Don’t you mind about the triumphs, Don'{oyou worry after fame; iDon’t you grieve about succeeding, Let the future guard your name. AIl the best in life's the simplest, Love will last when wealth is gone; Just be glad that you are living, And keep cheering someone on. Let your neighbors have the blossoms, Let your comrades wear thé crown, Never mind the little setbacks, Nor the blows that knock you down. Youw'll be there when they're forsotten, Yowll be glai with youth and dawn, It you just forget your troubles, And keep cheering someone on. Theres’ a lot of sorrow round you, Lots of lonesomensss and tear: Lots of heartuches and of worry Through the shadows of the years, And the world needs more than tri- umphs; More than all the swords we've drawn. - It_is hungering for the fellow Who keeps cheering others on. —Baltimore Sun. » Go.

Mildred Grandy of Yantic: I have re- ceived two books lately called A Little Girl in Old St. Louis and The Flying Machine Boys in_Mexico. I thank you very much for them. I have read A Little Girl in Old St. Louis and en- joyed it very much. I received the other one today and am going to read it soon. Stella Gaska of Jewett City: I thank vou very much for the nice prize book vou sent me crtitled Anderson’s Fairy Tales. I have read it half through and tell a deaf man of his whereabouts. Notwithstanding the -fact that he makes no effort to keep himself hid- den, he has very different ideas when it comes to nest building, for he man- ages to establish his nursery where i is hard to find> b About the only time the toucans’ blg bill seems really to get in his way is when he is going to bed. He seems at a loss where to put it for the night and does a lot of fussing around be- fore he finally settles down. After try ing all sorts of ways to dispose of it comfortably he finally furns his head around and lays his Roman nose across his back. He then takes his tail and doubles and lays it on his back as if it were on a hinge. GABRIELLA RUJAK, Age 14.

In the olden times when our Lord and the Apostles walked on the earth among men the blessed Lord in His journeyings to and fro came to the house of a very poor widow. He knocked at the dcor of the poor hut and when the widow answered it he asked for some food. “Alas!™ repuee the woman, “gladly indeed would I give to Thee, but noth- ing have I in the house.’ “Nothing,” said our Lord. “What then koils in your pot?" A tear stood in the eye of the widow. “Poor stranger, it is only stones I am Lofling. I tell' my children they are Keu to' pacify them, they cry so with unger!" “Look in the pot,” said ths Holy Ore. “Would that they were peas so that I could share with thee,” exclaimed widow. Look in the pot Lord. Lifting the 1id obediently the widow was amazed to see that instead of the little white stoncs she had placed in the pot, Jarge sreen peas were bob- bing merrily around in the water. “It is a miracle,” she cried, but when she turned to thank the ‘Stranger Guest He had disappeared, but' the tender green peas remained as a sou- venir of His visit.

All thinge in Nature are sensitive to degrees of temperature, and they do not start in the spring until the temperature which awakens them and tells them it is time to go to work is established by the sun.
