Better Way.

Before you speak an unkind word
Of anyone just try it
The wisest of men think it over

And again-and then keep
quiet.
1t is the kindly word that lives
The harsh one to refute.
How true it is: He that forgives
Gains victory in dispute. Sc

The world has rolled along in the same old groove fer a long time until she has aequir- ed a lot of bad habits.
 The world is like a boy who runs unrestrained. Like a man who has been following the course of least resistance. AS minimizing as an animal that goes again and again to the place where it once found food.
 Doing things in the same way and following the bent of the inclination does away with the necessity of thought. Mus cle and mind respond involun- tarily.
 Precedent is a great master. Men are forever doing things

because they were done before. So it runs with the whole world in finance, commerce, religion, food, farming and politics.
 A man is Democrat or a Republican because his father was a democrat or a republi- can. His religion is that of his ancestors. When he tries to make money he tries the same old methods. The dead hand of the past regulates the food we eat, regulates everything.
 Of course things will get out of order when this process con- tinues. They are out of joint and run down at the heel. Ae- tive minds begin to chafe at the bonds that compel them to keep in step because everybody else says so. The active mind wants hand in making things hum. Such a man wants to get out of the groove, even if the going is rough on the outside. He believes that machinery is obsolete and ought to be re- newed. lie is under the inn pression that in the whirl of the universe he is too far from the center. That his worth is not fully appreciated.
 It ought to be "oher the top and out of the old channel in our way of living and our con duct with our fellowman. Changes are coming so fast now that an idea a month old may be ancient And they will keep coming until the majori- ty of humanity is somewhere near satisfied. Then we will all drop in a new sut.

Axes to Grind

The man who has an ak to
grind is always genial, bland and
kind, of sweetness he is full; and
he indorses all l say, however
far roam astray from truth
which is all wool. The friends
1 usually meet when I go bulg-
ing down the street their own
views entertain; and if 1 say
the day is grand when there is
rain to beat the band, they say
I've gone insane. And if l talk
of politics and stand up for lot
of hicks these friends of mine
detest, they say my dome is full
of bats, and prod me roundly in
the Stats until they spoil my vest.
l surely like the honest skate
who doesn't pause or hesitate at
speaking of his mind; but l dis
like the urbane gent who al
ways is in salaams bent, who has
an ak to grind. He is so passing
sweet this morn that l might
trample on his corp and he
would only smile; but l most
certainly will find what sort of
ak he has to grind, in just lit
tie while. Some day he'll grab
me by the coat and say he'd like
to have my vote, he needs it
forty ways; and when l gently
turn him down he'll shelve the
smile and spring a frowp and
hate me all his days.

Huns.
