MOLDING OF A CHARACTER
Matter of the Greatest Moment to
Which Too Little Thought la
Directed.
To nothing in life, perhaps, is thert*
directed so little thought as Jo the
shaping of a careerthe molding of a
character. Thousands of men and
women around us live their indifferent
lives, and pass away without doing
anything really worth while, failing to
get out of life its best and most beau
tiful. We need not achieve wonder
ful things or become great personages
high in the esteem of the world it
matters not whether we are king or
peasant, the stamp of merit is placed
on those who give their whole-hearted
intention to whatever they undertake.
Whether it be th* making on an intri
cate marvel of workmanship or the ex
t-eutlon of everyday duties. Whatever
is assigned to-us should call forth the
best that is in us.
Let us not be afraid to examine our
faults. It requires courage, certainly,
to weigh our own defects and iook
them bravely In the face but it is
only by so doing that we may over
come them and cast them aside. Shall
we be content to drift along without
striving to rise above the level of
those who do not care? Our charac
ter lies in our cwn hands. There is no
one else in the world who can
make or mar it. We may be influ
enced, of course, by good or evil as
sociates, but with ourselves lies the
uniform molding of our career. We
are the sculptors, our life is the clay.
We can make it an indistinguishable
mass of material or the masterpiece of
a Midielangelo. Which shall we
choose?
OVERWORK IS GREAT FOLLY
Words of Two Prominent Men That
Should be Considered by Every
Busy Person.
Woman can rail at the folly of
overwork and she gets scant heed.
Here is what two prominent men have I
to say about it. Whether they prac- I
ttce as they preach is best known to
themselves, but the sentiment la all
right.
Chauncey Depew has said: "I do not
believe In overwork, and the body can i
not endure it."
Kirkham, in his "Recources," writes:
"If we do not play enough it is be
cause we are overfond of business
and because the modern ideal is, not
a well-rounded man of* elevated mind,
healthy body and divers resources, but I
ii rich man, a man of propertyof one
resource only. Another reason is, play
Implies leisure, and leisure is the.
cardinal heresy against the religion of
trade, the dogma of business. The
orthodox view is a life of constant ef
tort, followed by retirement and rest,
The fruit of that doctrine is a host of
prematurely old men, synical, dyspep- i
tic, nervously depleted, without re
sources, but with money that is to
say, dead men."
If instead of nagging, the worrying
wife or mother has those two para-1
graphs stuck in the mirror of the man
whose overwork is rankest folly, she
may make an impression before the
jverstrain has earned its sure penalty
of a bad breakdown.
Not the Real Thing.
From a city apartment little Jack
was going for the first time to spend
Christmas at his grandfather's farm.
As he ran up the steps of the old
house his grandmother caught him up
in her arms and put him down, rosy
and laughing, before the great log lire
in the living room.
'Isn't that fine, Jackie, boy?" she
said. "You don't have big log flies
like that In New York, do you?"
The boy looked with wide-eyed de
light at the huge logs as they blazed
and crackled in the generous old fire
place, but he was stanchly loyal to
his "six rooms and bath."
"It's nice, grandma, but it's only an
imitation gas log, isn't it? We have
real ones in my house."Lippincott's.
Disliked the Flavor.
A kindergarten teacher in Philadel
phia fell in love at first sight with a
cherubic youth of four who was
Cleans-Seiv^Gth
brought to her for instruction.
"Oh, what a dear!" exclaimed the
young woman. "Have you any broth
ers like yourself?"
"Yes'm," replied the cherub ,"me
and Tommy and Dick. I like -Dick
best."
'And why do you like Dick best?""
'Cause he did me a great favor.
He bit Tommy's leg."
"But, dearie," protested the teach
er, "why should you want Dick to bite
Tommy's leg?"
'Cause I hate the taste of Tom
my's leg," explained the cherub.
GOOD REASON FOR VACATION
After All, There Is Something
Truth In Argument Put Forth
by Whittle*-.
of
"I am determined to go on a vaca-
tion!"
Whittier looked almost fierce as he
spoke. Cleverton regarded him witt
a quizzical look.
"You havej comfortable home?" h
asked.
"Splendid nothing could be better."
"And a loving wife?"
'None more so. Studies to please
all the time. Never obtrudes herself,
and is silent when desirable."
"You are in -good physical condi-
tion?"
"Very never felt better."
"No trouble of any sort, no hidden
worry that you want to get away
from
"None whatever. Everything is
serene."
"What, then, is the reason for youi
going?"
Whittier smiled.
"My dear boy," he replied, "don't
you know that when everything is
running smoothly, when there is abso
lutely no cause for complaint, when
you simply couldn't improve on the
present condition if you trieddon't
you understand that then the pure
and unadulterated cussedness of hu
man nature absolutely demands that
something be done to upset the har
mony of things? That's why I'm
going on a vacation. I'm looking for
trouble."
Best for Shoe Soles.
Rubber and asbestos mixed has been
utilized successfully for the manufac
ture of soles for outing shoes. The
piaterial has the appearance of a thick,
close felt, without odor, and without
any discomfort to the feet, such as at
tends the use of pure rubber. These
will be extensively introduced next
season.
Snuff as an Eye Liniment.
Snuff was once used as an eye lini
ment, "The Compleat Housewife, or
Accomplished Gentlewoman's Com
panion," which had run into 16 edi
tions by 1758, extols its virtues. Ac
complished gentlewomen who find
their sight failing with advancing
years are advised to rub "the right
3ort of Poutugal snuff into the eyes
night and morning and take it also
through the nose." This treatment, it
is asserted, "cured Sir Edward Sey
mour, Sir John Houblon and Judge
Ayres, so that they could read without
spectacles after they had used them
many years."

A/HY NEIGHBORS FALL OUT
Here Are Some of the Remarks That
Often Start the Clothesline
Quarrels.
"Yes, I'm going to bring your lawn
mower home tomorrow, sure. The
blamed old rattletrap is no good, any-
way."
"Ma wants to know if she can bor
row another cup o* sugar of' you to
day? She's keepin' track of all of it."
"I wish you'd keep your enickens in
your own yard. Thia is the sixth
time I've planted corn in my garden,
and I'm getting sick of seeing your
hens get it all."
"Say, that kid of your wants to quit
his heaving rocks against my barn
or, by heavens, I'll get after him good
and plenty."
"Why In thunder don't you keep
your dog at home? He's chased our
=cat upon the house three times this
morning. I'll shoot the critter sure if
you don't, keep him tied up."
"Your boy busted my boy's coaster
last night, and I've come over to see
what you propose to do about it."
"Can't you put some kind of a'
muzzle on that blamed old rooster you
are harboring? He's the pest of the
neighborhood. Nobody can get a de
cent night's rest around here."
"Yes, I ought to have sent your pa
per right back: but I'll haire Johnnie
bring it over in a few minutes, as
soon as I read the sports page."Los

CONSCIENCE OF THE SCOTCH
Tourists Who Wanted a Boat Ride
on Sunday Finally Overcame
Sandy's Scruples.
A couple of tourists staying at a
village which is in close proximity to
a well known Scottish loch had a fancy
one fine Sunday to go for a row on the
loch. They accordingly sallied forth
In search of the boatman, whom they
met just leaving his house dressed in
his Sunday best and carrying a Bible
under his arm.
"We want to go for a row," said one
of the tourists.
"Dae ye no' ken it's the Sawbath?"
answered Sandy "ye'll no* get a boat
frae me the day, forbye I'll hae ye tae
ken that I am an elder o' the Kirk."
"Yes, yes," expostulated the tour
ists, "that's all very well for you, but
we don't require you with us. You
can go to church we can row our
selves."
"Ay, ay," said the elder, "but jist
think whit the meenister'll say."
"Never mind the minister," .was
the reply "he will know nothing about
it. We will pay you well."
"Ah, weel," said Sandy, "I'll no' let

dae. Dae ye see yon wee boatie doon

"The commonest type Is the coolie
woman, who undertakes all sorts of
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
on her head, and she is, perhaps, the
least attractive, for her workaday
garments are usually faded and dirty
yet, even among this poor class of
burden bearers, we see many with
handsome straight features and supple
well proportioned figures.
"No matter how poor their gar

glass or silver bangles and heavy sil

Gray Leaved Plants.
Next to green, gray is the restfulest
and most satisfactory color to be had
In foliage. We now have so many
hardy plants with gray foliage that we
can choose one for each month of
bloom and color of flower.
Among them are the silvery milfoil,
golddust, the white and purple rock
cress, the woolly leaved chickweed,
many hardy pinks, Siebold's day lily,
Fischer's horned poppy, lavender cot

Some of these-are decidedly silvery.

Haste to Reimburse.
While, carrying a ladder through
the crowded streets of Philadelphia
the other day a big Irishman was so
unfortunate as to break a plate glass
window in a shop. Immediately drop
ping his ladder, the Celt broke into a
run. But he had been seen by the
shopkeeper, who dashed after him and
caught him by the collar.
-"See here!" angrily exclaimed the
shopkeeper when he had regained his
breath, "you have irokn. my window!"
"Sure I have," assented the Celt,
"and didn't you see me running home

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded Gray Hair.
The old idea of using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandfathers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are
fifty. Our grandmothers kept their
hair soft and glossy with a "Sage
Tea," which also restored the natur
al color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York, who has placed on the
market a superior prepartion of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other
valuable remedies for dandruff, itch
ing scalp, and thin, weak, falling
hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on its rich, even shading than
anything else. Dont' have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
a few days and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and loose
falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy will quickly cor
rect these troubles, and give color,
strength and beauty to your hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this to
your own satisfaction. All druggists
sell it, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded if the remedy
is not exactly as represented.
