"Henry Watterson," said Louis

he hated gluttony like sin.
"Gluttons, he claimed, couldn't keep
their minds off their stomachs. He
said he once visited an English lord,
and the smoking room of the castle
was crowded with trophies of the lords
skill in the hunting field.
"A fat glutton was among the party.
He, with the rest, admired the fine
display of antlers-horns of the noun
tain sheep, the elk, the antelope, the
wild goat, moose and so on. Then
there were skins-bear skins, bison
skins, tiger skins. And stuffed birds

Something to Think About
By F. A. UALKER

hour In life who managed to turn
about, pull themselves together and
snatch themselves from precarious
positions, but the numbers were
small, for their strokes were light
and their old habits were strong and
hard to break.
They lacked the staying power and
the flexibility of youth
SO has wagged the world and so II
will ever wag until the crack of doom.
If you wish to pick success, plant
your orchard while In the full vigor
Of life so that you may gather the
fruit and enjoy It while your senses
Of appreciation are still keen and
your faculties yet alert.
Make friends, but do your own dig
ging, your own pruning and your own
watering. II your friends scoff at your
industry, dig all the harder, think
harder and keep at your work in heat
and cold.
Seek the counsel of those who came
here before you, your father and
mother, for they know where your
feet are likely to slip and your judg-
ment is liable to err.
Do these things without turning
either to the right or the left and
nothing save death can stop you In
the ultimate realization Of your fond

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PECUNIARY"

IF, AFTER being promised a
= "pecuniary reward" for the
performance Of certain serv-
Ice, person were to receive a
sheep, he would probably feel
that he had been deceived or
that the one who had made the
promise had gone back on his
word. But, in its primary
meaning, ''pecuniary" means
relating to Sheep" being taken
verbatim from the Latin pecunia
which, In turn. Is derived from
pecus, sheep.
The transformation grew out
Of the custom Of the Romans of
measuring mans wealth by
the number Of sheep which
grazed over his pastures. A
"man Of many sheep" was the
equivalent Of wealthy citizen.
for sheep were valuable not only
for their wool but also as an
article of diet. Gradually, the
root-word pecus was heightened
to pecunia. the equivalent of
money" or worldly posses
sions.r and its pastoral origin
was almost completely obscured
when transplanted into English.
Should restaurant, therefore,
advertise a "pecuniary stew" II
would not necessarily mern that
dollar bills and gold pieces ap-
pear In the dish. but 1t would
merely be an etymologically al
lowable synonym for tne old
standby, mutton stew"
