Something TO
Think AbOut
DO YOUR BEST
By F. II. WALKER

" on cannot by any newly conceived
- process hope to get the best and
apply it to the best use, unless you
give the best.
The studious scholar stands at the
head of his or her class simply be-
cause he or she gives the best-the
closest attention, the deepest thought
and the hardest work. Concentration
is wearisome, but 1t produces eff
fective results and yields enduring re-
wards which can be attained in no
other way.
In art, literature, business and In
the crafts, those who become con-
spicuous for their skill, give their best
energy in perfecting themselves, and
as a result they hold the foremost
place in their respective cal!ingS,
command the most respectful consid-
GRAFTON and win the highest recon-
pense.
Life to those who give their best
wears a different aspect from that
which is so dimly seen by the heed
less, heading for no particular port,
lacking the ability to Judge the direc-
ton Of the wind or energy to study
the charts.
Close application, holding constantly
to one specific course, working hour
after hour without every little while
pausing to scan the clock, cannot in
their state Of indifference be done.
Such persons in their reflective
moments may be annoyed at the prog
ress of their rivals, but the annoyance
lacks strength to shake them from
their lethargy.
Any continuous exertlon calling for
excellence, is too violent, too wearing
to body and mind to be tolerated.
SO they remain passive, and when
the frequent ugly moods come upon
them they censure the fates for their
pitiful plights.
How then, can such humans who
habitually and generally from choice
travel among the irresolutes and the
grumblers, blame others for delin-
quencies which are obviously their
own?

WE WERE NOT
SATISFIED
By GRACE E. HALL

CAN you forget the myriad things
~ That made the cycle Of those
years:
The witchery Of tender springs,
The autumn leaves, the tears,
The gray mists blurring out the view,
The somber scenes across the way,
The unsaid things we sensed and knew
Each passing day?
Can you forget the mystic thread
We wove ON fancy's magic loom
Into those days that now are dead
Dead as that first springs bloom?
We watched the gray doves come and
60,
Stood at the window while the rain
Tapped with ghost-touch soft and
low
Against the pane.
The hours were commonplace, we said,
And wished for scenes some other
where,
We saw the sunsets, gold and red,
Watched snow-clouds fill the cir;
Heard song birds in the trees above,
Had all Gods gifts, and yet
We were not satisfied with love
And now-regret!

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"sAFFLE"

XEIHEN, in the literature of
w today, 1t Is necessary to use
synonym for "defeat" or "foll,"
the word battle" Is a recognized
equlvalent-but the origin of the
verb presents an interesting
study In ancient customs and
medieval practices, for 1t was
formerly applied to particular
species Of physical punishment.
Thus, in Beaumont and Fletch-
er's king and No King" a cow
ardly soldier recounts his expe-
siences by saying "They hung
me up by the heels and beat me
with hazel sticks so that the
whole kingdom took notice Of
me for q batfled felon."
Battling" In the days of
chlvalry was the name given to
the ceremony in which n per-
jured or recreant knight, either
personally or in effigy was hung
up by the heels, his escutcheon
blotted, his spear broken in two
and either his body or his like
ness beaten by the bystanders.
This pleasant little pastime is
described by Spenser, who writes
in the "Faerie Queen:
And after all, for greater in
fanny
He by the heels him hung upon
tree,
And baffled so, that all which
that passed by
The picture of his punishment
might see."
The accepted meaning Of the
word today is therefore figura-
tive, rather than literal-an echo
Of the days when knighthood was
in flower.
