I"And what is a murderer?" cross-examined the laiwyer.

"What a question.! A mulderer is a man who kills".

'Ah, I understand. Abutcher".

"You old fooM mean a man who kills another man".

"Of course", agreed the lawyer. "You mean a soldier".

"You idiot. A man who kills men in times of peace".

"You fool ! A man who kills another man in his home".

"Now I get you. A doctor".

The Recipe

It's doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow man; It's making money-but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It's figuring how, and learning why, And looking forward, and thinking high, And dreaming a little, and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed; It's being thorough, yet making speed; It's daring blythely the field of chance

While making labor a brave romance; It's going onward despite defeat

And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet; It's being clean, and it's playing fair; It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair; It's looking up at the stars above, And drinking deeply of life and love; It's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin; It's sharing sorrovv, and work, and mirth, And making better this good old earth; It's serving and striving through strain and stress, It's doing your npblest-that's Success !

-Bertongraley*

. PERPETUAL

The roads and paths you h-ave walked along in sumrner or winter weather, the meadows and hills u4i9h you have looked upon in lightness and gladnes"l"55-6, where fresh thoughts have come into your min{ t6ome noble prospect has opened before you, and especially the quiet ways where you have walked in sweet converse with your friend-pausing under the trees, drinking at the spring-henceforth they are not the same; a new charm is added; those thoughts spring there perennial; your friend walks there forever.John Burroughs.
