To try to take short cut to sue

To sacrifice family and reputation,
to ruin the future Of your children,
for the sake of trying to get living
in questionable way ?
To leave school for the sake of get

and then find yourself cramped and
handicapped the rest of your life for
the lack of a proper education and

To jam yourself through college,

To squander your life forces, to so

To lose the respect of everyone that

NO. 2 IN BIBLE HISTORY.

Boston Globe: The number seven
has always had a peculiar signifi-
canoe. On the seventh day of the
seventh month holy observance was
ordained to the children of Israel, who
feasted in tents. The seventh year
was supposed to be Sabbath, or rest
for all, and at the end of seven times
seven there was to be jubilee. ia
cob served seven years to win Rachel
for his wife. Noah had seven days
warning of the flood. Nebuchadnez-
Ear lived seven years as a beast.
Christ spoke seven times from the
cross on which he hung seven hours.
In scripture there are seven resurrec-
tions mentioned.
In the Lords prayer there are sew
en- petitions. There were seven mys-
teries Of the apocalypse revealed to
the seven churches in Asia. In Rev.
alation there is described seven lambs
before the seven spirits of God, seven
golden candlesticks, book with sew
en- seals, seven angels with seven
trumpets, seven plaques, seven walls
Of wrath, seven kings, seven thunders
and dragon with seven heads.

THINGS WHICH ENRICH LIFE


You thought it was a cruel fate
which tied you hand and foot in pow
erty and kept you working to support
your dependent parent or you invalid
wife and children, when you were am
bilious to write book or to put upon
canvas the picture which haunted your
dreams. But this very discipline un-
der straitened circumstances, this
wearing struggle to just get along
all the disappointments and obstacles
were the fertilizers which enriched
the. soil of your life and made the
luxurious blossoms and the delicate
fruitage of your later career possible,
What seem to be stumbling blocks
often prove, later in life, to be step
ping stones. The humdrum drudgery
of life, the disagreeable details which
chafe us. and from which we try to
get away. are often our best school,
masters. Their drill and discipline,
although hard ana painful at the
time, prove our greatest educators
and benefactors, without which, per.
haps, we never could have done the
thing we longed to do.

THERE is NO CHANGE IN
THE STORES OF MEXICO

The most persistent phrase encount-
cred by buying public in Mexico at
present is "No hay cambio," "there
is no change" The silver in the Mex
can peso, 50-cent piece and the small
er coins, is worth more than the face
value Of the coin, so this money has
been boarded by many persons, and
sold for their silver contents.
The result is that "cambio" or
change has disappeared and persons
who buy or sell are forced to pay from
4 to per cent for silver pieces from
brokers'. Most merchants refuse to
make small sales if they are forced
to give change, asserting they would
lose money in the transaction.
The "azteca" or Mexican 2O-peso
piece (gold) is practically useless as
money in stores or cafes when the
purchase is for small amount.
II might as well be broke as have
an azteca," complained an American
who was hungry and could not find a
cafe to change his gold. Later he hit
upon unique scheme. He deposited
the "azteca" with the cafe proprietor
and proceeded to eat at intervals until
he had no more credit, which with
prevailing prices was not long time.

WORK NOT AN AFFLICTIoN.

OHly 1OOlS ana nOrSeS work., IS
a quotation often used and believed
by the constitutionally lazy, who seem
to regard work as an affliction. This
spirit seems to permeate in some union
quarters. But when we turn to facts
we find them different, for the hap
piest people are those that get up and
go to work The idle rich and the
idle loafers are dangerous classes.
The people that work when they feel
like it, or not at all, are mostly trouble
seekers-and finders, too. If you are
not too old and stubborn, get away
from the delusion that labor is mis-
fortune. The leaven of this life is
work. Contentment is a by-product
of work. There is more pleasure in
earning dollar than spending one,
yet many talk as if they believed the
contrary. Work is preferable to va
cationizing and far more profitable,
but there are some in our midst who
hate to admit this. Cultivate the
spirit Of cheerfulness and content
ment. There is too much Of the spirit
of unrest in evidence. Be careful that
you do nothing to encourage this rest
lessness. While work is plentiful
and wages good, word of caution
may be timely: Now is the time to
save Of your surplusto take care of
yourself when work is dull or you are
unable to work. No, work is not an
affliction. William Bradburn, of St.
Louis, in the Typographical Journal.

the borders of the New Forest, is one
of the many great English estates now

in the midst of $500 acres, noted for

how good is the wild fowl shooting
on the five lakes of the property, and
the fishing also is first rate.

IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN
MAYBE IT'S you

If you want to live in the kind of
town
Like the kind Of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-
hind,
For there's nothing that's really
It's knock at yourself wheen you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else get ahead.
When everyone works and no one
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
stake,
Your neghbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see, it isn't your town, it's you.
