WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

TT is madness to live poor and
They only have lived long who
have lived virtuously.
He that would Judge the future
must know the past.
Patience and perseverance are
better than brilliant parts.
There is good in all things for
him who knows how to find it,
He who berates mankind should
remember that he is one Of
them.
Misery is in the mind. Who
thinks himself miserable is miser-
able.
The man that never made a
mistake never made anything
worth making.
What comes from the heart
goes to the heart-what comes
from effort alone ia but tame.
Light, whether 1t be material
or moral, is the best reformer, for
1t prevents those disorders which
other remedies sometimes cure,
but sometimes confirm.
We fancy wants which to supply
we dare
Danger and death, enduring the
privation
OF all free nature offers in her
bounty,
To attain that which, in its full
fruition,
Brings but safety.

DADDY, you see,. had sort Of
stepped out-of the family cir.
~ Gle. Not that it. was any
body's fault-Mother's or Daugh-
ter's or their friends or anybody's
in the whole wide world.
But as Daughter grew into her
teens and became rather charm
ing-like Daddy, though they didn't
think of that!-and up to date-Oh,
frightfully up to date!-she and
Mother became churimy as Ameri-
can mothers and daughters will,
and their life someway or other
was carried on just a step apart
from Daddy's life.
Daughter loved him, you must
understand, but she didn't think
about 1t as often as she thought
about other things.
And Daddy was 80 busy making
money to buy them pretty things
that he sort Of fell a bit behind
their up-to-dateness. His gram
mar got a little slippery. And in
the evening he'd put on his slip
pers--they were old and shabby
and comfortable-and he'd sit in
the little room behind the living
room where everything was old
and shabby and comfortable as
well, with his paper and his books.
And he got to looking old and
shabby and comfortable, so he
didn't always go I'm to meet
Daughters guests. He wasn't
exactly neglected; just left to him
self and it got to be a tradition
about the house that Daddy
wouldn't care for this or for
that"
And years wore along and
Daughters friends became per-
sons of consequence-artist Of
reputation and musicians and
others who had done important
things. And Daddy's hands be-

BIRDS FIGHT
INSECT PESTS

~ IRDS help keep down many
insect pests even when they
- are not sufficiently numer-
Gus to exterminate them over
large area of infestation, and
there are many instances where
the saving of a crop appears to
be entirely the work of birds.
When the Mormons emigrated to
Utah, says the Biological Survey,
United States Department OF Ag-
riculture, in a recent compilation
of instances where birds have
been beneficial, the short-winged
grasshopper, commonly known as
the black, or Mormon, cricket,
came and devoured the crops.
Fields of wheat as promising as
possible in the morning would be
as bare as a mans hand at night.
The second year they came
again, but providentially or mir
aculously, as it was thought by
the Mormons, vast flocks Of
California white gulls suddenly
appeared and destroyed the
crickets, Graduating them for
the time being. The remainder
of the crop on which the Nor
mons had to rely for food the
next season was saved. Since
that time these birds have been
held almost sacred in Utah. A
monument commemorative their
valuable aid stands In Salt Lake
City.
