AE RUNNING TIDES msm HERE the oceans, seas and riv- ers are, where happiness dwells, where progress wends its way among the nations, the tides are running day and night In perfect harmony with the mysterious force which is prompting, swaying, driving and compelling every animate creature to action. Slowly we learn that these unfore seen tides which seem so irresistible, 80 destructive to our fondest dres™s and aspirations, can be made subse vi ent to our wishes, and how by a stroke or two we may swim strongly with their currents and reach our goal, To some of us the very thought of the constant motion of these tides sug- gests that they are opposing us, seek- ing to sweep us under, when In reality they are Intended to develop our prow- ess to keep our heads above the waters and carry us safely on to our destina- tion in gpite of ourselves. We balk at doing this or that be- cause of opposition, We lack the cour- age to breast the flood, of despair we feel that It is preferable to destroy our ambitions and forget them than to make the fight, It is pleasanter to sit by the fire and THE ROMANCE OF WORDS “ALLIGATOR"™ HEN the alligator, the ugly crocodile of the new world, was first seen by the Spanish discoverers, they had a true in- sight into its species and called it “el lagarto” or “the lizard”"— the article being accénted be cause of the size of the monster. In Sir Walter Raleigh's “Discov- ery of Guiana,” the word still retains its Spanish form, for the discoverer writes: “Salling up the Orinoco we saw In it divers sorts of strange fishes of mar velous bigness, but for lagartos it exceeded. There were thou- sands of these ugly serpents, and the people call it, from the abundance of them, the river of lagartos In their (the Spanish) language.” . The English sallors who brought the word home with them had probably never seen it written and naturally considered that the article “el” was part of the noun “lagarto.” In Ben Jonson, who writes It “alligar- ta,” we find the word in the process of Its transformation, “alligator” being merely the An- glicized version of the Spanish name, coupled with a more phonetic form of spelling.

And frequently, while we are thus idly dreaming, the tides pick us up and whirl us off to some destitute island If In our temporary Isolation we regain our senses and see ourselves as we real- ly are, we summon our spiritual and physical strength and strike out boldly for the main land, Whatever our sensations may have been In the grip of such emotions, if we have within us the right qualities, we are likely later In our careers to become more earnest, capable and pa- tient, The old egotisin, narrow selfishness and churlish temper, which were pull- Ing us down beneath the waters, have saurried away, We have become more charitable, more neighborly, more inclined to pull With the tides than to oppose them when opposition Is of no aval, We heed cheerfully the advice of our su periors instead of rejecting it ugly words of protestation or rising up in rebellion against well-meant author- ity. And this Is as It should be. The se cret of success Is to know when to buffet the tides and when to float com- (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Tis Something to to Have Lived By DOUGLAS MALLOCH T I8 something to have lived a minute, However long the after-years, An Instant with an aeon in it, Too glad for smiles, too sad for tears. For in that instant heaven nears, For in that moment God has found ug Earth nevermore but earth appears, Whatever shadows gather ‘round us. "Tis something to have lived a little, One little hour, however small ; However brief, however brittle, However soon our castles fall, Oh, it Is something to recall— To sound the depths, to walk Parnas sus, In one short hour to live it all, Though love may fall us, fortune pass us. "Tis something to have lived com- pletely, If only for a moment's span, Have illved a moment madly, weetly, Have lived the floodtide while we can, Whatever skies we ever scan, Whatever books we ever conned us, It is the hour God whispers man That there Is something yet beyond us.
