NO MEDIUM ROAD

FROM the lives of great men, whose
= deeds are recorded In printed
words, If we set ourselves seriously to
the task we can CLEAN the yeriest
flowers Of wisdom.
Their stories are told in friendliness
for the encouragement of others.
Their noblest sufferings and stead
fast faith stand up like guide-posts
to direct tired, disheartened travellers
to a pleasant destination.
Their experiences were the common
experience Of mortals, filled with hard
ships, chatting and calling when &C
cepted, and when overcome as sooth-
ing to the burning flesh as oil.

not be long in finding that these men
pursued no medium road.
From the bottom to the top Of
their career they proceeded straight
ahead, never feigning or falsifying
their emotions. never deceiving them
selves or others. which made conf
dence sure and success certain.
They accepted life as a prose ideal
and went gladly about making It a
glorious bit of poetry. radiant with
sentiment and love, leaving their
achievements behind so that another
generation might gather courage and
inspiration
And this they did by doing their
full duty, never turning back or fal-
tering.
They developed the habit of look
ing up, thinking above the heads Of
others and holding all the while to
their purpose.
Conscious Of human frailties they
were ever humble, patient with
others and severe with themselves,
always exacting from their own
brains and bodies every ounce Of
energy available and doing their mt
most whether tongues wagged praise
or condemnation.
They priced self-respect above the

Some Of the most brilliant men in
America and In England have been

LIVES IN BORROWED SHELL


The most peculiar thing about the
hermit crab Is hts curious habit Of
living In the shell Of dead mollusks.
His motive Is 10 protect his hind-body.
The fore part OF his anatomy is COW
cred with thick. horny crust. His
abdomen is soft and invested with a
delicate membrane. The slightest rup-
ture or abrasion to this abdomen COW
ering Is almost certain to be fatal.
With Its belly. the hermit crab holds
on to its portable home. Occasionally
1t will change one acquired shell for
another, When exchanging shells It
must act with utmost caution and dis
patch lest It be harmed by some en-
envy who may be lurking near.
This exchange is often made at the
mere within Of the animal, but after

Cellar Is Safe.

Accident statistics show that the
safest place to be to avoid the pos
sibility Of accident Is in a bed In the
cellar Of your home. Next to that the
safest place is Pullman or other steel
car on a railroad train. So say the
accident insurance companies. A pas
senger in an ordinary railroad car is
much safer than al home, because he
is sitting still and few things can
happen to him. IT he Is in Pullman,
and there is collision, other cars may
be smashed. but lis own vehicle, be-
ing Of steel and enormously heavy, will
likely escape serious injury.
