That's the end of Mr. McCay's sermon,
short and to the point. Young men ought
to think about it.
Let the rat laugh at the cat, relying on
the hole in the wall behind him. The prob
ability is that no rat ever did anything Of
the kind. One look at the cat is enough.
The rat vanishes if he can. Or if he finds
himself in one of the trait pits" that still dis
grace cities here and there, with terrier
killing vigorously and scores of his rat rela-
lions rushing about in desperation, he
struggles desperately and ceaselessly, how:
ever hopelessly, to escape.
It is the young man, the middle-aged:
man, rather than the rat that laughs at:
threatening danger, when he thinks he has.
"plenty of time left"
There is never "PLENTY of time"
The only time is NOW.
The only chance to get anything
started is to start it NOW
It will be NOW when you DO start it
It will be "To-day" when you DO start it.:
You have got to seize some NOW and some
TO-DAY in which to begin. Time passes,
we say. But as poet has truly remarked:
that isn't it, Time remains, WE PASS.
Time is the watchful old cat, gathering
up men and mice and nations and whales,
burying them from sight when the hour
arrives.
That cat, TIME, is not to be laughed at.
There is no "hole," no YOUTH, no plenty
Of time" and no "all the world before me"
that will save you when the time comes
You have THIS hour and THIS day be-
fore you, and that's all you can be sure Of.

HIS is an editorial about
CAUTION. About being

before you LAUGH.

Milwaukee, suggested the cartoon by send.

Were there no elephants in the

Five interesting sayings. Which do
you consider the most valuable?
AN ignorant man is always slave"
That's true and good to remember. We
are the slaves of our own ignorance, chang
ing ignorance into conceit and then brag-
ging about it. A little learning is danger
GUS thing, they say. NONE AT ALL is a

"Men despise what they do not un-
derstand"
Naturally, it is so much more easy to
despise than to think, and COMPRE-
HEND. Men despised the idea that the
earth was round, that the flying machine
was possible, that boats could be moved by
steam, that it was possible to make floating
ships of steel. In spite of the DESPISING,
the ideas all became realities.

That is, the patience that means hard work

To Complete the Line Above elf Rat Laughs
at Cat" Let the Rat Be Sure That There Is
Hole Wide Open, CLOSE Behind Him.
An Old Saying Is, "WE1en the Rat Laughs at
the Cat There is Hole"
1T Means That the Rat Laughs Only When Sure
That There Is Safety Behind Him, and That
After His Laugh, As the Cat Springs, He Can
Get Safely Away Before the Spring Is Finished.
But Some Rats Have Laughed at Cats Not
Knowing That the Hole Had Been Plugged Up,
Was So Big That the Cat Could Follow Down.
The Foolish, Laughing Rats Referred to Are of
the TW0-Legged Variety, the Human Kind.
Regular F011r-Legged Rats Are Not So Foolish.
They Vanish Soon They SEE the Cat, and
Let Others Do the Laughing.

TRY TT YOURSELF.

A suggestion of the Ford Motor
Company's educational department to
it's employees in the Ford school runs
something like this: "Eat your din
ner in such way that the fellow next
to you can enjoy his"
That is lesson in very simple but
very practical courtesy. The same
spirit and the same kind of elemen-
tary instruction runs all through the
Ford plant. 1t hangs upon the walls
in the motto, +" Help the other fell
low" 1t goes with every "Advisor"
into the thousands of homes of the
company e working force to straighten
out domestic tangles. It dictates the
company's policy to give every man
every possible chance to make good.
Many man has been sent through
every department and into job after
job before the company dismissed him.
That is courtesy in business. High
wages is not the only hold that the
Ford company has upon the loyalty OF
its employees, nor, in the long run, rs
it the most important. OF course It
pays. The strange thing about it is
that so many business men do not be-
iieve that it pays always and for ev-
erybody.
A man was discussing recently this
phase of business with a retired com
mander of the United States Navy
the absolute dominion the head of the
navy or army exercises over subordi-
understanding reason.
ssAlthough it is clearly under
stood" he said, "that an order must
be obeyed, there is always underlying
courtesy beneath a command. Al
though an order is absolute and final,
it appears to be permission to act,
or as request. Remember Dewcy's
famous order at Manila Bay: sYou
may begin firing when you are ready,
Gridley.'
Consideration goes farther than
he continued. SsThe |
that is most real is the au-
thority that guards the self respect of
those who must obey. -

HIS FIRST YEAR AT SCHOOL

Many little children are becoming
acquainted with their first teacher.
They are telling their mothers about
her at night. Perhaps they refuse to
answer questions about her, but they
initiate her in talking to the baby, or
in driving the cows from the pasture,
they sing as she does She is making
them over and they are recording the
fact in many ways.
Do the mothers know herf Invite
her home, mother, and see the young
sons pride as he watches her eat your
delicious rolls and baked apples. She
seems to like them almost as well as
he and father do.
The teacher will thereafter seem
different to your son David. She has
sat at the family table and has helped
far away person that a boy needs to
be afraid of. She is like dear Aunt
Jane who comes to the house some
times; guest the family will always
be glad to entertain.
Father handed her the paper when
mother left to put the last touches to
the meal and she told father how in
terested the big boys and girls are in
the daily paper at school. David Won
ders how soon he can learn to read
well enough to 60 to the school read
ing table and read the daily paper He
means to work very hard at reading
so he can do it before long.
When the new teacher left she told
mother how glad she is to know that
David has such a happy home; when
David thanked her that night for in
viting the teacher, mother said:
!" Mother, at one time, taught school,
David, and she has not forgotten how
much better the work went in the dis
tricts where she was invited to tho
homes.',

It is amusing to note the noise trust
papers make about the 80 cents per
bushel tariff on wheat, and in the
same noise try to brighten the farmers
with reports of wheat being imported
from Canada. The price of our wheat
at Portland and the price of Canadian
wheat (the grades being the same) at
Victoria, B. c., runs about the same.
Then why should the Canadian export
er ship his wheat into this country and
take 30 cents a bushel less for it9
Much Canadian wheat may be shipped
through the United States, but cor
paratively little of it stays here, and
most of this is because of the nearness
of market on this side of the line,
which might save the shipper the
amount of the duty in freight charges
for a longer haul. If the farmer next
year allows these hoodwinkers to in
duce him to vote for the high tariff
crowd that is cleaning him to the
bone, he may expect a continuation
of the cleaning.

THE ROMANCE or WORDS
.FILlsusTERr

THIS word, generally used as
a synonym for pirate" has
a most interesting history, being
derived in an extremely round
about manner from the Dutch
yrijbuiter. translated phonetical-
ly into English as freebooter"
and, by the nautical section OF
the British Isles as "hyboat.'
"Flyboat'' and ''filibuster" do not
appear to have much in common,
but the original yrijbuiter be-
came filibustier in the French
and filibote in the Spanish,
while the pirates and smugglers
who used these craft were
known as filibusteros Thus we
have two words derived from
the same source freebooter
which is OF Enthusiastically Dutch
origin and "filibuster' which is
from the Dutch, by way Of the
French and Spanish.
In this connection 1t is also
interesting to note that the
buccaneers" the generic term
for the pirates that menaced the
Spanish Main, were usually di-
yided into three classes-the
boucaniers who hunted their
prey nearby. the filibustiers who
roved abroad in search of 1t and
the habitans who remained at
home and attended to the bust
ness details.
