AS Miss Carter looked at Tim
sudden thought came to her. How
would you like to go home with me
this summer and see my friends and
pick up the apples 1 have told you
abOut?"
How Tim lived through the rext few
weeks he could never have told. but
the day did come when he left the
noisy city far behind and, with Miss
Carter, rode on the train to the coun-
try he could hardly believe was real.
The first night in the sweet white
bed Tim slept but little for fear it was
all a dream, but it wasn't and there
were weeks of happiness ahead.
Tins cheeks grew round and rosy,
his eyes bright and such walks and
talks as he had with Miss Carter and
he met all of her animal friends. but
best of all was a pretty yellow war
bier that built a nest in the fork of
the apple tree.
Tim watched this yellow fellow fly
ing back and forth into the tree and
one day he asked: Miss Carter, what
does that bird carry in his mouth and
what does he do with it?"
IF you will promise never TO touch
bird nests, Tim. or take their eggs, ]
will show you something very pretty,
said Miss Carter.
And when the yellow warbler had
flown away again, Miss Carter and
Tim placed ladder by the tree and
carefully climbed up.

- ways is easier to find fault with
others than with oneself. And 1t Is
just as true that when one goes around
looking for trouble, he's likely to miss
more serious difficulties Of his own
making.
Neglect Is never excusable. If one
is fair to his fellows, as well as HIM
self, he will always have his own
house in order before he starts out to
make others clean house. If one
wishes to find fault with the treatment
accorded him by his fellows, he should
survey his own record of actions to-
ward his fellowmen.
Many persons are constantly making
their own lives miserable and adding
to the sorrow of the world by COM
planning that ''the world is going to the
bow-wows," and contending that moth
ing short of another deluge will bring
sinfulness to an end. They overlook
entirely all the many good things and
good deeds which are constantly being
brought about by self-sacrificing irdi-
viduals. Because people spend SO much
time discussing the sordid side of life,
they come to think little of the better
side.
With all the disappointing evidences
Of lawlessness and disregard for moral
laws and modesty, it is still a fact
that the vast majority are clean
minded, Woodworking, law-abiding,
God-fearing men and women. If they
were not, there would be nothing new
in the wicked pathways about which
we hear so much. If the majority were
following the wrong trail the story Of
sin and misery and missteps would at
tract but passing attention. The ex-
ception, as usual. groves the rule.
If ali those who are worried about
the Tendencies" of the age would
keep their own course straight and
would try to encourage others by their
cheerful examples, there would be less
sin in the world. For there are few
who intentionally take the wrong
path.
One always will make his own life
happier and the world more cheerful IL
he keeps his thoughts and words
focused on the better side.
1t never pays to play with fire or to
occupy ones time reading trash.

One Of the greatest advantages of
wireless telephone receivers is that an

ways give better results. AS / have
