ALL SORTS.
How unfortunate it is that we
generally envy others their suc
cess instead of sharing it with
them.
Josh Billings wisely said:
‘••Success don't konsist in
making blunders, hut in never
making one the second time.”
“Don't neglect the old folks,
Love them more and more,
As they turn their weary eyes
Toward the other shore;
Let your words be tender,
Loving, soft and low;
Let their last days be the best
They have known below.’’
The only way to succeed is to
ose your best ability. •:
young man whorremembers his
will receive lasting benefit.
If you want to know people
know them well,
Know them better than I ca t
tell,
Know them better than they
wish you would,
Know their hobbies, their fads
and whims,
A great deal of their business,
and some of their sins,
Just keep a postoffice.
THE OLD PLANTATION.
“The environments of brick
.and mortar, which wall in the
mighty cities of the world, de
velop genius and stimulates ac
tivity in a thousand vocations
of life, but they contract the
ideals of men to the circumfer
ence of a dollar, and shape
their dreams of happinss to all
th gilded forms of artificial
plasure which money alone can
buy.”—From Bob Taylor's Sun
shine and Shadows.”
THE DREAMER.
Chide not the Dreamer, but
more wisely hold
His dreams more precious than
gold.
Had men not dreamed of great
er things to be,
Then lesser things on every sid
we'd see.
The fancies of the bygone cen
turies
Are counted ’niongst today's
realities,
And form the firm foundation
on which Youth
Doth surer rear the edifice of
truth!

Those infernal thought waves
of procrastination are mental
“bugs” that have a brilliant
headlight in front and a long,
sharp “stinger” behind.
They breed by the millions
with a little encouragement and
inject their poison into the
mind of man only to hinder his
happiness and success.
Earnest, hard work is the on

fully exterminate these pests.
One good lick of work is worth

Last Words of Rulers.
The ancients had an ear for last
words, and anions the reputed fare
wells of Homan emperors there have
been handed down Nero’s cynical,
“What an artist the world is losing in
me!” Julian’s cry of surrender, “Thou
has conquered, O Galilean!” and Ves
pasian’s ironic, “I feel myself becoming
a god.”
Why He Hadn’t Slumbered.
"I’m surprised at you, Mr. Twobble.
You fell asleep right in the middle of
Professor Pigsrs’ lecture.” “Don’t
blame me for that, my dear.” "Why
not, sir?” “I would have fallen asleep
sooner, but the person seated imme
diately behind me kept coughing on the
back of my neck.”--Birmingham Age-
Herald.
“ A TOTAL WRECK”
SAYS TENNESSEAN
Who Says He Now Feels Fine, Since Taking
Zlron Iron Tonic.
David Jones, of Forbus, Tenn.,
writes: “I got a bottle of Zlron and
will say that I never had anything to
come in so good a time as I was think
ing of giving up, I was so weak. I
cannot tell you how bad I felt. Had
stomach trouble, loss of appetite,
couldn’t sleep, in fact was a total
wreck all over, as I am subject to weak
spells In the Spring of the year. After
using Ziron will say I now feel fine
and can do a fine days work. I think
you have a good medicine, and I can
surely recommend It to any one who
needs a tonic”.
MtJical authorities and tsxt book*
agree that Iron is needed to keep th
system In good condition. Investiga
tion shows that pale, weak, tired peo
ple generally lack the necessary a
mount of iron in their blood. Th*
strength that iron gives may be ob
tained by taking Zlron Iron Tonic.

have its farm life school, where
every girl in the County could

there arc now about as many
labor saving devices for wom

diference being that woinn don't
