Handling Our Troubles
Frederiek A. Hatch

This sentencs read tho other day, started me
to thinking. 'tHow man handles bis troubles is
as important as how he handles his talents. Az
once the picture of railroad wrecking crew al
work flashed thru my mind. The wrecking tram
may have come forty miles to give aid in putting
the train back on the rails or get 1t out OF me
way for other trains to pass. And IS that not
what to do with our troubles7 And .ne
men go at the work under expert direction. Win
no lost motion. car may be burnt up as the
quickest way TO dispose of its blockading che
track. A side track is constructed to permit
other trains to proceed on their way, and always
and every time the idea is to clear the way:
That is what we must think of as to our
troublea But VIC have in our personal lie, 10
take account Of other persons. We cannot burn
them up nor may always run around the
obstacle But we can let God help US to pass on
Standing and waiting is the hardest thing 70 nave
to do. The present wreck Of nations gives tne
wise statesmen I chance to show how our talents
may be utilized to help overcome our troubles.
And the wisest of all help is that which comes
from the Master Engineer of life.
ALWAYS the boss of the wrccking crew must
use natural law in perfecting his attack upon
wreckage. So must we in personal troubles, use
the laws of the Lover of Men. Love is one, Hope
is another, Faith is still another The wisdom
which i. from above waiting to pour into receptive
hearts is available. The talented man Is he who
let's his inspirations manifest in the common
place, and trouble is commonplace enough. SELL
pity is also common place, but It cannot neip ia
meeting our troubles. Jesus had to meet the dlfh-
c,,ltv of choosing his leaders. he had to meet the
supremest trouble in Gathsemane, and in both
circumstances He prayed and worked. So must
ve, and Father is not far away. He don Y know
when be is beaten,'' was said of general. 30
must the believer have the unquenehable spirit
Of victory If his troubles shall not destroy him
instead Of his destroying them. "This is the
victory, that overcometh (every trouble) the
world, even your faith" And the talent Of faith
is as real as the talent for business art or cng7-
nearing problems.

There are men that we dislike at

You never can tell what any man

barring the few men instinctively bru'

low, all men are entitled to be met
as men and to be treated with cour-

with courtesy, which all men are
pleased to receive and the lack OF

EARLY METHOD OF COUNTING
System In Zee Up to Some Six Cen
turIes Ago Was Primitive
to a Degree.

Multiplication, addition, subtraction
and dlvislon-common grades Of
schools today-were problems that
stumped the great majority Of people
up until six centuries ago. Then
or more the good peasants were
stumped. Multiplication was done on
the fingers--that Is, what was done
When the sums got to be larger than
FIVE times FIVE, the corner saloon was
res0rted to. Here the counter used
a large checker board. Checker
boards grew to be the sign Of the
saloon.
When counting by hand, the counter
let the open hand represent the num-
Der five; the hand with one finger
closed, six; with two fingers closed,
seven; with three fingers closed eight,
and four fingers closed, nine. To null
tlply, he used one hand to represent
the multlplier, and the other the sum
to be multiplied.
The system Of counting on checker
boards was something similar to the
system Of counting on a Chinese
abacus or counting board.

When Cora Haines became a leg

TITS all over" Alex told him
self with sigh as he sat in his
business office that night and read
Of her election triumph. "She's chosen
between a career and me-she has
passed out Of my life, and the irony
Of 1t is, had to help her do it. My
conscience wouldn't have let me vote
for her opponent, although l realized
l was casting ballot against myself
when l marked the cross in front Of
her name"
In truth, Alex was discouraged
For several years two blazing lights
Of ambition had been guiding him
into the future. He wanted to be
general manager of the Dalton House
Furnishing company, and he wanted to

Now he was at sea, his cherished
plans were shattered, his soul felt
crushed. He did not even conceive
the idea that he might choose some
one else for a marital partner; In
fact, he had no other feminine ac-
qualntances who by the widest stretch
of Imagination could be considered
eligible. Only this one girl had won
her way into his heart during the

should have used different tactics.
