How Squirrels Earned and
Continue to Earn Right to
Live and Rejoice in Life.

ain creating the squirrel family ma
ture performed n Of her most gra-
cious and benefcent acts" writes Ar
thur #. Rice in an article on -Four
Footed Folk" In Boys Life. "She
made the striped squirrel for the very
small boy, the red squirrel for the
larger boy and the gray squirrel for
the big boy from fifteen to seventy
years of age, and threw in flying squlr-
rels and black squirrels and fox squir-
rels as an evidence of her generous dis
position to please everybody. She dec
GRATED the stumps and messy rocks
with tiny, beautiful forms and added
picturesque life to the rail fences and
stone walls with a charming race Of
busy little creatures whose graceful
motions and interesting habits con-
tribute much to the entertainment Of
all mankind.
at was in the eternal fitness Of
things that the squirrels should do
something for nature in return for the
gift Of a joyous existence so they set
about helping her to plant her garden.
The chipmunks buried beech nuts and
chestnuts and acorns in the ground.
and thus did their part in the scheme
of scientific forestry. The red SPUR
rels dropped hazelnuts, butternuts,
cherry stones and pine cones along
the walls and fences and straightway
there sprang up along these n
q
lusty trees where other squirrels find
a feast, where the birds build their
nests and under which the cattle en-
joy a grateful shade. So the squirrels
earned, and continued to earn the right
to live and to rejoice in life"

We Can if We Wan" to, and
Can Do More if We Have To

Many people think that life is hard.
They don't feel like working. What we
need is to wake up-to work and to be
useful. Every depression is wrong,
the more we feel the necessity to
work, the more we will be able to Gre
ate. The man who can say II WILL"
has power. We often say in quiet
days: 81 cannot do it, it's impossible u
But when there is a necessity for doing
a thing we find that we can do it, and
do easily what we thought before i'm
possible. So do not be depressed, it's
only the will-the good will. We can
if we want to, and we can do more if
we have to.

Big. Men Who Are Unusually
Bright Are in the Minority

1t Is generally accepted that great
development of the powers of the
brain is usually accompanied by only
moderate animal or physical life. In
those cases where high development of
both is found, it is emphatically mark
ed by shortness of existence or defec-
tive vitality in the structures of or
ganic life and low organization. Men
tai celebrities of large stature have
been in a noticeable minority, and the
standard of health very low in fact.
according to John o. London's Week
ly, from Alfred the Great to Schiller
the physical defects have been pain
fully apparent, and the roll Of DEATH
less names seems to be the list of a
gathering of invalids and cripples.

First Visiting Cards.

The practice of using visiting cards
has come down to us from sixteenth
century Italy. Then Padua was at.
tended very largely by students from
Germany, with whom it was the Gus
tom when they left college to pay
farewell visits to their professors.
When these dIgnitaries were not at
home to receive the personal token,
the student left their names on slips
OF paper.

the noise broke out afresh, and some
called insistently for the hook, but the
high voice Of the Dispenser of Doom
in the gallery called. "Shut up; give
her a show" and the noise died down.
She was no longer frightened, and the
