LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK
Andrew carnegie's Early Ambition
Was to Be Great Editor-Burns
Resisted Lure of journalism.

Andrew Carnegie In his early days
had an ambition to enter the newspa-
per business, but when he failed to OBJ
tain a position on the Pittsburgh Dis
patch he turned his talents in other
directions and finally became Americas
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand,
spurned efforts to induce him to go In
to journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming the most be-
loved Of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out in an address given
by William VIII, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
of the London Morning Post started the
Star Burns declined to give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
ticles. Later James Perry, proprietor
of the London Morning Chronicle, of
fered Burns f5 week to join the staff.
Burns refused the offer on the plea
that his duties as an excise officer
would prevent him from attending to
the work. Nothing ever resulted, ell
ther from the suggestions that Burns
write three-act comic opera.

WHY WASTE ONES LIFETIME?
After All, as Lincoln Said, the World
Will Little Know Nor Long
Remember.

In an article In the American Maya
zine one man says to another who was
very sensitive and worried a great
DEAL
Exactly he grunted. "A few years
ago they We're live men like you and
me. They grew up and did their busi-
ness and loved and married and died.
Some of them passed happily along
their way, believing the best of their
fellows, doing their jobs whole heart
eddy and well, spreading a bit Of sun
shine among the folks they came in
contact with, extracting every drop of
sweetness from every single day. And
others went through, wrapped up in
side their own little selves, envying
their neighbors, fancying themselves
abused, worrying over triiles, always
on the lookout for Sights, spelling q
full 90 per cent of their days through
their own pettiness. And few days
pass, and they all are laid out here to-
gether, the men who laughed their way
through life and made others laugh a
little more, and the men who gnawed
their hearts out. All lying side by
side, never to live again.
"'Think of the things that those
dead men worried about. What do
they amount to now? Think of the
good luck that they enyied in other fell
lows. Who in the world remembers
it? They had one little lifetime to live,
and they spoiled it by over-sensitive-
ness and jealousy. Doesn't it strike
you as an awfully foolish way to waste
a lifetime, when it's the only lifetime
that you will ever haveY"

Traits of Bird Lovers,

Years ago, during a winters visit
in London, I used to watch the per-
sons who regularly fed the birds in
Hyde park. 1 noticed that most of
them were people of apparently hum
BILE circumstances, a few pretty close
to underfeeding themselves. 1t was
delightful to see how much pleasure
they all took in keeping these birds
from hunger.
Two that l saw each day for a
week or so, evidently husband and
wife, l ventured to speak to. Eagerly
they talked about the birds as they
might have talked about children,
noting and relishing individual char
acterlstics.
1--WE have become so fond of Them"
said the wife. "They recognize us
now, many Of them, and a few come
to us quite fearlessly. We should
feel quite uncomfortable If we should
miss a day. They are like members
of the family that have to be cared
for."-Exchange.

THURSDAY, JUNE ID, 1918

The person. who continually talks
about the grind and the drudgery OF
his work is sure to be worth very little
either to himself or anybody else. This
poor soul is very much like those other
good people who always tell you, when
you ask them how they feel, "Oh, IN
just tol'able today OF course, SUCH
people could not feel well, FOR if they
did they would be conscious of having
told lie in saying they were 'just
tol'able.,
In both cases, the trouble is mental
and not physical. They have made up
their minds that their work Is absolute
drudgery or that their health is only
fairly good In piping times Of peace,
these constitutional grunters and groan.
ers are a drag on the people they meet;
but when the country is at war, they
are an absolute menace. They hurt
their own ability to work and the mor-
ale OF every other worker they touch.
They should buck up and put their Own
feelings into the background because
it is not patriotic togrumble,
Every soldier has 70 learn the lesson
OF being cheerful no matter what hap
pens. He is taught to be uncomplain-
ing under hardships and the most in-
tense physical strain. The man and
the woman at home must realize that
service TO the country and TO the boys
who are fighting, means work without
grumbling. Patriotism is work with o
smile.
Drudgery is mental. 1t must be put
away for the period Of the war at least.
II this is done the chances are more
than even that it will be put away for
ever.
