teachers, officers and adult B1Pie
classes of the Congregational Sunday
school gave a reception In the rooms
of the church which have lately been
furnished for hostess rooms, IN hon
or of two of our very faithful work
ers, Mrs. Deva Mason and Mrs. Leafa
Upholt who are very soon tc leave
our city. II.
The evening was spent in music and
games TO the great pleasure OF all.
During which time Mr.. Hockstad
made very pleasing address OF fare
well, referring TO the excellence and
faithfulness Of the work done in the
past years by the guests Of honor and
reg ct at their leaving. With his
closing remarks he presented each
with a simple rift which he believed
would be used often and hoped would
be a remembrance Of the Sunday
school to each Of their families each
time used.
Suitable replies were made ex-
pressive of deep regret at the neces-
sity Of leaving the city and the
church and all the friends and Gods
blessing was invoked.
Afterwards light REFRESHMENTS
were served and the company broke
up expressive of their delight with
such social gatherings and a demand
for more with the exceptions of fare
wells.

town, litter and disorder must be re-
moved from the rear as we'll as from

One of the most needed spring i'm
prcvements is to grow new turf in
grass plots that are thin or worn out

grounds. One great difficulty is that
so many people cut corners across
such plots and spoil their appear

NOW WE MAY KNOW BOSWELL
Description Of 5lographer, Written by
HimseIf, Reveals Him 40
Very Human.

How pleasant it is to know that
Boswell, who we have always thought
was merely kind fsanimated note

warm-hearted creature, a good deal Of
a Pepys, In fact, says Golfers Weekly.

ume of essays which shows that a
business man can write better litera-
ture thaa hundred professors mulled
into one, makes Boswell very human |
How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote
press notices about himself Here Is
one Of his own blurbs, which we
quote from Mr.. Newton's book:
Boswell, the author, is a most ex-
cellent man; he Is Of an ancient fam
fly In the west Of Scotland, upon which
he values himself not little. At his
nativity there appeared omens Of his
future greatness. His parts are bright,
and his education has been good. He
has Travelled in post chaises miles
without number. He is fond of seeing
much of the world. He eats Of every
good dish, especially apple pie. He
drinks old hook. He has a very fine
temper. He is somewhat Of humor-
list and little tinctured with pride
He has a good, manly countenance
IND he owns himself to be amorous. he
has infinite vivacity, yet is observed al
times to have melancholy cast. He
is rather fat than lean, rather shori
than tall, rather young than old. His
shoes are neatly made. and he never
wears spectacles."
This brings the excellent Boswell
very very close to us indeed; he NIGH

league. Especially apple pie, bless hi
heart.

Duty.


It has been asked what IL at the
present day the Duty Of which we
have spoken so much? A complete re-
ply would require volume, but may
suggest it in few words. Duty con-
sists of that love of God and man
which renders the life of the individ-
ual the representation and expression
Of all that he believes to be the truth,
absolute or relative. Duty is progress
sive, as the evolution Of truth; 1t Is
modified and enlarged with the ages ;
it changes its manifestations accord
ing to the requirement Of times and
circumstances. :. One period claims
the pen of the sage. another requires
the sword Of the hero. But here, and
everywhere. the source Of this is God
and his law-its object, humanity
its guarantee, the mutual responsible
ity of men-its measure, the intellect
of the individual and the demands of
the peraod-its limits, power.-Maz-
zini.

Chinese Woman Eneoffin.d Alive.

An unusual case of filial ingratitude
is reported from Huchow, China, In
the Tokyo (Japan) Advertiser. A very
aged woman lived with her sons fam
lily, who were so poor that they did
not have necessary food. To reduce
expenses, the son. forgetting his coun-
try's traditions regarding flial piety,
conceived Of disposing Of his aged
mother. he secured a coffin, placed
his mother therein, without protest on
her part. nailed on the cover and de-
posted the CONN In a vacant lot.
Neighbors informed the police. and the
coffin was taken to the station house,
where 1t was opened. The woman was
still breathing, and when removed
asked: "Why did you disturb met /
am a burden to my son and do not
want to live. Please put me back in
the box and let me die" The request
was refused, and officials are detain-
ing both mother and son in the va
men awaiting a judicial disposition Of
the case.

WORRY "C0NDIMENT OF LIFE"
A Little Of II Excellent, but It Must
Not Be Enduring or
Excessive.

Unless a man has a little worry
apathy, Indifference and the mechan-
ical physical disinclination to do your
utmost without stunt will be lacking.
Without this condiment of life, this
salt of the human cosmos, 1--WE see to
what absurd yet tragic physical
lengths he is driven by the whip Of
that still vigorous tyrant, his self
instinct to fight" This thrilling force,
which one time had been used square
-ly and successfully against the real
world enemy, is now absorbed In
trivial and self-debasing skirmishes
with the grotesque bolsheviki Of his
Imagination.
In other words, If man has va
riety Of anxious explosive outlets via
his muscles and intellect, such as driv-
ing, tennis, swimming, dancing, compe-
tition, golf and the like, these act as
safety valves for the multitude of I'M
pulses and reactions (which habit and
custom have compressed out Of his
external activities.
Worry is one of these, If not endur-
ing or excessive. For the average man
set in society, in work and In his fam
lily circle 1t takes the place Of larger
and better outlets for his destroyed
initiative.

MAKE VICTORY LOAN
+; AN OLD AGE PROP
Young Mans Chance TO Evade
. MIddIe-Llfe Dependency.

Any young man who will take a
minute to study the tables upon which
insurance companies base their risks
will find therein an incentive for
making he biggest possible investment
In the Victory Liberty Loan
The tables were compiled to enable
insurance men to get reliable death
rate averages. But in their prepare
ton very interesting facts were also
established bearing upon the earning
capacity and ultimate fortunes of the
subjects kept under observation.
1t should point moral to every
young man to learn that in one hun
dred cases upon which are based
many important Insurance figures, only
five of the subjects died possessed of
sufficient means to pay for their own
funerals.
hundred men Of good health and
standing, aged twenty-five years, were
selected. Their careers were follow
ed through life. At the age Of As
sixteen were dead, fifteen were no
longer self-supporting. sixty-five were
still able to work but had no other
means of support than their wages,
and only four were wealthy.
Think of It'll Only four per cent
OF these young men, who started In
the prime Of life under the same cir
cumstances, In the same town, with
the same health and the same oppor-
tunities, reached the age of As with
means to enable them to face with
confidence the downhill path of de-
elining years.
At So years thirty were dependent
upon children, relatives or charity. At
65 only ten Of . them, including the
four wealthy men, were still self
supporting. And at rs. sixty-three Of
the original 100 were dead without
leaving any estate and all of the
Others. excepting the few possessing
wealth, were supported by their chill
dren, their relatives or by charity.
These are no imaginary instances
but hard, matter-of-fact illustrations
upon which the biggest insurance COM
panies Of the country stake their re-
sources
The is a wonderful sermon to
yOune men in this little story. 1t is
tax from the Book of Life and it
prea IS Thrift. Unless the habit of
saving is acquired In youth the pros
poets Of reaching old age with COM
petenoe are very poor.
No BE- tier means of saving is offered
to the young men of the country than
that presented by the Victory Liberty
Loan. You can share in the loan on
the easiest terms imaginable. In buying
you will be taking the first step
toward providing for your old age.
Perhaps 1t may be the foundation of
q fortune
Take heed of the unfortunate ex-
periences OF others. The law of av-
erages never goes wrong. 1t has point
ed an infallible moral In the case of
che one hundred young men of in
surancs study and observation.
