MENTAL PARALYSIS
BY ROGER w. BABSoN.

On my way to Boston the other
day, sat with delightful old chap.
He is a Civil War veteran and a
business man. He is still actively
managing his own concern. We
talked about several things and then
1 asked him to tell me the most
important thing he had learned dur
ing his sixty years in business. -
We'll" he answered. i've had a
powerful lot of trouble. I've got
white-headed and wrinkled worry
ing about it. But when I got to
thinking about it the other day l
found that ninety five per cent OF
this trouble never happened"
There you have it from veteran!
Don't worry.
Psychologists furnish two more
good reasons. To begin with,
Imagination is a magnifying glass
that always makes things look
better or worse than they really
are when they happen. The cloud
always looks blacker in the distance.
Then, too, the minute you begin to
fret or worry, the creative construc-
tion part of your brain stops cold
and is as useless as thought it were
paralyzed until you get into positive
optimistic frame of mind again.
Finally, there are only two kinds
of things to worry about: those you
can help and those you can't help.
If you can help it, stop frettng and
get to work. If you can't help 1t,
worrying won't do any good any
way.

"'TAINT MY cow"
BY DIR. JAMES I VANCE.

Ones culture is measured by the
range of his interest.
They were loading cattle on a
Mississippi steamboat. Some negro
roustabouts were doing the job,
They were a rough and jolly bunch
of plantation darkies. They were
driving the poor beasts mercilessly
up the chute, twisting their tails,
crowding them over, under, and
through, dragging them on their
sides, beating, punching; and
through all their maddening cruelty
to the dumb cattle, chanting in uni
son a song, the refrain of which was:
"a 'Tain't my cow"
What difference did it make how
they loaded the beasts? What If a
horn was torn off, or a leg broken,
or a poor beast trampled to death ?
90 'Tain't my cow" There was no
money out of their pockets. They
were just roustabouts. They would
draw the same pay whether the
and the pay was as wide as their in
terest ranged.
'Tain't my cow" They gave
themselves away. The brutes were
not the cattle being loaded. They
were the cattle loading. If the cows
could have talked out their mind
what a damning arraignment of the
human beast they could have made,
But these Negroes are not alone
There are people who affect the
highest culture, but whose standard
is Grass selfishness. They not only
treat cows that way. They do moi
hesitate to treat their fellowmen tina
way. Their range of interest end
with the radius of the ego. Tain
my cow!"
They are not civilized. They dral
into trade and social life the creeC
of the jungle. Their manners arr
faultless and their dress fashionable
but their hearts have never beef
born again.
The Golden Rule is the sine qu;
lnon of a gentleman. 1t is the goal o
true chivalry. People who hav'
real culture espouse the cause o
the weak. They are not wanton.
The skyline alone limits their rang
of interest.
