A friend sends me a beautiful little prayer he says he got from an old Irish woman he knows: "May every hair in your head be a lantern to light your way to heaven."

Several times latel, i ;*"papers and magazines r have read "The Sportsman's Prayer'," which is: "Oh, God, help me to win, but if in Thy inscrutable wisdom Thou willest me not to win, then, Oh God, make me a good loser."

And then there is "The Game Guy's Prayer," which is: "Oh, Lord, please help me to understand that You won't let anything come my way that You and I together can't handle." i< * ,r

Tacitus said: "Adversity has no friends." He evidently thought that the days of the Good Samaritan are over.

Plato said: "A house ;a ;*: fibrary in it has a soul." ***

Some poet, unknown to me, wrote this rhymed criticism of the philosophy of trying to buy friends with gifts: "Can gold calm passion, or make reason shine? Can we dig peace or wisdom from the rnine?"

Much attention given to the juvenile delinquency problem. Long ago there was a famous teacher named Diogenes. F{e was the fellow who walked the sunlit streets with a lighted lantern, "looking for an honest man."

History tells us ,n"a *l.rJ " loy it his class went bad, "Diogenes slapped the boy's father."

The philosophy of ,t. irrilg 1" prorauty sound but, in the days we are living in, a teacher who followed such a course would need to wear a coat of mail and carrv a well-loaded pistol.

The high judge in a 'Western town ordered the sheriff to put an end to promiscuous shooting and to jail everyone who tried it. The sheriff brought in a drunk cowboy who had fired into the air in a spirit of fun. "Ten days in jail," said the judge. "You might have killed an angel."

Someone asked Voltaire if he did not think a monarchy the best form of government, and the great French-

BY JACK DIONNE

man said, "Yes, but only if the monarch is Marcus Aurelius." So we should listen to the words of that wise and kindly monarch, when he said: "We are made for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another then, is contrary to nature, and it is acting against one another to be vexed and turn away." *t<+

A vacation thought: "God made the world, the lovely world, made every bush and tree, and the gasoline tax that builds the roads "o T. ?r**o and see."

"How are you feeling?" one friend asked another. "Swell," was the reply. "I couldn't feel better if I had just learned that there are no .more Russians."

A modern cocktail party, says a wag, is a place where the drinks disappear in a hurry, but the drunks stay all night. *{<*

An honest opinion doesn't always make friends. An aspiring vocalist had just completed a singing lesson, and she demanded of the fgxqhsl-"fo you think I'll ever be able to do anything with my voice?" Said the professor"Well, it might come in handy in case of fire."

The champion hog .";r;; asked the secret of his success, and he said: "ft isn't the sounds or lvords that make the difference-it's the appeal I put into my voice."

Benvenuto Cellini ""ia I ".i,u 1',"r, *t o have done anything of worth, if they be men of truth and good repute, should write the tale of their life in their own hand. Yet it were best they should not set out on so fine an enterprise till they have n""l"U*aniir fortieth year;'

One of the most famous speeches in American history, although not as well known as the Gettysburg Address, was the one that Will Harbut used to make when showing the retired Man o' War to famous visitors at Riddle's Kentucky farm. Will Harbut was a man of color who took care of the greatest racehorse to the day of his own death. Wheri the visitors were of great note and importance-and much of the world's great visited Man o' War-Will took
