I ! II * **--?[ "A i .'S M Sr * JOHN pp I john OCI1&C ? ? ? . 0 BLAKE -T " l YOUR LEISURE* HOURS T IKE a machine, you only rust ^ while you are Idle. Rest Is neces sary. Idleness Is not. Ideas come oftenest in your leisure hours. By making use of these hours, not only for rest and recreation, but for thought, you mny make them the most valuable pari of your life. This Is particularly true of men who ar& employed upon tasks which require more attention than Inventiveness. There is much tedious work to be done in the world. Once the motions are learned there is nothing to do but follow them. Day after Jay it is the same thing over again, till the mind becomes numb and the heart sick with sheer weariness. If you have this kind of a job, you wIH have to do most of your thinking !n your hours of leisure. It is then that your brain, relieved of the strain of constant attention to a humdrum Job, will be at its best. It is then that you will have time to rend ? to think, to consider the future and what you mean to do in it. Even the dullest duties can be done better by a thoughtful man than by an unthinking one. But if you are engaged on ? we will Bay? a commonplace bookkeeping Job, yon will have no time to figure out better ways of working while you are bfcnt over your desk with your pen in your hand. Your attention will be wholly , con sumed by the labor. When the labor Is done for the day ? when you can Something to Think About By F. J . WALKER NATURAL COMPULSION T^ORTUNATE indeed is the man or ^ woman who has succeeded by pa tient effort in overcoming his or her natural compulsion. We all have with in our breast this compelling force, Btrlving at every crucial moment of our life to obtain mastery over our intel lect and reason. In times of, stress, wlv^n confronted by serious problems, or when passion takes sudden possession of us and tem porarily dwarfs our sense of judg ment, we become aware of cur weak ness? our inclination to be controlled by impulse rather than by well-weight ed thought or clearly defined purpose. To put it in everyday vernacular, -we lose our heads and rush pell mell ' Into the waiting arms of trouble, nev er thinking of the disastrous conse quences that may follow. Sometimes the brute Instinct over comes us, sweeps us away from our spiritual moorings and carries us out to sea. When the weather clears we realize our predicament. We wish a thousand times that we had kept cool, been more circumspect In the choosing of words and the exhibition of an ugly disposi tion. But being repentant never quite re stores us to the old place we occupied In the estimation of our friends and associates. The previous intimacies and confi dences are broken beyond perfect res toration. They may be cemented to gether as are the severed pieces of a priceless vase, but the scars are sure to remain. Reconciliations after quarrels fall to i bring back the old faith In one another. | In spite of the manifestations of sor look at It from a distance ? you will begin to jjet more light on It. Lncky 1? tlie man'* whose job Is a constant incentive to thought. The engineer, the painter, the writer, can think as he works, and his mind grows with each day's task well done. But such places In life are few. Most of us must do the daily grind as cheerfully as we can, and when the whistle blows or Sunday morning dawns, think how we are going to get a better Job. Recreation, exercise, both are nec essary. Play Is as useful as work. But nowadays every man has more leisure than he needs for play. If he employs It intelligently ft may become more important than all his working hours. ? Re systematic about the use of your leisure. Read In It, study in it, think in it. And it is more than likely that the habit of thought you thu^ develop wil! carry you out of the rut to the threshold of fortune. (? by John Blake.) o ? On tha Waiting List Peflcival ? Philippa, when I make my fortune I'm going to ask you to marry me. Will you mind waiting for me? Philippa ? Not at all, Percy; not at all. The longer I have to wait for you the better I'll like It. ROMANCE OF WORDS j "Sub Rosa." MEANING literally ? "under the rose," this synonym for secrecy or confidence dates back to 4T7 B. C., when Pau sanlas, commander of the Spar tan and Athenian fleet/ was en gaged in conspiracy with Xerxes to betray Greece to the Persians. The meetings were conducted in a building connected with the Temple of Minerva qnd called the "Brazen House." Because the roof of this building was covered with roses, the Intrigue was literally carried on "under the rose." ' 1 Pnusunlas, however, was be trayed by one of his men and, to escape arrest, he fled to the Temple of Minerva. The crowd, flaring to violate the sanctity of th% temple, walled up the en trance and left Pausanias to die of starvation in the very place where he had Been guilty of treachery. It later became a custom amtvig the Athenians to wear a rose when they had a confidential communication to make, and the flower slsc ap peared on the ceilings dt hftn' quet halls to remind the guests that what was spoken there was i In confidence. The same prac tice was coiomon among the an cient Germans and, in the Six teenth century, it was usual to see a rose placed over the con fessionals in Roman Catholic churches.

The marks of the breaks are always visible to the eye of the soul; confi dence and love are Injured. There Is but one love on earth that passes through without being broken ? the love that the noble mother bestows on her child. Dear intimacies survive till death because the natural compul sion of the mother Is to love and to hold love in Its divine perfection. Compulsion of this exalted type Is uplifting, dissimilar in every respect to the evil kind, which brings to all who unfortunately yield to It. nothing but disquietude and sorrowing.
