SAINT PATRICK

March l7th has long been cele-
brated by the sons of old Erin as
Saint Patrick's day. This famous
old character is noted for countless
traditions of his remarkable achieve
ments. He lived far back in ancient
days. when historical facts were
more or less uncertain. 1t is regret
table that We do not know more ac-
curately the story Of this famous
man. who was evidently one of the
greatest personalities of that re-
mote age.
The old saying has it that he found
no Christians in Ireland. and left il
without any heather. He must have
mad tremendously persuasive DOW
er. to thus change the faith of a ma
ton.
II is maintained that he was horn
IN England about the year $3.50. that
he was captured in some of the wars
OF the time. and carried TO Ireland
where he was held captive for some
years.
Apparently he formed deem af-
lection for the land of his caDtivitv

NlsionS to preach the gospel i'm that

CHRISTIAN faith. which so inspircd

TRAGIC IMITATORS

A young man who is supposed to
have jumped from an airplane near
Toronto, Canada, few days ago
is said to have been depressed be-
cause he had lost his job This is
the fifth case within two weeks.
where people are supposed to have
jumped from airplanes as a method
of committing suicide. One such
tragic act leads to others.
The world little realizes how many
depressed and discouraged folks are
contemplating these deeds of desper-
alton. When one does such thing,
it seems to give courage to others
to attempt it. Only sympathy can
be felt for people who have reached
such state of sadness that they
can contemplate such a deed. Il
People should never abandon hope,
no matter how depressed. they feel.
or how dark the world looks to them. |
There is a remedy for every sorrow |
and a consolation for every grief. |
People who contemplate such an act |
because they have no work. should
realize that the world has only SYM
pathy for their condition, and is
glad to take care of them until they
can find employment. A hotter day
is coming which will find a chance
for every willing pair of hands.
Some who contemplate rash end
ng of their lives because OF disap-
lointment in love. should realize ,
hat countless others have suffered
rom this kind of sorrow. but have 4
recovered and are enjoying gr
fife again. :
People who end their lives because Z
{ poor health are most to be pitied. il
ecause sometimes these difficulties n
re incurable. But modern science II
fleets wonderful cures. and many
hose Ills have been regarded as o,
opeless have been restored to &,
ealth. Let us all send messages of c,
leer to folks who are respondent, NJ
nd make it clear that the world is
! on their side. and will do every
ing possible to help them.

~DEArTIFUL BrT DrMnv

There is an old phrase which de-
scribes young women of a certain
type as being beautiful but dumb. -
They have a doll like prettincss, but
could not talk intclligcntly ON any
subject.
Two, women prominent in college
circles in Philadelphia were recent
Is quoted as disbe1ieving that such
thing is possible. Only intelligent
people can be truly beautiful" said
one Of them. No doubt the lady is
right. a girl may have perfect
regularity and smOUihness of face
and feature, and perfection of nat
aral color. But the idea of beauty
conveys the thought of something
alive and vital. If the brain behind
pretty face is permanently asleep. !
10 physical perfection can obscure
hat fiat and cOlorless mentality.

TIE PASSING OF WINTER

People say they regret the pass
ing Of time. particularly the older
folks. But no. one seems to regret
tho passing Of winter. SO even the
old folks. who have not many years
to go. are glad to see old January
and February pulled on the calen-
dar sheets, and dropped into times
oblivion.
Perhaps if We had a little better
philosophy, We should not be so
sour on winter. Winter is the time
of social life. when the country is
fnll of happy crowds gathered for
sparkling pleasures. It is the time
when you can get people together to
act on the needs Of the community.
1t is hard to round them up in sum-
mer, when they are scattered all
over the land Oh vacations, and in
sporting affairs. The country might !
not make progress, if We had ~ |
months OF the, good old summer time. |

THOUGHTS on 4 tlREAT MAN

THOUGHTS or A G'REAF MAN
The American people can vel
pause moment 10 ponder the
thoughts Of the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who has passed on
after few years OF retirement. fol-
lowing many years Of distinguished
service in the United states Supreme
Court
This man was born of aristocratic
lineage, yet was ever profoundly
democratic. His life sets an exam
pie that the best rewards Of life are
found not in matcriallstic pursuit Of
money, but in honest service devoted
to the common good
A faYOrite quotation Of his was
Whatever thy hand indeth to do.
do it with thy might" Following out
that precept, he became one OF the
proiOundest students of law that our
country ever developed His eager
and alert mind was always seeking
to perfect itself in its profession. In
so far as we follow that example.
we can all attain some degree of dis
tincuon. even in humble occupa- /
lions.
Justice Holmes was called a great
liberal" lie felt that the govern
mont and constitution of the United
States can not be held in any innex-
BILE mould, and that institutions and
ystems must change to meet the
leeds of the times. Many people
hink they are changing too fast
'nt no country preserves its safety
merely by standing still. New oc-
asions teach new duties" famous
oct said.
Justice Holmes was prc-emineptv
y original thinker, Such thinkers
re not too common. People think
bout making money and the things
ley enjoy. But when it comes TO
mixing out the real problems of
imam society, they are apt to ac-
pt thoughts produced for them bv
hers. In SO far as we are willing
read and study, and form our own
inions on the facts of life. we are
IN our humble way following the
ample of This great man.

THE NEEDS or THE PUBLIC

People have often succeeded in
business as the result of keeping
their eyes and ears open TO learn
what the public needed. They were
always talking with their neighbors
about the practical affairs OF life.
They would hear a complaints that
some product which the people were
using was unsatisfactory. They
would find out what the trouble was
with that product. and would study
how it could be improved. or where
they could obtain the improved ar
ticle.
Then thcS would offer the public
such an improved article which they
had made or purchased. and would
inform the public how that difficulty
had been solved. Purchasers would
flock TO their store. or order Of their
statesmen, and their enterprise and
original observation would be ro-
vardcd.

THE GOING TO WORK SPIRIT

some people come down to break-
last every morning in a groucbv
spirit. They can hardly speak to the
family without nearly snapDinu
somebody's head off. They go 10
their work. whatever it is. in the
same black mood. They act as if
work was a curse. instead of the
best blessing given to man. Folks of
that type are not apt to last long
in the business world.
People ought to go to work morn
ings with a spirit of enthusiasm. a
smile on their faces. a cheerful
word for everyone they meet. This
is the usual attitude in the business
places of Milford anyway. People
will go some distance to trade with
a person who has this buoyant air
of enjoying his work. They feel
there is an advantage in dealing
With such ones.

who follow the Washington scene,
