PERSONALITY

we nave prouhOly al met people
with caustic tongues. Generally we
are glad not 10 tasst@ihsfa again.
They seem 10 take pleasure in saying
things that are sharp-that hurt.
Their view point on the world. on
events, on people is always wrong.
They are narrow and bitter. And
they never get along in the world.
It downs them on account OF their
personality.
Either we carry people along with
us and inspire them with courage
and confidence or we ind ourselves
left far behind and batting others for
the success that might easily have
been ours had we but sought II In
the right way.
IL you are a merchant or BUSH
ness man, do you ever take the time
to consider just the sort OF person
ality you have about you In your
business? Is II the kind that makes
people want 10 trade with you?
Haven't you often seen a success
full man and after you have talked
with him a short time you rather
marvelled at his success? He seemed
not to have more than the ordinary
amount OF brains or executive abIli.
ty, yet from mis- success you know ne
must have some secret source OF
power. II is his personality. People
instinctively Ike him. And that
personality let me tell you. is worth
more than anything money can buy.
II brings you friends, Il brings
YOU happiness, It brings you sue

l wish TO preach not the doctrine
OF ignoble ease, but the doctrine Of
the strenuous life--the life OF toll
and effort, Of labor and strife; TO
preach the highest form OF success
which comes, not 10 the man who
desires more easy peace, but TO the
man who does not shrink from dan
ger, from hardship. or from bitter
toll and who, out of these. wins the
splendid ultimate triumph.
Theodore Roosevelt
A man is beginning to age when
he loses interest in what is going on
about him. when the general panor-
anna OF life as reflected in books and
newspapers, becomes unimportant TO
him, when he ceases to respond 10
the promptings OF love OF city. state
and nation. and when youth and Its
way annoy him.
However. interest in any one OF
these things is essential TO the main
tenance OF a young heart and INTEL
lect, which we often find in bodies
eighty years old. An absorbing work
necessarily causes withdrawal from
many activities. The writing OF a
book, the mastery OF language, the
study OF science, the prosecution
OF big business or profession,
compel time-saving. and the minds
and emotions OF men who do such
things cannot be disturbed by the
trivial things which yield SO much
pleasure to the majority.
Age has set in for its frosty reign
when a mans sense OF humor and
love OF fun stiffen. They are the
true bubble OF youth in heart and
mind. When one cannot play with
his grandchildren and enjoy It.; when
he cannot laugh at a joke or funny
incident, when his Intellect Is stuck

partments and bureau chiefs are called in and required to testify in great de tail as to what the activity means, why 1t Is necessary, and whether it can be conducted for less than the amount re- Quested. The hearings on each bill are comprehensive.
 "When the committee completes it's hearings the bill Is revised to bring 1t in harmony with the facts and re ported to the house. It is referred then by the speaker of the house to the committee of the whole house on the state of the Union and considered for amendment, and when this process is completed 1t Is referred back to the house for final action.
 When the house completes the bill it Is sent to the senate and referred to the committee on appropriations there. This committee goes over the details of the bill as passed by the house and frequently amends 1t up- ward. rarely ever downward.
 "When it comes back with senate amendments each house appoints a committee of conference to reconcile the differences between the two houses The conference committee generally consists of three members of each house. A majority from each house in conference Is necessary to the adop- ton of a final adjustment of the items tv hA af ha house report the conclusions of the conference to the house and those of the senate report to the senate, and when the bills are finally adopted by both houses they are signed by the President and thus become law"
 ''The responsibility for the recom- mendations under the budget act are placed upon the President, but the final responsibility for the amount ap- propriated rests with the congress. The President, on the one hand, states the case of the government needs as he understands them. He outlines the activities in which he thinks the gov. ernment should engage. and the cost IDeTeOI. lHt COuSTtSS UcClueS WHICH of the activities recommended shall be conducted, and whether the amounts recommended shall be allowed; so that here we have under the budget act two forces, each charged with separ- ate responsibility, the executive with the responsibility of outlining his pro- gram, and the congress with the re- sponsibility of limiting the cost of the program.
 Prior to the enactment of the bud get act the estimates were submitted to the head of each department by the bureau chiefs. They were never re- vised before being submitted to the head of the department. and rarely ever after they came to him. Each department head submitted the recom- mendations of his department to the secretary of the treasury, who, in turn, assembled them without revision and sent them to congress This sys- tenn necessarily engendered extrava- gance. and in many instances great waste"

"You know" said little MT. Robin, that we do love to be talked to by people. Perhaps that Is not just the way l should express myself, but l am sure you understand my meaning.
 "Then, too, you know I'm not great on correct speech. l never went to school. l never carried pad and a pencil and a note book and lot of other books. You have to carry such things if you want to be wise.
 Il suppose you have to do some thing else besides carrying such things if you want to be wise, but that is the beginning of wisdom"
 "I'll take your word for it," said Mrs. Robin, smiling a sweet robins smile.
 Now MT. and Mrs. Robin were sit ting upon an arbor side by side. MT. Robin had been singing the loveliest songs and Mrs. Robin had been enjoy ing his song so very much.
 "Now in the white house nearby" said Mir. Robin, "the lady there chats with me and with you, and with the other birds, and it does make life so pleasant and sociable.
 "She will say to me:
 "'Well, you dear little Robin, and did you sing a nice song for us? Yes. indeed yea did: You're cunning lit tie creature, and your mate is very sweet
 "Then she will talk to the Running Bird who does her marketing near the hOneysuckle honey market.
 "She will say to the Running Bird, as she picks flowers nearby:
 "'NOw, don't let me frighten you, dear little Running Bird. wouldn't do that for all the world
 "Oh, yes, we all love her. But had something to say to you, Mrs. Robin"
 "Chirp, chirp. yes, yes," said Mrs. Robin.
 They were sitting very close togeth- CT now and turned their little heads to look at each other from time to time. Then again they looked out at the little green lawn with It's arbors at the other end, too, the white house beyond that, and the little flower bed edging the side of the house.
 q heard an expression or a saying which I thought was very good one," said MT. Robin.
 "Yes, yes, chirp, chirp," said Mrs. Robin.
 T heard some one say that 1t wasn't wise to live from hand to mouth. Now for the longest time puzzled over that. I did not know what was meant by such saying or expression.
 And then listened some more, and from the conversations and talks that I heard I discovered what 1t meant"
 'Tell me-" said Mrs Robin.

Columbus Message Undiscovered.

Christopher Columbus is believed to have been the first captain to try the idea of entrusting a message to the sea. In a storm near Madeira he placed a written statement of his ad- ventures up to that time in stout wooden cask and cast it overheard in February, 1493, but unfortunately it las not turned up as yet. This would nave been the champion maritime trophy of the world, had it ever been picked up. Since then there have been thousands of bottles, tin cans, casks, etc., containing messages for the world cast into the sea.

creature who does not save up any thing for rainy day, which is an- other saying or expression.
 "When people speak of saving up for rainy day they mean saving something for a time which isn't so bright and prosperous and rich and all. Saving up something for a rainy day is wise, because it keeps one from being hard up ana dependent on others when the rainy day comes.
 ."Of course the rainy day Is just a saying, meaning what I've explained. I think we Robins should speak of sav- ing up for dry day, for we find such juicy worms In the rainy weather.
 "But a creature who lives from hand to mouth Is a person who takes in the money or the worms as he can, and eats what he has earned at once. A person who lives from hand to mouth spends all he makes as soon as he makes it-nOt only in food, of course. The expression is an express sion meaning a good deal, you see.
 "And a bird who lives from beak to stomach is bird who doesn't think of the future. Of course, we birds can't save up and have little bank ac- counts, but we can save up strength and health for our travelling days, and we can do such good work that we can look after our little ones and bring them up to be strong, too.
 "But the expression seems an inter- esting one to mel shouldn't like to be a person and live from hand to mouth. It would be so trying life. And wouldn't want to be child who didn't save some toward something big and nice rather than spending every thing on things to eat and things which would quickly pass. Yes. the expression is a good one.

first of the following June At the head of the funeral procession were three enormous wagons filled with floral tributes, among them huge diadem of Irish lilies with the inscrip- tion "To the Worlds Greatest Poet" sent by Lord Tennyson, poet-laureate of England. Telegrams were re- ceived from virtually all the promi- nent men alive. and the number of spectators was estimated at 1000 900, of all classes and kinds, all striving to do homage to the memory of the dead writer.

which Is above all things essential in business organization. The President, and the President alone, can do this, for his attitude toward the heads of the departments and the independent establishments Is a matter constantly in their minds. What he desires 1t be- comes their interest as well as their principles and in accordance with the law. In the absence of his expressed desire, what becomes their selfish interest in action is inevitably along the lines of decentralization and the re-establishment of the old condition haphazard."
 Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the appropria- tions committee of the house, has this to say, in part, concerning the budget system and the making of appropria- tions:
 Under the budget act, the director of the budget Is required, on behalf of the President. to call upon the heads of departments and independent establishments of the government for detailed statements of the activities upon which they are about to enter for the coming fiscal year, with a de tailed estimate of the cost of such activities.
 "These statements are made by the | h,rra ohfnfo tn ha hooA a$ fhn do partment or independent establish ment, and referred by him to the bud get officer of the department, who, on behalf of the department head. revises the estimates upward or downward, as the case may be. and later they are reviewed and revised by the head of the department before submission to the director of the budget.
 "The director of the budget ex- amines all parties interested ip the figures submitted and makes a further detailed investigation of the needs of the activities proposed. and goes care fully into the question of cost. He has the power to revise. to eliminate or to add to the figures submitted. and after he has completed his ex- animation. tabulation and revision he submits the report to the President who, under the law. Is required to re rort to congress the full details of all government activities and the financial needs for the ensuing year. and If the aggregate of his recommen- dations exceeds the anticipated reve- nues the law requires him to indicate how the proposed excess of expendi- lures over the revenues is to be met
 After the submission of the Presi- dents recommendations to congress the whole subject Is referred to the committee on appropriations. The com mittee divides the Presidents recom- mendations up into departments, and for each department prepares a bill Each bill Is prepared in detail, show inc the amount requested for each activity within a department The committee then holds hearings to as- certain the necessity for the amount requested in each case.

Bob-White Eats Beetles.

The bob-white eats the adults or beetles of the corn rootworm which lay the eggs that later become larvae or worms and infest the corn. As many as 12 of the beetles, according to the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, have been found in the stomach of one bob-white. The red-headed woodpecker. nighthawk, cardinal king bird and phoebe also eat the beetles and reduce the damage done by the southern corn roOtworm.

Influence of the Opal

The modern superstition which re- gards the opal as an unlucky gem is traced to an ignorant prejudice which arose in Italy during the plague in the Fourteenth century. Before this time 1t was considered a most for tunate stone, particularly to those born under the heavenly cancellations Leo. Libra, or Aquarius. So highly was 1t prized in ancient Rome that the Senator Nonius chose to be exilsd
