Something to
Think Ab0uf
LACCING BEHIND

TT YOU would not be counted among
l. those complaining humans who
seem never to find time to do anything
as II should be done, quicken your
)ace and keep step with those In the
front rank, otherwise you will be
branded as "lagger."
A few minutes late in the morning
means that you Will be handicapped
all day, worried, furried and exhaust
ed at night, still behind In the race,
and tormented by fear of losing your
place.
You may not suspect 1t, but the eyes
Of the world are upon you, taking note
Of your habits. Your employer knows
your falllngs In spite of your effort to
hide them. He is where he is because
In his youth he made 1t custom to be
on time, prompt to keep his engage
ments and scrupulously careful to
avoid entangling alliances with lazi-
ness
A sluggish youth, unless the slug
gishness shall be banished In the early
years of life. is pretty certain to be a
sluggish adult, Incapable of assuming
leadership or of breaking away from
the ranks of the incompetents
Any want Of alacrity In action is a
state of Incidence.
When the mind shrinks from the
recognition of this patent truth that,
too, becomes inert, and all the mental
and physical forces cease to function
as nature intends they should.
You may have q desire to lead, but
you continue to lag. You may incline
to be at your desk or bench on time,
but your record for punctuality fails
to show 1t.
In both cases lethargy OF mind and
body checks action, and In spite of
your half-baked Intentions, you re-
main torpid and continue to procrasti-
nate, promising yourself what you
Will do In the years to come.
Away with such visions. Arouse
yourself. The time for achievement
is now. If you permit this day to slip
by without improving every hour,
without excelling your efforts Of yes
terday, there can be no hope of your
advancement In the future.
Life is earnest, and If you would
meet It's ever-changng requirements
YOU, too, must be earnest, wide-awake,
and take your place among men OF
spirit and unfageing energy.

THE THINGS
WORTH WHILE
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH


4-t-e+f++-s-I4--i-l-s-i
THE things worth while are not SO
The things worth while are not so
great;
Whatever else, there isn't any
Like hearts that love and arms that
wait.
With all our working, all our scheming,
With all our labor. all our guile,
With all our doing. all our dreaming.
We often miss the things worth
while.
ALI day we know the competition
OF other men on other guests,
We follow flercely our ambition.
A thousand daggers at our breasts I;
But, II we battle on undaunted.
Success may come. and fortune
smile,
We yet may win the things we
wanted
And yet may miss the things worth
while.
The things worth while, worth more
than money,
Worth more than fame, or place, or
pride,
That keep the road forever sunny.
The heart forever satisfied,
Are children's sturdy arms about you,
A neighbor's hail. a friendly smile,
Some soul that couldn't live without
you
These are the things. the things
worth while.
II you have these, then cease repinins;
Your wealth is won IL you can turn
Tonight to where loves light is shining
In someone's eyes, where candles
burn.
For rich or poor, or high or Lowry.
II smooth the road or long the mile.
II you have these to make life holy
Your heart has found the things
worth while.

In order, therefore, to avoid such
an eventuality it is necessary for
the people to register and vote.
There never was a time, perhaps,
in the history of this country when
there was such an imperative call
upon the citizens to record their
votes. There never was a time when
it was so necessary to have certain
fundamentals disposed of with a
measure of permanency.
The crying demand of the times
is for settled condition, so the peo-
pie can go about their business with
a greater sense of security than has
in the past. few years;
never a time when it was more nee

would be apathy. There is a posi-

Mans Arm Torn by Boar
Held to Protect CrolDd

wild boar as he attempted to escape
into the packed tent, Doc Brennan, vet

on North Washington street, suffered
severe decorations and for while was
at the mercy Of the ferocious hogs

to the Alexandra hospital.
More than a hundred women and
children were In the tent when the
animal went on a rampage as the lee
turer opened the cage door to handle
the pet" With an ugly snarl the anil
NAL rushed for the door. Brennan,
realizing the danger, thrust his arm in
the path of the animal and, as calmly
as possible, summoned aid The hog
was subdued finally by Charley Dozen,
its tanner, but not before Brenan's arm
had been badly wounded.
At the hospital 1t was said that sew
eral Of the wounds in the mans arm
were Of a dangerous nature. The
largest laceration extended the entire
length of the forearm and was more
than an inch deep In places.

May Lead Around World

Atlanta, Ga.-The trail of mother
love that may lead around the world
was blazed through Atlanta the other
day when Mrs. w. @. Shropshire, Lex
ington, KY, passed through here in
search of her elghteen-year-old son.
The boy disappeared from his home
several months ago. He was happy
and apparently contented one day,
Mrs. Shropshire said, and the next he
was gone--Ieaving no trace Of how or
where he went.
Shortly afterward the mother start
ed out alone on her pilgrimage. She
has made a tour of practically the en-

the large cities, but has found no trace
of her son, whom she is confident of
finding, even though she may have to
search the world over.

JOB is BUNGLED
BY YOUNG THUGS
Fail to Obtain Loot After
Gathering Safe.

Brooklyn.-Aspirants to the profess
sion of safe-craking-soft- yeggs
-practiced a bit at the Memorial
cite Presbyterian church. They took
the hinges off the safe, they knocked
the dials off, but still they couldn't
open the door There was nothing of
value In the safe, Ii was said. The po-
lice think the attempt was the work of
been girl in the party, it Is thought
lnasmuch as there was stolen mani
cure set and an apron belonging to
Miss Florence Hopkins, teacher in the
kindergarten annex Of school No. 80,
which holds Its sessions In the center.
Entry to the center was gained
through a window leading into the
gymnasium The intruders then forced
doors leading to the halls and went to
the Office of the janitor, Frank McCon-
nell. His tools and materials were
all under lock and no effort was made
to take them.
Miss Irene Graham, manager Of the
social center, said that 1t has been en-
tered eight or ten times in year. At
one time the intruslons became so fire.
quent that a detective was detailed to
stay in the building nights.
1t is thought the burglars made the
effort to get into the safe In the ex-
pectancy that there might be a good
sized sum in 1t as a campaign to raise
money for the support of the center
s now in progress Miss Graham said
hat she had been taking the money
away from the office daily since the
has been on.
