Coed Work Done BY Those Who Dis
Hike II, and Want to Get
Through and Rest.

The best work is done by the lazy
people who want to get through and
rest.
The Industrious. active body, busy
IS bee, and always at It. is very IL
able to become a putterer.
Mark Twain called attention to the
fact that the ant. to whom the sage
recommended the sluggard to go.
spends most of his energy In running
around like a drunken Indian.
The great humorist hated to move (;
he used to give the boy In the print
Ing office nickel to sweep around
him. so that he would not have to take
his feet off the table. At seventy he
confessed that "aI exercise Is loath-
some"
Laziness is not good in itself; but
when joined to conscientiousness and
sense of responsibility. as 1t often
Is, 1t Is the very best worker.
The worlds work is done by those
who do not like It. Nine persons out
Of ten would quit what they are do
Ing If they could.
At the very beginning Of Arnold
Benefits novel, "Hilda Lessways," lie
q luminous bit Of philosophy:
"Hllda hated domestic work, and
because she hated It she often did Il
passiOnately and thoroughly"

Frank Crane, in Farm Life.

Gn,sW. ~
Rsrk Twain on Conscience.

There is on record a conversation
that Mark Twain had with Kipling, In
which the former discoursed on the
conscience. The story is told by Kip
ding. He reports Twain as saying:
"A conscience is like q child. If you
pet Il. and play with 1t and let 1t have
everything that it wants 1t becomes
spoiled and intrudes on all your amuse-
pnents and most of your griefs. Treat
your conscience as you would treat
anything else. When it rebels spank
St-be severe with 1t, prevent Its COM
ing to play with you at all hours, and
You will secure good conscience;
that is to say, a properly trained one.
A spoiled one simply destroys the
pleasures Of life. l think that | have
reduced mine to order. At least I have
mot heard from it for some time. Per
haps / have killed it from severity.
Its wrong to kill child, but in spite
Of all have said conscience differs
from a child in many ways. Perhaps
at'G best when 1t is dead"

The Crows Voice.

The crow is one of the most widely
disliked Of birds. His reputation is
bad, and is probably deserved.
No matter how long you study the
crow, you will always have something
to learn, and at the end Of all your
study he will know more about you
than you will about him. At times It
seems as if he knew what you were
thinking about.
The crow has large variety Of
notes or calls, and each one seems to
be the harshest in all bird vocalism
until the next one is sounded, which
is a little harsher. He is an accom-
plished bird, and intelligent. If tanned,
he can be taught many things, but
never to be good He Is a natural
thief, aud cannot be reformed.

Need for Eternal Vinllance.

eve first make our habits and then
our habits make u.s. said an unknown
sage. In other words, what we are
at this moment, chat we can do at this
moment depends not only upon max
ms up our minds at the time being,
but also upon how we have made up
our minds countless other times In
thousands of minutes already gone by
and now out of our control. The one
thing we cannot control Is the past
1t may, however, control US for good
or for evil. The fact that we should
remember ia forming habits is that our
minds and hearts are the meeting
ground Of strange conflicts; that good
and bad in us Sre making opposite
suggestions; that each is striving for
the mastery; and t1Iat sometimes we
are so self-deluded that the bad may
seem to be the good. At any hour the
beginnings Of vicious habit, perhaps
through the suggestion of someone
else or by our own carelessness, indif-
ference, or faults, may find their way
into our hearts. The price we must
pay for continually proving and pos
sessing the good Is eternal vigilance.

Discouraged Aids to Beauty.

In the day of Louis XIV LaBruyere
wrote this: IF women only desire to
be beautiful in each others eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ca
price or taste as to the way in which
they dress and adOrn themselves; but
IL they desire to please men, if it is
to charm them they rouge and paint.
/ can assert in the name of mankind,
or at least of those men whose votes
| have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hideous that
1t is as disgusting to see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
In their mouths and waxen balls to
puff out their thin cheeks; and that far
from countenancing it, men sOlemnly
protest against all such arts, which in
fallibly tend to cure them of love-"
The wonder arises if LaBruyere
spoke only for the men Of his time.

SUBIHERN MUNtl
FOR SOUTHERN NEEiHf
Great Drive of the Y, NJ. G. A
For an All-Southern
Program.

Beginning on October 20, and con
tinuing for ten days, there will be
pressed in all the southern states,
simultaneous campaign to raise tho
funds necessary for the work Of the
Y. M. G. A. throughout the southern
states.
This work has been enlarged and
extended by reason OF changed condt
tions that are brought about as re
suit OF the war. The Y. NJ. G. A. has
determined to do everything that II
possibly can to reach the men and to
throw around them wholesome and
stimulating influence. This necessi
tates a considerable increase in the
working force of the state committee;
that, Of course, means more money
must be had, and more vigorous
campaign must be prosecuted to 50
cure the needed funds.
For several weeks there has been
sent out from Nashville much litera
ture explaining the work Of the Asso
citation, defending it against the crit
icism that has been made concerning
its war activities and showing the
necessity for en- increased budget foi
work at home. This literature haa
been sent to the leaders Of Christian
effort in all the various communities
Of the state and now after they have
had time to read and consider the ap
peal that has been made. they are
asked to put some of their dollars
into an investment for men.
The work contemplated includes the
regular work of the Association
through its buildings and -.lso an ex
tension to the rural communities
through its organized county work
1t also endeayors to reach the work
ing men in the factories and mines
and railroad centers. 1t is also put
ting on a complete boys work" pro
gram looking to the high schools and
colleges Of the state.
The boys work is one of the strong
features Of the program of the "Y"
and through. the competent leadership
of experts, everything is being done
that Is possible to help the boy in the
critical time of his life decision. One
OF the great features Of the boys work
Is the establishment OF three boys
camps where the boys of the state
can be brought together for vacations
under wholesome and inspiring influ
ence. A camp will be located in each
one Of the three sections Of the state
and each camp will be equipped with
proper athletic and other supplies.
Tennessee has never failed on any
OF its campaigns for the Y. M. c. A
yet. Of course it is not to be thought
Of that this campaign shall end in any.
thing except complete success. II
is an opportunity for the people of Ten
nessee to show their appreciation OF
their manhood and they will use the
opportunity to the fullest extent.
The counties are being organized
and special committees will call upon
the citizenship for their contribution.
and the response is sure to be liberal

A BOY SAVED, is A MAN MADE

Perhaps the strongest feature Of
the Y. M. C. A. program is its effort
to put boys on the right track and to
keep them going in the strong, vigor-
GUS manhood No other organization
is doing for the boys of America just
what is being done by the Y. M. C. A.
Anyone interested in the boys Of
the country should literally support
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in its efforts for them.
