To Be Happy Keep Busy
SAYS

You cannot test your muscle sitting still. You cannot find out what
your brain can do by going to sleep. Repose is not a prodder to progress.
Its proper place Is after work, not before work. Work is for the HY-
ing; rest for the dead. Be a live one.
Work Is the noble yardstck by which We determine the worth of all
things. 1t Is a blessing, not a curse.
The man who never does anything never knows anything. The nan
VINO never works never gets anything. He may be given things, but he
can only again give. He knows no building game.
The Travelled rail and the driving piston rod r polished by use. The
idle piece Of steel Is red with rust. Better to wear out than to rust out
index you cannot find the names Of oilers. Contribute something to

To know work a a friend is the hallmark of wisdom. It is by
journeying through the shadows of life that W e learn the solace Of
daily tasks.
The tenderness that denies effort Is cruelty. 1t makes characteHess
that which was endowed with strength.
Work Is expression. If you can't express yourself n way try n

something.
Only workers win the worlds respect God does not hold IS respon-

1t. There is. however. an unwritten

Yours very truly,
READER.

Though it seems. this assumption
might be correct, it is not. A nan
should always walk on the side 2
est to the curb, whether he is with
one. two or three persons. this rule
has no exception. TIE origin Of this
rule on Etiquette, Ike many others,
we do not know, but probably it was
the possibility of a horses nose or
automobile humping those nearest
the curb that ruled that man. the
protector, as well as provider,
should take that place.
