OUK lIEUT TO 111 VANITY.
How much wo owe mankind!
Every hero that <ll**l for liberty died
for you and me.
Every ruurtyr who gnv bis life to
keeii the faith wna a nucrlflce for us.
Every scientist who devoted his
years to patient Invevtlgation added to
our light
Every soldier who fought for right
eousness helped to carve out the civ
lllzatlon we enjoy.
We are the belra of all these men,
They tolled for us, planned for us.
agonized for us.
When we think of the infinite pains
by which our institutions were buiit
up. that human blood was used for
the mortar between all the stones in
the temple of our civilization, that the
heights on which we dwell were erect
ed out of the Ixxlies of men, us the
coral Isle Is made up of the animal
cula of the sea, we are staggered by
the obligation placed upon us. How
can we ever tell our gratitude to those
who thus gave their all for our happi
ness V
The thought Implants in us a rever
cn< e for our Institutions and a desire
to Ijo very loyal to society.
Its rules were made for our benefit
Even though sometimes defective, in
human institutions are apt to he, they
yet are uecessary until something bet
ter can be put in their stead.
Our peace, prosperity, liberty, en
llghtcnment, security; our inventions,
scientific knowledge, philosophy, reli
gion, art, litem Unto; our schools, clubs,
churches, great cities, beautiful vil
lages, railroads, steamships, ocean ca
bles, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts,
conveniences all these and other
blessings are free gifts to us. They
have been patiently wrought for n
through the long ages of thu past.
All that Is asked of us lu return 1
that wo use them to the best advan
tage; that we do not abuse or ruthless
ly destroy these precious inheritances.
If we were keenly sensitive of all
that lias been done In our behalf we
would never rest easy one moment un
less we were doing for others.
Humanity has placed on us a debt
of snored honor.
This debt we must repay to human
ity.

service.
There is but one true basis for ei
ther wealth or fame.
It is service.
Any wealth we gain for which wo
have not rendered an equivalent serv
ice is tainted.
Any fame we enjoy that hus not
been earned by seVvlce is false fame
that will turn to dispraise.
The Greatest of tlie Great said he
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister.
ills life was one of service.
The old motto of the nobility wn*
•‘lch dien” U serve).
The ilrst meaning of service is that (
it Is something we do for others.
lie who does any useful work is ben
etiting others. It may be the raising
of a crop that others may have food,
they in turn paying an equivalent
price.
Whether he recognizes it or not. Ills
task is altruistic. He may think that
ho works only for the selfish reward,
but as a matter of fact he feeds the
hungry.
Perhaps his work is ministering to
the sick. The vulgar idea is that the
doctor works only for his fee. Vet no
fee can measure the easing of pain,
the saving of life. Whatever we may
say of the doctor, lie works for others.
The one who serves may lie a writer.
He entertains, comforts, instructs or
Inspires others We in. siiv that In
docs it only for the money or reputa
tion it will bring him, yet that is hut
a small part of the truth. He is min
istering to tils fellow men.
Or lie may l>e an a list, saying, ns
true artists do, that he does not work
alone for what lie may gain in return
but. ratiter, for the very work's sake
Yet even this falls short of the whole
truth. He is adding to tin* world's
beauty and so is serving counties'
thousands in the highest way.
So It is throughout life. If we are
worth our salt we are serving others.
The reward we receive is but the
sauce on the dish. The solid, sub
stantial thing is the service we are
rendering.
Moreover, our Importance in the
scheme of thiugs depends on this serv
ice. It is the rook on which is build
ed the temple of our civilization.
One other point. The important
thing is the service and not the To
ward.
The man who works from that end
is the man who wins in a big way.
The absolute scientific basis of suc
cess is not how uimii I can jet from
others, but how much I can do fot
others.

Stig Morris and
The Pair of Mules
When a Georgia mule gets mix
ed up with things in general, then
business begins to pick up. This
was tiue list hursday. A certain
business man ol this city sent, up
near Mays\illc nnd had l! c bad ill
to levy on the mules. T he.se mules,
be it said were innocent parties.
.Mr. R. A Wad kins made the levy,
and th': mules, ol’ course, rubiint
td. The mules were carried to
Maysville and held temporarily in
a stable in that city, il developed
that their stay there was tempo
rstry indeed and this was the can
Of the tiouble that followed.
Bailiff Wad kina was at the s Ladies
watching those mules, wading lot
an appearance bon Ito be si. ned.
While the Bailiff was the 1 - on
some, one came rushing in and
told him. the baililf, that he was
want* dat the phone, by ccntiul.
Leaving the mules for a moment,
the baililf made h s way to the
central office. Imnuigiuc his sui
prize, when he was informed that
no one had put in a call for him.
Then Bailift W<l kins smelt a
mouse-- possibly two mice tor he
made haste forthwitn back to the
stade, only to find that those
mules we:cgone. 1 hey went by
wireless. That brought on more
talk. The next legal step was
to swear out a warrant for the man
who had told those mules to leave
town just an ter, if not sooner.
This was done, and Mi. Siig Moi
ris, a well known capialist of thaL
city was placed und:r arrest,
charged with telling the mules to
leave town. Bailiff Engrain of
this place w...; placed on the job,
and he 'cent to Maysville and
brought Mr. Morris to Commerce
on tl.etiown tiain. The tiial was
lit id, with J YV Sailers, Usijr.,
presiding. The trial judge must
have beliveti that Mr. Morris did
tell those mules to leave town, loi
he held him under a s<>oo bond foi
his appearance at the superior or
city to irt of this county. And
the mules.’ Well they did just
what they were told th do, as us
ual, and lelt town. V mule, lit- it
known, is not foolish about stay
