Aesop's Wisdom

"A husbandman who had a quarrelsome family, after having tried in vain to reconcile them by words, thought he might more readily prevail by an example. So he called his sons and bade them lay a bundle of sticks before him. Then having tied them up into a fagot he told the lads, one after another, to take it up and break it. They all tried' but tried in vain. Then, untying the fagot, he gave them the sticks to break, one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father: "Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for all your enemies; but differ and separate, and you arb undone."

A Very Vcgue Boost

Very frequently a man is asked to write a letter of recommendation for some man for whom he has no very high opinion, and often it places him in an embarassing position. He does not wish to offend the fellow, yet hates to write like a hypocrite. Tom Dreier suggests that in such a case you use a letter like this one:

"Dear Sir: When you come to know Mr. Jones as I knorv him, you will appreciate him as I do."

FcrctorY PhilosoPhY

Thomas Nelson Page wrote: "A great factory with the machinery all working and revolving with absolute and rhythmic regularity and with the men all driven by one impulse and working in unison as though a constituted part of the mighty machine, is one of the most inspiring examples of directed force that the world knows' I have rarely seen the face of a mechanic in the act of creation which was not. fine, never one that was not earnest and impressive."

They Do Not DeePlY Mourn

By H. J. Higdtrn

They do not deeply mourn when old men die, Tho they may come with laurel wreaths and palms To strew on sodden mounds of earth, or psalms And prayers to offer to a sullen skY.

They do not deeply grieve, tho they extend Their limp, moist hands, and mouth belated praise, Or sigh o'er (what they term) misguided ways, Rembered still alike by foe and friend.

They do not deeply feel, they merely think "Oh, well, it was his turn; I wonder who That little trick is, standing by the yew? Or, gosh ! I wish I had another drink."

Whct Belongs To You

"Be lovable without being too demanding. You'll get what belongs to you. Nothing can keep that from you. No one can take from you that which is really yours. Hold to that belief. Oftentimes the love you want you'll get by indirection-not by reaching directly for it, but by the attractive poveer of something within you."-Thomas Dreier.
