KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
Pluck nnd Persistence Will Pull
Us Thr6ugh.
Do not whine.
Hold tup your chin and keep
your troubles to yourself.
livery one of us must carry his
pack. And in the carrying of it
come strength and self respect.
When you were a child you
weni to mother for your sympathy
and help, but the time comes when
you must shoulder your burden
alone.
It is worse than folly to complain
of it to your fellows, liach of them
is bending his back to his own
load. Can you expect any of them
to lay down his load and listen to
your whining?
If you go about retailing your
griefs with expectation o? sympa
thy you will experience only cha
grin. Of course if you fall down and
really hurt yourself, if you are a
genuine object of piiy, the world's
heart will be stirred in your behalf,
and it will help you to the limit.
But-
So long as the world sees that
you are able to bear your pack it
expecis you to get under it.
Stand up like a man.
Some of us who are older can
look back over the way and re
member how we were to "put up
a poor mouth" because of some
hard jolt. Vi'e buttoned up our
white lips and shut the hard luck
siory back.
Pluck and persistence and sweat
pulled us through.
Do not whine.
It is useless. The whiner gets
nowhere. And he becomes a nui
sance. He saps his own strength
by indulging his grouch, and he
saps others of their strength be
cause of his iierraied grievance.
Hide your utle of woe.
lindure in silence. Keep your i
own counsel. Lean on yourself.
Gird up your loins and keep up a '
stiff upper lip. There's heroism!
in doing that.
Oh, I know- j
Sometimes life looks like an un-1
ending and intricate tangle, and
sometimes the pathway is dark !
and stony and steep. And ihere ;
are thorns by the way. j
But, after all
The world that we are living in j
Is mighty hard to beat. !
With every rose you get a thorn,
But ain't the roses sweet ? 1

Or in your bill some error make,
From irritation you'd be free,
If I knew you and you knew me,
Or when ihe cheeks don't come on time,
And customers send us "nary" a hue,
We'd wait without anxiety
If I knew you and you knew me.
Or when some goods you "lire back,"
Or make a "kick" on this or that.

Of firm good faith on either side
Confidence 10 each other give,
Living ourselves, let others live;
But any time you can come this way,
That you will call, we hope and pray:
Then face to face we each shall see,
And I'll know you and you'll know me.

LAUGH EARLY AND OFTEN.
Mirfh Is Qod's Medicine Eyery
body Ought to Bnthe In It.
Mirth a medicine?
Certainly, and a good one bet
ter than the most of the prescrip
tions of materia medica. It is one
of nature's real tonics, a balm for
life's trials, a salve for sorrows.lin
iment for grouches, a panacea for
worry.
Dr. Sanderson says:
"Mirth, cheerfulness, is a better
stimulant for the tissues of the
body than drugs, which react.
Laughter is an actual life giving in
fluence." Another physician says,
"Fun is a food and as necessary to
wholcsomeness as bread."
Therefore laugh.
We take life too seriously. We
do not laugh enough. Or we in
dulge in a stingy sort of mirth.
Some of us laugh so seldom we
lose the habit of it. .
A laugh is a massage.
Figures of speech aside, a good
laugh is a real massage treatment.
When you laugh heartily your dia
phragm gets busy. In moving rap
idly up and down it massages the
liver, stirring that organ up to its
duty. It affects other organs also,
"Laugh and grow fat" is the
shrewd observation of many gen
erations. The old kings were wise. They
hired jesters to make them laugh.
And Lycurgus, able lawmaker, set
up the god of laughter in the pub
lic dining rooms of Sparta.
Laughter is a good buffer.
It is like the shock absorbers
put in the springs of their automo
biles. It helps to carry one easily
over the knobs and "thank-you-tna'ams"
of life's rugged road.
And it reduces friction every-
where.
Laughter is normal.
, Good health and physical and
mental harmony require that the
funmaking propensities should be
released. Laughter does that. If
these natural propensities are kept
back one has an attack of "the
i blues;" if totally repressed insan
ity. Laugh and succeed.
If you bottle up your visible
spirits you paralyze your per
sonality. A cheerful spirit and a
hearty laugh smooth out many
wrinkles of business.
Men and women go every year
to premature graves because ihey
have forgotten how to laugh,
i Laugh and stay above ground.

Knowledge often causes a lot of .f
worrv.
0N1W0RRYING.
Physical Exercise is of Invaluable
Assistance in this Respect.
Worry is disease. In fact it is
oft-times associated with a physical
disorder of some kind. The in
clination to worry over trifles is
universal. Some people have ac
quired the worry habit. It sticks
to them like an adhesive plaster.
Their first mental efforts on rising
each day is to seek out some un
pleasant subject to worry about.
One can readily imagine the dis
appointment that would ensue
should a person of this character
find nothing to worry about. But
this would be an unusual sensa
tion, for one can always find some
thing to worry about. If not a
misfortune yesterday, then one of
the day before if not of this year,
then of last year. If you are a
victim of the worry habit, you are
uselessly wasting valuable ener
gies. Rest assured that life will be
of little value to you or anyone
else.
Physical exercise is of invalua
ble assistance in this respect. When
you find, for instance, that you
can not possibly avoid worrying,
then immediaiely find some means
of actively using the" muscles of
your body. Take a long walk or
play some game in the open air
that will keep you continuously
and pleasantly occupied. If this is
dificult or impossible, take some
exercise in your room. Work
persistently and vigorously until
the blood is bounding through
your arteries, until you feel the
pulsation of new life stirring your
entire physical organism. Realize
the tremendous possibilities in life
and stop wasting your time with
trifling grievances, you must re
member that worries are never im
portant, notwithsianding the value
they may seem to assume in our
life. Their only importance is the
power they have for harm, and if
their power is evil, then by all
means they should be made to
stamp them out of your life, you
can rest assured the exercises tak-
; en as a worry cure will accomplish
the desired purpose if they are
given your entire attention, ana
use all the muscles of your body
and vigorously arouse the activity
of your lungs and heart.
A man with a high aim in life
seldom carries a gun.
