Gives Beating to Wife
Who Wouldn't "Doll Up'’
Ralph Magarino, twenty-five
years old, a motorman of Brook

s&usbands, for he not only does

pony born on the trail, lie bought
this little animal, which was the great
trick pony “Cleo.” He trained “Cleo”
and the animal was taken around the
world twice by Colonel Owens. “Cleo”
died in 1918. Colonel Owens then left
the road.
What is thought of him by showmen
is evidenced by his initial, and since
automatic elections, as chaplain of

that these three fingers are marred
by the mark of a bullet that shot the

never been discharged. He is a man
of quiet mien, and to meet him one

valiant men that carried law and order

Something to Think About
By F. A. IPALKER
EXERCISING THE WILL
»THING is more fatal to growth
of will than that form of indo
lence which shrinks from trial and ex- i
pertinent.
The person who is confronted by a
new perplexity, loses his or her self
reliance and in despair cries, “what
shall I do.” is not destined to go very
far afield in the creation of song or j
story or in the crafts.
He must, like boats, keep near the j
shore and he ever ready to semi into j
the harbor.
All the achievements in the arts and
sciences result from exercising an in
dividual will and strengthening it in
difficult situations.
• ♦ • »
Tht* practice of doing things habit
ually, as a bookkeeper adds a column i
of figures or a typist rattles off a
routine letter, increases speed and
contributes a certain quality n f efli
ciency, tint it does not by tiny manner
of means improve the volitional power.
No new or original force is brought
Into play.
The mind functions from nabit with
out any strain, unconscious of exer
tion. Mere habit is the impelling
power which If persisted in for a long
time weakens the will and eventually
retards progress and originality.
• • • »
The men and women who rise to :
the heights are those who every day
exercise their will-power in new
spheres. In their self-appointed oecu
pations they call up reserve
strength, whip their brains to n faster
gait and discipline their resolution.
They think and act for themselves,
master their own problems by per
severance and mount step by step to j
places where rewards are largest and
honors are unblemished.
They early learned how to depend
on themselves by reasoning and using
their judgment. They dug down to i
basic principles and discovered the
“wkys and wherefores."

Then followed a robustness and an
ability of mind which developed will
power of the highest order.
And this high-powered will is avail

to hard work ami avoid slothful !

THE WILD FLOWEKS
CAVE the wild flivvers.
Slowly, but surely, many of the
most beautiful species • f blooms are
disappearing. Constantly those who
love them carelessly pull tnem up by
the roots, or the uncaring destroy them
with little less than criminal intent.
Virtually nothing is being done to give
them lengthened lives.
Yet there are thousands who find
pome of the greatest pleasure it;
tramping through the woods and fields
and viewing the fragrant beauties in
their native haunt..*. God was kind in
giring us so many varieties to on
han<*e. the landscape and make the
world more beautiful. And those who
love the wildflower* would be remiss
Ip their dtitj to themselve* and their
fei' .ws jf they did not Use cm ry pos
sible influence to have the floral spe
cies preserved.
Some may contend that nothing of
material value is to be gained by ex-
may be irksome at first, but if per
sisted in it becomes in a little while
exhilarating and carries us forward at
a wonderful pace without wearying in
the least.
It you would tost this to your own
satisfaction and advantage, try it for
a month and note at the end of that
time how you have improved in men

THE FLAT OWNER'S FATE
RICH vian built a row of flats,
Al! modern ami complete;
, A velvet lawn stretched out in front
Along the noisy street.
And then he tacked a sign tip high
Above the passing crowd:
These handsome, modern flats for
rent—
No ch’idren are allowed."
He garnered rents m golden store
And riches high he piled,
1 he while the echoes never rang
i With laughter of a child.
No childish feet went pltty-pat
Adown the marble halls;
The gloomy corridors ne'er rang
With children's happy calls.
The rich man died, as all men must,
Ami neared St. Peter’s gate.
And o'er the golden arch he saw
The words that sealed his fate.
The wot is he saw were writ in tinmej
And seated his hard heart well:
