Too Much Oil
Out in my town everybody skates
on roller skates that is most every
body The other morning I was scoot
ing along for the train when a fat
little shaver about four years old red
headed and robust came clutching
wildly along the street on a pair of
skates that evidently belonged to his
big brother Seeing me he cried
Dood morning I tan skate all right
ony Danny hes put too much oil on
my skates

A friend of mine who is a great stu

The Days of May
Ah tho youthful days of May
As we passed them on the way
Days of sunshine days of love
Days of rosy skies above
Days when she was sweet and true
Loving not a one but you
Days of May
Oh the sunny days of May
When the world was just a play
I was star of all the men
She was leading lady then
Neath the arbor nook arrayed
Ah the moonlight nights we played
Nights of May
Oh the youthful days of May
That hae flitted on away
As adown the path we go
Life is still a play I know
But my May days now are ill
She is leading lady still

SENSE IN EXERCISE
Tho Weakness That Come3 With Great
Muscular Exertion
It is a curious fact that perfect health
is not consistent Yvith high muscular
development Professional athletes and
all men who acquire phenomenal
strength seem to lose In length of life
aud activity Yvlmt they gain for a few
years otyecord breaking powers I was
privileged to see on several occasions
Louis Cyr the Canadian giant who
broke all weight lifting records IIo
Yveighed 320 pounds and Yvas all solid
bone and muscle I saw him hold his
Yvife out at arms length Yvith one
hand I jiyv him raise a 300 pound
barrel from the Iloor to his shoulder
using only one hand and arm I
saYv him get down on all fours un
der a platform bearing 4000 pounds
of big men selected from the the audi
ence and he raised the platform with
his mighty back Yet this remarkable
man Yvas muscle bound and crippled
at thirty seven Yvhen he should haYft
been at the height of his Yvonderful
powers
Kennedy the oarsman who won a
diamond bolt for lifting Yvith his hands

used up and crippled before he Yvas

NATURE CURES
Medicine Helps of Course but Faith Is
a Powerful Factor
Theres a truth at the basis of all
this discussion of disease and its cure
which despite the fact that it has been
apparent for generations is still too lit
tle understood by people in general
In fact appearances would lead to the
belief that it Is not appreciated by all
physicians It is the truth that not
the medicine but nature cures the ill
Tho most that meuicine can do is to
place the patient In a condition most
favorable for the work of nature
Here comes In tho value of this ele
ment of faith It is the best possible
help to nature the lirm belief that
youll get well It may well take the
place of many drugs It may in in
stances displace the need of the physi
cian Even the surgeon can do no
more He simply cuts away debris
puts the body in the best trim he
knows how adjusts merely mechan
ical breaks or displacements and Yvaits
for nature to do the rest The physi
cian who pours in an inordinate amount
of drugs thinks he is assisting nature
As a matter of fact he is sometimes
impeding her The best physicians iu
all except extreme cases use few med
icines and those as mild as possible

On Heaven
If I could be out of physical pain
said a lifelong invalid I would ask
no other heaven If I could be in a
place where I might know that my
husband never could be killed on the
train cried one of the gentle wor
riers whose capacity for suffering is
neither understood nor respected by
the sanguine If I could take my
children to a world where every time
I hear a croupy cough my heart did
not stand still with terror urged an
other that would be heaYen for me
The mulatto girl Yvho burst into joyful
tears at first sight of a marble bust of
herself because it was white had a
glimpse of her heaven before its time
Heaven must be like any other form
of happiness only more so said a
thoughtful man And the conditions
of happiness are three a clean con
science something to do and some one
to love Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in
Harpers Bazar
They Go Together
Henry said the young wife who
had taken up physical culture how
do you think I am built
My dear replied her husband fond
ly you are built like a Yvatch
Thank you Henry And Henry
Well
If if I am built like a watch dont
yon think I should haY e a few jeYV

And then Henry frowned and said

an idiot
A Force Proportioned to Its Frame
The Yvar of 1S12 has proved that our
free government like other free gov
ernments though slow in its early
movements acquires in its progress a
force proportioned to its frame and
that the Union of these states the
guardian of the freedom and the safety
of all and of each is strengthened by
every occasion that puts it to the test
