where FOX SHOWS CUNNING
! Faster Than tho Dog Will Drive
: Him, for a Purpose.

" An Englishman who had once seen
an American fox running before a
hound wrote that the American fox is
much slower than its English cousin.
AS matter Of fact, the Englishman's
assertion, which by the way appeared
in an encyclopaedia, Is really trib-
ute to the superior cunning Of the
American fox Reynard, says Mr..
Charles D. Stewart In the Atlantic
Monthly, could have run good deal
faster had he thought it wise to do it.
A fox surprised by hound In
small patch Of wood will run across
the open at astonishing speed. Then
he not only will slow up but may even
sit down on some convenient elevation
and look back. He keeps his wits
about him: he wants to see what is
going on. When the hound has struck
his stride the fox will soon gauge It
and lead him a chase. Anyone who
sees the chase and knows that the
hound is slow becomes an admirer Of
the witty Reynard and will be likely
to say that the fox is running. slowly
just to tease the dog, Indeed, many
entertaining writer's have said So: but
q. veteran hunter would not 50 Inter
pref the action Of the fox. He well
knows that when fox, gets. half a
mile or So ahead Of him and skulks
along at a set distance out Of sight.
itsis not doing 1t to tease him., The
fox is not SO human as that. The plain
fact is that the fox will not retreat
before a dog any faster than the dQg
drives him. That IS because It is
naturally cunning.

= A very little girl sat on the plush
couch In the hotel lobby violently
swinging her feet. Back and forth
they swung with vigor. A nice-faced
lady sat down next to the child and
watched her for n moment. Then she
asked very gently why the little girl
didn't put her feet on the floor.
With painstaking care and patience
the little girl explained by gestures
that IL she held her feet on the floor
she couldn't sit On the couch, and IL
she sat back comfortably her feet
didn't reach the floor.
"Dear me-" said the lady, very
kindly, what are you going to dol?
"Grow," answered the child non.
chalantly. and continued swinging her
feet.-Chicago Journal.

ROSES OR THIsTLEs?

no YOU pause sometimes while
journeying through the fields and
along the byways of life, to consider
whether you are gathering roses or
thistles? The basket which you are
unconsciously carrying is being filed
with one or the other, which you will
find when you arrive in the gloom Of
the gathering night and realize that
your wanderings are done.
II when you stop to rest you have
velvety roses to look upon you will in
your delight quite forget the purpling
sky and all that it foretells.
, You will be happy In the thought
that You have not misspent your day !;
glad that you chose the beautiful in
stead of the repulsive; grateful that
you did not misdirect your energies.
There is probably scant attention
bestowed by you and me to the basket
upon our arm into which we are plac-
ing every hour of life something
which will rise up to praise or con-
denim us. Our heads are silvered and
our feet are tired and unsteady.
But on this occasion we cannot re-
trace our steps,
Shadows are all about us and the
half-hidden paths we once knew so
well, are unfamiliar.
We are alone with the things we
have garnered.
We would like to recall sharp words,
scpwls and frowns we have hurled at
our friends, our patient fathers and
mothers-and sadly recall hot tempers
and terrible tongues.
As the scales fall from our eyes,
there is something of the nature Of
dismay that takes hold Of US and fills
our soul with tears.
Oh, that we might be permitted to
live over again those wild, impetuous
days Of youth
We would curb our spirit. hide our

THE BAD START
(Copyright.)

THE average man is so constituted
= that a certain amount Of discour-
agement is necessary to progress.
That is why nobody should worry
about bad start.
Get good ono If you can, Of
course. 1t will help. But remember
If your start was bad. that so was the
start Of almost every other man who
ever attained place of any impor-
lance in the world.
General Grant got bad start In his
studies at West Point, and did so poor
ly in the army that he resigned.
At the outbreak of the war between
the states in America, he had settled
down to the business of running a
yard and tannery in al obscure I'LL
nois town.
His biographer says that he was Mt
terly discouraged. But he wasn't. He
knew that somewhere in him was
very great ability. And when he got
into the war, as all young Americans
on both sides did, ambition awoke In
him.
Everybody knows the rest OF the
story.
Lloyd George is one Of the few con-
spicuous figures In the world today
who proceeded from success to sue
cess after he once got his start.
The start itself was extremely bad.
It would have discouraged most men.
However, determination triumphed
over poverty and lack Of opportunity.
The world knows the rest of that
story, too.
1t stands to reason that II you never
have to use your muscles you will al
ways be weakling. And you can
only use your muscles in overcoming
something, whether it Is job, or your
own natural inertia.
Neither can you develop your men

MUST BE A MAN
Bq wALTER l.
ROBINSON

IF "A MAN would be happy he must
= be a Man.
Try as one may, real enjoyment
cannot be gotten out Of life II one
follows a wrong pathway.
IF a man would be satisfied with
himself, he must have the proper
viewpoint of what he should be. Ad-
hitting this, let us consider the opin-
ion Of D. j. Burrell as to what makes
q man Man.
"Not what a man has or what hap
pens to him; not wealth, nor noble
blood. nor crowns" says Burrell, "but
the things that are in him and shin
ing through him-his thoughts, mo-
lives, springs of action; those consti-
tute the man."
Too few have this honest estimate
In mind when they measure their own
right to a place under the sun and
their own right to comfort and hap
piness. Unfortunately humans are
inclined to spend much more time
thinking Of what they would like to
have, than in thinking what they are
or what they would like to be.
"Self-preservation is the first law
Of Nature" it is true But too often
we find evidence that men and women
place selfishness ahead of everything
else. They do not understand that
there is a wide difference between
MISREPRESENTATION and selfishness. II
they do understand, they ignore the
fact, for constantly, though earnestly
seeking happy lives, we find them
seeking worldly possessions, worldly
disbursement Of which are of the
shallowest sort.
When one faces hard-boiled bur
plar in the darkness Of the night, he
rightly protects himself by whatever
means he finds at his disposal. That's
a case Of self-preservation, for the
second-story men are usually ready to
KIN rather than be caught. But in the
regular pathways of life no one can
Justify any action which is unfair to
This fellowmen in order to gain some
thing for himself. When man stoops

whether they be in buying or selling.
either labor or goods, he is certain
sooner or later to lose respect for
himself.

The train was standing at the Fuller

When the man quit his seat 1t was,
logically, taken by the woman. Not
for long, however, did she hold It. A
second later he was back--obviously
having spotted the station name
through the open door.
