Sound Sense

Sooner or later a man, if he is wise, discovers that tife is a mixture of good days and bad, vic.tory and defeat, give and take. Ife learns that it doesn't pay to be a sensitive soul; that he should let some things go over his head like water off a duck's back.

He learns that he who loses his temper usually loses out. Ffe learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then, and that he shouldn't take the ot&rer fellow's grouch too seriously. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight.

He learns the quickest rvay to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about others. Ffe learns that it doesn't matter so much who gets the credit so long as the business shows a profit. He learns that every person is human and that it'doesn't do any harm to smile and say "Good Morning," even ifit is raining.

He learns that bosses are not monsters, trying to get the last ounce of work out of him for the least amount of pay, but that they are usually fine men who have succeeded through hard work and who want to do the right thing. He learns that folks are not any harder to get along with in one place than another, and that the "Getting Along" depends about ninety-eight percent on his own behavior.-Lee Bros. Foundry Co. Magazine.

Sencrtor Ingolls' Fomous Tribute to Grqss

Next in importance to the divine profusion of water, light and air, these three physical facts which render existence possible, may be reckoned the universal benificence of grass. Lying in the sunshine among the buttercups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence than those minute tenants of that wilderness, our earliest recollections are of grass, and when the fitful fever is ended, and the foolish wrangle of the market and the forum is closed; grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead.

Grass is the forgiveness of n41u1s-hs1 constant benediction. Fields trampled with battle, saturated v.rith blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grass-grown like rural lanes, and are obliterated: for- ests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregnable fortress of its subterranean vitality and emerges upon solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by wandering birds, propagated by the subtle horticulture of the elements, which are its ministers and servants, it softens the rude outline of the world. fts tenacious fibers hold the earth in its place, and prevent its soluble components from rvashing into the sea. It invades the solitude of deserts, climbs the inaccessible slopes and forbidding pinnacles of mountains, modifies climates and determines th'e history, character and destiny of nations. Unobtrusive and patient, it has immortal vigor and aggression. Banished from the thoroughfare and field, it bides its time to return and, when vigilance is relaxed, or dynasty has perished, it silently resum,es the throne from which it has been expelled but which it never abdicates. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet should its harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world.

"This is a holdup !" said the thug. "Give m,e your money or else."

"Or else what?" demanded the victim.

"Don't confuse me," begged the thug. ',This is my first job."
