Heart Given to God.

The heart once fairly given to God,
with clear conscience, fitting rule
of life, and a steadfast purpose of
obedience. you will find wonderful
sense of rest coming over you. What
once fretted you ceases to dc so; for
mer unworthy exciting pleasures cease
to attract you. No miser ever so
feared to lose his treasure as the
faithful soul fears to lose this resi-
when once tasted. Such words may
seem exaggeratton to those who have
not tried 1t: but the saints will tell
you otherwise. St. Paul will tell you
of peace which passeth understand
ing: Jesus Christ tells you of His
peace which the world can neither
give nor take away, because 1t Is Gods
gift only. Such peace may undergo
many an assault. but 1t will but be
confirmed thereby. and rise above all
that would trouble 1t. He who has
tasted 1t would not give 1t In exchange
for all this life can give; AMI death
is to him passage from this rest to
that Of eternity.-Jean Nicolas Grou,

USING HIS HEAD

II am forgetting about politics for
the present at least and looking after
my business affairs here" Speaker
Dahl is quoted as having said to
Rice Lake Chronotype reporter IL
members of Dahl's assembly had
forgotten political ambition and look
ed after the business end OF their
Madison job, the session probably
wouldn't have been such a fiasco.
Dahl knows that politics and
business don't mix to advantage, and
when it's his own business to be
looked after he wisely drops poll
tics. But the states business, with
the taxpayers paying the freight"
apparently demands no such con-
sideration.

PRETTY BOYS

Did you know that pretty boys de-
velop into the best athletes
Golden curls and delicate features,
supposedly the earmarks of SISSY"
with Young America, are cflen in
dications of great athletic ability,
according to Teddy Hayes, Jack
Dempsey's trainer, who is recognized
as one of the foremost athletic au-
thorities in the world.
No more need the little Lord
Fauntleroys hesitate to leave their
protecting doorways because of the
Shrimp Flynns of the neighborhood
for, says Hays, the good-looking
boy is instinctively an athlete and a
fighter if he will just give himself
a chance.
A good example of his theory is
found in Richard Headrick, diminu-
tive star in John M. Stahl's 'sThe
Wanters," a Louis B. Mayer-Fira-
National attraction, whom Teddy
proclaims project specimen of boy
hood. A beautiful, almost angelic
looking child, at the age of five he is
talented violinist, a brilliant scholar
national screen favorite, an aqua
tic marvel and a wonderful little
athlete. Richard has for the past
two years been the juvenile swiinm.
ing champion of the Pacific Coast
