend;
All tickets, or mile books, or passes,
If stolen, or begged for, or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City of Trouble,
Or wait in the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward
And sweep down the track of the years.
Wherever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest,
You shall come at the last with rejoicing
To the beautiful Station of Rest.

Sandpaper

You tell me there are many unpleasant
things troubling you in the place in which
you work. If you can answer without be-
traying a secret-would you mind telling
me if you ever knew of velvet being used
successfully as substitute for sandpaper!
The unpleasant, the hard, the trying. the
temper-testing things are the sandpapery
aids that smooth you off-that train you
that fit you to shoulder bigger responsible
ties and to assist in more trying troubles later
on. So be very thankful for the sandpaper.

Our Best

The life which lives in more than years
May serve but humble part
Where'r it be it is the life
Which does things from the heart.
What were the days of toll or pain?
From WEAKNESS comes rest.
Content the heart that knows full well
It's tried to do its best.
We may sit by and wish and hope
Good luck would come our way
But we must think and we must work
AS we'll as dream and pray.
We are not here to simply be-
To eat and sleep and rest!
We have duty-yea, a task,
Which claims our very best.
The trouble is with most of us
We do not persevere;
We do all right till we get tired,
Or obstacles appear.
The life must be in tune with good
Be brave to meet each test;
Be strong and true until the end,
And strive to be its best.
We can't depend on some one else
In this old world ali, no!
If we're content with "good enough
Our soul-life will not grow.
It's ours to choose the upward way,
Fen though the storms we breast!
To drift through life-this were to fail;
IT'S ours to live our best
Joseph Henry Ayrss.
