sELF-PITY

Cheerfully conceited persons, although
irritating at times, are not always bad
companions; but there is never any plea
sure in the society of the dismally con-
ceited person, who is prone to condole with
himself for sights and failures, woes and
disappointments. Preoccupied with his
sorrows even when he keeps them to him
self, he diffuses dizziness and depression.
Of course there are persons afflicted
cruelty and tragically beyond the common
lot of man and their sadness can awaken
in their friends only hopeless, poignant
tenderness, but the habit of feeling sorry
for yourself usually has not the justifca-
ton of some tremendous and shattering
calamity, or of some overshadowing grief.
1t is traceable more often to selfish sem
sitiveness and morbid disregard of the
proportions of things.
The people who pity themselves most
keenly are generally callous to the troubles
of others. For the misfortunes, losses and
bercavements that occur in the homes of
their friends they are quick to find some
compensation.
Young persons who are becoming NOR
bidly self-centered might proftably take
up the study of astronomy. If they keep
before their minds for while the rather
awful fact that this earth is but as grain
of dust and that they themselves are but
as tiny atoms, they will acquire proper
humble mindedness and will cease to con-
slider even the heaviest of their burdens
as of enormous and vital Importance.
Then if they pass from the study of as
tronomy to that of humanity, they will ac-
quire a perspective for life. They will
have for the other hurrying, worrying
atoms more indulgence, sympathy or adj
miration, and less envy or bitterness. They
will know that whatever honors and sue
cesses some may gain and othrs fail of,
none can go through life without unhap-
piness and sorrow. And that thought will
awaken in them compassion wider and
deeper than any they feel for themselves;
they will want to do what they can to
make the bright aspects of the journey
still brighter for their companions; and
to that end they will strive always to
keep a cheerful spirit and courageous
heart.-Youth's Companion.

MOTHER GOOSE, PROPAGANDIST

Mother Goose has never had the recog-
milton which she deserves for the part she
has played in making the world unsafe
for anti-democracy.
A young fellow who will be four years
old by the time he is half year older,
asked me the other day just what crown
is. l explained that it is style of head
dress affected by kings, in their more for
NAL and regal moods and lenses.
He accepted the explanation so readily
that I wondered what he knew about
kings and asked him.
Kings, he told me, were persons who
stole things. They stole meal and made
buildings out of it. Queens were the same
as cooks.
Queens fry things for breakfast. He
had known about kings and their thew
ing propensities for long time. Kings
were the same as Arfurs. There was a
picture of king who was an Arfur in
his Mother Goose Book stealing a bag
of meal.
My own introduction to kings was the
same as this young persons. =. The
King Arthur in my Mother Goose Book
who stole three pecks of barley meal to
make bag pudding was the first king 1
ever knew. l am no Boshevst by tenn
permanent or trade, but to this day can
not think of kings as quite honest persons.
Even the jovial King Cole did not quite
reassure me with regard to kings; l
seemed to see something cunning in his
eye. While ostensibly occupied with his
pipe, his bowl, and his fddlers three, he
was likely thinking up some scheme to
purloin edibles. The king who sat in his
contingencies, counting out his money,
after having had the ur-and-twenty
black-brds baked within pie, all but
confirmed my youthful suspicion of kings
as a class. :. was sure that the money
really belonged to some one else; he
counted it, in the picture, with guilty
air. Possibly he had stolen the black
birds, to begin with.
Later, When 1 read Lanier's version of
the Arthurian legend, l was still unable
to Danish the thought of King Arthur as
fat rogue with sack of meal slung
over his shoulder and hang-dog eye be-
meath his crown.

seduction charge after the Garrison
girl had been acquitted Of murder on
the grounds of insanity and CON-
mitted as an insane person.
Stoors' statutory offense occurred
in Okanogan, where it was shown
that the Garrison girl Joined him,
leaving, Seattle for that purpose. The
main argument for the rehearing was
that Storrs used no inducement aad
that the girl came to Okanogan ON
her own free will at time when she
was of legal age.
Justice J. b. Bridges wrote the
supreme court affirmation of Storrs
conviction. supported by Chief JUS
tice O. R. Holcomb and Supreme Jus.

dissented.

OLYMPIA LIBRARY HAS INTER-
EsTING BOOKS FOR FARMERS
Miss Saterthwaite Suggests Sixteen
Books for Profitable Reading
During the Winter.

ing privileges to rural residents of

of Olympia, according to Miss Sat
terthwa!te. librarian. The farmers
most favorable time to make use OF
library facilities comes during the
winter months, is the opinion of the
librarian, who gives the following
| reasons:
The farmer Is busy man; when
he comes to town he generally l ayes
his team or his automobile lust long
enough to make his purchases or to
sell his stock of eggs and butter, and
hurries home to his work awaiting
him. At night his body is SO weary
that the mental faculties refuse to
respond to ideas from printed page,
and so beyond glance thru the paper
he takes little for mind nourishmenr
winter time on the farm affords
more leisure for study. The long
winter evenings are gold mine to
the farmer desiring home short
course in agriculture. Does he realize
the value of the Public Library in
helping him with his work? We be-
lieve not, or many more would take
advantage Of the library privileges.
Why not take little extra time when
in town, go to the Public Library and
see what they have on subjects that
interest you? Books may be borrow
ed for two weeks and renewed or
returned by mail. Besides books
along agricultural lines there are
magazines and government pamph-
lets which may also be borrowed"
The Olympia Thurston County Pub.
lie Library has many good books on
subjects Of interest to the farmer,
such as; Farmer and the New Day,
Butterfield; Effective Farming, Samp-
son; High Cost of Living, Howe;
Farm and Garden Rule Book, Bailey;
Productive Vegetable Growing, Lloyd:
Productive Orcharding, Sears; Straw
berry Growing, Fletcher; Dairy Cattle

ing Money from Hens, Lewis; Keep.
