The Btrsine$s OI Living

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other 11s1-a!eve all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day T rcalize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to. give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily from the works of other men.-Albert Einstein.

The Quest

A restless breeze goes straying, across the landscape fair, It whispers in the tree-tops, it searches here and there; It rustles through the grasses, it flies across the fen,

And when at length it find one, it breathes a strong, low song, And quickly through the portal, it slips and glides along, With touch of fairy fingers, it stirs each open door, And dances in the sunlight that lies across the foor.

A while it seems to listen-then, with a-whispering sigh, It joins its eerie laughter, with mother's lullaby; And rising, oh so gently, in little whiffs and swirls, It toys for just a moment, with baby's silken curls.

Our eager thoughts go straying across the shining world, They fly frirm mountains ho4ry, to shores with white spray pearled;

They seek the caves of ocean, they walk among the stars, But rest and peace and love they find, behind home's window bars. -A Merriam Conner.

No Moss

Jim Corbett was telling the story of his life and said: "When I left home my father warned me: 'Remember, a rolling stone gathers no moss."'

"But when I returned after a successfirl career' he changed his tune to: 'Just as I told you, son' it's the wandering bee that gathers honey."'

Right or LeIt?

"She thinks no man is good enough for her."

"She may be right."

"Yes, and she may be left."

Wouldn't Sell

The old lumberjacks were walking down the Seattle, hungry, cold, broke, no place to sleep, low spirits.

Bill spied a small white envelope lying in the gutter, stooped over, picked it up, and found that it contained a spoonful of fine, white powder. He took a pinch on his finger, and sniffed it to see what it was like. Then he took another good whiff. Shaking his shoulders and tossing his head with suddenly renewed life, he turned to the other and said: "George, get ready. We are going to hop the limited for Frisco tonight."

,

"What's the big idea?" asked the other. "We can get just as hungry in Frisco as we can here in Seattle." Then he took a sni'ff of the stuff his partner held in his hand.

"f am going down there and buy all the lumber carriers on the Coast, take them out of commission for six months, and corner the Fir market," boasted Bill.

George took another long sniff, and firmly declared: ..T WON'T SELL.''

One DeIect

All my life people have been coming to me with plans to make over society and its institutions. Many of these plans have seemed to me good. Some have been excellent. All of them have had one fatal defect. They have assumed that human nature would behave in a certaia way. If it would behave in that way these plans would work, but if human nature would behave in that way these plans would not be necessary, for in that case society and its institutions would reform themselves.

-Elihu Root.

Iliawctha Hcrrigcrn

He killed the noble mudjokivis, Of the skin he made him mittens, Made them with the fur side inside, Made them with the skin side outside; Put the inside skinside outside;

IIe, to get the cold side outside

Put the warm side fur side inside.

That's why he put the fur side inside, Why he put the skin side outside, Why he turned them inside outside.
