The views were good and the lecture very instructive. Mr. Hartley's light did not work very well and marred the effectiveness of the pic A Christmas Gift of a Government Bond( for would please your wife, wouldn't it? It would please you, too, to be able to' give ''it 1 but perhaps you You can, however- if you in good health make an investment that will give your wife, in ter. savs Americans do not waDt tolre the simple life, so much talked abou t. It is not their ideal He says the average American wantp to do something and be somebody.

He is not contented with a simple, monotonous life, He leads the streneous life be-; cause he likes the game. What he savs is true. And the confession of it argues more than anything else the need of the rjhsimple life. And moreover, if one wants to vein the game to beat out his fellows it is true also that the life, rightly understood an 3 rightly applied, would help one up the ladder. Because the excesses, the discontent and the i Worries, which the simple life op-eposes, hamper rather than help.

But most of us will say: It is no use. We can't live your simple life because we have no chance to do so. And, besides, we are not built that way. Let us grant this to be true. Then why not make a compromise? Be as strenuous as your work and your nature require.

1 Stick to your task as tightly as the next one. But relieve the strain once in a while practice By relaxation it means something akin to momentary indo-; lence sensible cessation of strained effort and a recreation that.is restful. Once on a time in the state of Indiana there were two brothers in business together. After some years one of them profess ed religion and became a zelous worker in the church, but try as he might, he could not get his brother to come out- Finally one night after receing a lot of hot shot from his religious brother and having exhausted all the usual excuses the unconverted one said: 'That's all right Bill and I don't deny that religion is a good thing but if I join the church too who's going to weigh the wool? A certain young man in the sleighing party lastnightstopped too long on the back porch of a farm house and Jme to catch up. had to travel There are two young ladies in the town who no longer rush to the window to seeacertain young man pass and just a few unkind words carried by a false friend are the cause of it.

An innocent old bachelor came in church the other night and A. 1 look a vacant seat oy a young lady. A girl who came late, as tonished at the supposed combination, gave vent to her surprise in a stage whisper which carried confusion to the two in question and caused amusement to everyone else in" that end of the building- How touching it is to witness the renewal of former ties be tween people of now mature years. One of our young friends came in last week and ordered the Onlooker sent to his best girl. Good idea! Next." SCHOOL REPORT.

1 FOR SALE Good, top buggy Enquire at this office. If you nave but three minutes and can lie down, do so. Relax every muscle and nerve. Take long breaths. You will do more work and better work because of the brief relaxation.

Some persons never relax, ex- cept in sleep. The bow is strain-: ed to the highest tension. Some day it will surely break. It is difficult to advise as to dividual relaxation. One may find recreation in society where another finds only dissipation.

One may find it in books, another in'fads. One is lonesome when left to himself and another finds rest in isolation. But the sensible thing to do 4s to let go and let down every little -v i fl 1 wnue. rew oi us can uvv uie Simple life, but all of us can practice relaxation. K.
