Highest Quality in
Proper Self-Esfeen,

Humility is not always grace,
and sometimes is close approach
to hypocrisy. Lord Bacon was right
when he warned public speakers to
avoid excuses and professions of
humility. Though they seem to
proceed of modesty, yet they are but
bravery" he said.
There are people who seek to
lash themselves into virtuous liv-
ing by reminding themselves that
they are poor worms of the dust.
1t is not always the best way. 1t
was not the way Nehemiah held
himself true to his principles.
There was time of danger, and
the leading men of Jerusalem were
holding terrified counsel behind
closed doors. Let us meet together
In the house of God, and let us
shut the doors of the temple" they
counseled. But Nehemiah would
not heed their warning, though he
was the man whom danger threat
ened most. SHOULD such man
as / fiee?" he demanded. "And
who is there that, being as / am,
would go into the temple to save
his life? / will not go in"
He was ashamed to disgrace as
good man as he knew himself
to be!-YOuth's Companion.

SlolD to See Value
of Ocean Bathing

Sea bathing for pleasure may be
said to, have been popularized by
Doctor Russell of England about
ITO, although for 80 or 40 years
previously a few brave souls had
made a custom of splashing about
In the waves. Soon sea bathing was
all the rage and Margate became
the first fashionable seaside resort.
Out of respect for the modesty of
refined ladies'" says the American
Review Of Reviews, Quaker
named Benjamin Beale invented a
bathing machine with an awning
over the back so that the blushing
bathers were concealed even while
entering and leaving the wagon.
The Germans were the first on
the Continent to get the seaside
habit, and by 1872 the craze began
in France. At Dieppe one bathed
in a basket, secure against the
waves and tides. But not until the
adventurous little duchess de Berry
actually learned to swim in 1882
'S5 were the fashionables of France
really won. She was always at

her royal highness was really in.

Origin of Buttercup,
According to Legend

The buttercup is said to have
it's name from the old belief that
cows which had fed on the flower
gave the best milk for butter max
ing.
This is obviously a fallacy, how
ever-at least, so far as the early
variety, known as the dubious but
tercup, Is concerned-as cattle, in
consequence of bitter juice
which is supposed to serve as a
protection against animals, leave
the plant severely alone. In the
days when legends were woven
around many of our flowers. the
existence of the buttercup was
ascribed to elfin vengeance on a
miser. 1t happened, supposedly. in
this way, says Mrs. Vivian ThOmp-
son:
The miser was carrying sack of
gold across a field, when fairies
stopped him and asked for aims.
He refused, of course, and the mis-
chievOus little folk then secretly
cut a hole in his sack. AS he
walked on the coins fell one by one
to the ground, and were thus scat
tered over the field. Under fairy
influence they. were Immediately
transformed into golden flowers we
call buttercups.

Victoria Model of Truth

Queen Victoria. shares with
George Washington the tradition Of
never having told lie. She never
pretended to be what she was not !;
never intrigued; never practiced
any Of the arts of a Macchiavelli,
as did Queen Elizabeth. Queen Vic
toria .steered straight course.
Therefore, she never was brought
to shame by: any disclosures. "The
blush of Sigismund" never colored
her cheeks, for the very good rea-
son that she never prevaricated or
went back on her promises. There
were no light words in her vocabu-
larry; no double meanings in her
phrases no intent to deceive in her
thoughts. She had plenty of faults,
but no baseness of mind. There
fore, her fame is more. secure than
that of hundreds of sOyereigns who
far surpassed her in brain power

DRIVERS CAN BE CAREFUL

Here is a little flash at Duluth S
automobile death statistics that
ought to teach the dullest of us
something:
Last August six people were kill
ed by automobiles in Duluth.
Last September nobody was
killed by an automobile in Du-
luth.
Why?
Part of the reason why nobody
was killed in September was that
so rrIany were killed in august.
That may seem paradoxical I'M
til it is recalled that two men
were arrested, charged with man.
slaughter, for two of the August
killings. hrs -
One of these men went to the
penitentiary and the other got off.
But. the fact that two were ar
rested for August killings was the
direct cause of September's free
dom from automobile tragedies.
There were as. many automo-
biles going in September as there
were i'm August. &
But there were no killings in
September because the consequent
ces of the August killings made
drivers more careful,
Drivers were careful in Septem-
ber~besause the consequences of
red August scared them. So there
were no killings in September
Then drivers began to forget,
and there was another killing in
o.tober. Then more forgot and
there were three killings in No
vember and three more in De-
cember.
But while they remembered, they
were careful; so September, while
they were remembering, was a mo-
death month.
But drivers forget too soon.
Why can't they be careful all
The time. not Just while they are
afraid to be careless? They could
if they would.-Duluth Herald.
