WHAT DO YOU SAY?
From esIie'sI

The average American uses one
THOUSAND words. That is the circum-
cumference Of his vocabulary. The
pedagogues sigh The philologists
pity our ignorance, And all the lit
tie mocking birds of the uplift phil
osophy fly whistling down the lane!
Yet there is little cause for despon'
dency. a boy feeding SWINE may dc
a fine days work on fifty words.
and a chauffeur halted by a trai''r
officer would do well to utter no
words. 4 parrot can chatter ten
words. while Caesar could WELD an
empire with less The inteligibility
of a nation is not always increased
by its volubility The poet, the ora
tor and the salesman would do well
to apparel themselves in linguistic
luxury, and preen like peacocks in
their voluptuous verbiage and gilt
tering imagery.
A working and thinking nation
does not need words as much as
deeds. Is not silence golden2 IN the
South and in the centers Of culture
the vocabulary is above the aver
age. The amplitude of speech is
there adorned with fret-work and
enriched with rhetoric. But in the
rushing North and West talk is lido
matte. To dress an old thought in
new clothes Is fine gift. But to put
forth fresh idea is finer gift
than to sprout pretty phrases.
A man with words has right to
show them, like fine shirts hung on
the line on washday. Were we a
nation of Websters and Calhoun's
we might display the whole diction-
airy lavishly and usefully, and
doubtless. there is much in the con
tention that when we use a vocabu.
larry of two thousand words we shall
be twice as wise. Nevertheless, the
thoughtful will cheer up on the
words of st. Paul to the Corinthians
II had rather speak five words with
my understanding, that by my voice

thousand words in an unknown ton

Notes
commandments FOR NURSES.

NOlW w L INSt ~ ~ ~
There is always an extraordinary
interest in graduation exercises for
nurses because of the fact that in
them is represented to particular
ly high degree that spirit OF human
sympathy and ministration which
overcomes all artificial and formal
differences between classes and in
dividuals and exhibits the depend
ence OF the individual upon others
the insufficiency of the individual in
himself-as the fundamental condi-
ton of existence. We are accus-
toned to call them sweet faced
nurses and apply other such adject-
ives OF beauty: but We speak of the
spirit which they represent, and 1t is
in these nurses, no matter how
many degrees they may carry, that
the people expect to find the best
illustration of mercy and gentleness.
The thought comes in connection
with the graduation exercises for
the two Martinsburg training
schools for nurses, which will occur
this week.

WHAT DO you WANT?

(From ne CiarkSburg Teleqram)
A good many people imagine that
all they need to attain their goal of
happiness is "lots of money" The
current issue of Forbes's Magazine
examines this idea and wonders
whether such persons ever stopped
to ask themselves what it is they
really do want If they have not
done so, it is suggested that they
sit down, think 1t over and analyze
what would be ones circumstances
should one get the things one sup
poses one likes. Asks it:
Are your desires purely selfish?
Do your tastes run to a grand home,
automobiles, fine clothes. an abund-
ance of amusements, and so forth?
II SO, look around you at people
Who have such things in abundance
and sHper-abundance. Are they any
happier, do you think, than you are?
Ave they any better morally? Are
they any stronger physically? Are
they better liked by their friends
than you are by your friends? Are
they more useful in the world than
You are? Do they put into the world
as much work as you do? DO you
consider them superior to you in
any way simply because they have
lots of worldly goods?'
The magazine goes on to state
that lots or money" and the things
money will buy in abundance do
rot always in themselves insure
greater happiness. improvement in
character, or any of the things
which really count. The greatest sat
.si&ction in life is held to be dari,.
