MY NEIGHBOR
I can not pass my neighbor by,
His soul’s distress ignore.
The prayer that moves the Lord on
high
Gives bread unto the poor.
My neighbor I should never scorn
For standing in his place;
1 thirst for love and not the thorn
Of an averted face.
My neighbor may be fallen low,
The cause in part my own;
To his relief, Lord, let me go,
A raven from Thy throne.

tablet will keep your body in condi¬
tion and you cun always foci your best.

FAMOUS SAYINGS OF
AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
A good many of our Presidents
have coined expressions that live
after them, from Washington’s fa
mous dictum about foreign alliances
to Wilson’s "Too proud to fight »» and
"Peace without victory.”
But two expressions of our first
President are much quoted and these
are taken from a speech he made to
l Congress in 1790, and from his fare¬
well address. The first is: “In time
of peace prepare for war;”the other:
“ ‘Tis our true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any por¬
tion of the foreign world. ft
The best remembered saying of
John Adams is his famous toast,
“Independence forever,” for the very
Fourth of July on which he died. His
son, John Quincy, is chiefly associa¬
ted, as far as sentence-making is con
eerned, with “Westward the star of
empire takes its way,” occurring in
his oration at Plymouth, 1802. This
was not, however, original with him
for he took it with slight alteration
from Old Bishop Berkely who had
used the phrase in a poem sixty
years before.
“Few die and none resign heads
Jefferson’s list of deathless phrases,
although a dose second is: “When a
man assumes a public trust, he
should consider himself as public
property.” This latter, perhaps,
suggested Cleveland’s even more
famous: “Public office is a public
trust.”
That great Democrat, Andrew
is remembered more by
what is colloquially termed a “cuss
word” than by any high-flown ex
pression. History tells us that he
was constantly interlading his speech
with,' “By the eternal,” but he also
said, “Our Federal Union; it must
be preserved”—a toast given by
“Old Hickory” on the occasion of
the Jefferson Birthday Celebration,
in 1830.
So much is constantly quoted
from the great speeches of Abraham
Lincoln that one knows not where to
begin. Take that wise and pithy epi
gram, “No country can survive that
is half slave and half free;” and that
priceless bit of philosophy expressed
in his remarkable Gettysburg Speech:
“That this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom and
that government of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.” This never
fails to move an audjence just as the
homely wisdom of’“It’s not best to
1 .swap horses while crossing a stream
! always brings a smile and makes
point. This was said regarding
j ■ change of generals during the
War, UuJ it has been used again
again by supporters of any
holder who wants to retain his job.
I. "Let us have peace,”
in Grant’s letter accepting the
publican nomination of 1868, is
most often quoted of the few
cal sayings connected with the
of Appomattox. Grant-also is
for his dispatch from
Courthouse, ”1 propose to fight
out on this line if it takes all
mer;” while Rutherford B. Hayes, in
his inaugural address, gave to the
world the inspiring thought:
serves his party best who serves
country best."
Grover Cleveland coined a good
many well-known expressions. His
tariff message of 1886, criticising
certain inactive laws, employed that
unique term “innocuous desuetude.”
“Honor lies in honest toil” appeared
in his letter accepting the first nora
ination and the second important
tariff message, in 1887, declared,
"It is a condition which confronts
us, not theory. ♦ *
a
President Roosevelt’s contributions
have been many and forceful. “The
strenuous life” was originally used
by him in a speech at Chicago, more
than twenty years ago, as the antith
esis of "ignoble ease.” Afterward it
became the title of a collection of
some of his essays and addresses. The
cartoonist is animated almost daily
by “Speak softly but carry a big
stick,” that celebrated saying of
Roosevelt anent the Monroe Doc
trine. A Fourth of July oration of
more than a dozen years ago con
tained: “A man who is good enough
to shed his blood for his country is
good enough to be given a square
deal afterward;” while the’working
man with glee preserves against the
corporations and wicked rich those
volcanic eruptions, “Malefactors of
great wealth,” and “Ananias Club.”
No one will be likely to forget the
announcement of the Roosevelt
presidential aspirations back in 1912,
by the electrical “My hat is in the
ring,” nor the “pussyfooting” charac
terization of Democratic tendencies
during the Hughes-Wilson cam
But one of the erpressions often
quoted was originated not by a Pres
ident at all but by a presidential as
pirant. It was that great Southern
statesman, Henry Clay, who in 1850
delivered a speech against the com
promise measures, and said: u

REFORMING GIRL
Former Tea Salesman Becomes Sole
Heir lo the Estate of W. G.
Byrne.
New York. David S. K. Byrne of
Montreal will soon enter into posses
sion of the $10,000,000 estate of the
late W. G. Byrne as the result of an
incident which occurred thirteen
years ago and changed his name, his
occupation and his station in life.
In 1907, Byrne was David S. Kidd,
a tea salesman of Toronto, on busi
ness in Chicago. It was his custom to
carry a Bible with him. In a saloon
in the slums he was attracted by the
beauty and intelligence of a twenty
year-old girl who had fallen from
her position as the daughter of a
wealthy miner.
The girl told him her story and he
urged her to return to her family;
tinally drawing the Bible from his
pocket he read the story of Mary
Magdalene. The girl was so affected
that she promised to return to her
home.
Sole Heir to Estate.
A few weeks later Kidd received a
letter from the girl’s father, W. G.
Byrne, then of Baltimore, which
said:
"1 want to support your undertak¬
ings. Help other women as you have
helped my girl; go out among them
and preach. I will stand by you. And
because 1 feel so toward you, I ask
that you change your name to
Byrne.”
This Kidd did and as further evi¬ I
dence of his gratitude, the father left
him $425,000 in his will and directed
that he bo sole trustee for a $1,000,
000 tabernacle and church. Kidd,
