UNNOTED HEROES

There are heroes who have never
Heard the fearful din Of battle,
Heroes who, unknown forever
Labor where the sabres rattle;
There are heroes who are giving
Joy to others day by day,
Who are making life worth living
Just by earning honest pay.
There are heroes uncomplainlng,
Who are striving daily, yearly
So the goals we would be gaining
May each morning shine more
clearly;
There are heroes unrewarded,
Who by toiling late and long
In surroundings which are sordid
Help the luckless to be strong.
There are heroes, with wan faces
Who uplift their fallen brothers
Heroes who in lowly places,
Labor for the love of others.
Why not pause sometimes to cheer
them
For the courage they reveal?
Why not willingly revere them
For their patience and ther zeal

EXCELLENCE ALWAYS
COMMANDS ATTENTION

A young woman went to large
city to obtain a position. She had a
letter of introduction to prominent
man and after she had gained admis-
sion to his presence, she attempted to
recall herself to his memory. "Prob-
ably you don't remember me, Mr.. M,
but three years ago l was one of a
party who spent the night in an old
farmhouse, because the rain rendered
it impossible for us to go on. And
half an hour after We had taken shell
ter there, you and your party arriv-
ed"
The big man remembered the incl
dent, but he did not remember his in
terviewer. His face told her that.
She made one or two more efforts to
recall herself to him and suddenly he
started. "Now I know" he said. ~
know perfectly. You're the girl who
made the biscuits"
The girl blushed. eyes, / made bis
cults then,' she replied, but l don't
want to make them now. l want
something very different"
every likely, very likely. But at
the same time, they were the best
biscuits l ever tasted. Now tell me
what l can do for you" All the for
mality in his manner was gone. He
was interested. And it was due to
his influence that the girl was given a
chance to realize her ambitions.
Excellence makes an impression. In
this world where mediocrity is so
common, where haf-hearted effort
produces inferior results, one who can
do anything admirable is sure of at
tention. 1t is not necessary to do big
things, for the little things are needed,
too. The world wants skyscrapers,
but it also wants mousetraps. 1t
needs ocean liners, and it needs bis
cults. 1t demands art galleries and
it demands flower beds.

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

On Armistice Day a British
soldier, one of those buried un-
identified on the field of honor
and sacrifice, was reinterred with
fit pomp in Westminster Abbey
among the great of centuries. On
the same day the body of one of
the nameless heroes who at Ver-
dun made good with his life the
pledge, "They shall not pass !" was
taken to Paris in special train
and similarly reburied, that his
grave may be forever in the City
of Light a shrine of patriotism.
When Collins wrote his match
less ode, "How sleep the brave,
he had no recent heroisms to re-
cord save those of Culloden against
Scots or Fontenoy against French
men. In better cause, Freedom
shall awhile repair" to the Abbey
grave of IAN unknown soldier who
fought side by side with Scots
and Frenchmen that there should
be an end of war lords. Nor has
the lofty mausoleum that Paris
calls simply "The Tomb'-that OF
Napoleon-such austere beauty OF
significance as will surround this
later sepulchre of an unnamed
Frenchman.
The Unknown Soldier is OF
every land and race. He is the
American who swore to a resi-,
dence in Canada to enlist. He is
the Brazilian who went to fight
for France. He is the Pole OF
Czech or Alsatian who slippeo
across the frontier to take ur
eager arms against the tyrant. He
| is the volunteer Greek of Veni'
zelos, the Gurkha from the East
the New Zealand Mario, the
American Indian. A plain mar
and lowly, he died to make the
world better for plain people like
himself and his loved ones. 1t is
we'll that shrine shall be reared
in his memory. Better yet will il
be if the statesmen of the worle
do not forget the end for which he
paid so dear.-New York World.

THE LESSON TAUGHT BY
THE RUMMAGE SALE

Did you ever attend one? Here
on table is Browns silk hat that
he wore to church many years and
now that he's gone it has been
sent by his family to the rummage
sale to be disposed of for the ben
eft of the church.
And there on the counter is an
old china pug dog that used to
guard the mantelpiece in some
body's house. And on a rack hangs
the Prince Albert coat that some
fellow wore when he was married
and which his wife kept as a treas
ured things through the years;
now she has given it away because
the sentiment that attached to it
is dead and has fluttered away
like last years leaf.
They are handy institutions,
these rummage sales, enabling
one, as they do, to give away for
good purposes what he no longer
needs or wants or cares for. He
holds on to such things a long
time and then one day he gets
tired seeing them around and
away they go to the rummage
sale, the secondhand store and
the rag shop.
But the rummage of minds and
characters most people hold on to
and cherish forever. To their
dying days they keep old and
wornout prejudices and fight hard
for them.
They hold and feed cankering
hates and envies as things of
great value, worth treasuring in
their hearts.
They keep fast to habits, know
ing they are bad, but lacking the
will or the courage to throw them
off.
They cast off only good resolu-
tions and intentions because they
interfere too much with comfort.
The next time you gather to-
gether your old clothes for the
rummage sale and you have pack
ed it all in one bundle, suppose
you say to yourself: Lets see
what have l left out? What else
is there that | ought to get rid of ~!
What passions, prejudices and
habits are littering up my mind
and character?"
You will not be able to get rio
of this rummage as easily as you
can dispose of your old clothes
but once having taken stock of il
you will know yourself better. The
first step of self-improvement is
to become acquainted with youl
defects.
II know everything except my
self" said the celebrated vaga
bond, Villon.

THE WEAVER OF RUGS

Beatrice Reynolds in N. Y. Herald
The Weaver of Rugs has dreamed
a dream
And brooded the summer
through;
With tender love he's plotted his
theme
And now His dreams come true.
He's spread His carpet over the
hills,
Soft is it's silken sheen
Of red and the color of daffodils,
Of rose and orange and green.
And patch of blue rejecting
there
The color of autumn skies;
The pattern vague, but beyond
compare
Are these clear, mysterious dyes.
dyes.
Its knotted warp in the ground
below
Holds close it's shimmering pile.
The Weaver of Rugs has dreamed
e it so,
And this is it's Makers smile.
The Weaver Of Rugs has dreamed

And brooded the summer

Over the forest, field and stream

STATISTICS SHOW
GROWING APPRECIATION
OF EDUCATION

The statistics of education show
that in the year 1890 only 9120
teachers were employed in the
high schools of the United States.
Today high school teachers num-
Der more than $1,000.
The difference between 9120
and $1,000 high school teachers,
graphically measures Americas
material and spiritual expansion
during the past generation.
The figures are an accurate in
dex of the prosperity that is lift
ing more and more families to
that state of middle-class well-eb-
ing wherein the labor of the child
is not required for the support of
the family. These figures indicate,
too, a fast-growing appreciation
on the part of parents of the
value of education and recalls the
vanishing type of old-fashioned
father who liked to say: What
was good enough for me is good
enough for my children"
But, above all else, the statistics
reflect the democratic trend of
educational methods and pro-
grams in America.
1t doesn't take an old man to
remember the time when high
schools were regarded largely as
institutions for children of the
well-to-do. And indeed, high
school courses had restrictive and
aristocratic tendencies. Their mis-
sion, largely, was to prepare
limited number of boys and girls
to pass college entrance examina'
tions.
Today the newest high schools
are great workshops where hand
and mind are being trained stimuli.

THE SOUL AND THE SONG

What though the summers faded,
and winters bleak and long.
Any time is song time if the soul
be in the song!
The rivers ripply music where
where water lilies throng-
Any time for singin' if the soul
be in the song!
Any time for singin'-the thunder
of the strife
Or the love dreams of the valleys,
if the songs the breath of
life!
The angels lean an listen from
the windows of the blue,
An they'll shout in happy chorus
an they'll kiss their hands to
you!-Atlanta Constitution.
