Socratic Self Inspection

Socrates taught, nearly five hundred years before Jesus Christ was born, that a man could only succeed by the building and development of his own character, and that in order to do that successfully he must be able to stand and watch himself go by, as it were. He said a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he should sit off and watch its workings, ind judge its development, its character, and its strength, in an entirely abstract manner. If he found that mind of his showing small weaknesses, such as anger, envy, jealousy, fear, etc., he would realize its imperfections, and go to work to build it up.

Really Untold

Son-"Father, what is 'untold wealth'?"

Father-"Son, that's the property you succeed in hiding from your income tax."

The Best Christmas Prayer

The best Christmas prayer yet recorded is that uttered by the little girl on Christmas night. She said: "Oh, Lord, I certainly thank You for all the nice presents I got, and I hope Your Son Jesus had a happy birthday."

BUT HE HADN'T

Slowly and sadly we laid him down, And we spoke not a word of sorrow, Remembering how often he'd said he would Have his brake-bands fixed-tomorrow.

THERE, THERE, LITTLE DOLLAR, DON'T CRY

There, there, little dollar, dont cry !

You're not worth your name, I know, You pass for your face

But you can't keep the pace

That's set by the high cost of beef, Oh, No ! There, there, little dollar, don't cry !

There, there, little dollar, don't cry, You're doing your best, no doubt,

But they've lessened your gold

'Bout a third, so I'rn told,

And they've made of you just an old fraud, Oh, Gawd! They've made of you just an old fraud.

Good Roads

Hordes of autos now remind us We should build our roads to stay, And departing leave behind us, Roads that $rill not wash away. When our children pay the mortgage, Fathers made to haul their loads, They'll not have to ask the question, "Here's the bonds, but where's the roads?"

A Gentle Rebuke

The two ladies had been talking almost steadily as the play progressed, and finally the kindly voiced gentleman in the seat just ahead of them turned around. t'Ladies," he said, "won't you kindly postpone your conversation until this act is ended. I'm greatly interested in your conversation and those people on the stage are making so much noise I can't follow you entirely."

The Change

There was a man in our town Who happened to advance, His left foot very far in front, When taking up his stance; And when he found that made him hook Which wasn't very nice, He put his right foot out in front, And then he got a slice.

WHEN YOU COME'IN

Just grin-when you ssnrg inAnd make it wide-not tight and thinSay "Hello, Bill' and "Howdy, Jach," And slap your friend upon the back. Stick out your mitt and crack a joke, If no one laughs there's no bones broke, And by and by you'll make your club A sort of happy sunshine hub, That radiates gooil cheer and vim Because you grin, when you come in.

Brentwood Lumber Company Suffers T. F. Eckstrom Back Again in His $30,000 Fire Loss Old Game

A fire loss of about $30,000 was sustained by the Brentrvood Lumber Company, Brentwood, May 21.

William Drefs, 18, who has been in a reform school, was noticed loitering around the fire at the yard. Being arrested and questioned he confessed to having set fire to the yard. His first story was that a stranger had offered him $25.00 to burn the lumber yard. He later changed his story and said no one had urged him to set the fire, and confessed that he had set two other fires the previous night, including the Southern Pacific depot.

Authorities suspe,ct that Drefs may have set'many other mysterious fires in Lodi, Stockton, Isleton and Oakland, and are making a very complete investigation.

The loss of the Brentwood Lumber Company was fully insured, but they will be unable to avoid the great loss incidental to their inability to operate in anything like a normal fashion for 6O to 90 davs.
