IOS ANGBI E.S. CALIFORNIA

Lord, let me never tag a moral to a tale, nor tell a story without a meaning. Make me respect my material so much that I dare not slight my work. Help me to deal very honestly with words and with people, for they are both alive. Show me that as in a river, so in a writing, clearness is the best quality, and a little that is pure is worth more than much that is mixed.

Teach me to see the local color without being blind to the inner light.

Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real.

Keep me from caring more for books than for folks, for art than for life.

Steady me to do the full stint of work as well as I can; and when that is done stop m€; pay what wages Thou wilt, and help me to say, from a guiet heart, a grateful Ainen.-Henry van Dyke.

Dirty Dirty

Wifey: "flere's a riddle: What makes me so miserable?"

The Colonel: "You've got me."

Wifey: "That's right!"

Boarders

Under the cherry tree I spread

Pieces of apple, crusts of bread-

A whir of wings, and the boarders come

Down from each cozy treetop home.

Robins, thrushes, and here a crowd

Of poor relations-the sparrows loud.

A cardinal flutters his plumage red, Whistling "I never did care for bread.

Change the menu if you want me

To keep my lease on your maple tree."

So I look in the bird books and try to find

What each boarder has in his mind.

For I want to keep them-they're splendid pay !

As they sing for their breakfast every day.

-Rose Haven in Verse Craft.

WAS IT NICE?

A general and a colonel were walking down the street. They met many privates, and each time the colonel would salute he would mutter, "The same to you."

The general's curiosity got the better of him, and he asked:

"Why do you always say that?"

The colonel answered:

"I was once a private and I know what they are thinking."

Men and nations can only be reformed in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow old.-Rouriseau.

He Knows His Manners

A Cockney merchant had made a lot of money and decided to spend some of it on a castle in the Highlands of Scotland. On the first evening, the butler approached him and said:

"Would you care to have the pipers at dinner, sir?"

"No, thanks," was the casual reply, "but you can take 'em to the other room' and I'll read'em liter."

Everybody's Weekly (London).

A Gentle Hint

They had been sitting in the swing in the moonlight alone. No word broke the stillness for half an hour until"suppose you had money," she said, "what would you do?"

He threw out his chest in all the glory of young manhood. "I'd travel !"

He felt her warrrq young hand slide into his. When he looked up she was gone. IN HIS HAND WAS A NICKEL!

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
