DR.. BARTON'S
DAILY LETTER
GOOD COMPANY
By. DR.. William E. Barton

VOU are considered by others to
be good company. You can talk
on subjects grave or gay, and people
ike to have you with them.
Are you good company for your-
self?
What have you to think of when
you are all alone?
You have your business and your
frers and cares, and you can think
of them, but there are times when
those are just what you ought not
to think about What else have
you to think about?
You do not care to think about the
things you talk about There is nc
JOY in telling yourself the last joke
about Ford cars, though you get a
laugh out of your friends by telling
that. There is no fun in thinking
about your golf score, though that
is a frightful theme of conversation
What have you in your mind to
think about when you have nothing
to do but think?
When your train is DELAYED by a
wreck down the line, and the news
boy has sold out his stock of maya
zines, and you have devoured the
morning paper down to the stubble,
what have you to think about?
How many good poems do you
know?
How much do you remember Of
what you once learned Of the teach
ings of the great philosophers?
Have you in your memory deep
reservoir of good things which you
can draw out for your own refresh
ment when you need them?
When you lie awake in the night
do you go through the foolish pro-
cess of fretting because you cannot
sleep, or have you anything good to
think about?
THE millstones of the human mind
Go ever round and round;
If they have nothing else to grind,
They must themselves be ground. a"
What is nervous prostratiOn but
the wearing out of the two millstones
with no grist between.
Fill your mind with good things.
Be good company for yourself.

Of beauty Mr.. and Mrs. Harris are
justly proud of their home, and spare
no time. pains or money to keep it
attractive and comfortable.
Today the Baptist church will hold

agement of church affairs
The Music club will meet Monday
night at Mr.. NJ. Callaways for the
purpose of hearing the reports OF
the different committees appointed
at the last meeting. The commit ee
