hope aud was ready to resign TO
death by freezing, but mother love
and instinct caused her TO try to
save the child. She continued to
shield 1t the best she could, to rub
its hands and feet and try by every
possible means to keep up warmth
IN it's body. As result the lives
of both were saved.
Work is not only cure for ply
sical and mental troubles but ie q
preventive, a tonic. Work kills
worry. 1t not only strengthens and
hardens the muscles and tones The
nerves from jlDgling. In pioneer
and colonial days when all men and
women we're busy making a great
country, nervousness and nerve spe-
clalists were unknown. One of the
commonest things known was good
health, prime essential OF content
meut and happiness.
1t would be cruel and unusual
punishment to keep a healthy, nor
NAL man completely idle, no matter
how we'll treated Just as 1t would
be torture to hold playful kitten
motionless so it would be to stop
the funclioning of mans mental and
physical forces The pent up forces
within him are heritage from thou
sands Of active ancestors; they de-
mand play, expression and when
suppressed they will, like confined
steam, harm tue engine that gener.
ates and houses them.
Bot the physical and mental are
not all. there Is the moral side, the
conscience. No man can have the
natural pride that man is entitled tc,
the proper amount of self respect,
who can boast OF notnIug accom-
plished 4 nat who d ie- some.
thing ls honored ty bis fellow men.

of much benefit to nj 1nkind, the sto

ues are raised 10 his bcnor. If he
does nothing he is nothing. Little
attention is paid to him and LotblnR
resembling admiration is forthcom-
ing. A man may say, al don't care
what people think about me-" but
no m an ever said that without lying
A man so speaking has a grouch al
ready which was caused by the DIS
APPRECIATION of others.
No man lives for himself alone
Ii be did his life would not ne worth
living. We might admire a splen-
did engine or automobile IN a show
room but il we knew it could not
run or was never intended to fu0c-
ton, its beauty aud attractiveness
} would be meaningless and the use
/ less thing would be laughed at. If
: we saw a man normally endowed
r with strong muscles and keen senses
F.. with natural power stamped on all
D his person and learned that he had
8 never done anything and never in
r tended TO 40 anything we should
have a similar contempt for him.
