SOME THING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. a. WALK E r
THE TRUE VICTORS

a FTER all that is said and sung
about those oft heralded persons
whose names appear with frequency
on the most conspicuous pages of our
newspapers and magazines, it is ques-
tionable, whether in the stern battles
of life they are true victors.
While they wear their laurels with
becoming modesty, you will find, if
you question them in their more seri-
Gus moods that they are not at all
satisfied with the distinction which is
so generously accorded them.
The glare of the lime-light hurts
their sensitive eyes and destroys their
peace. 1t robs them Of the sweet
quietude of home which to them is
dearer than praise.
= At a change Of the wind or the burst
Of a storm, their names sometimes
wither like leaves in the frosty air of
autumn.
Some were cast for leading parts,
but the great majority forgot their
lines, faltered and failed at the cru
cial moment, though clad in fine linen
ana royal purple.
1t is not the man who succeeds in
attaining wealth, or the woman who
excels in dressing her hair and en-
circling her shapely neck with price
less diamonds and pearls who shall
sit in the cool of the day among the
true victors, but the lowly who have
striven to make others happy and
through trial and tribulation kept the
faith
The gentlefolk, the charitable and
kindly are the true victors.
Their names are not blaZed before
an applauding and forgetful world
But instead, the good they have done,
the heavy burdens they have lightened
for fellow travellers have blazoned
their remembrance in ifnperishable let
tiers in myriad homes and hearts and
made life for the unfortunate a peren-
nal spring.
Possibly you may be on speaking
terms with such persons, but if you
are not seeking them out, cultivate
their companionship and initiate in so
far as you are able their adorable at
tributes.
You will know them by the light in
their eyes, the smile on their faces,
their gentle demeanor and their softly
modulated voices that never irritate
or hurt.

Don't Neglect
That Stubborn
Hacking Cough

1t is not only dangerous but entirely
unnecessary to let persistent, hack
ing cough rob you of sleep and strength.
For through a very simple treatment
you can get almost instant relief, and
very often break the most stubborn
cough completely in "a hours.
This treatment is basedon thefamous
prescription known as DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Coughs. You simply take
one teaspoonful at bedtime and hold
it in your throat for Is or 20 seconds
before swallowing it. The prescrip-
ton has a double action. 1t not only
soothes and heals soreness and irrita-
ton, but it quickly removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the real cause
of night coughing. So the coughing
quickly ceases and you sleep right
through urdisturbed.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse-
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic Group, etc.
Fine for children as well as grown
ups - no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon
full. At all good druggists.C Ask for

TIE MeAstIn6 OF N4Aa-

"KELLY," asked the Hotel stenog-
~ rapher, "why don't you run for
alderman in our ward?"
Jaw, dunno" said the House De-
tective. eff they want me, let 'em
ask me-"
"Kelly," suggested the girl, that's
a fat job. The fatter the job the less
likely it will be to run after you. Fat
jobs, like fat people, get winded easily
and they never chase any one very far
81 do not know what this town is
coming to, Kelly. Last year four al
dermen on the city council were not
Irish. The next thing we know they
will elect Cinnamon or something.
at is high time that stalwart Amer
leans were aroused to their sense of
duty to the republic and took office
again. So long as we Irish can con-
troll the contracting business and be
aldermen we need not worry about
who writes the nations songs.
"But sitting still and waiting for a
fat job to drop in your lap like Dead
Sea fruit, as the poet put it, is the
bunk. AT the Battle of Waterloo, Ma
poleon said to his guards, up guards,
and at EN-, and they upped and atted
'em. That's the way to get things,
Kelly, and it's getting things that
counts, not just wanting them.
Il have known girls who went dippy
in the bean over some John and sat
around and waited for him to ask
them while some other girl ponged
and jonged, by hustling for him and
not waiting.
But I guess there are people just
born to be cops and get fallen arches,
while others whose destiny is to be
born of honest Irish parents and grow
up to be alderman and wear a two
quart hat on st. Patrick's day. Maybe
you are right in not going after it
for you certainly would look funny
in a high hat"
