wm you're feeling rather blue
And the sledding’s hard for you;
When your schemes go up the spout
And you're feeling down and out;
When yow've shot and scored & miss—
Brace up and remember this:
Those who win are those who try.
S 0 brace up and don't say die.
Swell your chest and try again;
Grit your teeth and smile at paln.
Tackle trouble with a laugh :
And you'll cut the dose in half.
Look the world square in the eye;
Buck the line and don't say die,
Laying down (s all the shame—
-Bit straight up and play the game.
Dou't dodge trouble—if you do
it will doubly trouble you.
Meet each task with grit and vim,
Do the square thing, sink or swim.
It you see hard luck draw nigh
Laugh again and don't say die.
Keep your tace turned to the light,
Do your best and you're all right.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“BRICK” :
LIKE many othey expressions
which, at first glance, ap
pear to belong to the slang of a
very recent period, “He's a
brick” dates back to the days of
ancient history, Plutarch being
authority for the statement that
Lycurgus used it in connection
with the defense of Bparta.
The story goes that Lycurgus,
being & man of few words, was
asked whether Sparta should be
Inclosed with walls, and replied:
“That city 18 well fortified
which has a wall of men Instead
of brick.”
Another historical allusion of
the same natore was mhde when
an ambassador from BEpilrus, on
& diplomatic mission, wka shown
by the king of Bparta over his
capital, The ambassador was
amazed to see that the cily was
apparently unfortified an@ re
marked about the matter.
“Indeed,” replied the king.
“Thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomor
rowv and I will show you the
walls of Sparta.”
On the following morning the
king led his guest out upon the
piains, where his army was
drawn up iln full battle force.
Thete, pointing proudly to the
solid battalions of armed men,
he exclaimed: “Thou beholdest
the walls of Sparta~—every man
of them a brick!”
The antiguity of the expres
sion In English may be gathered
from the fact that the Ingoldsby
Legends contaln the following
couplet :
“In brief, I don't stick to declare
Father Dick,
80 they called him for short, was a
regular brick.”

l Our Duty As Voters.
~ Now, since there are to be some
clections to office 1o be made in a
short time, it behooves us to begin
thinking the matter over and reason
within ourselves for whom weshonld
vote and why we shotld vote fir
cortain candidates and why we
¢hould not vote for certain candi-
“dates.
: In our opinion every candidatel
should be measured Ly the
tape line of qualification. By this,
l\\'e do not mean to infer that not all
,nf the candidates are fully qualifiedl
to fill the office to which they aspire. '
But it should be the earnest desire
lof every citizen who has a vote toi
;mst in the coming primary.to selecti
'th:\t man who is lest qualifi d lo’
serve the pvopleand to discharge the |
“duties of the office. l
I 1t has been too much of a custom !
in the past for many of sto \o'ci
for n candidate on the ground ¢f
friend-hip alove, reg:rdless of!
whether this friend possessed any
renl merit or qualifications fnrl
filling the oflice. The right of
suffrage is a seiious matier and itl
chould be exercised with care and
diligence. Carelessuess and in-'
difference in voting on the part of
the people has often resulied in
placing in office men who are, by
every law of reason and justiee,
di<qualified to hold the position.
Public offices should not be given
over to incompetents and misfits,
regardless of how loud their appeal
may be or how “clever’’ and popu
lar they may be.
This position i 3 emphasized all
the more, we fcel, by the fact. that
the officers electec in this primary
will occupy their respective places
f,ra term of four years, and if it
should early develop that any one
is not qualified to hold the office to
wlich he has been elected it will be
practically impossible to dislodge
him until the expiration of his four
‘year tern.
It is vain to complain, in the
days after the clection, about the
%pnor quality of officeholders. The
ithing to dois to study the candi
id::tes in advance, consider their
sqnal‘lficatious ‘and forget that Jittle
‘!personal affair, and vote for the
inmn you believe to be the best‘i
qualified in every way, regardlesss

YELLOW WARBLER -
THI'}RE were many -children who
lived in the same badly kept tene
ment house with Tim, but Tim seemed
to be the only one who did not like
the crowded doorsteps and noisy
crowds of children,
He did not delight in stoning poor
stray pussies either or teasing chil
dren younger than himself as he was
often teased by the older boys.
The schoolroom was Tim'’s delight,
for Miss Carter, his teacher, told the
children of cool, green fields, birds and
flowers and apples enough con the
ground for everyone to have all they
wanted.
One afternoon Tim stayed later than
the other children and walked timidly
p b ri

‘“How Far_ ls It to the Apple Orchard?”
up to Miss Carter's desk. “Please,
Miss Carter, how far is it to the apple
orchard you told us about today?” he
asked.
“It is pretty far to that particular
one,” was the reply, as she looked
into the eager little face beside her.
“I used to live there, Tim, and every
year after school closes I go back; and
see all my amimal friends as well as
the orchard.”
As Miss Carter looked at Tim a
sudden thought came to her. “How
would you like to-go home with me
this summer and see my friends and
pick up the apples I have told you
about?”
How Tim lived through .the next few
weeks he could never have told, but
of any man or men.
- These views are not given expres
sion in the effort to defeat any man
in the race or intended to refiect on
any one. All the candidates are
our friends =o far as we-know. We
gee no reason why any oneshould
become offended at our pesition in
the matter, and we do not believe
anyone will. l
the day did come when he left the
noisy city far behind and, with Miss
Carter, rode on the train to the coun
try he could hardly believe was real.
The first night in the sweet white
bed Tim slept but little for fear it was
all a dream, but it wasn’'t and there
were weeks of happiness ahead.
Tim’s cheeks grew round and rosy,
his eyes bright and such walks and
talks as he had with Miss Carter and
he met all of her animal friends, but
' best of all was a pretty yellow war
‘bler that built a nest in the fork of
the apple tree,
Tim watched this yellow fellow fly
ing back and forth into the tree and
one day he asked: “Miss Carter, what
does that bird carry in his mouth and
what does he do with 1t?”
“If you will promise never to touch
bird nests, Tim, or take their eggs, ¥
will show you something very pretty,”
said Miss Carter.
And when the yellow warbler had
flown away again, Miss Carter and
Tim placed a ladder by the tree and
carefully climbed up.
Tim’s eyes were wide with wonder
for he had no idea what he was to
see and when Miss Carter whispered
“Look !” and showed him a nest with
four little birds in it, thelr mouths
wide open for food, he was not able
to even ask a question.
When they were on the ground
again Miss Carter told him how Mrs.
Warbler inade the nest from bits of
straw and horsehair, with which it
‘was lined, and this was brought to
her by her good husband, Mr. War
bler. '
~ “And didn’t you help them at all?”
asked Tim, for he could not believe
that anything so wonderful could have
been made by anything but hands.
And then Miss Carter told Tim how
wicked it was for anyone to take a
nest or the eggs and harm the baby
birds when the little mother and fa
ther birds had worked so hard to
make their home nnd loved their chil
dren just as little boys and girls were
lo®ed by their parents.
When it was time to return to the
city Tim was made happy by being
told that the next summer he could
go to the farm when school was over
and again meet the Yellow Warbler
and all the other friends he had made
while there.
