THE DREAMERS.

Dreamers are ignored or despised by us
metical people. We are brisk, efficient and
ninesslike. They idle their time and build
r castles.
But sooner or later we find ourselves bow

Beware how you laugh at dreamers. For
laying that civilization progresses is not
another way of saying that somebody’s dreams
are coming true.

OL’ RELIABLE.
(Hal Cochran’s Dally Foam.)
Hi there, ol' furnace, my winter time
friend. To you for real comfort, I’m turning.
When once you are started, I always depend
on the heat from the coal you are burning.
You may run my bill high cause you eat
^ite a bit, but you’re worth every penny you
cost. You always are aiding in keeping me
fit, and without you, in winter, I’m loat.
Your mouth stands wide open, and, bless
your old soul, 1 am ready and willing to fill
it. 1 know, as I constantly showel you coai,
that when chill comes, you know how to kill
n. i
Burn on, Ol’ Reliable! Heat up my home
with a fire that is always a hummer. And then,
in return for the hunch for this pome, 1 will
give you a good rest—next summer.
CHEAP GAIN.
(By George Matthew Adams.)
Thomas Paine once wrote: ‘‘What we ob
tain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it
is dearness only that gives everything its
value.” ’
I think of this ,often when 1 am tempted
to takfc a cross cut to things important. The
fact is, life has to be earned. You can come
to no just appreciation of it otherwise.
When you give a man nioney he hasn't
earned, he doesn’t understand it and so hit
first impulse is to waste it. But money earned
has something about it that goes beyond its
intrinsic value.
Everyone is cheapened in soul when he
takes something that ... he haan t earned, , for ,
or
which he has nothing to give in return.
Cheap friendship has no value.

pears , it almost imiVtediately becomes a
seller” because that writer has somethi to
say, something to teach, something to inspi.e
with. And, when you come to think of it,
the real classics of the world were written by
those who really did a /comparatively small
amount of work during their lifetime. One or
two things dominate, and keep their fame
rich.
Cheap reputation soon withers and is for
gotten.
If any job is worth doing at all it is worth
doing better than it has ever been done
before. s -
When one has gained—he that gains ever so
small—it takes courage to hold it. And when
it takes greater courage to go ahead for more
gain. That’s the way character is made.
But cheap gam is always flying out of
the window, or when you go to grasp it, it
isn’t where you thought it was.

ELECTIONS.
Election day is safely over now, and, for
better or worse, the various candidates and
laws that were submitted to the voters have
been chosen.
It would be ftice if we could all say: "Well,
the best man won." Unfortunately, we can’t
say that in all cases.
But bear this in mind; if you were "too
busy" to register or if.you registered and then
didn't get around to vote on election day,
you have absolutely no kick coming no mat
ter who was elected. If you didn’t bother to
do your duty as a citizen, don’t say anything
if the officials elected by your city don’t
measure up to what you’d like.

He arose, chagrined and mad
clear through. This time he came
in swinging. Just what the ef
ficiency man did it is difficult to
say, for he did not appear to be
doing anything, except failing to
get hit. He had his hands up,
but he was not using them on
Tommy. He was dodging punches,
stopping punches, diverting punche
but he was contenting himself
with that.
His face wore a thoughtful look.
He was not giving ground, but at
the same time he seemed to be
engaged in a purely negative way.
It went thus for some minutes,
and finally the efficiency man be

than in the shortest way. Observe
