For Meditation
100000
By LEONARD A. BARRETT
THE SIXTH SENSE

a FAMOUS artist had three pupils.
\ The first worked hard and long,
earnestly endeavoring to reproduce a
copy of one of his masters paintings.
In spite of all his efforts he did not
achieve success. He was only a copy
list, an 1mitator. The second pupil en-
deavOred to attain success by studying
the technique of his art. He listened
to great lectures. He read all the liter
allure he could find upon the subject of
his art. There was not a great art
gallery that he did not visit. He could
easily Identify the works of the mas
ters He was splendidly educated in
the science of his subject, but he never
learned to paint. He could rise no
higher than third-rate artist. The
third pupil did all that the other two
achieved, but went one step further.
He daily sought for opportunities
when he could associate with his mas
ter and teacher. He studied every
movement of his brush. He worked
with him long enough to have caught
his spirit. He was rewarded by be-
ing able to paint with the same skill be-
cause he painted with the same spirit.
The spirit of the teacher reproduced
itself in the works of the pupil.
The person who succeeds in life is
the one who can interpret to others
the spirit of his task. 1t is true In
the commercial world as 1t is true in
the world of the arts and sciences,
that the man who would rise in the
ranks of toilers Is he who is more than
a mere imitator or an abstract ideal
list. To convince another of the sal
ability Of an article Of merchandise
one must have for sale something
more than the article itself. He must
impart that invisible something" that
convinces and impells, and persuades
the name "to be written on the dotted
line" This invisible something might
be called the sixth sense for through
1t there is disclosed to another what
is impossible through any of the other
five senses. The elements which made
up personality are invincible. The per-
son who does not give himself through
his works fails. The unreal-imitatiOn
and pretense-is shuffled off in the
struggle. 1t can go just so far and
no further 1t can never reach the
summit heights of success. Only the
REAL can do that.

Everyone congratulated Billy Goat
upon his song which was quite orig
inal one. The words, everyone said,
were a little better than the music,
but 1t was all good, all good, they
said.
And Billy Goat was delighted with
the praise. In fact so delighted was
sing, though he'd have to think lit
tie about 1t.
While he was thinking, though, he
was talking about 1t.
You see" he said, II heard one of
the young ladies talking the other
day, and it seemed she had gone to
town dressed in all her old clothes
because it had been a rainy day when
she had started.
"Yes, she had on an old hat, and
old shoes and rubbers, and an old
skirt and coat. And no sooner had
she reached town than the sun came
out and there was she on this most
beautiful day feeling so like an old
rainy day.
So this is the song I'm making up
about that:
There's nothing sadder in this world
Than to have the sun come out
When you're dressed in all your old
clothes
Because You were in doubt.
"Of course" said Billy Goat, "she
had been in doubt as to whether she'd
wear her good ones because she had
seen a little blue sky in one corner Of
the sky but she had been afraid that
1t would rain"
1--WE see, we see; fine verse, Billy
Goat. We shall have to name you
the Poet of the Barnyard. Truly that
would be an honor and one that you
deserve" the other animals said.
So when the creatures all came to
the Barnyard Reunion Billy Goat or
Sir William Goat, the Gentleman, was
also called "The Barnyard Poet"
Yes, everyone was on hand, or per-
haps one should say on foot, for the
reunion. Porky Pig and Mrs. Duck
helped to entertain.
The song sparrOws came and the
owl sent word he was sleeping or he'd
come. (They hadn't asked him so
they were just as glad he couldn't
Gomez The Dog who had become SO
brave came along. so did SHARPLY
Squirrel, Running Rabbit, Mrs. Blue
Jay, and all of the ducks and pigeons
and hens and ROSTERS and pigs and
geese and turkeys.
In fact it was a splendid reunion
and there was excellent food, though
OF course the Pig family forgot about
entertaining any but themselves when
the food came along!
But there was enough to go around
The Geese weren't quite as polite
as they should have been, of course,
but taking 1t all in all it was a splen-
did barnyard reunion.

Farm-Boy Botanist

The first botanical garden in the
New World was founded in Kingses.
sing, near Philadelphia, by John Bar
tram, pioneer botanist of America,
who was born at MARBLE, Pa, March
%, 1899. Reared on farm, by self
education Bartram obtained such a
thorough knowledge Of botany that he
was pronounced by Linnaeus the
greatest natural botanist in the world.
He also was appointed american bot.
anist to King George Ill" His son,
William, was also great botanist
and so strong was his passion for the
science that he wrote a wonderful
treatise on a plant just a few mo-
ments before his death in 1923.

Flute-Player Never
Popular in Society

Flute-playing seems to have gone
entirely out of fashion. Can this be
due to the denunciation which this
most ancient of musical instruments
has received from the pens Of eminent
writers?
Violinists and pianists may figure
In fiction as heroes and heroines, but
performers upon the flute are gener-
ally introduced into novels only as
comic or unpleasant characters.
At least three comic characters Of
Dickens were fiute-players; Dick Swi-
weller, who took to it as good
sound, dismal occupation" and was
consequently requested to remove
himself to another lodging; Mr.. Nell,
the schoolmaster, who made the
most dismal sounds ever heard pro-
duced by any means, natural or arti-
ficial;" and the young gentleman at
Mrs. Todgers' musical party, who
"blew his melancholy into the flute"
Bulwer Lytton wrote Of a clever
schoolboy who "unluckily took to the
flute and untitled himself for the pres
ent century," and Charlotte Bronte
represents "inept curates" as perform
ing upon it.
And then there was Goethe, who
summed up the case against the flute
by saying: "There is scarcely a more
melancholy suffering to be undergone
than what is forced on us by the
neighborhood Of an incipient player
ON the flute"

Early Tax Exemptions

Cows were exempt from taxation
in Ohio under the act of February 8,
1925. That act was the first provision
for general property taxation and
there were many exemptions, certain
kinds Of property being regarded as
important in a new settlement. How
ever, the COW exemption covered only
one COW in the name of any one own
er. The exemption was to encourage
every householder to have COW.
Among other forms of property exempt
ed were factories producing nails,
leather, glass, salt, cotton or wooden
goods, grist and saw mills, paper mills
and distilleries. Whisky seems to
have been looked upon then as an in
dispensable product. To encourage
purchase of lands in the state by set
tiers, the act provided that such lands
should be free from taxation for five
years after the purchase.-Detroit

Gem of Poetic Fancy
Is "America's Making"

This Interpretation of the United
States, titled Americas Making" was
written some years ago by Rabbi Abba
Hillel Silver of the Temple, Cleve-
land. 1t has been widely copied and
quoted.
"God built him a continent Of glory
and filled it with treasures untold;
HE studied it with sweet flowing
fountains and traced it with long
winding streams;
He carpeted it with soft rolling
prairies and columned it with thun-
dering mountains;
HE graced it with deep-shadowed
forests and filled them with song,
"Then he called unto thousand
peoples and summoned the bravest
among them,
"They came from the ends Of the
earth, each bearing gift and hope,
"The glow of adventure was in their
eyes, and in their hearts the glory of
hope,
"And out of the bounty of earth
and the labor of men;
"Out of the longing Of hearts and
the prayer of souls;
"Out of the memory of ages and
the hopes of the world,
Sod fashioned a nation in love,
blessed it with purpose sublime, and
called it America"

Excuse Not All Bad

When l make an excuse for myself
and goodness knows l have made
many Of them-I always feel some
what guilty. Yet l am not sure that
the excuse habit is entirely without
its good side. 1t evidences at least
disposition to make matters appear
better than they really are, and this,
in turn, evidences a pride or self-re-
spect Of sort, which qualities are
commendable to some extent. The
difficulty lies in ones inability to re-
pair consequences in this way. AS
Lem Gidge said to the family COW,
"Your eyes are wellsprings of inno-
cence and your bearing is that of
blamelessness, but the milk's spilled
and your foot's in the bucket just the
same, dodblast you !"-Portland Ore
gonian.

Brewing beer was respectable
household task among families along
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers 1900
years ago. Evidence of this high
antiquity of the craft of brewing and
its place in ancient social systems of
Babylonia and Egypt has been traced
by German scientists of the Society of
History and photography of Brewing.
There were laws about drinking In
those days, the report shows. Certain
rations of beer were allowed to each
ass of workers. Beer was also used
- mixing medicines, and as an offer
ing to the gods. Brewing was an Or
ganized business as early as 5000 B.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
THE BEAUTY SHOW

nor the first beauty show, the orig
L inal ancestor of that now popular
modern institution, we must go to the
pages of Greek mythology and the
award which caused the Trojan war!
It all started when Eris, the Cod
dess of Discord, enraged at not being
invited to a certain wedding, threw
among the guests a golden apple
marked, "For the most beautiful"
Juno, Venus and Minerva each made
claim, and Jupiter, who was expected
to make the decision wisely passed
the buck to Paris, the beautiful shep-
herd.
All three goddesses went to Paris,
on Mount Ida, where he tended his
f1ocks. Juno promised him power and
riches, Minerva glory and renown in
war, and Venus the fairest of women
for his wife. 1t was Venus who got
the golden apple, and, under her pro-
lection, Paris went to Greece as the
guest of Menelaus, king of Sparta. 1t
was Helen, the wife of Menelaus,
whom Venus had destined for Paris.
And now Paris, aided by Venus per-
suaded her to elope with him, and so
started the Trojan war, the subject of
the greatest poems Of antiquity.
Speaking Of modern beauty shows,
the one held at Spa, Belgium in Sep
TENDER, 1888, appears to have been the
first. There were three hundred ap-
plications, we learn, and a French girl
took the prize.
