JOBS MESSAGE TO MODERN MAN.
The most insensate of men are appealed to by
some quality of the Book of Job. A mystery sur
rounds its origin; until a very recent date scholars
did not undertake to fix either the time or the origin
of the book. For a long time it was supposed not
and the stern reproof by Elihu, with a brief prologue
some other people and incorporated into the writ
ings from which the Bible has been made up be
cause of its majestic beauty and philosophic worth.
I)r. Jastrow has recently suggested that Job was
not written all at once, but was composed at dif
ferent times by different writers, and whit is now
presented as a connected running debate between
Job and his friends, Bildad, Eliphaz and Zophar,
an dthe sfern reprof by Elihu, with a brief prologue
and epilogue, really was a series of writings, wherein
one writer propounded and another answered cer
tain questions involving religious beliefs and as
pirations.
Eliphaz asks, “Can mortal man be more just
thru God?” and Job turns on him and the others
and retorts, “No doubt, ye arc the people, and wis
dom will die with you.” Afflicted and brought low
in body and mind, Job withstands the tests; he
curses most eloquently the day in which he was
born, but answers the argument of his friends:
"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” And
no passage in the Old Testament more firmly sup
ports the believer's faith than
“I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that in
the latter day He shall stand upon this earth.
And t’lbuBh after my skin worms shall destroy this
body, jet In my flesh shall 1 see God. whom I
shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold
and not another's."
“Man that is born of woman,” says JcD, “is of
few days and full of trouble.” Yet he does not
question God’s ways, but accepts what is sent in
prosperity or affliction as the dispensation of a
Creator whose ways arc beyond man's scrutiny.
The philosophy, patience and pathos of Job are
proverbial, and his example is noted by many teach
ers for the instruction of men. For, when Job had
justified himself in his own righteousness, and his
elder friends no longer contended with him, Elihu,
the young man, rebuked him and the voice of God
from the whirlwind brought him to understand and
submit to Divine Providence. And, when Job had
dropped the consolation of his self-righteousness
and justified Jehovah rather than Job, it was pos
sible to write the epilogue.
Here is the argument, then: “Is mortal man
more just than God?” Is man to justify himself,
or to try to justify God and sincerely say: “Yea,
though He slay me, yet will I trust Him,” and say
ing so to strive with all his power to keep the favor
of God, admitting that His ways are not within the
understanding of man? Job answers this question
finally:
“I know that Thou eanst do everything, and
thA no thought can be withholden from Thee.
Wherefore, I abhor myself and repent In
dust and ashes.”
Even as little children must men be, coming in
humbleness of heart and without pride of knowl
edge to learn of God and to accept His ways with
out question. The lesson of Job and the teachings
of Jesus are. in line on this point, and they show the
way clearly and distinctly to the thoughtful. Neither
involves creed or dogma; they show the futility of
human pride, and the consolation of an unswerving
faith.
GOING HOME—A SMALL TOWN REVERY.
All day you have toiled in market or office doing
your part in “the world of )nen,” and now you are
tired with the hurry and struggle. Across the roofs
of the neighboring houses the long slanting rays of
the setting sun fall like paths of gold and the western
sky is tinted with the gorgeous colors of the sunset.
With a weary sigh you close your desk, lock the door
and start for home.
But a sudden change has come; where a few mo
ments before was the hurry or traffic there is now
only the distant rumble of a wagon or the hum of a
motor sounding faintly in the stillness. Peace seems
to have fallen upon the world, and descended into
your heart. Perhaps a neighbor joins you; and you
walk the familiar paths together, happy in the close
companionship that only small town neighbors know.
Lights gleam out from the houses, and you feel
anew the sense of peace and comfort as you catch a
glimpse of the homelike scene within. The children
have left their play in some neighbor’s yard, and in
response to some unnamed impulse, have sought their
own' dooryard as the twilight deepens.
Your companion leaves you with a cheery "good
night” as he reaches his journey’s end. As you
itop for a moment to fill your soul with the beauty
of your surroundings, and watch for a moment the
sunset’s fading splendor, revealed darkly at the end
of the tree bordered street, you realize that the per
fect end of a day is going home.
- GOOD TEETH.
If John D. Rockefeller, at the age of 83,
has a good set of teeth, he is wealthier than has
been generally believed. The Cleveland dentist
who also reveals the fact that President Harding’s
teeth are well preserved has given the world two
eminent examples. Boys who hope to attain wealth
or*be elected presT&ent may now be brought to feel
that caje of the tcetli is a necessary preliminary.
Every conceivable scheme is adopted in the public
schools to\timulate use of the tfioth brush, and one
of the first questions each morning in some class
rooms refers to whether or not this function has
been performed.
There is no doubt that neglect of the teeth ofton
leads to disease. If Rockefeller’s teeth had been
neglected, he might have been dead long ago. Of
course he has" had the money to call in a dentist
frequently, but a good bit of the credit probably
must be assigned to his personal efforts. It was an
infection of the teeth that contributed to the early
death of Theodore Roosevelt, and it is said that
James J. Hill’s refusal to consult a dentist was the
direct cause of his death.

-WHEN MOTHER SANG SWEET AND LOW."
The refrain of a popular song conjures up a
vision of mother, crooning softly, swoetly to a baby
sliding gently into slumbcrland. It has a tender
ness of sentiment and stirs soft emotions in the
hearts of present generation men and women, who
know or think they know what it means. Another
generation will hear the words, and casually in
quire: “How do you get that way?”
A music teacher told a group of mothers recent
ly tflat tests made on several classes of youngsters
revealed the startling fact that while most of the
little folks responded quickly enough as to recog
nition of different varieties of music played, none
identified a lullaby. This may surprise, or even
shock, some, but the fact is that mothers seldom if
ever sing lullaby songs. Baby is fed and laid down
to sleep till next feeding time, and this order pro
gresses until babyhood has passed. It is one of the
evidences of the progress we have made, and not
a sign of ^retrogression or lack of love for the off
spring on part of the parent.
Mothers are taught to do the things that are
good for baby’s welfare, and this requires the omis
sion of a great deal that once was a regular pro
gram. One who comes closely into contact with
the rearing of infants can not fail to note the bene
fits that flow from the new process, both to mother
and child. Common sense has prevailed, and what
might have been looked upon as heathenish a gen
eration ago is now part of reasonable routine.
Mother’3 love is not lessened, nor her care re
laxed because she no longer croons her low sweet
song over the infant's trundle bed, and her baby
is the better off because of this.
THE YOUNG GIRL OF TODAY.
\
The young girl of today is better fitted physically,
mentally and morally to meet life’s battles than
the girl of many-previous generations. Yet the very
causes which have brought thisr about give rise to
criticism.
Was there ever a time when she lived, played
and dressed more as God intended she should? Her
ideals are entirely different from hers whose
girlish tendencies were crushed and stilted that
she might come up to the distorted ideal of her age,
making the victim prematurely old. Today the
young girl refuses to read the literature represented
by the cheap novel of thirty years ago. The frail,
fainting heroine no longer represents her ideal, for
she admires the one who is ready to meet danger or
emergency with a courage backed by a clear mind
and a strong body.
It is possible to idealize too much, but ^here
are many wholesome girls 'who, when not helping
with the household tasks, spend their leisure time
out of school in such' simple diversions as long hikes
in the opaji air, which strengthens mind and body
She is frivolous, but who has a better right to be?
This is the reason she brings a ray of sunshine into
the home, and frivolity is just a.i essential to the
growing girl as play is to the younger child. If some
mothers could imbibe a drop of this innocent frivol
ity and become lighthearted girls for a time, daugh
ters would be more ready with their confidences and
many serious mistakes would be avoided.
Many mistakes are made by the young girl of
today, not because of wrong inclination but in order
to obtain some of the joy and happiness which every
healthy young girl craves and which is her rightful
heritage. Why must she be forced to find this out
side the home?
“THEY ALSO SERVE.”
Ever and again, Fame lifts her trumpet and an
nounces a new name to have immortality because of
some deed done for humanity. A new machine has
been devised to speed up production, or something of
the sort, and a name is connected with it perma
nently.
What about the men who silently but faithfully
aid in making the achievement of the leader possible
or practicable? Burbank did some things to fruits
and flowers, and his place in the public mind is fixed.
Can anybody give the name of the professor and
students of the University of Minnesota, who la
loriously crossed one wheat with another, that an im
proved breed might be developed? Who thinks of
these men in the field, miscroscope in hand, pains
takingly lifting the pollen from the stamen of one
wheat blossom to deposit in on the pistil of another,
that more bread may be had from the same ground
area? Likewise, Burbank has shown how the gras3
seed was developed into the ear of corn; but who
gives thought to the succession of farmers who have
carefully selected seed corn year after year, that
generations of the grain may show advance?
A great building goes up, and the architect
proudly points to it as a visible proof of his genius,
his dream come true in stone and steel and glass. Do
you know that back of this architect stood ranks of
draughtsmen and calculators, who prepared the plans,
made the sketches, worked out the measurements,
and set down every detail, before the dream could
dome to realization? The linotype was Otto Mergern
thaler’s idea, but as it stands on the floor of the com
posing room it represents the fruit of study on part
of many men, whose ideas have been embodied in
the machine. Mergenthaler is known, but how many
know anything about the men in the composing room
who have contributed to the development of the idea?
“Thpy also serve who only stand and wait.”
Scores of men in humble station daily add to the
sum of human knowledge or contribute in some way
to the softening of human existence. The man work
ing next to one of these may know about h:s
benefaction, or the foreman, who sees that it is
adapted as an improvement in shop practice, but
Fame never hears of him. Great inventions and
timely discoveries have shaped .the course of human
progress, but these have only been made useful be
cause millions of men have toiled and thought to
make them useful. Here is one place where “Virtue
is its own reward.”
“The American of tomorrow sits in the school
room of today,” said an educator at the teachers’
convention. A thing to be remembered when under
the guise of economy it is(proposed to abrfhdon the
high standards of our schools.
The Nebraska Children’s Home Society has
found homes for 10,000 orphans. This work de
serves every encouragement and the $40,000
sought for a new building should be speedily forth
coming.
The French chamber of deputies is a dignified
parliamentary body on most occasions, but certainly
can get worked up when a political motion comes
to a vote.
Uncle Sam is a nice old party to do business
with, but he has some old-fashioned notions, one
of them is that debts ought to be paid.
Even the French can not dig coal by injunction.
| The Flight of Time
■ From 4Jie London Times.
All measurements of time serve to
impress us with a fact which every
revolution of the fj/rn drives home.
Time iS aways passing from us. AVe
cannot stop it; nor can we hasten it.
Sometimes we feel as if it were hurry
ing past us winfccd with incredible
sw£$nfW<. and thru it seems to stay
ft* course with laggard feet, crawling
like -a slothful child to nn unwelcome
task. Hut we know it goes on stead
ily, certainly, without haste and with
out interruption, never ending until
we leave this life's stage and find it
engulfed in eternity. AVe eoupt time
carefully by seconds, minutes, days,
as well as by weeks and months and
years, and as it shadows the dial of
life we become Increasingly aware of
its strange value. It is so short and
yet charged with such mighty issues.
Tt Is potentially so mighty, yet may
become meaningless. AVe do not fail
through lack of time, but through
our use of It.
A year is a large space In the meas
ure of any life. AVe speak of old ago
at three score years and ton, yet this
is but a small measure of time which
Is reckoned by millenniums, and,
! though men may add to the brief span
j of mortality, they And those later
rears hut a feeble epilogue to man
j hood before all dies down in silence,
j Whether men live long or soon pass
hence, time is our opportunity, and
therefore we cannot think of it but
with solemnity. Some who recognize
the swift passage of unhurrying time
would wish to Ignore it, or banish all
that would remind them of its brev
ity. A wise man, however, will al
ways wish to look the truth in the
face. There is much meaning in Haz
lltt's profession of dislike for a watch
hidden in a metal case, which, like
a footpad with his face muffled. Is un
willing to help us on our journey and
only Imparts his knowledge bv oom
j pulsion. AVe must face time honest
| ly. and like w ise merchants put it to
the best account. AA’e are Ml con
scious of this at the end of a. year
and the beginning of another. Then,
at any rate, we cannot forget that
time is a trust for which we must
give account.
It is a true instinct that makes
most men readier to Welcome the fu
ture than reflect on the past. AVe are
wise to think less of the old year
than of the new. Retrospect has its
value. Memory gathers its treasures,
ami experience has its wisdom, but
these are put to best use only as they
are brought to the service of the
present and the future. The new time
is what wo have to face, what we
have to prepare for and to deal with.
The fortunes of time past are no Jus
tification for hopelessness; rightly ap
prehended they can spur to renewed
energy. Every end Is a beginning.
Time belongs to this world, but it
has its context elsewhere. As It pro
ceeds. the wise man finds in it a new
significance and power. He no longer
measures it by the watch of the calen
dar. hut by the moral discipline It of
fers in the shaping of his character.
Time must bring change of work and
fortune, but it is supremely the op
portunity of progress In the real stuff
lif^ in truth, goodness, beauty, in
the soul's attainment of its goal.
These things are above and beyond
time. They are eternal. AVrought
in ti/h«, they last forever. AVe speak
of the value of time. Tt is more than
money, more than pleasure, more
than success. It Is and may bo the
instrument of moral perfection.
If this Is our estimate of time’s
purpose, we shall know how to meet
the conditions (which confront us.
Have we npt become too ready to
lament the difficulties of our time,
and think ourselves beyond our pred
ecessors weighted with care and mis
fortune? It is well to remember that
this has been the lament of men In
all ages. At every period we find

He faces every bitter blast and every

And gets his goods delivered howsoe'er

On tingling ears and nose.
On fingers and on toes.
Delivering the paper when the north

And so, when I’m remembering the he

The men who do the mighty things at

I think about the lad who leaves his

"FURY," by Edmund Gouldlng. Dodd,
Mead & (Jo.
Boy Leyton, born and tired on the
pea, cannot hido from his father, Dog
Leyton, hard listed cnptain of “The
T Jidy Spray,” the traits Inherited
from his mother, who left the skipper
for another man and was cast aside.
Dog seeks to beat Boy Into a light
ing man, and the, development of this
youth, in whom is combined the man
hood of his father and the tenderness
of his mother, makes a thrilling tale
of the sea and the famous Limehouse
district of London, written by Ed
mund doubling and published by
Dodd, Mead & Co.
“Fury” -Is Its title and furious is
the story.
“Fury” lias been dramatized for
the screen, but the motion picture
fAils to depict the character grow'tli
of tills manly youth.
Love, which is scorned by the flght

"WANDERER OF THE WASTELAND,”
by Zan» drey. Harper & Bros.
A study,into a man’s soul is "Wan
derer of the Wasteland.” latest novel
by Zane Grey, (Harper), and the lure
of. the desert is gripping as Grey un
rolls his descriptions of the silent
places.
In a quarrel over a dark-eyed Mex
ican senorita, Adam I>arey believes
he haas fatally shot his brother, and
(lees to the waste lands to hide from
his crime.
His deeds soon are sung by hardy
prospectors around their camp fires
as they relate the exploits of “Wans
fell tho Wanderer,” protector of wo
men and old men, the “Engle” of In
dian tribes as he ruthlessly slays ban
dits and villains, and "Friend” as he
aids broken and hcart*ore victims of
desert madness.
The development of the character
of this giant youth as he grows Into
the powerful, nature loving man, is
dramatically unfolded by Grey, mas
ter of the novel of the west.
"GENTLEMEN ALT, AND M\ 5RT COM
PANIONS,” by Rilph Bargengren. B.
J. Brimmer company, Boston.
Howard Pyle should accord at least
one bay of his laurel wreath to Ralph
Bergengren. For none of tho real
pirates immortalized by Howard are
more picturesque, and certainly none
were so merry as the group Ralph
has given us. Not since Frank R.
Stockton introduced us to the Pie
Ghost in "The Cruiso of the Merry
Chanter” have we liad anything more
deliciously droll or ludicrously laugh
able than 10 who make up tho com
pany that roved the seas on board
"The Tender Polly,” and dwindled to
nine when one succumbed to the
charms of Mchitabel, tho schoolma’atn
who was kidnaped to teach them to
read. They stole a sdioolm’am to
educate them, and a servant girl to
keep house for them. They were tem
porarily converted to total abstin

the spark of goodness that exists,

published by the American Library

j. S. Fletcher, writer of detective
mystery stories, seldom makes it
necessary for Ids characters to use
violence to gain their objectives, He
uses the melodramatic element spar
ingly. His characters use their beads
more than their feet or lists. "The
Lost Mr. Linthwaite” is the latest in
tho list of Mr. Fletcher's mystery
stories. In tills book, which is pub
lished by Alfred A. Knopf, New York,
the author leads the reader gently by
the hand, through chapter after chap
ter. The author has an effective stylo
of building up bis case in a plausible
manner. In this book Richard Brix
ley, London newspaper man, demon
states Ids ability as a detective while
in search of Ids uncle. John Linth

motif of the story. Another thing in
favor of Mr. Fletcher is: He has a
clear style of expression. It Is a

Hastings Tribune: Hastings can
boast of being tlie. cleanest «nd most
progressive city in Nebraska- Are
there any votes to tho contrary?
Wayne Herald: News reports tell
of a 16 year-old boy who killed him
self because people made fun of his
attentions to a school teacher older
than himself. Are people becoming
su sensitive and feeble that they can
not stand tho stings and kicks of so
ciety? The way people sometimes !
ridicule youth is cruel and merciless,
but it is lews so than it used to be, as !
we remember. And it is well to be
lews so If many are as thin-skinned
and easily crushed as tho one who
found relief in suicide.

Hartlngton Herald: Knergy itself
is no guarantee of su cess. A run

ergy, but it's the biggest kind of a
failure. Just so with people. You
have got to have something besides
mere energy to Insure success. Them
must be purpose—control—direction;
in other words, energy must be cou

results useful and helpful to society.

The Little Town
Over There in tTIe little town, ami I've
heard the M rangers nay
Things of it that were impolite in a rude
and rakish way:
They laughed at the stores, and they
laugh**,i at the homes, and they
laughod at the likes of me,
Hecause the ways of the little town
were not as they'd have them he.
The little town la a pleasant place where’
the country' people go.
Of course, it Isn't a paradise where never
a fault rati grow,
Itut, the little town is Its own true self,
nor apes what the big town wears;
If the strangers fonie and laugh at ita.
dress, the little town forbears.
The little town is a place to meet, and
the folks of the farms run In
To buy their needs of the friendly stores,
and to ask how the rest have been.
' And if the band comes out to play on
Main street after dark.
The cars that race from the countryside
1 are more than the street can park.
Over there Is the little town, and ne’er
will it pine to be
Up In the place where the strangers strut
In the pride of their pageantry
Heart of the countryside It Is—Now, what I
would the country say
If the little towns of the whole wide
world were patterned the strangers !

Hastings Tribune: L'x-tiovernor
McKelvie has returned to the sanc
tum sanctorum. During- Ms four
years of office holding he was always
found working lor what ho deemed
was for the beeat interests of the tax
payers of Nebraska, and bo was con
scientious and sincere la his work.
Hlair Knterprlse; The slogan of ths
present legislature should be "reduc
tion of taxes." We realize that this
is not an empty dream, nor will It he
mere child's play to decide where to
use the pruning shears, but it must
be done. The stnto normal board is
loud in its wail for an appropriation
amounting to $2.250,387, which is
practic ally a million dollar Increase,
while the little town of Chadron Is
to ask for uu additional $75,000 for a
state park. This does not sound Ilka
tax reduction and unless our legis
lators are leal men the pressure
brought to bear on them will win
them over.
Kearney Hub: McKelvie and Rrvan
have each recommended a minimum
of legislation by the present legisla
ture. Hut they may as well hnve
whispered the advice to a policeman.
The weakness for legislating is inher
ent and Is not to be denied to a per
spiring lawmaker.
Nebraska City Press: Marie W.
Woods, Lincoln man, told the rivers

that navigation will return to, the
Missouri river. Mr. Woods* dream
will come true. The only regret Is
that it is not true now, thus contrlb
