WEAK CHARACTERS
PITY THEMSELVES

Have you among your friends or
acquaintances any men or women
who are always plying themselves?
If SO. YOU can set them down as weak
Iings. Self-pity is self-destruction.
Self-pity saps ones self-reliance.
Self-pity saps ones self-reliance.
Self-pity breeds despair. The strong
don't indulge in self-pity. They are
too busy thinking and working and
talking cOnstruCtively. They are IN
tent on attaining some object, some
goal. They are so engrOSsed in prac-
ticing seIf-help that they have 40 time
to waste on self-pity.
Self-pity is not only bad habit; 1t
is a poisonous habit. 1t hurts sell
and it disgusts others. The person
who is chrOnically guilty of self-plty
hasn't in him the spirit of self-sacrl-
flee, and without self-sacriice no hu-
man being can qualify to go far or
rise far Self-pity reveals lack OF
self-discipline.
We all encounter difficulties and
discouragements; we all have amb1-
tions thwarted. But we do not let
discouragements discourage; we do
not give up because baked and
thWarted time and again; we do not
wear our occasional streaks OF pes
simism on our sleeve or on our
countenance We keep a stiff upper
lip. We wrestle on And we smile
on. We don't become cry-babies. We
may inwardly vince, but we don't
finch We don't pour tales of Woe
into the ears of Others-we know they

SPOT IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Is STILL UNEMPLOYED

SCENIC, S. D.-Half a dozen miles
southwest of this town, in the very
heart of the bad lands, Big Foot Wall
stretches away to the southwest and
the northwest for miles Between this
wall and the pinnacles on the west by
Sage Greek Wall is an area Of ap-
prOximately four square miles. No
white mans foot has ever rested
there, so far as can be learned.
The Indians call the plot "SiChi
Makoche" meaning Bad Place" A
large scale map of Pennington coun-
ty, drawn in 1908, describes the place
as "Badland bluffs and canyons, i'm
possible Of survey"
Occasionally one of the Dakota
(Sioux) Indians who will talk, tells
strange tales about this particularly
rugged portion of South Dakota.
Deep canyons and gOrges lead up to
spire-like pinnacles and every at
tempt to follow their tOrtuous paths
thus far has ended in failure. But
fling cul-de-sacs greet the explorer at
every path.
Chief Flaming Arrow, a veteran Of
the frontier days, gives what probably
is the Sioux belief. Many years ago,
the chief said, before the pale face
came, there was the place where
dwelt Wankinyan Thunder Bird)
high in the pinnacles of stone. This.
wall OF rock kept out unwelcome WISH
tors, the chief contended and added
that the protected area is rich in food,
sunlight and warmth and has pure
cold streams of running water.
The old chief said that perhaps at
some time, someone may have found
their way into the place, but if so
they never returned.

The annual yarn about squirrels

A wife advertises for her hubby,

to match some ribbon for her.
Now that Harding has made Irwin
Cobb a major, our army is increased
to wartime strength again.
One of the saddest sights of modern
times is seeing man hugging a girl
because he wants her vote.

THE WASHERWOMAN'S SONG

In very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap
Worked woman full of hope;
Working, singing all alone,
In a sort of undertone
with Saviour for a Friend,
He will keep us to the end"
Sometimes happening along
| have heard the semi-song,
And I often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But | never said a word
In regard to what I heard,
AS she sang about her Friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long was she,
AS her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long:
with a Saviour for a Friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song I do not sing,
For I'scarce believe thing
OF the stories that are told
OF the miracles of old;
But l know that her belief
Is the anodyne Of grief
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be:
But her spirits always rose
Like the bubbles in the clothes
And though widowed and alone.
Cheered her with til e monotone
OF a Saviour and Friend,
Who would keep b er to the end.
/ have seen her r lib and scrub
On the washboar1 in the tub.
While the baby fopped in suds.
Rolled and tumbled in the duds
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools
She was humming of her Friend
VINO would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs .
And | would not wish to strin
From that washerwoman's lin
Any song that she can sing
Any hope that song can bring
For the woman has Friend
VINO Will keep her to the end.

Once Badger politicians tossed their
