GIVE OF YOUR ROSES

healthy rosebushes but they produced a scantv sup
ply OF blossoms She guarded these leaously If any
oody picked one there was She said she had so
lew that unless they remained on the bushes she
would have flowers at ALL
One day she went to visit friend in whose Garden
were number OF rose bushes blossomlng protusely
Nhat magnificent roses and what a lot of them"
She exclaimed, lel me how the world you man.
age II! My bushes are just as fine as yours, but
don't have many roses"
L ne answer, replied her friend. lis like the
answer TO most problems-it is simple. Cut your
mowers Cut them freely. The more freely you cut
them the more abundantly they bloom Never permit
a to shatter on the BUSH
People are like rose bushes. The more thev give of
themselves to the world the more they have to give
just as the supply of unlimited if the outlet is
Kept open just the supply of mans talents is unlim-
led II ne does not shut off the by policy of
niggardy economy
Men and women who want to bloom profusely and
magnlfcently must give of themselves profusely and
magnlflcently, according to their individual capab-
ties.
Of course, one can be silly about ones giving One
have nothing with which work just as farmer un-
wisely generous might give away all his seed-corn and
have nothing to plant.
One can give ones strength foolishly until one
breaks down and is unable to do anything. One can
give ones time foolishly until has no time attend
to ones own business One give without judgment,
and thus nip things in the bud
But using our faculties freely and wisely, using
everything have freely and wisely brings us more
of thing in the proportion that we use it.
The more do for the world the more able to
do for the world. And the more we help the world
the more the world will reward The proposition

TIE NEW SPANISH MAIN

The latest story of Rum Row, off the New Jersey
coast is thrilling enough to satisfy taste for ad
venture based on tales of the old Spanish Main.
A French steamship lying at the 12-mile line is
said TO have been boarded by pirates who took off
80 600 cases Of liquor The loot consisted of brandy
whisky, champagne and other wines, and valued at
$500000. The pirates numbered 30 and accomplish
ed their purpose by overpowerng the French and
imprisonng them in the hold for 10 days while they
transferred the liquor methodcay TO several schoon-
ers and carried it ashore.
Seldom in the glad, mad, bad old days when the
Old World was looting the New, more valuable
treasure taken from Spanish galleon by rowing pi
rates 1t might be said that those days have
back again, to remind how little the world changes
On this Spanish Main the situation is reversed
and it is the New World robbing the Old of its
dubious treasure. But the "hjackers' spiritual
descendants of the crews that flew the black flag in
many a sea and swung from many scaffold.
How long will it be until the sea is cleared of them
in turn? And then, for how many centuries will
dig in the sands of many for
their buried loot?
