THE THINGS THAT COUNT
Not what Vve have, but what we use,
Not what we see, but what we choose.
These are the things that mar or
bless
The sum of human happiness.
The things near by, not things afar
Not what we seem, but what we are.
i These are the things that make or
brake. ,
iThat give the heart its joy or ache.
Not what seems fair, but what is
true;
Not what we dream, but what we do.
These are the things that shine like
| gems—
l Like stars in fortune’s diadems.
Not as we take, but as we give;
Not as we pray, but as we live.
These are the things that make for
peace,
Both now and after time shall cease.

SYMPATHY
The hall resounded to the gentle
shuffle of dancing-shoes upon the
polished floor.
Seated together in a corner were
two men.
“Do you see that tall woman with,
the sharp nose and the vicious-look
ing eye?” said the first man.
“Yes,” said his companion.
“Well,” went on the first speaker,
*Tve Seen watching her for quite a
while. She’s always got her nose in
somebody’s business. She’s the last
woman I’d marry.”
The older man gazed at him with a
look of admiration.
“Old chap,” he said at length,
“shake hands; You’ve just shown me
how strangely in sympathy we are.
That woman is the last woman I mar
ried.”
SPEED OF MODERN LIFE
CHANGING HUMANS FAST
Men of the future may have
spindle legs, thick girts, narrow
chests and toothless and chinless
mouths, while future women will be
slender hipped and unable to bear
children, in the opinion of J. E.
Rogers, of New York city, field di
rector of the National Physical Edu
cational Service.
The speed of modern life, abolish
ment of walking and other activi
ties and extreme" diet fads are re
sponsible for a tendency in this di
rection, declares Mr. Rogers. The
change will be slow.
