Gratitude

The wise old DR.. Samuel Johnson
once said: Gratitude is fruit of
great cultivation. You do not find 1t
among gross people" Observations
will convince you that this is true, at
least in some degree. Cheap or coarse
people are usually lacking in sense
of gratitude. They are likely to be
the sorts who carry chips on their
shoulders, brag that the world owes
them a living, boast of accomplish.
ments for which they are not respon-
sible. Lacking sense of apprecia-
ton of most good things, they natural.
ly lack a sense of appreciation of what
others have done for them.-Grove

Odd English Auction
Has Its Good Point

A curious auction is held in the viii
lage of Upwey, Weymouth, England,
every spring when the parish meadow
is rented for the year, not to the high
est bidder, but to the one who bids
last when the light from a bit of can
die expires.
The auctioneer lights an inch of
candle on his desk and the bidding
begins. Every eye is fixed on the
! Pickering flame, and every rustic brain
! is trying to judge the length of time
! it will take for it to burn down to
the end. AS the flame turns blue the
bidding becomes fast and furious, but
no man is allowed to speak out of his
turn. To the one who bids last at the
moment the flame expires the meadow
lis let
The auction by candle is primitive
but fair, for the meadow often goes to
a poor man who can afford to pay but
little, where an auction conducted in
the usual way would give him no
chance against his richer neighbours

was a maybe. This busy bird had

inches deep. The size of the nest
