THE PURPOSE
We could see no lay of light and no hope
to lead on;
When the heavy blow had fallen the la st
shred OF faith seemed gone.
Yet a richer life is ours by the burdens we
have known,
And we've come to see Gods purpose thru
the long years that have flown.
Were lives by one day counted, that
black day had taken all.
For the dreams which we had cherished in
disaster seemed to fall
But the days Of men are many and the
passing OF the years
May be needed ere the purpose Of bitter
loss appears
Not today we see the wisdom of the hurt
which we must bear;
Now the way seems dark and drezry and
no light IS shining there,
But Gods purpose gIows beneath it. in a
way you cannot know-f
When the years have soOthed your Eorrow
you shall learn it's better so.

YOUR SPIRIT.

It's the spirit that you carry around
in your heart that people know you
by.
The spirit of a person is so much
like the perfume that goes with so
many flowers. We love the flowers
that draw US close to them by their
delicate doors.
Not long ago I had the privilege of
being in a section where the oranges
grow, and one evening as we drove
blossom perfume swept over us and
seemed to envelop US. For a moment
we felt as tho we were in an en-
chanted country.
How many there are who cast a
beautiful atmosphere about you when
ever they come into your presence.
How stimulating is the spirit of
some people. How you want them to
stay around.
Carry a beautiful spirit in your
heart and you will attract the same
spirit to you
Hungry hearts are fed by the sweet
ening influences that radiate from
people who carry kind and even and
clean spirits within them.
And it is the spirit in which you do
things that counts above everything
else.
I read a book last evening. The
author has long since gone upon his
silent journey, but I could feel his
fine and lofty spirit still alive moving
as 1 read and sought to feel as he felt.
Your spirit will make you happy if
you tell it to. For, you see. you have
to tell your spirit what to do-and
then it acts so gladly and so quickly

Now when men want women COM
panions on the golf links, or hunt
ing expeditions, we have the athletic
woman who can tramp miles without
turning a hair, and shoulder her gun
with the best sportsmen.
When man admired delicacy and
fra gility in a woman. we had women
who tainted at the sight of a mouse,
and who made a cult of invalidism.
Now, when men will have nothing to
do with sickly women, you never see
a woman swoon, or hear one admit
to being sick.
At the beginning of the war we had
butterfly women who, when men need
ed women to help them, turned into
heroic nurses, and canteen workers,
who never flinched under fire.
These things never change. Women
always live up to mems blue china.
Girls are just as nearly what men
want them to be as they can possibly
make themselves Adam does his own

honest she will blame him, and not

The gains shown in car loading to-

one OF the reasons for optimism which
have recently been reflected in a be-
ginning Of railroad purchases on a
much larger scale than has prevailed
for several years. While there are
still some 100000 freight cars out of
service for need OF repairs. it points
out. the number Of serviceable surplus
cars had been reduced from 500. 900
to 2O6.74s by March 81 this year. The
number OF carloads of freight handled
UP to April l. when the coal strike be-
gan. has been greater than It has been
for any other of the past five years,
except the record year 1920. The to-
tai car loading since April 1 has
shown a reflection of the reduced coal
production but from January 1 to
April L the total number of cars load
ed with revenue freight was 9.996,1s4
as compared with 9.O15.934 during the
corresponding period of 1921. aItho it
was less than FOR 1920, when a total
OF 10.223.S13 cars were loaded.

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY E. HOUSE
ITrom Philadelphia Public Ledger.l

"It may interest you to know"
writes J. o., that one of your favortte
words'is used by Gertrude Hall in her
translation of Rostand's 'Chanticleer'
(1910). Chandelier says, I say that
these befrizzled, beruffled, bedeviled
cocks were never stroked and cher
ished by Natures maternal hand 1
say it's all aviculture and agriculture
is flapdoodle-'
We fancy we know where Miss Hall
got it. She probably read the story
we wrote about Thomas w. Lawson
Western Chautauqua Circuit in the
summer of 1905. She must have read
our story, because Mr.. Lawson seemed
to have all of the New York reporters
who were travelling with him in the
grasp of his spell.
Since then the spring rains of seven
teen years have rippled beneath the
bridges. Meditation and reflection
have long sat in the chair once occu-
pied by primitive emotion. We leave
it to the jury. Did we. or did We not
use the right word in the connection?
We refer to the matter that we
may polish an observation upon it.
The summer of 1905 is in the lap of
time, but. the Thomas w. Lawsons are
perennially recurrent.

Sir-You might, perhaps. win a
prize in a golf tournament and I
might, in a million years, win a linn
erick prize, but neither you nor I is
mentally or educationally equipped
to give an intelligent criticism of the
worlds greatest literary masterpieces.
Tho I guess we can tell a hawk from
a handsaw when it comes to knowing
who is who and what is what in the
literary world.
But, anyhow. lay off the Shake
speare stuff. It's sacrilege to talk
about the greatest dramatic poet OF all
ages the way you did in last Sundays

MT we express our personal reactions
to Shakespeare, or to any other fig
ure in history? We haven't DETAINED
Shakespeare or questioned the liter
airy judgment or good taste of his adj
mirers. We merely tried to indicate
the reason he fails to appeal to eighty
we think of Shakespeare. or any other
historical figure is unimportant, but
free, frank and honest expression is
the basic stone of democracy.
The trouble with H. e. H. is that
he has an inferiority complex. 1t is
the man with an inferiority complex
who is licked before he starts.
The news that one of the fierce
Cossaks is in jail in New York fails
to intrigue. What we want to know
is, where were the fierce Cossa cks
during the war?

Mother doesn't approve of the free

She thinks it indecent for a girl to let
a boy kiss her. and she asks If there
are no more modest girls left To
which little Eve cynically replies that
If there are, they haven't any beaux,
and that men won't stand for prunes

And Eve knows her business now, rs
she has always known it turnout the

herself to man. So if anybody is to

men. Not the poor little flappers.
