We all know that there are thou sands of people who think they can write or paint or act or become mo tion picture stars, and who waste years of effort in thus attempting the Impossible, ending in disappointment and poverty where half the amount of effort given to something they could do would have brought them at least a fair living. Hut there are other limitations be sides those of lack of artistic talent. There are bodily limitations that need to be recognized. There Is no more use In attempting work for which you are hot physically capable than that for which you are mentally or tem peramentally unfit. Many people can do excellent work If they are not obliged to superintend or arrange the work of others. For a woman of this type to try to run n business of her own that necessi tates employing and managing a force of assistants Is mere foolishness. How ever well she understands the Job, she will not make a success of it If she cannot direct other persons. Be cause a woman can trim a hat smart ly Is no sign that she can run a suc cessful hat shop, whether the money to start is available or not. The old adage that it pays to know yourself Is nowhere more necessary than in business life. Live and learn Is nil very well, but you want to do THE WOODS BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE SNOW IS HERE. THE snow is here. I heard It in the night Upon the roof In marshaled measure tramp. The passing year Has changed the world to white And pet the seal of winter on the camp. But yesterday A footpath down th hill Touched hands with other roads that led afar; Hut now the way I hidden 'math the chill Of diamonded drifts that glisten like the star. We are phut In From ev'ry distant thing. That other life amid the world of men: From dirt and din, Until returning spring fchall find the road and waken us again. The chore-toy. now. His frost d linger blows And makes his path from Islanded door to door; Like sturdy prow He parts the billowed snows And heaps his brands of comfort on the Itoor. The lire he plies With plks of pitchy pine Until the llames roar upward in a Kale; And we arise To breathe the wintry wine. To plunpe abroad and Icy. tasks assail. So breaks the day; So conies the arctic dawn In this our world when snow U here; And bo away The months hall follow on Till softer skies shall mark another year. The horses stamp In clouds of steamy smoke, The teamster's voice of mastery await; Their bits they champ And hake their leather yoke And life breaks forth where life Is Isolate. Now from tho wood.

Add pea nuts, tuna, seasoning, and cook half an hour longer. Tuna In Tlmbales. Cook two eggs until hard. Cream three tablespoonf uls of butter, and add yolX.s; when blended and smooth, add the Juice of one lemon, salt and pepper to taste; two cupfuls of flaked tuna, one-half cupful of cream and two well-beaten eggs. Cook over hot water until well cooked. Fill the tlm bale cases and cover with pannesan cheese. Ilrown In the oven. If the fresh fish Is used In any of the above recipes, of course it must be cooked before using. These recipes call for the canned tuna. Salmon may be substituted, but It -Is notas desir able because of Its oily, fishy taste, which Is almost lacking In tuna. Tuna In Peppers. Cut peppers in halves lengthwise; remove the seeds and put peppers to soak In very cold water. Beat four eggs slightly; add one cupful of milk, two cupfuls of tuna, one cupful of bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Pack the mixture into the pep pers and sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over the top. Hrown In the oven and eat hot. (. 1920. "Western Newspaper Union.) SCHOOL considerable learning before you at tempt to start making a living, espe cially if you mean to start in for yourself. Some of us are congenltally unable to spell correctly. If that Is your trouble, don't try to be a stenographer. You will drive your future employers frantic and never be able to hold a position long enough to be sure at which floor to get off.

Thus passes day With shout and merry call. With echoed blow and crosscut's swlshy sweep, Until the gray Of eve envelops all And drives us back to shelter and to sleep. Though this our life. A rugged life and plain. Of sudden danger and of slow reward. The wind a knife, A scimitar of pain. With death to fight and frosty stream to ford; Though chill the way, Laborious the toll. Though rough the fare, the habitation rude; Though skies be gray. Though stubborn be the soil. And even day a night of solitude We fondly know. We know, In other years When we shall look again on sunny seas. This land of snow Shall rise from out our tears And dearest seem of nil our memories. (Copyright.)

J UST as the Amerlcr.n Foldlcr entered a vivid protest against being known as a 'Sam my" or nny of the other home-made terms .which were coined as synonyms, the Amer ican sailor has always objected to "Jackie" the name whlcn has been applied to him by a number of writers whose knowl edge of the sea was gleaned from an occasional glimpse of the docks. "Jack" Is allowed to pass unchallenged, but "Jackie," being a diminutive and smacking of the effeminate and childish, always causes the sailor to wlme. Ills own name for himself Is "gob" n term which dates back to the mid dle of the last century when Perry made his Asiatic expedi tion. It was at this time that the orientals first applied the name "pobshltes" to the American sailors, and when the Ameri can naval Asiatic station was later established, the title per sisted to such nn extent that the sailors brought It home with them, gradually spreading throughout the entire navy un der the shortened form of "gob." (Copyright.) DAYS Last Night's Drains What They Mean DID YOU DREAM OF CLOTHES? CLOTHES play an important part in Dreamland, sartorial effects baring their value even In the world of shadows. To dream of clean, new clothes means good luck ; that you are wearing good clothes, a long and happy life. But to dream that your clothing is old and dirty Is not a fa vorable sign, though to dream that your clothing is old but yet neat and clean is not so bad which is gratify ing in view of the present necessity of wearing our old clothes because of the high price of new ones. Iut bo modest with regard to your dress, even in the selection of dreara clothing. If you have in your dream wardrobe a great quantity of clothes, more than you know what to do with, you will suffer through your own ex travagancethe same law in regard to this seeming to hold good both in the land of dreams and the world of actu alities. Also, if your dream-clothes are of gaudy colors there is disap pointment In store? for you; another point in which the two worlds agree that loudness of dress Is bad form. Where they most decidedly disagree Is with regard to the stealing of clothes. To steal clothes in your dreams foretells great success Jn love and business, whereas to steal them outside of dreamland Is frowned upon by the law. Dancing-tights are en tirely out of fashion in Dreamland they indicate a temporary shortage of money. As a headgear, a silk cap seen in a dream is a lucky omen. If you dream of putting on any sort of ca; be very watchful In your love affairs; if you take a cap down from a nail some thing concerning you which you would rather have unknown is soon to come out. If a cap is presented to you it means marriage. An old dream-hat predicts misfortune, but a new one great success in business. To lose your hat means vexations of a busi ness nature. The less you dream about trousers the better. As to shoes. If they are old and want black ing, the signification is that you make enemies by being too outspoken cor rect your manners. To have your j-hoes shined by a Dreamland boot black means prosperity and happiness; new shoes, good news. (Copyright) i I (TDfwnnnE- fÄTTlWlMXY HOW IT HAD TO BE DONE.
