BROKE AWAY FROM POVERTY
Successful Men, ssrn Poor, Soon Be-
gar. to Hustle for the Highly =,
Desirable Maxuna.

Somewhere in the obituary Of almost
every successful American you win
md this sentence: HE began life a
poor boy"
Our great men seem TO have had a
positive genius for picking out poor
parents. Although poverty mt birth Is
looked upon as an asset rather than Il
liability, most successful Americans
Notwithstanding the tremendous ed
vantage poverty gave them. began to
hustle for riches before their milk
teeth had fallen out.
Being born poor may be an asset,
but 1t becomes liability II you stay
that way. When you are a pink, stub.

pillow and exhibited to the neighbors
you are fortunate IL poor. but a great
deal more unfortunate II you remain
so.
Most of the men who have succeed.
ed In getting their names In the Unit
ca States histories, in public libraries
and on cigar labels selected parents
who were constantly humping into peo-
pic on the streets to whom they owed
money, but the greatness Of these men
WAS displayed In the neatness and dis
patch with which they succeeded in
leaving something more substantial
for their own children than pink com.
plexlons and waiting lists Of creditors.

In Uaddy's Heart.

AT Sunday school Dorothy's teacher
attempted TO explain to the children
about keeping their hearts clean and
filed with certain desirable qualities
She urged them TO think seriously
about what they had in their hearts.
Dorothy's hand went up. The teacher
gave her permission to speak.
"My daddy has nutpicks In his
heart"
Now the teacher WAS sufficiently In
ferested In the psychology Of the thing
TO go to the mother for the explana-
ton. Dorothy had recently attended
wedding with her parents. When
they we're looking at the wedding pres
ents her mother had laughingly turned
to daddy and said.
"John, | wish you would open up
your heart and give me a handsome
set OF nutpicks like these"

WHEN PEACE CAME
Oppressive Silence Followed the
Great Crash.
Hard at First to Realize That the
carnaps Of Fsur Dreadful Years
Had Ended--Huns Defeated
but unrepentant.

With q silence like that which fol-
lows the mighty crash OF great Or
gau. the great war came suddenly TO
an end. No longer do the weary sol
diers at listening posts strain their
ears through long night watches; star
shells have ceased to burst and flame
over No Mans land; cannons have
cooled; machine guns utter no SOUND;
the exchange Of all manner of deadly
missiles has stopped. AT last peace,
which for four slow, dreadful years
has seemed afar of like mirage, has
come. The thousand and one activi'
ties Of battle, intense TO the last ounce
of possible human effort, are relaxed.
Ships now cross the ocean in safety:
smoke from thousands OF ammunition
plants no longer darkens the SKY;
tired workers return once more to
their homes; armies are demobilizing;
reconstruction Of devastated homes
aud farms and factories Is contem-
plated; the dreadful military debauch
has consumed itself; the world draws
q great sigh Of exhaustion and relief;
the conflict is ended.
In all history no message ever sped
so gladly nor so fast as the few words
flashed through the air, and under
oceans, and over land wires, until
around the whole world and 10 its Ut
termost accessible parts the news was
carried. What wonder that all ciyiliza-
ton gave vent 10 frenzy Of JOY al
| most barbaric, that men shouted and
women wept; and little children Wit
messed an event which threescore
| years and ten hence they will relate to
other wide-eyed children. In our JOY
let US not forget those millions OF IA
Tiers whose voices refused 10 cheer,
and those mothers and wives and
sweethearts whose eyes were dry be-
cause their hearts were bowed down
with a sorrow no victory can ever COM
pensate.
The Huns ceased only when physi-
cally exhausted when their ammuni'
ton was spent; when the war had
reached their own borders; when they
no longer possessed the ability TO MUIR
der the defenseless, to gas the brave.
Their regret is that they failed, but
not one single word of penitence for
the harm they have done. the sorrow
they have caused. Instead they think
only Of their bellies and demand, not
supplicate. ths food they have so wan
tonly destroyed for years; they whine
lest the very ears they stole from
, France and Belgium be returned to
their rightful owners. They have been
beaten in what was for nearly four
years al unequal struggle but for ans
: word which has yet TO come out oil
Germany they are the same unpgen
| crate Huns who. casting aside all Tia,
r obligations OF civilized nation
| marched into Belgium in August, 1914
