THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
BE ON TIME.

Some people act as if they were
always just few minutes behind
time. If they could catch up, their
lives would be serene. But they
never do catch up. Breathlessly they
go through the day as if in pursuit
of a phantom. Often they live I'M
der a great nervous tension. At the
end of the day they are exhausted.
One hears them speak as if they
were subjected to great trials, in
GLIDING overwork. But, as mat
ter of fact, the trouble lies wholly
within themselves. If they would
only calm down and so do quietly
and serenely what they have to do
life would take on a wholly different
aspect for them, becoming, instead of
a torment, a source of peace and hap
piness.
There are those who seem to be
afraid of being ahead of time. If they
made an appointment they can't en-
dure keeping it promptly. They hate
to be on hand minute or two in
advance. That minute or two is too
precious. They must not be waste.
full. Besides, in the interval, what
would they do? The thought of idly
waiting is distressing. And yet such
people are nearly always wasteful of
time. They do a good deal of idling.
What is more serious, by being late,
they keep others waiting and en-
crOach on time not their own More
over, when they arrive they are likely
to be in state Of nervous excitement
which is not at all pleasant
Be on time. Have system. Do your
work in an orderly manner. Let today
take care of today. Plan ahead.
Keep things in order. So you will
have plenty of time to attend to every
duty. You will neither be rushed nor
too late.

A FABLE OF THE ARABS.

companion; he felt that the tent was
not large enough for both. IF you
are Inconvenience, you may leave"
said the camel. "As for myself, l
shall stay where am"
The moral of this fable is that who
ever yields in the slightest degree to
a bad habit is in danger of being en-
tirely overcome by it. We must not
allow even the cameIs nose to come
in.

GEMS FROM LINCOLN.

DON'T KNOCK.

Now, what's the use of hammerin',
When a feller's down, and stammerin'
All the things he did, and didn't do,
and don't;
Just take him by the hand and say,
Cheer up old pal, what's wrong
today?
And meet him with smile and
pleasant front.
There's enough to do the knocking
And exclaim, Oh my, how shocking, y
Did you hear that Mr.. So-and-So fell
through?
IT'S friend of course who tells it,
And another friend who swells it,
It's a volume when the story
reaches you.
Just take this tip; the rifle
Which aims at every trifie,
May kick, mon cher ami, and shoot
your way;
We all must taste earth's sorrow,
But for each there comes morrow,
When the under dog" will surely
have his day.

SAY SOMETHING GOOD.

Pick out the folks you like the least
and watch 'em for a while;
They never waste kindly word they
never waste smile;
They criticize their fellowmen at
every chance they get;
They never found a human Just to
suit their fancy yet.
From them 1 guess you'd learn some
things, if they were pointed out,
Some things that every one of us
should know lot about.
When some one knocks" a brother,
pass around the loving cup,
Say something good about him, if
you have to make it up.
It's safe to say that every man God
made holds trace of good
That he would fain exhibit to his fell
lows if he could;
The kindly deeds in many soul are
alternating there,
Awaiting the encouragement of other
souls that dare
To show the best that's in them and
a universal move
Would start the whole world moving
in hopeful, helpful groove.
Say something sweet to paralyze the
'knocker' on the spot.
Speak kindly of his victim if you
know the man or not.

WATCH FOR YOUR CHANCES.

Every young man has chances COM
ing his way constantly; it is not a
question of having chances, but of
recognizing chances when they come, "
says President Bedford of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey. you
sometimes hear fellow say, I had a
chance once, but didn't take it.. Never
mind the chance that is past; watch
out for the next one and qualify to be
able to seize it.
Success that is worth while is,
after all, very largely matter of
plain, everyday morality combined
with tremendous industry and a de-
served reputation for integrity and
for fairness toward the other fellow"

For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
