Nobody will play with them
because they play q handball
game that ID too tough for our
soft-boiled civilization. Their
game is leather handball. They
smack yarn and leather with
their bare claws. Let any
other man try it once and his
mitts would swell up like hun
cry sponges-
The Washington herald., 1922-12-20

There are many rubber hand
ball players in New York, but
Brooklyn is proud Of its hermit
clan. They play each other
day after day, but outsiders
never challenge 'em.
Once in q while they jour
ney to Cincinnati or Philadel-
phia, where the Philopatrsns
hang out. But they never ret
any publicity. They never send
their scores to newspapers.
Once John, L. Sullivan train
ed in Caseys court His op-
ponent was to be Jim Ccrbett-
Since then Casey's has grad
ually flattened out until only
oldtimers know Of its location.
These players can find no
competition outside of Brook
lyn. There are six hundred
members of Central Y. NJ. c.
A. Business Mems Club who
play the leather game. But,
as most of Casey's players are
also members Of the Business
Men, there are never any club
challenges.
When these tough birds grab
some yearning for human com
partnership, they wrap some
food in q handkerchief and
journey to New York. They
are eager TO play. But, owing
to rubber ball game being ex-
clusively stylish in New York,
they are forced TO play the
other mans game.
They are invariably beaten
and return to their obscure
nest in Brooklyn to nurse their
crouch and to hope that some
day some of those Manhattan
insects win buzz into their De-
graw street web.
IL you have never seen the
leather game, you have never
seen handbsll.

Use Your Thinker.

you. They are just too lazy to work their
thinkers.
Most of the trouble in domestic life is
caused by want of thought, and not by want
of heart. When the average young couple
get married they intend to make each other
happy, and their marriage success.
The trouble with them is that when they
settle down into the jog trot of every day
family life, they cease to think about making
things pleasant for each other. They forget
to extend to each other the little courtesies
to show each other the little attentions, to
manifest the appreciation that turns marriage
from a dreary grind to picnic.
A man really loves his wife. He is filled
with gratitude, and admiration as he reallzes
the depths of her loyalty and devotion to him.
and watches how bravely and wisely she meets
every vicissitude of life. He thinks she is the
wonder of the world, and he blesses heaven
for having bestowed her upon him, but he
let's her starve to death for lack of word of
love and appreciation just because he doesn't
think to say it.
A woman adores her husband. She would
be cut into mince meat to help him, but she
ruins him with her extravaganza, or she nags
him into the grave just becau g she doesn't
think what effect her senseless spending, or
eternal whining and complaining have upon
him.
The people who do not think make nine
tenths of the work OF a household. Some
body is forever getting extra meals for those
who do not come in time for dinner; some
body is picking up papers, and hanging up
clothes, and sweeping up cigarette stubs, and
putting books back in their places for those
who do not think. Half the tombston IS that
are erected over the graves of mothers might
have engraved on them Murdered by her
children who did not think
Most of us have better hearts than we
have heads. We do not mean to be unklnd,
We are just stupid, and dull of apprehension.
We don't think when we should think, but oh,
what an appalling record our lack of thought
rolls up against us.
The helping hand we might have held out
to save some struggl from drowning in the
sea of misfortune; the letter OF coincidence
that would have brought comfort, that we
might have written the need Of praise we
might have given; the word of tenderness,
and love that would have made sad heart
sing for joy.
And our only excu- for not having made
the world better and brighter place is II
d-d7't think"-the excuse OF an imbecile and
a fool offered by an intelligent human being.
Funny isn't it? And pitiful.

DOrOthV Dix Talks

r SNT 1t queer how many people assume
that just to say 81 don't think is a
blanket excuse that covers every possible
sin of omission and commission?
81 didn't Think" 'I didn't Think" is the
futile excuse they make for breaking your
heart, and wrecking your pocketbook, and
turning life into cinders, ashes, and dust for
you. I never hear anyone whine out this
confession of imbecility without being remind
ed of an old colored friend of mine who,
when her children would try to excuse them
selves by saying that they didn't think would
Wrathfully exclaim:
"You didn't think! lou didn't think! If
you've got thinker wuk it,"
So say we all. If you've got thinker,
work it. If you have mind, use it. Nobody
but congenial idiot can justify himself, or
herself by saying, II didn't Think Not to
think is confession of sloth and selfishness.
II you don't think about what you do and say
will affect those about you, it is because you
are too lazy to take the trouble to study their
little peculiarities, and remember their fam
lily histories, and you are too self-centered to
really consider anybody else but yourself.
For ny part, would rather be a subtle
villain pursuing nefarious plan in injuring
my fellow creatures than one of the stupid
laundering dolts who wound people to the
quick without intending it because he lacks
the energy to use a few brain cells.
81 didn't think" 81 didn't think" "I
didn't Think" Listen to the chorus Of the
feeble-minded and you will hear the wall of
the woe of the universe in it.
81 didn't think it was loaded" says the
murderer who had pointed what he thought
was an empty gun at his best friend, and slain
him. Does that bring the dead back to life
again? Does it console his weeping mother,
Or give back husband and father to those
he has left desolate? What right has anyone
who has Intelligence enough to go about with
out a keeper not to know what he is doing I?
81 didn't think" says the blunderer who
insists on telling a screamingly funny story
about deformed man to hunchback or a
cripple, or who discourses about defaulters to
o. woman whose son has absconded with a
trust fund, or who rallies old maids about
not being married, and elderly women about
their birthdays.
You know the sort Of people who, as an
Irishman might say, never open their mouths
without putting their feet in it, and who in
any mixed company can always be relied upon
to rattle all the skeletons in every closet,
They never meet you that they don't hurt
and humiliate you, and leave you feeling what
a rotten old place the world is.
Yet their crime against you is not Of in
tention. They are not delibately insulting

When Success Is Failure

THAT the largest outward successes are
sometimes the dismalest inward fail
ures is illustrated afresh in Mr.. Hen
ry Fords contention that the business man
who does not think shop throughout his
waking hours has 81 oiled his prospect OF ad-
vancement. In this drably commercialized
scheme of living, diversions and friendships
have no more place than culture and medita-
tion To saunter through green fields at even
tide; to listen by winters fire to the mel
ody of old masters or converse on themes as
far as the stars from office and mill; to play,
II explore, to SYM athize, to wonder; to be-
lieve that "life is more t n neat and the
body more than raiment''-all this, in your
tin-souIcd utilital as way of thinking is
but hindrance to success.
The question is, of course, not within the
province Of argument; eyeleSs fishes could
never Le )nvinced of the worth of sunshine,
let alone of moonlight. But what a thou
.-~--1 pities that minds of happie" gifts, capa-
BILE of Looking up and away to life's wide,
azure ran, les, still. fetter themselves TO think
ing shop through every waking hour! This,
be it granted, will often produce a money
making machine but it will never produce a
man. Nor will it advance by one inch the
true empire of business. Whence came the
opportunities of modern commerce and in
dustry if not from high-hearted voyagers
answering the call of strange seas and from
scientists gloriously intent upon the quest
of truth?
Not to the instinct of money -grubbing, but
love of adventure does the world owe it's ma
teral progress; and if ever these die away,
leaving only slaves of the shop, this poor
planet will sink into the -nanity of paupers
boarding house. Success if e may venture
to differ from Mr.. Ford, is not to be earned
by excluding from ones life the friendly
charms and the eternal values-not even the
success that is most readily gagged.
