From Our EXCHANGES

| 1T is easier to start fire than to put it
out.
| Life is a gift, but reward will be &C
cording to work, good or evil.
| Heavier blows are struck with the
tongue than the hands.
| Progress is an unwritten law which you
alone can deny.
Don't mind people laughing at you.
Maybe they have beautiful teeth.
Envy We like it. It's but praise
speaking from the gutter.
1t is funny how much work lazy man
will do to avoid work.
Happiness is based upon conception,
not conditions.
| Wisdom is knowing what to do next;
skill is knowing how to do it, virture is do
ing it.
| "A New York correspondent informs us
that that city opened new subway line in
Fits transportation system on Sunday, when
an extension of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
underground line was put in operation on
Broadway, placing at the publc's con-.
venience line between Times Square in
Manhattan, and Times Plaza. Brooklyn,
and connecting with other subways
1t is announced that women will be en-
ployed as ticket agents and tram guards.
Happiness is to be found in congenial
work, in regular and well-spent life, in
obscurity and retirement, in sound and
true friendship, and especially in the love
of man and a woman who thoroughly
appreciate each other.
| ITO die for ones country is fine. but
to live for ones country is better''
| Experience show that success is due
less to ability than to zeal. The winner is
he who gives himself to his work, body and
soul. -Charles Burton.
Most of the shadows that cross our
path are caused by standing in our own
light.-Dinger.
-''Sin has many tools, but lie is the
handle that fits them ALL
| 1.-THE more clearly man perceives the
duality of his nature the more progress he
is making.''
1.-THE surest and quickest development
of the will comes from making ourselves
work against the grain: that is, making
ourselves in our lowest moments carry out
what we designed in our highest. But it
may be a long time before we appreciate
how great is the victory we are achieving"
I'VE can produce any state of mind by
making ourselves act and look and speak
for awhile as if we already had it. Then
it will take charge of the situation for itself
and we have only to guide it little. Here
is the key to transforming our nature and
| temperament"
-"Don't neglect doing a right thing
now because you think you can't keep it
up. In a mans battle with his lower ma
ture, his battle for freedom, every stroke
tells though it may only be long afterwards
that he is able to appreciate what he then
did,"
-"As you grow ready for it, somewhere
or other you will find what is needtul for
you-in book, or friend, or best of all
in your own mind"
| -"Cherish and increase your enjoyment
of music. For as we are very conscious of
our outer lives and hardly at all of our in
ner, music can reverse this; for it is the
voice of the inner, claiming some of the at
tention we give so exclusively to the OUTER"
| The Brotherhood of Mankind must no
longer be fair but empty phrase. Thrust
be given structure Of force and reality.
| Some men are wise, and some are other
wise. A wise man thinks all he says, and
fool saws all he thinks.
