VENGEANCE Will Be Mine.

Old Aunt Libbie, who washes for
about everybody in n uptown flat. is
still limping a bit from a fall she had
on the occasion of the first freeze of
the season. She was head-toting "a
basket of clothes in the direction OF
Toledo street when her feet mingled
with some ice on the sidewalk. Aunt
Libbie and the basket did a Mrs. Yer
non Castle gavotte.
Slowly, painfully, but with the same
old sunny philosophy, Aunt Libbie
picked herself up, gathered her
wrecked laundry into the basket and
started away. Then she paused, looked
around at the ice that had caused her
downfall, and said:
"All right, old ice. never mind, July,G

BOASTER NEVER GOOD MAN
He Who Really Does Things Does Not
Need to Call Others Atten-
ton to Them.

1t is an old. familiar saying that he
who excuses himself u himself.
So is it with the man who would exalt
himself by boasting. He, too, u
himself.
To boast is to feel the need of boast
ing, remarks the Irish World. The
strong, energetic, really successful
man is too busy planning new achieve
ments to stop to plume himself on
past ones Besides. he is not worrying
about the opinion others hold of him
He knows that he is doing well and
that he can continue to do well. That
is enough for him. He is quite content
to let his work speak for itself.
The boaster, on the contrary, by the
very fact of his boaSting, betrays Il
curious lack of Self-cOnfidence. His
hoaSting amounts to q confession that
he is surprised at himself for ever
having done anything worth boaSting
about. The discerning recognize this
and appraise the boaster accordingly.
Also they know hat wen those
whom his boasting might delude would
be repealed by the egotiSm which the
boasting indicates all too plainly. This
means that he would find it hard to-
get along with others and would be
that much more handicapped for any
genuine achievement.
IF, then, You notice in yourself any
tendencies to b~OaStfulneSs, consider
4Io;v O.; ,ri,S1or wa rc ,o,,1y,hn-
that the more YOU boast the less likely
are you to accomplish things that are
really worth while.

Saving Sense of Humor.

At its best estate the human mind is
delicately poised. In this respect it
does not differ from any other highly
complex machine. And for this reason
Il comparatively light shock may diSar-
range it and reduce its effectiveness.
Any human trait. therefore, that serves
to guard the mind from jolt and jar
is Il saving trait. OF such traits is the
saving sense of humOr.
This trait may be racial or national,
for we see it more highly developed in
America and Great Britain than in
Prussia and Turkey. But it appears
to be nourished by good physical con-
dition, says Il writer in the Minneapo-
lis Journal. A people stricken with
world-WearineSS like that of India can
not perceive the hidden smile in
things. as al a hopeful people such
as we. But ever in a well-nouriShed
land like America the man With the
saving sense of humor is nome too com

TWO BILLS CHANGE
ORGANIC ACT IND. c.
MIR. Rainey Introduces Meas
ures for U. S. to Bear Ex-

ALTER PRESENT SYSTEM

Two bills designed to effect funda-
mental changes in the organic act in
the District of Columbia. including the
rate of taxation and the methods of
appropriation. were introduced in the
House today by Representative Rainey
of Illinois, a member of the joint select
commission which investigated the MS
cal relations between the United States
and the District of Columbia
The Rainey bills provide that the rate
OF taxation in the District of Columbia
shall be established by census office
figures compiled after a special inves-
tigation into the financial statistics OF
twelve cities having u population near
est comparable with the District; also
that all District revenues shall be
placed In the miscellaneous receipts of
the Treasury, and that the United
States government shall appropriate
the sums of money for the upkeep Of
the National Capital which Congress
deems necessary.
Representative Rainey said today that
he would get behind these two bills in
the next session of Congress and en-
Geavor to have them enacted. His pur-
pose in introducing them at this late
date is merely to have them printed for
the information of all concerned, SO that
