Whctever You Mcy Have Done, Let Others Do The Telling

There was once a Dutch housewife who was unduly arrogant about her clean floor. One day she scrubbed right through the floor and fell into the basement and broke her neck. Pride came before her fall.

The loud speaker, used in our own behalf, fills the air with static for others. If we do a good job and someone catches us at it, we feel like Peary at the Pole. But if we do a good job and then cackle like a hen, folks are more riled with the racket than they are pleased at the deed-

Even among the hens the greatest cacklers are liars rather than layers. They start by cackling after laying, as alt respectable hens should. Later, they cackle before and after laying. StiU later they help other hens to cackle, and soon they are devoting their lives to cackling.

People who cheer for themselves are pretty apt to give away to the same temptation; that is, they soon warble rather than work.

A bird sings, but because you sing you are not necessarily a bird.

There is nothing so cheerless as a self-cheering companion, whose true worth is scarcely less than half of nothing at all.

True worth is worth no less in sneakers.

To scrub floors right you must get on your hands and knees, which is a humble position, and a ridiculous one from which to indulge in loud talk.

-Chester H. Struble

lhe Two Sillies

For some days now we have been listening to the Democrats and the Republicans debate the subject of infation and we feel moved-to tell the story of the two sillies who were bicycle riding.

The first dismounted and let the air out of his rear tire. "The,seat.is too high,r' he explained.

The second dismounted, seized a wrench, loosened the handlebars, turned them backward and tightened thenr again.

"'Why do you do that?" asked the first.

"I'm going back," said the second, "f won't ride with a fool like you."

-The Wall Street Journal

Well Phrcsed

"Pa," said flector, looking from the book he was reading, "what is meant by'diplomatic phraseology?'"

"Well," replied Pa, "if you were to say to a homely girl, 'Your face would stop a clock,' that would be stupidity, but if you said to her, 'When I look into your eyes, time stands still,' that would be diplomatic phraseology !"

i' . Going Up?

In days of yore, the fathers told Their sons, when they were young, "The ladders of .success are climbed Quite slowly, rung by rung."

But youth today gives little heed

To precepts of their paters, And thinks the ladders to success

Perform like escalator-s !

Egoist

"Egoist-a person of low taste, more interested in himself than in ms."-Ambrose Bierce.

Didn't Want to Chcrnge

"Rastus, heah is that quarter Ah borrowed from you two or three years ago."

"You can keep it, big boy. It ain't wuth two bits for me to change mah opinion o' you."

All Thcrt I Ask

I do not ask, my God, for mystic power To heal the sick and lame, the deaf and blind; I ask Thee humbly'for the gracious power Just to be kind.

I do not pray to see the shining'beauty Of highest knowledge most divinely true; I pray that, knowing well ,my duty, This I may do.

f do not ask that man, with fattering finger Should point me out within the crowded mart; But only that the thought of me may linger In one glad heart.

I would not rise upon the men below me Or pulling at the robes of men above; I would that friends, a few dear friends, may know me And knowing, love.

I do not pray for palaceg of splendor Or far among the world's delights to roam; I pray that I may know the tender meaning, Of Home, Sweet Flome.

I do not ask that lfeaven's golden treasure Upon rny little blundering life be spent; But, Oh ! I ask Thee for the perfect pleasure Of calm content. -Amos R. Wells.

Resources

Few men {uring their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.-Richard E. Byrd.
