Liberty and not theology is the enthu

very men who would once have been
conspicuous saints are now conspicuous
revolutionists ; for while their heroism
and disinterestedness are their own,
the direction which these qualities
have taken is determined by the pres

Planets and o:?*rs.
It Is easy to distinguish a planet
from a star because a star twinkles
and a planet never does except when
It Is near tl>e horizon. Also, planets
are brighter. They are nearer the
?arth and their light is reflected to us
/Ike the moon. Stars are fixed bodies
outside our solar system.
Carelessness and Poverty.
Childish, Imbecile carelessness ifl
enough to render any man poor, with
out the aid of a single positive vice.?

It 1 was makin' sejestionfl, which I seldom attempt to do,
I might remark that old friends is giner'ly safer 'n new. . . .
If you feel that Spring is upon us, remember this sage advice:
Be slow to part witli yer fuzzies, till you're feelin'the need
of ice. r
SPRING If I should admonish my neighbors, which
WARNING I hardly expect to try, I'd start with the
freaks of weather, from now till about July,
? an' I'd sorter dwell 011 the dang?** of takin' a blasted cold,
if you peel oft' the winter fnzzies, because they're a trifle
old. . . .
' Ii I was disposed to orate on matters of health in spring,
I might refer to the changes that April is bound to bring;
an' the crime of clippin' yer whiskers a month and a half
too soon, is as fatal as sheddia* |T?r fuzzies before it's the
tenth of June.

Others can bring foil up carefully; can give you
equipment and education, but at the end there is but
one power that decrees for or against our success, and
that 5s yourself. r
Steven on': said, "One man I had to make good.
Myself. All 'others I have to make happy ? if I can."
Yourself is your direct point of contact with the
world and those about yoc. Yourself is the point
that needs study and adjustment because the world
by all the laws of physics and metaphyies is bound
to react upon you as 7011 affect it.
Were It not for the real serious business of train
ing and bringing the best out of yourself, the business
of bringing happiness out of this world would be
automatic.
As the world 1 is grown complex, more and more
study of the relation of each individual to his sur
roundings has been necessary.
There are certain qualities that belong to you your
self. Your most devoted friend cannot force them on
you. Your most relentless enemy cannot t&ks them*
away. They are a free gift of your inheritance.
If your birth has f>een niggardly with these qualities,
then all your life you work to disadvantage, but ir your
self be mostly of the right' spirit, you will triumph
anyway.
There are unfortunate, ill-born souls who come luto
the world with their heritage of self-mastery stolon
from them. They are foredoomed to he a drain on
humanity and a burden to their fellowmen. ; They

This is an age of attempt to study oneself wit n in

You say, superficially, "My duty in this world is
others? not to myself." The truth is., your pre-eminen
duty in this world is just to yourself. Only .?> uoin
the very highest best for yourself can you the ^ er,
