MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin S. Cobb


friend of mine obtained such distinction
as a lawyer that he was offered-and &C
cepted-a position as chief attorney for one
of the largest lumber concerns in the COun-
try. Until now, he had lived very simply
in the small Southern town where he was
born.
His new office was in Chicago and thither
he moved his family and took house in q
sem-fashionabIe neighborhood. His own in
clination was to go on living quietly. without
any show, but the dignity of his present
eminence seemed to call for more or less
formality in the domestic circle, or at least
the women members of the household
thought so. Rather against his will, the
Southerner consented to the hiring of four
servants, including butler.
The butler was English and behaved as
such. On the morning when he reported
for duty he sought his new employer, who
was sitting in his library going over some
papers.
II wished to arsk you some questions,
sir, regarding my mode Of dress?" began
the butler.
IF you think my advice is worth any
thing in such matters, go ahead" said his
master.
well sir, when no one except members
of the family are at meals, l take it you
will not require that the staff shall wear
special dress?"
"Suit yourself" said the lawyer. I'D
like for everybody around here to feel per-
fectly comfortable and entirely at home"
'Quite so, sir" said the butler. bit puz-
zled, ''but 'ow about when we ave guests
in for dinner, sir? l presume then you will
expect me to wear full dress-evening
clothes, you know, sir?"
Say" demanded the southerner,. "have
you got a complete outfit of evening
clothes?"
"Of course. sir
"Well, then, l tell you what-when we
have distinguished company You needn t

Tell Him Now

If with pleasure you are viewing any
work a man is doing,
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now;
Don't withhold your appreciation till
the parson makes GRAFTON
And he lies with snowy lilies DER
his brow.
For no matter how you shout it, he
won't really care about it,
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed.
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to him
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval of
friend.
For it gives to life SAVIOR and makes
you stronger, Drawer
And gives you heart and spirit to the
end.
If he earns your praise, bestow it; if
you like him, let him know it.
Let the words of true encouragement
be said;
Do not wait till life is over, and he's
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.

Swift Flight of an Insect

The dragon flies and gadfies pro-
badly move more rapidly at times
than any bird or airplane. One in
sect at least can fly SO swiftly that,
according to an accredited writer in
Nature Magazine, human sight can
not follow it. While in fight it ap-
pears to make absolutely no record
on the retina of the eye. This in
sect is a frequenter of rapids OF
mountain streanms in the eastern
United States. It's larva is believed
to live in the water. The family to
which it belongs contains about
dozen other American species, all of
them slow-moving and living in the
water in all stages of their develop
ment. This beetle is an exception to
its family in that the adult moves
swiftly and lives in the air. ut is
fair to say that it flies with some
thing like the speed of bullet" 1t
checks the velocity of its fight IN
fraction of second and manages to
alight right side up and in the pos
session of all its faculties.

Rampant VictOrianism

Cleveland Plain Dealer: If Ameri-
can college girls sometimes think
they are placed under too severe re-
straint let them give a thought to
their sisters in England.
Oxford under certain restrictions
admits women students, and now
these 'co-eds" have joined in petit
ton that the code of rules which gov
ems their conduct be either modified
or altogether abrogated. One can
scarcely censure them.
A woman student at Oxford must
obtain the permission OF a college
principal before she may join So
oiety open to both men and women.
If society meetings are held in a
mems college the permission of the
dean must be obtained before a wo-
man may attend, and junior woman
must invariably be accompanied by a
senior woman. Mixed theater parties
are restricted; and mixed parties in
eating places are prohibited except
between 2 and $3.50 p. m.
No girl may go for a walk or a
bicycle ride or an automobile ride with
a man other than her brother unless
the principals permission is obtained,
and there must always be at least
two girls in such a specially ordained
walking or riding party.
These are only a few of the rules
which make up the burden of the Ok
ford girls. They complain that such
code is based on "the moral STAN
dards of 1875" and protest vigorously
against the handicap under which
they are placed and the implication
of inferiority.
The American system seems to be a
happy medium between too great free
dom and the silly restraint against
which the British girls are rebelling.

Why We Live

Ell Dorado Times: The Great NV
stery is not what becomes of us after
we die, but why we live at ALL
Through all the centuries man has
sought to penetrate the black curtain
and learn what awaits him in the
hereafter.
BY the law of cause and effect, the
condition in the hereafter depends on
the life we live here.
All religions of large followings
agree that this life is preparatory to
what follows after death. This is
true from the Christian believing that
heaven awaits him if he behaves and
obeys the rules, to the Oriental who
fears that if he doesn't live properly
on earth he will have to come back
and do it all over again.
Life must have definite purpose.
1t cannot be aimless. Everybody has
a purpose-even the falling of a dead
leaf, to feftilize the soil and send it's
strength back into the tree from which
it came.
Life is journey between two un-
known stations. Life is training
school-a spiritual gymnasium, in
which obstacles and temptations are
sent to develop our spiritual strength.
We come into this world with GER
tain definite tasks to do. These tasks
are in proportion to our natural abili-
ties.
The man who is destined to dig
bitches all his life and who does the
best he can, is as much success as
the man who leads the people polite
ally or as head of giant industries.
The thorough ditch digger, living as
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-07-09

a good citizen, is far greater sue
cess than the man who, given great
power in life, abuses his power or
fails to use it for the accomplishments
of good.
Success is not thing that can be
measured by any universal yardstick.
1t is relative to our natural abilities
and opportunities.

 we cannot permit a million square miles to fall into the hands of another power If we don't make the flight this summer the entire Arctic region will be mapped and pho tographed by another nation within a year,
