There was a personal rvrite-up in this issue of R. Duvall, Northern California representative for the Osgood Co.

L. "Lee" Wheeler-

The San Diego lfoo-Hoo held a dinner meeting and concatenation and initiated 14 Kittens. The Nine in charge of the degree work included Homer Miller, G. E. Mattison, Harry McGahey, Arthur Scott, Floyd Herbert, Robert Zumwalt, William Rabsahl, H. G. Larrick and H. J. Bjornstad.

R. A. Fobes, Los Angeles, Southern California manager for Sudden & Christenson, announced his resignation. He had been associated with Sudden & Christenson for eight years, and prior to that rvith the Hammond Lumber Co.

Reports coming out of San Francisco state that Frank O'Connor, rvell known lumberman and shipping official, is the latest victim to the game of golf. Frank is San Francisco manager for the Donovan Lumber Co. and president of the Pacific Coast Ship Owner's Association. He has bought himself a very sporty golf outfit, and after a few more games he expects to show his stuff to some of his many friends on the links.

Herbert Spencer Wrote This About The Humcn Mind:

"Whoever hesitates to utter that which he thinks the highest truth, lest it be too much in advance of the time, may reassure himself by looking at his acts from an impersonal point of view.

"Let him remember that opinion is the agency through which character adapts external arrangements to itself, and that his opinion rightly forms part of that agency-as a unit of force, constituting with other such units, the general power which works out social changes; and he will perceive that he may properly give utterance to his innermost conviction; leaving it to produce what it may.

"It is not for nothing that he has in him these sympathies for some principles, and repugnance to others. He, with all his capacities, and aspirations, and beliefs, is not an accident but a product of the time. While he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future; and his thoughts are as children born to him, which he may not carelessly let die.

"Like every other man he may proper$ consider himself as one of the myriad agencies through whom works the Unknown Cause; and when the Unknown Cause produces in him a certain belief, he is thereby authorized to profess and act out that belief ..... Not as adventitious therefore will the wise man regard the faith that is in him. The highest truth he sees he will fearlessly utter; knowing that, let what may come of it, he is thus playing his right part in the world-knowing that if he can affect the change he aims at-well; if not,-well also; but not so well ....."

It Is Better-

"And I have said, and I say it ever, As the years go on and the world goes over, 'Twere better to be content and clever In tending of cattle and tossing of clover, In the grazing of cattle and growing of grain, Than a strong man striving for fame and gain."

Miller.

How He Preached

"Open your mouth and the Lord will fill it," was the axiom of a certain type of preacher in the old days.

"He will, but He'Il fill it with wind," was the response of those who believed in preparing their sermons.

Uncle Joshua was an advocate of both methods. While he was a yard man for Col. Bradbury, he was also pastor of a small congregation in a little Alabama town.

"Flave you prepared your sermon for tomorrow?" asked the Colonel one Saturday night.

"Nossuh, Kuhnel," replied Uncle Joshua. "Ah don't has to dis time. Sometimes Ah preaches fum de text. Den Ah has to study. Tomorrow Ah don't use no text. Ah jus preaches fum de extemporaneum."

The Road Not Tcrken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler; long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it be4t in the undergrowth;

Then took the'other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day, Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and II took the one less travel'ed by, And that has made all the difrerence.

His Brand oI Cigcrs

"What brand of cigars do you smoke, Esau?" asked a man whose shoes were being shined by his favorite shine boy. The latter was puffing away at a cigar stub, as he wrestled with the job.

The bootblack answered:

"Robinson Crusoe's, Cap."

"What kind?"

"Robinson Crusoe's. You know? Castaways."

W. C. Brqnn Writes ol Love

"When a couple's really got what ailed Romeo and Juliet, they are in no more doubt about it than was the man who sat down on the circular saw to see if it was running, and found it the sole proprietor of a South American revolution. They don't have to send their feelings to a chemist for analysis and classification, nor take an invoice of their affections to see if they've got any. Love is really a very serious thing. Like seasickness, everybody laughs at it but those who have got it. When Cupid lets slip a sure-enough shaft it goes through a fellow's heart like a Kansas cyclone through a colored camp meeting, and all the powers of hades can never head it off.

"Love is the most sacred word ever framed by celestial lips. It's the law of life, the harmony of heaven, the breath of which the un-iverse was born, the divine essence increate of the ever-living God. But love is like other sweet things -unless you get the very best brand it sours awful easy."
