Selected Poem
THE FEAST TIME OF THE YEAR

BY Harriet McEwen Kimball in the Boston Post
When hearts grow warm and home more dear;
This Is the feast-time Of the year
When autumn's crimson torch expires
To fash again In winter fires;
And they who tracked October's flight
Through woods with gorgeous hues bedight,
In charmed circle sit and praise
The goody logs triumphant blaze.
This In the feast-time of the year
When Plenty pours her wine OF cheer,
And even humble boards may spare
To poorer poor kindly share
While bursting barns and granaries know
A richer. fuller overflow.
And htey who dwell In golden ease
Bless without toll. yet toll TO please.
This is the feast-t time OF the year:
The blessed Advent draweth near.
Let rich and poor together break
The bread Of love for Christs sweet sake.
Against the time when rich and poor
Must ope for him n common door.
Who comes guest. yet makes feast.
And bids the greatest and the least

Among the unmarked centenaries
Of the passing year Is that of the
familiar single-fare railway ticket.
All day long the man In the ticket
office takes such tickets from his
convenient rack, pushes them be-
meath the window bars TO the about
to-be traveller, but probably neither
party to the transaction gives q
grateful thought TO Thomas Ed
mondson.
In 1885. Thomas Edmondson was
station master at Milton, England,
selling tickets for the then New
castle 81 Carlisle Railway. as has
been told by Dudley B. Martin in
the New York Times. Train travel
was still new, and the kind Of ticket
that had served the stagecoach had
been inherited by the railway.
Many station masters might have
put up with 1t. but not Mr.. Edmond
son. He wanted O smaller ticket,
more convenient TO handle, with
station names on II. price 10 traveller
q number to indicate how many
such tickets had been sold, and O
date Of delivery. 30 he made him
self o hand-stamp with removable
type, printed O succession Of tickets
for each station on strips Of stiff
paper. numbered each ticket with
pen and ink, and cut them neatly
apart with his scissors. To complete
ell. he made ticket case 70 stack
his tickets IN. and devised o tool
with which he could add the date
when ne took one out.
Unfortunately, the centenary can
not be properly celebrated. for MIR.
Martins research apparently did not
discover the exact date when Thorn
as Edmondsom lsnished and began
selling his first stack OF tickets.
Only that u happened some time

The Art of Management
BY THOMAS HASTWELL

Out of all this turmoil and con-
fusion rises one fact that to me is
sun clear That is that we have not
yet learned how to manage life and
living. In our industry and market
ing and transportation set up we
have built mighty machine, cap
able of wonderful development and
wonderful possibilities, but we have
been so busy building it that we
have failed to learn how to run it.
The result is that it runs wild like
an engine without a governor. Like
a mighty robot whose creator, lost
in the details of its building, has
neglected to build within it the
means of control and the safeguards
of a sane and normal action. To me
the present heights to which the
genius of man has reached in all
lines of human endeavor is thrill
ing and a magnificent thing and
man might well, as did the creator
of this universe on the memorable
morning Of creations dawn, step
back and view his handwork with
the words sit it good" But it is well

One Fault at a Time

The new year brings with it the
thought of new start on a clean
fresh page. A page on which we are
to enter each transaction, each
deed for every day in the year. At
such time it is common prac-
tice to talk of New Years resolu-
lions and some even go so far at the
beginning of each year to formu-
late lot of resolutions as to what
they will do or will refrain from do
ing during the coming year. Too
often the act is but an idle gesture
entered into causually and with lit
tie thought or intention of follow
ing it through seriously. The COM
mon error is that we attempt to
take in too INCH territory at one
time. We attempt to completely re-
build ourselves in one year. Com
mendable and desirable as this
might be it is seldom possible. The
wiser plan is to select one low spot,
one point in which we fall short of
our desired standard and concen-
trate on that until we have over
come it. Any man who will enter
into such a program honestly and
sincerely and put the best he has
into it will in the course of time
rebuild his whole life. One low spot
built up each year will make any
man more efficient, more self re-
liant, more sure Of himself. This is
the surest and best way to come to
the end of next year with a cleaner
page and better record than the
record for the preceding year shows.

The frequency with which the
words ga billion dollars" have been
handled about the last few years
might lead one to believe that
billion isn't a very large sum OF
money. Some idea of what a billion
dollars really is may be gained from
This illustration. A man with a So
moo annual income would nave 10
work 100000 years to earn billion
dollars. or it would require 2OO,OO0
men working a year at an annual
SALARY of $4,000 to earn a billion
dollars.

to remember that all of these fruits
of matchless skill, of transcendent
genius are only good when they
serve to the fullest, mankind. And
this is the lesson we must learn,
the lesson of management, of so Or
dering all our doings that one day
or one year will not undo what an
other has done. The greatest prob

were quite unlike any group of boys
I used to chun with when I was a
lad. p <fs9. .,
We had fights and plenty of
them. The day that passed without
fight was a dull day indeed. As I
recall it these fights were genuine
affairs. There was nothing fixed
about them. No one said enough
until he was licked and actually had
enough.
Barbarous as it may sound in the
present day, those fights were the
chief source of amusement of the
bunch. We lived in a little town.
There was not much going on there
except what fellow made go on,
and so the gang scrap was the ma
tural outlet for the surplus energy.
Bitter as those fights sometimes
were, the thing that I remember
most distinctly now about them
and I recall it with a lot Of salts
faction, was the fact that after they
were over no one bore any hard
feelings. BY next morning differ
ences were forgotten and harmony
reigned throughout the camp.
That's one thing I like about
boys. They don't carry a grudge.
They don't go around with a brick
in their pocket laying for some one.
If they have difference with an
other they pitch in right now and
adjust it. If they whip the other
boy the score is settled. If he whips
them it is settled just the same. In
boyland good fight settles lots of
things. 1t gets the thing out of the
system and the sky is cleared inn
mediately for the next project.
There is no sulking, no going about
nursing grudge.
4 y
I've often thought as I have
looked back upon our gang and it's
primitive method of settling it's diff
ferences what a fine thing it would
be if men were like that-like that
in that after the thing was over it
was forgotten and no i'll will borne.
4
Men are not like that at least
not often. Men in their superior in
telligence can't settle a thing and
forget it. They carry it along and
nurse their crouch, building up all
the time more bitter feelings of re-
sentiment against the person with
whom they have had difference.
How much better it would be if
they could be like boys have their
differences and settle them, and
forget them, and go about tomorrow
as though nothing had happened.

The old settlers like to tell of the
hardships they endured as pioneers.
I think there are just as many hard
ships today though of different
kind. For example I'd like to have
any one tell me of greater hard
ship than that of trying to keep the
taxes paid on the old home place
these days and the mortgage COM
pany satisfied with the interest in

for the severity of the depression
the fact that we have been trying

would be satisfied with a good liv-
