If you would once stop and serious- ly consider the inestimable value of these golden bits of time, which are yours to do with as you please, there is a likelihood that you would put them to better use, In one way or another, young people unencumbered with any other burden save their own, are apt to fritter away time in aimless amusement. The quest of goodly fellowship, without regard to where it may end, and the pernicious habit of idling seem, unfortunately, to be the dominating purposes in the lives of the thoughtless. They flit about like butterflies, drift- ing on the winds, sipping honeyed sweets often tainted with poison. These flexible friendships which you make are so agreeable while they en- dure, you quite forget the steady pas- sage of time as you keep pursuing them, wasting the most precious years of your life, in which character is formed into beauty or ugliness. Friendships are agreeable, but they are often insincere, and for this rea- son it becomes incumbent upon you to <onsider them in an attitude of selfish- ness! You must give ‘due thought to your- self before you dre left destitute, in- competent and unqualified to extricate yourself from the humble position you have occupied all these years, which by a stroke or two of fate may leave You stranded and forlorn in old age. You, who are young and hopeful, are wondering whether these words are for you. They seem in some way #0 lean their weight upon you, but in the hunt for amusement, yofti throw them off, “Tomorrow,” you promise, “I'll think -about them. But not today. I'm hav- ing too much fun. I'll make good, somehow.” So you think. So thousands of others have thought ‘who have gone before you! When they awoke to a realization of their position they found their lances broken and their shields eaten by rust, unable to compete with men who had been using their spare mo- ments advantageously, disregarding the call to play. . And so it will be with you unless you mend your way, And so it will ever be with those who think the world will walt for them while they romp and lark and gambol. “It 1s not idleness that is plentiful, but courage that is rare, that wins!” (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

Stop It! wad he didn't.” “THE SAMPLER” EEING or perhaps owning one of the lovely old strips of linen or silk embroidered In almost every stitch known to pliers of the needle called samplers, you have doubtless wondered about its significance and the origin of its strange name. Because samplers fit in so well with the furniture of the period, or perhaps because so many of the old ones treas- ured in this country are the handi- work of early American homewives, they have come to be regarded as “colonial. The fact is, however, that together with other ‘manners and cus- toms samplers were simply trans- planted from the other side, brought by the industrious women who found in their exquisite stitching the self- expression for which colonial life af- forded scant outlet. The earliest known sampler is one dated 1643 which is now in a museum in London. It is elaborately embroid- ered in the needle-point and point which are today so popular with the woman of fashion for decorating her hand bag and other accessories. It is to the sampler, incidentally, that the modern petit-point and gros-point are said to owe thelr origin. How this strip of embroidery came to be named a “sampler” is by no means the least interesting part of its story. We learn that the craze for fine needlework in the Seventeenth cen- tury was met with a great scarcity and costliness of books of pattern. Therefore, designs were worked onto pieces of materials which were called “samplers.” £ros- (Copyright.) 0 SAWS By Viola Brothers Shore FOR THE GOOSE— F THE last apple is sour, the whole box was sour.

O Flyers Under Handicap In flying at extreme altitudes, the pilot is more likely to fail than his machine, according to an article by Lieut. John A. Macready, world fa- mous flyer, in Liberty. “The mind of the pilot,” be says, “does not function normally at extreme altitude, and his readings aad calculations cannot al- ways be relied upon when he gets into the regions where the air is very light. For this reason, a large number of in- struments are used to record what happens during a flight at altitudes above 30,000 feet. Eleven instraments provide a permanent record of every- thing that happens within the engine, within tke supercharger, and also of the outside surrounding conditions.” his carol sung— The robin sings the same today as days when 1 was young. A little while we sorrow, a little time we grieve, When brown the meads and marshes and when the bluebirds leave, But still in God's high heaven a star of hope is hung— And spring will come the way It did in days when I was young, For when this earthly summer has faded into mist, When I go down the river to keep the final tryst, I know that I shall find them, the folks to whom I clung, The loved it hurt so much to lose in days when I was young. For gurely if the Father can give the earth the spring, Then he can give the springtime to any other thing: And in some lovely springtime, again my loved among, I know that God will give me back the days when 1 was young, (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When you get to know a fellow, know his joys and’know his cares, When you've come to understand him andl the burdens that he bears, When you've learned the fight he's making and the troubles in his way, Then you find that he is different than you thought his yesterday. —Edgar Guest.

Cook at least another hour and a half and serve hot, Milk Soup. Toast thin slices of bréad until they are crisp and brown. Bring to the boiling point one quart of milk, adding a pinch of salt and sugar. Beat the yolks of four eggs with a little water.

It was often called the Midnight Flyer, It left its first sta- tion at a Ifttle before midnight and it reached its breakfast time the next morning. All through the night it went, Just as quickly as ft could. It only made three stops and when it stopped it seemed to keep on puffing and panting and breathing as though it were out of breath and yet as though it would feel better to be off again, And that was the way it felt, It was particularly eager to be off at all times. It wanted to dash through the dark night. It enjoyed it above all things, The engineer would take care of his duties, so would the brakeman and the signal with the train would do everything each should do.
