SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
RyF. A. Walker

BYE. A. Walker

If the widow had decided, despite
the directions Of Elisha, that the pot
of oil had no possibilities of solving
her financial difficulties, she wouio
have lost her sons to her creditors
and the whole plan OF the restoration
Of herself and her family to happi-
ness and comfort would have mis-
carried.
1t is well to know accurately just
what our resources are. We should
know Just what we are capable OF
accomplishing and then be sure that
the accomplishment itself Is 100 per
cent Of our possibilities.
Look through your mental house
and your physical house and you
might even take a hurried glance at
your moral house.
See what is there of which you
are not making the fullest and most
profitable use.
See, too, what is there that should
NOT be there. that is hindering in
stead Of helping you, and get rid
of it.
Maybe you have lot Of oil quite
as valuable as was the widows and
are laboring as she was under the
impression that you are without re
sources. The Old-time miracle can be
repeated in YOUR case, II you &c
about 1t in the right way.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB +:
How 10 Succeed How to Get

By JESSIE ROBERTS
LIBRARIANS.

THE demand for the trained u
i brarian is ON the increase. But
many young women are leaving the
regular library to take up allied work
that pays better.
The new demand outside Of the reg
ular library comes from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature Of al
sorts is part Of their daily material.
and they see the need Of proper In
dexing for all this material, and for
making it available for immediate use
as the books In library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as a lawyer or doctor
with a large practice. Such men WIN
often have a whole library. that IL use
less unless properly indexed.
Many women who began as hbEar'
ians are now holding excellent posi-
TONS where their library training
proved the essential In their new
work.
AS the librarian can as yet look for
ward at best to hardly more than ST.
500 a year, the best trained and more
ambitious women are following the
commercial path.
But librarians training is proving
to be excellent for other work. Many
girls do not stop at organizing special
libraries for their new employers.
They go on to become heads ofNdepart-
ments. undertake the installing of bus
mess systems, of filing and cata-
loguing, and even run offices of their
own. (Copyright.)

BRAVERY.

a LII bravery is not in death,
"A However glad and glorious
To breathe the gases toxic breath,
Among the clouds bird to be,
Or to 60 gown within TIE sea-
Oh, 1t is brave to battle thus,
And yet not all Of bravery.
There is some bravery in life
That never wins the worlds
applause:
There is no thrill in DALI strife
To set our pulses leaping high
Yet drawer men may live than
die, e
May suffer more In some good cause
Than they who now in slumbeR
lie.
All bravery is merely this:
To live or die, as fate demands,
But living, dying, never miss
The duty Conscience makes -
plain:
To know the right, the right
maintain,
Although 1t lose rs life or lands
And pay no recompense ous
pain.
To face old Death amid mems cheers,
Yea, that is bravery indeed
But to fight on through losing years,
Some unencouraged task to do.
Believe when none believe In
you,
In public smile, In secret bleed
May God not count this
something, too?

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
.aYANkEE..

w HLE the genesis Of the
w term yankee" as applied
b. the English to Americans In
general, by Southerners to those
residing In the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders,
Is shrouded In the mists OF
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks Of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted Of these, is that the
word Il q corruption Of the
French Anglais or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days Of
the colonies. History states that
.Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either Of the word
.Anelais" or English" and It
IL easy to see how this, In turn,
+. could have become transmitted
into yankee"
Another explanation, a trifle
more scholarly, Is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
syankie'' meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
.Jankin," which was the diminu-
tive OF Jan or John. One au-
thority goes SO far as to declare
that .Jankin" was the generic
name applied to the English set
tiers Of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers Of New York.
The first known use OF the
term In print occurred in a
poem entitled Oppression. /"
published In 1765, In which APP
peared the line "From meanness
Ilrst the Portsmouth Yankee
rose" The coupling Of the
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to bear out the
contention that the term waa
one applied principally to New
Englanders and therefore orig
inally Of Dutch origin.

IN YOUR HOUSE.

f YOU are not a careful reader OF
the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which 1t details
are in the New Testament, but II you
will turn to the fourth chapter OF
III Kings you may read an enter
tanning story Of one of the remarkable
things performed by Elisha In the
multiplication Of the pot Of oil.
Elisha performed many miracles
but of them all this one Is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one Of the wives OF the
sons 6f the prophets. tells Elisha that
her creditors have come to take her
two sons as bondmen in settlement OF
what she owes.
Elisha asks her what she has In
the house which might be available
to settle the debt. Her reply is thai
her only possession is a pot OF OIL.
At his direction the woman sends
her sons to gather all the empty re-
ceptacles In the neighborhood ana
when they have been brought she
obeys the command Of Elisha that
she shall pour from the pot OF oil into
the empty vessels and this she con-
tinues to do until all are filled and
then she sells enough Of the store OF
oil to pay her debts and there Is sum-
Gent left to supply her and her sons
What have YOU in YOUR housef
The trouble with most Of us Is that
we never value very highly the posi-
bilities of what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
ways looks bigger and fairer to us
than the one In our hand.
The Job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and more salts
factory than our employment.
The other mans lot always seems
pleasanter than ours and his pros
pecss and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble IL we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
" use what we have 'in OUR house"
| Success is made up entirely OF what
! we have and how we use It
No man was ever born who did not
have the possibility of success.
No man ever lived who did not
have plenty Of opportunity to sue
| coed.
The man who says Il never had a
chance" is just lying to himself as
an excuse for his failure.
Lord Bacon said, "A wise man Will
make more opportunities than, he
/ finds" and that is much truer than
the famous poem Senator ingalls,
wrote that pictured opportunity as
knocking only once at mans door
or the picture which Radicals drew
OF Opportunity as a woman with 9
lock Of hair on her forehead but with
the back Of her head completely
bald; meaning that Opportunity must
be grasped as 1t comes toward yor

nothing to seize.
/ Every day has its opportunity.
Most OF us think that these every
day opportunities are not big enough

thinking that something tremendous

Chicago, Nov. 4-The governments suit for dissolution of a trade asso- citation involving 1 3 manufacturers of hnseed oil was dismissed by Judge George A. Carpenter in federal dis trict court for want of equity in his decision filed today.
 The suit was to decide whether trade associations may be for the pur- pose of exchanging price lists and other trade data and was regarded as establishing a precedent, affecting the standing of 5000 other such associa tions throughout the country. Suit was brought as @ part of the govern rnent's antitrust prosecutions.
