anybody. She lives serenely on, SO
afflicted with unlovely, mushy religion
that It gives one an uncomfortable, I'M
healthy feeling to stay long under the
damp shade Of her ideals.
I,II Take Mine STRAIGHT.

One Of the strongest women / ever
knew-strong mentally and morally
said once: Il like a man who takes
his religion in the light of a tonic. He
isn't afraid Of hanging a chair down
hard when he feels in the humor and
he can speak the devils name with
emphasis and not softly as though the
red-horned gentleman were a person
to besrespected. He doesn't go around
so softly that even the cat is unaware
of his presence and when he does any
thing he does it straight from the
shoulder Just as It ought to be done
with great deal Of fine, dry humor
and vast quantities of virile energy.
He is a man OF quick decisions one
who knows in moment what should
be done. He is q man Of pure honor
and one who never lies. He possesses
infinitely more sin possibilities than
the man Of puny caliber but he is mas
ter Of his own life, driving passions
which sweep like heavy winds, into
gradually decreasing gusts OF soul sat
isfying omplishment.D
