On Vanity-Boy, it gives me consid-

tance. For rs l see life it is no par:
ticular credit to the duck that Swims,
or to the songbird that sings; where
fore should the young man who has
been endowed with brains make boast
that he Uses them? That which is
natural to man should in no way be
made to appear unnatural.
Don't strut and pose, as one that is
better than another. For in what is
natural to YOU, you may excel, but
what is natural to another would
make YOU appear ridiculous. The ac-
tor bOasting because he acts would
be like a fish making much OF the
fact that he can live under water,
Take this tip from mc-take pride

one thing to deserve praise, bal an
other to insist on getting it. And keep
this truth forever in mind, since one
man is given the gift to play the vi"-
lin, and another 10 write and another
to paint and still others are endowed
with strength for heavy tasks, and
others 10 lay, brick for houses, he who
does his best in The work he is fitted

been given out when it is said that
his voice was inaudible. My own
hearing is imperfect. and 1 could
hear everything he said. He greeted
quite a number of US whonY he knew
by name. and had some kindly word
for all. His voice was firm and clear,
and the old light that we remember
was upon his face. In reading, his
voice was natural and strong at the
beginning of the paragraphs, but at
the end of each paragraph, if it was
long, his voice grew feeble. Then
he would start out again clearly. His
voice has not gone.

The time will come when we shall

Mr.#Hoit's statement on Wednes4

left the White House, was as follows:
".The members of the. deputation
were deeply touched by the physical
appearance of the president, who re-
ceived them sitting and plainly show
ed the effects of his long illness and
the tremendous strain which he has
been carrying. He read from "a
manuscript his reply to the address
of the deputation and was greatly
moved as he did so.
More than once his voice chokea,
especially when he referred to the
soldier boys and the mothers of
those who had fallen in battle. 1t
was evident that he was voicing the
profoundcst emotions Of his, heart.
The whole occasion was incXprcssibly
solemn and tender
''It was evident that the prcsi-
dents intellectual powers were in no
Way impaired, but the dcputation felt
that it was nothing less than tragic
that the great president of the United
States should have been brought to
such a stricken physical condition as
the result of his indcfatigable labors
for his country and for humanity.
