BY DIR. frank Crane
One Of the profoundest mysteries in the
world is that the one you have wronged is
not so likely to hate you as the one that has
wronged you
There is no spite so terrible as the spite OF
the person who has done you an injury and
knows it and knows that you know it.
Perhaps this is due to the "inferiority CONF
pick" That is, when you have done man
wrong he realizes that you are morally be-
meath him and he looks down you bit;
but when has done you a wrong he
feels that he is morally beneath you and res
sents it.
The most constant and ineradicable weed
in the garden of the human heart is envy.
I remember when I was a boy that found
it difficult to understand why the people cru

was amazed at the fiendish delight of those
who crucifed Him.
Since L have grown older have come to-
understand this strange quality in human
nature. :
There is no doubt in the world thatwe take
an impish delight in dragging down the man
who is in a high position. When the deacon
in the church is discovered to be an em%
bezzler there is more Joy among the ungodly
than over ninety and nine whose names are
yet unsmirched.
Shakespeare notes the same quality In the
way the world regards feminine beauty and
charm.
''Be thou chaste as ice and pure as snow,
yet shalt thou not escape calumny.''
1t is very hard not to believe in the devils
Indeed, much more difficult to disbeieve in
him than to believe in him.
For there Is trait in human nature that
is pure devil. 1t does not seem just to att
tribute it to our brute ancestry for the ami
mails have nothing so evil.
The very worst trait of human nature is
that feeling of anger that springs up in us
when we see another handsomer, happier,
better or more fortunate than ourselves
And this is a very positive thing and often ,
takes the form of desiring to hurt. :.
| like to believe in humanity and really
think that all men are fair and all women
are good. But the troublesome fact continues :

pleasure in dragging down those who are UP,

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BV Irwin S. Cobb

There is a writer in New York who never
does today what he can put off until tomOr
row. All the same, among the editors, his out
put is always in demand Some time ago, in
careless moment, he took on a contract to
furnish given number of humorous articles
at stated intervals for publication in a popular
periodical.
One day about noontime two of us dropped
in on him at his office. We found him bumped
up at his desk his coat off, his sleeves rolled
up, and his pen racing across the paper.

take you out to lunch with u.s."

LIFE'S EXAMINATIONS
BV H. AddinotOn Bruce

n nee more the end of a school year has
I come. Once more, throughout the land
~ boys and girls for whom it is the last of
all school years are inwardly exclaiming, with
signs of relief:
Thank goodness, I've done with examina-
tons. No more grinding, no more toiling to
pass tests"
How different the actuality is, how severe
the examinations that lie before them. And
how important it is for them to appreciate, as
they matriculate into the higher school of
business life the nature of the tests they will
have to pass.
Hitherto they have been examined only as
to proficiency in textbook subjects. In some
of these they could gain a passing mark by
mere memoriZation. In almost all, attentive
reading would suffice
They must still do niue. reading. They
must continue to exercise their memory vigor-
ously. In addition they must think harder
than they ever thought in preparation for
schoOlroOm examinations, and they must use
their powers of observation, of judgment, of
self-control, as they have not before been
required to use them.
Consider some of the tests to which the
young academic graduate will inevitably be
put in the school of business life:
Demonstrate your willingness and ability to
render useful service in doing the work for
which you have been employed.
Make plain that you can learn from your
mistakes, and are able to stand criticism
Prove that you possess patience, ana nave
an acuuiescent comprehension of the essen
tails of good workmanship. Grade to hlSh
mark in neatness, accuracy, thoroughness.
Show that you are not lacking in creative
Imagination. Try, for example, to think up
original ideas that will either reduce costs or
increase profits. D..
Reveal social adaptablity in your relations
with employers, fellow employees, and the pur-
chasing public.
Give specific and persistent evidence OF
your understanding of such matters as tact,
geniality, sympathy, kindness, goodwill
honesty.
Such list as this, moreover, is only par
tial enumeration of the tests of the school OF
business life. And precisely as in, the text
book school of childhood and youth, in pro-
portion as all the tests are successfully passed,
promotion is gained or the stigma of retarda-
ton inflicted.
Alas when that stigma is inflicted in the
school of business life, what penalties 1t car
ries with it!
There is the penalty of loss of work, or or
perpetual limiting of opportunity to work or
an unremunerative sort. There is the penalty
of bitter regrets, of misery engendered by a
painful consciousness of inferiOrity to other
people.
And in most cases, mark this well, retarda-
ton in the school of business life is something
that might readily be avoided.
That multitudes do not avoid 1t is due usu-
ally to one of two things. 1t is due either to
Inadequate appreciation of the tests which
business life insists to lack of earnest
effort to pass those tests occasion presents

Would never make my passion chill,

Or spear your bread; or if / viewed
