WORK FOR YOURSELF
Then You Will Have u Chance to De
velop Your Individuality
It is well known that long continued
employment in the service of others of
ten cripples originality and individual
ity That resourcefulness and inventive
ness which come from perpetual
stretching of the mind to meet emer
gencies or from adjustment of means
to ends is seldom developed to Its ut
most in those who work for others
There Is not the same compelling mo
tive to expand to reach out to take
risks or to plan for oneself when the
programme Is made for him by another
Our self made men who refused to
remain employees or subordinates are
the backbone of the nation They are
the sinews of our countrys life They
got their power as the northern oak
gets its strength by fighting every inch
of Its way up from the acorn with
storm and tempest It is the hard
schooling that the self made man gets
in his struggles to elevate and make a
place for himself in the world that de
velops him
Some employees have a pride in
working for a great institution Their
identity with It pleases them But isnt
even a small business of your own
which gives you freedom and scope to
develop your Individuality and to be
yourself better than being a perpetual
clerk in a large institution where you
are merely one cog In a wheel of a vast
machine
The sense of personal responsibility is
in Itself a great educator a powerful
schoolmaster Sometimes young -women
who have been brought up in luxury
and who have known nothing of work
when suddenly thrown upon their own
resources by the loss of property or
compelled even to support their once
wealthy parents develop remarkable
strength and personal power Young
men too sometimes surprise every
body when suddenly left to carry on
their fathers business unaided They
develop force and power which no one
dreamed they possessed
We never know -what we can do un
til we are put to the test by some great
emergency or tremendous responsibili
ty When we feel that we are cut off
from outside resources and must de
pend absolutely upon ourselves we can
fight with all the force of desperation
The trouble with working for others
is the cramping of the individuality
the lack of opportunity to expand along
original and progressive lines because
fear of making a mistake and appre
hension lest we take too great risks are
constantly hampering the executive the
creative the original faculties Suc

THE GYPG1E6
Tliey Are u Separate People a Tribe
Que by Themselves
Such as wake on the night and sleep
on the day und haunt taverns and ale
houses and no man wot from whence
they come nor whither thoy go So
quaintly describes an old English stat
ute against the gypsies Ever since the
year 1530 says a writer In the Loudon
Standard Great Britain has tried to get
rid of tills strange people without ap
preciable BUccess Every year or so
some county Is up in arms against
them yet they persist in returning and
apparently thrive under persecution
The gypsies are popularly supposed
to come originally from Egypt as their
name indicates but their origin is trac
ed farther east than the land of the
Nile Wherever they come from they
are a separate people a tribe quite by
themselves
They appeared in England about
1505 and twenty six yean later Henry
VIII ordered them to leave the coun
try In sixteen days taking all their
goods with them An outlandish peo
ple he called them The act was in
effectual and In 1502 Elizabeth framed
a still more stringent law and many
were hanged
But what numbers were executed
says one old writer yet notwith
standing all Tould not prevaile but
they wandered as before uppe and
downe They got Into Scotland and
became an intolerable nuisance Both
in that country and in England legisla
tion proved quite ineffectual The acts
gradually fell into desuetude Under
George IV all that was left of the ban
against the gypsies -was the mild law
that any person telling fortunes shall
be deemed a rogue and a vagabond
Gypsies are no longer a proscribed
class says a recent writer Probably
the modern gypsy does little evil be
yond begging and petty theft but his
determination not to work is as strong
as ever and it seems curious that au
industrial people like ours continues to
tolerate a horde of professional idlers
How numerous the horde Is may be
gathered from the fact that the number
who wintered In Surrey one year was
estimated at 10000
The language as well as the life of
the gypsy tribe has a tenacity of its
own Many of their words have taken
firm hold in a half slang half permis
sibly way Shaver Is the gypsy word
for child Pal is pure gypsy Codger
means a man Cutting up is gypsy for
quarreling and cove stands for that
fellow

A IiurdiNh Tent
The tents of the Kurds in which
they seek the pasturage of the moun
tains in summer vary much in size
though in appearance and shape they
conform throughout to one plan The
covering of the tents consists of long
narrow strips of black goats hair ma
terial sewed together lengthways
Along the center of the tent this roof
ing is supported on three to five poles
according to the size and stretched
out by ropes which made fast to the
edge of the roofing are pegged secure
ly to the ground The poles within the
tent being of some height usually
eight to ten feet the edge of the tent
ing does not nearly reach the ground
but walls are formed of matting of
reeds held together by black goats
hair thread which is often so arranged
as to form patterns on the yellow mats

THREE SPECIES OF MOOSE
They Arc the European the lZnxtcrn
Amerlcun and the Alnnknu
There are supposed to be three spe
cies of moose the European moose or
elk found In northern Europe and ad
joining parts of Asia the common
moose of eastern America distinguish
ed chiefly from Us European congener
by the skull being narrowed across the
maxillarlcs also by its greater size and
darker color and the Alaskan moose
separated by its giant stature its nar
row occiput broad palate and heavy
mandibles
Expressed In external features as Il
lustrated in the adult male always
best for differentiating species
The Scandinavian elk Is a small grajr
animal with little palm and many
spikes on its antlers
The Canadian Is a large black ani
mal with much palmation and always
a separate brow bunch of spikes I
have seen hundreds of Canadian moose
antlers but never a pair that did not
show a well developed separate group
of prongs In front of each brow I
have seen a score or more of Swedish
elk but never saw one that did have a
separate brow group of prongs though
I confess I have seen figures of such
The Alaskan is a richly colored black
gray and brown giant not only the lar
gest deer alive today but believed to be
the largest that ever did exist since no
fossil has been found to equal it in
bulk Its antlers differ chiefly In size
from those of the Canadian moose but
Madison Grant claims that they are
also more complex and have in the
brow antlers a second palmation which
Is set at right angles to that of the
main palmation In these peculiarities
he finds a startling resemblance is
shown to the extinct cervalces a
moose like deer of pleistocene times
probably ancestral to the genus alces
If this resemblance indicates any
close relationship we have in the Alas
kan moose a survivor of the archaic
type from which the true moose and
Scandinavian elk have somewhat de
generated Ernest Thompson Seton in

OUR LANGUAGE UNIFORM
While Great Britain For Instance
Has Many Different LnnBuapreH
It has been observed that the lan
guage spoken in the United States is
remarkably uniform True there are
many dialects but Great Britain less
in area than any one of half a dozen ol
our states contains such very differ
ent languages as English Welsh and
the Gaelic of the Scottish highlands to
say nothing of the provincial dialects
of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the
unique speech of the London cockney
while in this country with its vast ex
panse of territory its settlement by
Spanish French Dutch and Swedish
colonists and its millions of immigrants
drawn from nearly every country large
and small all over the world there is
far greater uniformity of speech than
in any other laud of equal area and
population
The causes can be readily seen The
public schools have made us a nation
of readers and the press has supplied
books and papers without limit Press
associations have done their part to
ward giving a uniform and fairly good
tone to the newspaper language of the
day The telegraph the telephone and
cheap postage have brought distant
parts of the country into quick and
easy communication and so have aid
ed in teaching a common language
The railroad has penetrated every cor
ner of the land and made us a nation
of travelers Countless human shut
tles thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction carrying with
them the threads of thought and speech
and doing their part to make one pat
tern of the whole No doubt our maps
which still present so many different
kinds of names will in time lose the
strangeness and the foreign air that
are so noticeable now II M Kingery

Turkeys are great wanderers A
mother will often lead her brood three
or four miles away from home There
they take up their habitation in the un
frequented woods The instinct for sol
itude and wild life is very strong after
centuries of domestication But a kin
dred instinct Impels the mother to bring
her grown family back in the fall to
where she started out with them in the
spring This is not done however till
the leaves are all off the trees the
beechnuts have fallen and have been
eaten and the cold winds and some
times the snow have made the sylvan
retreats inhospitable
