It Was Close

Someone had opened one of these shiny new modern sandwich shops on a heavy-traffic corner of the highway, not far frbm an Indian reservation in Arizona. Curious members of the tribe drifted by, observing with keen interest this new eating place.

Finally one big buck decided to try the food being offered, so after some deliberation he ordered a sandwich.

When it came he bit deep into the neatly prepared iterrl then stopped and stared long and hard at the cleft he had made in the food. Finally he said to the waiter:

"You slice-um ham?"

, "Sure," said the waiter; "why?"

"You know," said the Indian solemnly i ,,you dam-near missum ham !"

Alohc

Oe

ft's more than just an easy word for casual goodby; ft's gayer than a greeting, and it's sadder than a sigh; It has the hurting poignancy, the pathos of a sob; It's sweeter than a youthful heart's exquisite joyous throb;

It's all the tender messages that words cannot convey; ft's tears unshed, and longing for a loved one gone auray; It's wel'come to Hawaii and it's lingering farewell; It's all the dear and silent things that lovers lips can tell;

It's woven into fower leis and old Hawaiian songs; It's frailer than a spider-web and strong as leather thongs; ft's {resh as dew on ginger blooms and older than the moon; It's in the little lullabys that native mothers croon; It's said a hundred different ways, in sadness and in joy; Aioha means "I love you." So f say "Aloha Oe."

Money

What money is, f know not. But concerning the lending, I know this: that if I lend not with it courage, sympathy and vision, I but burden a man already burdened with his own need.

Give, then, and forget. Or else lend heart and moneyaye, money and a gale of goodwill to blow it to good use.

(From "Log of Tros of Samothrace.")

A Mutual Situction

An inhabitant of a lonely isl'and off the coast of freland had a visitor, who said:

"I suppose that when the sea is very rough you get no news from the rest of the world."

."That's right," was the calm reply. "But the rest of the world is in the same fix. It gets no news from us."

-The Vagabond.

Some Explcncrtion

The shoemaker was explaining to a complaining customer the reason for the poor quality of his soles.

"All the good leather," he said, "is going into steaks."

Acts oI Kindness

The little acts of kindness, So easily out of mind; Those chances to be angels, Which everyone may findThey come in night and silenceEach chill, repreachful wraithWhen hope is faint and flagging, And a. blight has dropped on faith.

For life is all too short, dear, And sorrow is all too great; To suffer out great compassion That tarries until too late; And it's not the thing you do, deaq ft's the thing you leave undone, Which gives you a bit of heartache, At the setting of the sun.

-Margaret Sangster.

Cicero Wrote:

"Life would be utterly lifeless, as old Ennius expresses it, without a friend on whose kindness and fidelity one rdight confidently repose. Can there be a more real complacency indeed, than to lay open to another the most secret thoughts of one's heart, with the same confidence and security as if they were still concealed in his own?

"Would not the fruits of prosperity lose much of their relish were there none who equally rejoiced with the possessor in the satisfaction he received from them? And how difficult must it prove to bear up under the pressure of misfortunes, unsupported by a generous associate who more than equally divides their load."

He Cured Thct Too

"Forest Echoes" tells about a herb doctor who was passing the home of a well-to-do family and leaned over the fence to hail the yard man. He said:

"How's the mistress doin', Sam?"

"f ain't sure," was the reply. "I heard the doctor say this mornin' she was convalescent."

"Shucks ! Nuthin' to it," grunted the quack. "Why, I've cured convalescence in twenty-four hours."
