Something to Think About
By V. A. TDALKER
VACANT JIOUSES
YN TIIKIK grnve solitude nnd deso
lntlon, vacant houses are pathetic
reminders of empty trlnds, neglected
and forgotten by tlioso nble to take
lest cure of thoin.
On old country ronds you mny often
co such 'habitations, seemingly eager
to proffer u smile of welcome, hut
.quite unable to do It.
Hank weeds nro nbout th doors,
the walls are weather-worn nnd
ntnlncd, presenting altogether a sad
picture.
And these vacnnt houses started
Kayly In life; warm In friendship and
love, full of hope and aspiration.
As the years rolled by they
dreamed less and finally wink Into a
liopoless state of despondency.
You may like vacant houses or not,
tout thtsro they are, tolling In a Inn
fringe of their own of the days that
re departed nnd the Joys that are done.
And what happens to vacant houses
.happens In i. far more lamentable
way to empty minds, whose owners
habitually neglect them, and pay for
their disregard tlw sharpest penalties,
nt a tine when their own rewnrd
should be munificent,
If you are wilfully neglecting your
'mjnd, allowing the weeds to grow
'nbout the doorway, you will find some

For old days;
Don't wnste tlmo In crying

Hotter days than yesterdays
Leave no tlmo for sorrow;
On them better fix your gaze
,Today and tomorrow.
Don't wnste tlmo In fretting
For lost hours;
Don't waste tlmo regretting
The lost flowers.
Wetter hours are growing.

Sweeter llowers are blowing
Today and tomorrow.
Don't waste tlmo repining

And now courage borrow;
Hotter days surround you

HOW THEY DO IT
Ol'WNDINO your days addressing to
the world nt largo tho question:
"How do thoy do It?" la Hot going to
bring you any Information.
You will sco lu your travels; tho
banker, the railroad president, ' tho
painter, tho author all respected, all
usoful, nil getting u great deal out
of n life that thoy have, each In their
own way, nindo easier for others.
You will read, perhaps, that this
man started on n farm, thnt tho other
))egan as an olllco boy, that tho rail
road president onco wiped engines on
tho lino which ho now rules.
And If you nro normal tho question
'How do thoy do It?" will occur to
yon very frequently.
For these men will look much like
other men; they will talk Uko other
Imon. They will have tho sumo Inter
est In baseball scores and the out
come of a big prize tight.
And It will bo difficult for you to
understand Just what It was that
placed them In tho high positions they
eccnpy, and kept them there.
The answer to your question Is
THAT CHCAP PAIR OF
Shoes TfW y&u
BARGAIN
i fir
day that you nro living In solitude In
n dreary dwelling, from which your
friends of old turn nway In sndness.
You were so sclf-rellnnt In your
youth that you did not care to en
large and henutlfy your thoughts.
Gradually you neglected this Im
portant duty until the weeds grew
and crowded out the (lowers. Too
proud to stand up straight and stretch
out your arms to embrace knowledge,
you sat down In Idleness or shirked
your opportunity,
Uelno now your own witness and
your own Judge, thoro Is alas I no
possible escape from punishment.
The world has moved on and left
you behind In a wilderness of mold
and darkness, where you have time to
reflect and repent.
Hut, he It known, whatever your
age, you may yet Improve your vacant
house and make It a thing of beauty.
Women, ns a rule, can do this more
readily than men, yet men at forty
and fifty have been known to form
studious habits nnd Hood their old
vacant houses with light until Its
brilliancy Illuminated up the whole
world !
