"Take LIFE as though it was-as it IS-an earnest, vital, and imnortant affair. Take it as though you were born to the task of performing a merry part of it-as though the world awaited your coming. Take it as though it were a grand opportunity to do and achieve, to carry forward great and good schemes, to help and cheer a suffering, weary, it may be a broken-hearted, brother. Now and then a man stands aside from the crowd, labors earnestly, steadfastly, confidently, and straightaway becomes famous for wisdom, intellect, skill, greatness of some sort. The world wonders, admires, idolizes, and it only illustrates what others may do, if they, take hold of life with a purpose. The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few, is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the promptings of a brave, determined spirit."-Mark Twain.

And Col. R. G. Inger""r, *r.,., "Justice is the only worship. Love is the only priest. Ignorance is the only slavery. Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make other people happy."

A splendid philosophy r, ;;a belonged to that gifted and courageous American explorer; Captain Meriwether Lewis. Captain Lewis was the man who more than 150 years ago led the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition on its journey of exploration from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean. In discussing the rigors and unknown hazards they had to face in that first great trek to Oregon, he explained his philosophy thus: "As I have always held it to be a crime to anticipate evils, I will believe it to be a good and comfortable road until I am compelled to believe differently."

on the subject ", n"n;.:.,'*" ',r.r, popular television star recently got a lot of newspaper publicity by a short discussion of that subject. FIe was asked if television comedians are happy people themselves, and he is reported to have replied: "I don't know any happy people. How could people be happy in the kind of world we are living in?" Then along came one of the big radio commentators, and called attention to the fact that the above quotation was a famous one bv a thinker of earlier days. However, the fact that the words fit the situation seems to be the important thing.

life nor of his fate. He can but offer to his fellow man his efforts to diminish human suffering; he can but offer to his God his indomitable faith in human libertv."

Ralph waldo Emerson :rr:..I ""o. is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy." There is more need for thissage philosophy now than when he wrote it, before the motor car was invented. The auto has changed countless people into selfish boors. If drivers behaved as considerately when behind the wheel as they do in their homes, the death rate in traffic would be sliced to a minimum. A great need of the hour is better manners, more courtesy, and more sportsmanship on the road.

There is nothing ".- ;r;. ln. ".rr,. plutarch tells us that the great Athenian statesman, Pericles, so great a man that posterity named the Age of Pericles after him, "finding himself short of his competitor in wealth and money turned to the distribution of the public monies allowed for shows and service on juries, and what with other forms of pay and largesse (subsidies) he made use of them against the council of Areopagus (the Supreme Court of that d.y)." And in a later paragraph, Plutarch says that "a great corruption and flood of mischief and vice followed."

History amply testifies .J ; matter how ridiculous a philosophy may be, if its sponsor believes in it with his whole soul, he will not only make converts but will often awaken a- fierce enthusiasm, even an unreasoning fanaticism, which assumes the absurd to be self-evident because the founder said it. It was thus that John Krok transformed hospitable Caladonia into a nest of canting and intolerant Covenanters, and Mahomet changed the easy-going Arabians into a horde of murdering bigots. In the pathway of a Peter-the-Hermit on crusade, everything inflammable catches fire, and once aflame, argument and reasoning are useless. The fame must run its course. Study world history for just the last generation, and discover how true this is.

In the days of ancient Rome, it is said that sculptorswho were in abundanqs-sqrnglirnes made a fast dollar by putting wax noses on their statues, thus finishing them quickly. The hoax was rarely discovered unless the unwary buyer exposed the statue to the hot sun. Then the nose melted. So the buyers of statues in Rome insisted that sculptors make their statues with noses "5ingg111s"-6sgn-
