Something to
Think AbOut
THE RUNNING STREAM
By F. II. WILKER

PROM the shaded woods, the granite
= hills and the running streams leap,
ing in their joy to touch the flowers
that line the sod along the way, peers
| Wisdom with her shining face and
modest eyes.
If, while roaming through leafy
paths you stop a while, you may hear
her voice ON the breeze, trying to make
plain to you the priceless precepts
! which have to do with life here and
life to come.
She viii coyiy tell you that the rsn-
ming stream never becomes stagnant;
that it is constant joy to the roam
ing herds, the feathered focks and
those human bipeds called men, who
stop and stoop by the grassy banks to
quench their thirst. y
And what Wisdom tells You about
the crystal stream applies to lazy
man. loath to accept the truth, but
unable in his perverted logic to move
it from it's imperishable base.
SO, in one way or another, as we
reason we find that the man who is
ever doing. ever planning and creating.
Is the man who seldom becomes duh
or impure
1t Is he who Is the builder, the great
adventurer, the prospector in new
fields, whose penetrating Judgment
sways the destinies of dependent men
and nations, who soon learn to lesk
upon him as their leader.
Such a man cannot be kept down.
He remains bright and luminous by
contact and hard rubs against ffinty
substances and critical tongues.
Unlike the lsiuggard, he refuses to
nope and become stale.
He has an easy politeness in hs
manners, luminous eye, firm grip
and steady step.
He may not be learned in letters, but
he knows what to do with them at his
first Introduction and how to use them
to advantage in his particular sphere
of usefulness. He is the running
stream, watering the soil, turning the
wheels of mills and sending down to
the seven seas mighty ships, creating
wealth for himself and the whole
world.

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl
Bq HELEN RowLAap

TN THE .Old-fashioned love story,
4 there was always the climax, where
the hero folded the heroine in his
arms, at last" but, nowadays, he does
1t at FIRST--and all the rest is anti
climax.
DUTY" Is what a man always thinks
Of quite suddenly, when game, a
Irritation, or a woman has begun to
pail; conscience Is the reaction that
follows boredom.
From the present rapid love af-
fairs and divorce-court-to-alta mar
riages, it looks as though Cupid had
thrown away his arrows, and bought
a machine gun.
Don't fancy a man is in love with
you while he talks about his trumphs
wait until he begins to tell you his
troubles.
If there are really microbes in kisses,
then perhaps microbe has more sense
than we gave it credit for.
To be popular in this world, all you
need to remember is that every woman
loves to be looked at and every man
loves to be listened to.
