He must have been through a lot
said one woman.
"Pshaw"', said the other. He has
never known what it means TO &C
hungry, or to be without a place to
sleep"
Does experience, however, require
physical suffering?
Does lack Of the barest comforts
of life entitle one to set himself up as
having been through a lot? And
has the man who can put up no claim
to such deprivation lost his title to an
understanding heart and mind?
Plain truth would put the matter
differently.
Old age Is not gray hairs, said the
son of Sirach: nor is experience merely
the group of events that occur in the
life of tramps.
While the hard knocks of the world
may help in the proper understanding
OF life. they are not essential IL one
have the eyes that sees, the mind that
understands and the heart that loves
Such trio of requirements is more
necessary than any amount Of crude
occurrences in actual life. The pos

Still waters run deep, says the say

One would not attempt to minimize
the chalice of suffering, but this much
may be said: Understanding is neces-
sary, in any event, and If the under
standing comes from keener inner
vision, then 1t may suffice.
Lack Of bed and board are mere sur
face indications. In the case Of Booker
T. Washington, as set forth in his
memorable up From Slavery" they
meant a great deal.
1t is probable that the hardships to
which Theodore Roosevelt submitted
himself did not mean as much. He al
ready had the understanding heart,
which knew about life by instinct.

Some persons have an instinct for
understanding.
They have minds that understand,

Q. How can petrifed wood be
polished?-E. j. G..
A. Petrified wood Is polished with
buffing wheels of felt charged with tin

Diary equipment of cutting saws, grind
ing laps, suitable abrasives and buff
fing wheels. 1t will probably be far
cheaper to have such work done by
competent lapidaries than to attempt
to assemble the proper equipment.

founger's first task was to "break
down" the story into separate eni-

With this outline he built his

also keep in the spirit of the novel.
