'Life's Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

An only child or favorite child are
not as fortunate as one might sup
pose.
The fact is they start life bandi-
capped.
Such children receive an undue
amount Of caressing and attention.
This makes them self-centered and
egotistic.
Such children associate more than
is desirable with adults.
Therefore, they become oldish and
develop a peculiar viewpoint Of life
an adult viewpoint built upon imma-
turity.
Only and favorite children lead a
highly-protected life.
Therefore, they fail to acquire that
Strengthening of moral fiber which
competition with children Of their own
age develops.
They become soft and flabby.
They tend to lack grit and endur-
ance.
When such children grow up they
are likely to be poor mixers. They
want to shuu society.
Such children seldom make fast
friends.
Sometimes suspiciousness also de-
velops alongside seclusiveness. This
may lead TO unsocial and even anti
social attitudes.
Having received so many special IA
vors and benefits in childhood, adults
who we're favOrites are likely 10 bt
envious Of the possessions Of others.
Only and favorite children also tend
to marry late or not at all.
They find it difficult to leave tn,
home where they are worships, wher,
they count for so much. They do not
readily transfer their affections to the
opposite sex.
Scores Of case records are available
TO prove the soundness Of the above
statements.
Physicians, especially those whc
have specialized in psychology, NEE
up with the adult problems Of only
and fayorite children every day.
As children such individuals glory
in seeming advantages.
As adults these advantages becom'
handicapped and they are miserable
Parents should bear these principle
in mind.
One child in a family is not suffi
cient for race pcrpetuation any way.
But guard against playing favorite
in any case.
Through meaning well you ma!
SOW the seeds for much future Unbappi
ness.

Sunbeam and Lightning
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The poet Wordsworth once wrote:
"The forked weapon Of the skies
can send
illumination into deep holds
Which the mild sunbeam hath not
power to pierce"
Deep in the hidden holds Of mans
nature often lies subliminal, unguessed
qualities and capabilities which are
never seen under the mild, warm rays
Of fayoring circumstances.
1t takes the lightning Of catas-
thophe or failure, violence or disaster
to reveal these hidden powers.
1t was remarked Of Mark Antony,
the Roman general, that in time Of
stress and impending disaster his true
metal shone forth. lie could stand
anything but easy success.
The story went the rounds Of the
newspapers last winter Of a tramp
drifting from town TO town in the
west, apparently 9 hopeless good-for-
nothing.
Then came the revealing lightning.
The freight he was riding was
wrecked. Crawling out, he risked his
life to pull the engineer from under
the overturned engine where he was in
danger Of being scalded 10 death.
Ulysses s. Grant was n tanner on
n little side street, where he might
have remained had not the lightning
OF the Civil War brought forth those
qualities OF indomitqble resolution 70
which he became famous.
In the depths Of a mild, tender
heart little maid Of Orleans the light
ming Of troublous times revealed the
powers of Joan Of Arc.
4 whitehead. timid little school
teacher, who hated to scold n pupil,
proved the heroine Of the Oklahoma
school fire, last winter, in which she
lost her life.

the small and ill-lit stage Of every
day life," light up the hidden fineness
Of humble men who toll unseen.
Hardships and suffering act as a
refining element upon noble natures.
They bring to light the admirable and
heroic.
The soft south winds OF easy days
produce a race Of mild-eyed Lotus
Eaters.
II is the North wind OF adversely
that lashes men into dauntless Vik-
ings.
Through adversely are spun the
strongest threads Of human character.
There is much truth in the words
Of the poet:
"Things that hurt and things that
mar
Shape the men for perfect praise ;
Shock and strain and ruin
Are friendlier than the smiling
days.
