PATIENCE.
How tew of us really stop to ponder
what a lost of useless misery lack of
this one quality causes. Lack of pa
tience asserts itself as soon as we
reach the age of reason. We are chil
dren, but we are suddeoly overwhelm
ed with a desire to he grown men or
women. We plan on what we would
do were we grown up. Suddenly we
find that we have really grown to man
hood’s estate and theta we look back
and see what fun it was to be just a
child, free from the worries, the trials
and the tribulations that always come
with the responsibilities of the new
order of things. We have something
and are not satisfied with it but want
something else, we are here but are
impatient to be somewhere else and
then when we arrive are still Impatient
for new fields. We may have health
and wealth yet they are not appre
ciated, all through impatience.
What a lot of things patience can ac
complish! There are no tasks so hard
but what patience and a set purpose
will result in their accomplishment,
yet so few of us ever take that fa,ci
into consideration. The first lesson
taught a child should be always upper
most in our minds. One who practices
patience radiates sunshine and happi
ness while on the other hand what is
there to admire about one who is al
ways impatient? Be satisfied with
what you have, practice patience, and
remember that everything comes to
him who waits.
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
Several of the night nurses had
quite a scare one night this week. On
account of the wet weather they took
advantage of our porch to keep out
of the mud when suddenly they en
countered one of our patients, who
being troubled with insomnia, was
sitting in a chair on the porch wrapp
ed in a blanket. When the nurses ap
preached the man, he, thinking that
he was in the way, moved to get up:
as he moved the nurses did likewise
i and for a minute it looked as though
our perfectly good porch was doomed
to destruction in the hurried depar
tures of the nurses to safety. Never
mind alittle thing like that, we will
not give you away.
Every one seems to be satisfied with
our new place of abode as we are now
able to enjoy some of the comforts ot
life that were lacking in our old home,
namely, stoves. There are a number
of natural advantages attached to thic
place. We are closer to the mess hall
which makes a decided dineience to
some ot the*boys, now they can get
there earlier and stay later, we are
also nearer the nte and bustle of me

ot just kiiiihg time gets on your nerves

one is sausiied and content to stay
here until me heating piaht in our
regular home is compieter.

One of the patients got a rise when
he sprung this one in Ward C-8 the
other day.
“He hit me,” reported A. Rookie to
the detachment commander and point
ing to a chesty corporal.
“What about it, corporal?” asked the
officer.
“Sir,” respectfully saluted the non-
com. “Do you imagine, sir, if I had
hit him that he would be here to tell
about it?”
