THREE OLD PROVERBS
Better To Forget The Proverb When
Common Sense Contradicts 1t.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss"
Do you remember how often your
wise advisers have quoted it as an
unanswerable argument against any
new move on your part? The state
ment it true. But the application is
utterly deceptive. Who wants moss
anyhow: Do you want to be a moss
back? The dictionary says moss
back is "a person so sluggish in his
way OF life or thought that he may be
likened to a stone or old tree covered
with moss" Even assuming moss"
to mean wealth. the proverb is mis-
applied. The people who have taken
root and refused to bulge from one
place or one way OF life are not the
people who have, achieved the great
est success. The most successful men
are those of wide and varied interests.
Then there is that old story, about
sticking to your bush" 1t is not true
that the boy who stuck to his bush
after the berries were hard to find
carried home the largest bucket full
The boy who moved often enough to
be where the berries were thickest
had the best chance to come out "a
head
We are told. too, that perseverance
conquers all things" Don't believe it,
True, a certain amount of persever-
ance is essential to a successful career.
But the man who embarks upon a
new and untred enterprise with the
unalterable determination to stick to
the bitter end. is liable to find the end
in his grave without having accom-
plished his purpose. We are all liable
to make mistakes in forecasting the
outcome of new venture. When you
have put forth every, effort and. tried
every turn possible and still the trend
is inexorably against you; when your
path is blocked by a" stone wall too
high to climb and too strong to butt
il down; it is better to take some other
path than to butt your brains out
with no effect upon the wall. Many
man has been ruined for life because
he was too persevering to quit while
there was enough of him left to ach-
ieve success Elsewhere
When the old proyerb contradicts
common sense and universal expert
ence,. forget the proverb.-Printers
Exchange.

A WIFE DISCOURAGED.
After Reading a Recent Novel She
Calls Her Life a Failure,

To The New York Herald: We
have been married eighteen years and
my wife has brought four splendid
children into the world besides run
ming large household in an incom-
parable manner, which in itself is a
man sized job.
She is of very religious nature,
extremely conscientious, and believes
that married woman's first duty is
at her home. During these years she
has pulled me through a period of
nervous depression, has carried her
mother through long illness and
nursed her daughter through two
severe illnesses and is now successful
ly guiding her through these difficult
days for young girls.
She is interested in church work and
hnds time to make many garments for
the needy. She helps when she can in
Red Cross work and for long period
assisted every week at baby welfare
station. She also collects each wear
from many people sum sufficient to
send cripple to the seahore every
summer. She is the comfort and re-
fuge of all her friends in their times of
trouble, keeps up with the times, is a
good pal of mine and a good sport,
come what may.
Last night after reading book re-
Gently published and the subject of
some discussion, which belittles the
ordinary life of the ordinary family,
she said: my life is complete failure
because | have done nothing worth
while" l tell her that the every day
affairs of life done we'll make a life
worth while, but she can't see il.
Is there not tendency nowadays to
sneer at the homely affairs of every
day home life to overemphasize the
spectacular?
