Four of Life’s Great . Lessons A GROUP of eldorly people were discussing life, death and the greit here- after when suddenly one of the number asked this question: “What has life taught you?" “It has taught me philosoph replied a man. T have learned through nearly 70 years of living that if nothing is quite as good as it promises to | be, %0 also nothing is quite as bad as it threatens to be. The peach in your hand may not be as rosy as it appeared to be while it was on the top of the tree, but, on the other hand, the runtiest-looking fruit {s often the sweetest. “There was a time when I cried for the moon, and broke my heart because 1 could not get it. Now when I observe that the moon is hopelessly boyond my reach 1 merely shrug my shoulders, and reflect that, at close range, it would lose its giitter, and that I wouldn't know what to do’with it about the house, anyway. bove all, T have found out that nothing fs final, that wounds do not ache, nor disappointments endure. There is always another day, and h deal. If we stumble, we can pick ourselves up, and be steadier and stronger because of the bump we have gotten, and we live to see that many of the things that we so yearned for would have been curses upon our heads instead of blessings if we had gotten them. “So what I have learned from life i5 not to worry; to take things as they come, and make the most of them, secure that in.the end everything is for the best.” “I HAVE learned patience,” said snother man. “I have found out that life is @ waiting game, and that the prizes in it mostly go to those who have the grit and the cold courage to carry on. Nine times out of ten, it is the quitters who lose out. “I have seen so many men miss fortune by a vear, a week, even a day. They were always changing from one business, ons profession, one job to another. They threw down their picks, 50 to speak, when the next stroke would have brought them pay dirt. They shut up their shops just as people | were beginning to find out about them. They gave up their jobs just as they | were about to be advanced. “And I have known so many people who succeeded just by plodding along, by keeping everlastingly at it, until they knew more about their professions than anybody else, or became recognized experss, or people came to buy of them from force of habit -1 have found that patience solves most of our moral woes, also. It is the things that we do in the white heai of anger that we spend the balance of our life repenting. i “In our impatience at the folly and waywardness of youth, we drive our children away from us, and deeper into the pit. We rush to the divorce court, and break up our homes, but if we only had the patience to wait, the wandering sheep would all come back to ti:e fold. So I have learned to bide my time, and wait for the turn of the tide that will bring my ships home to me." ¢ HAVE learned tolerance,” said a woman. “There was a time when 1 W everything in vivid black or white. Now I know that things are mostly gr: 1 used to be cocksure of my own judgment, so certain that I was always right, and that those who differed with me were Wrong, so impregnable In my virtue, and 8o hard on those who sinned “But I have made 50 many mistakes that I am no longer sure that my viewpoint is the right one. 1 have had to be forgiven for so many wrong things that I have done that I have learned to forgive. 1 have been misjudged =0 many times that when I see people do things of which I do not approve, I give them the benefit of the doubt. “I smile when I hear people xnathematizing the vouth of today, mourning over the decadence of modern boys and girls. and “I have s, 50 many butterflies turn Into grubs. so many girly who danced their satin slippers off of their feet, who afterward walked the thorn 1 have seen 5o many varnished-haired jazz hounds come home from the war with hero medals on their breasts, S0 many the community in which they lived “I have compassion even for the wrong ‘uns, because I know that in the great majority of cases they never had & chance to go right. They are the victims of environment, and the wonaer is that they are as good as they are. | “So I have learned tolerance. So much compassion must be shown me, | the least I can do is to extend it to my fellow creatures.” “ HAVE learned humility,” said another woman. should I be called upon to suffer this? good thing in life?” Now, I do not ask that.

CUCZO, Peru, February 19.—Cuzco is a Quechua word meaning the center of thing—the womb of the world The Incas believed this place to be the middle of the earth whence came all life. The four roads to the four corners of the earth radiated from the Coricancha—the Temple of the Sun. This temple was once the soul of the Incas when Cuzco was great and glorious and many times larger. Prof. Ochoa of the University of Cuzeo, who is one of the few Eng- lish. eaking residents of the city. accompanied me over the cobblestones to where stands all that remains of what was once the most wonderful building in the world. Although only a portion of the orig- inal edifice is standing—Iit serves now as a foundation for the monastery of Santo Domingo—it is enough to be a most vivid monument to the skill of the ancient builders. The mechanical and ngruuhurul[ perfection of this piece of stonework | is probably without equal anywhere on earth, and no picture can do jus- | tice to the exact nicety of the cutting of each stone.

A ®old cornice more than a yard deep | went around it, golden doors swu on silver hinges, a garden of arti- ficial flowers wrought in gold and precious stones surrounded it.
