Hard indeed Is the man who will not offer a word of advice or eneour- Wt'incnt to brother the same way.

There Is little enough kindness In the world, hut that is mil the fault of Its great men. Head biography nnd yon will discover that practically all those who glad to give others a hand on their way. The old, the weak, the III need nelp, as a matter of course. They need more thnn they receive, although the world Is learning, day by day, better to provide for them. But the young need help, too.

They need to he told of the dangers thnt wnlt on ahead how to nvold They need the lessons that the more successful can give them and, above 1 nil, they need encouragement when they get "In the dumps," as the yotng nre prone to be. You will never be poor or so unsuccessful that you ennnot afford to be kind. Your" way to prosperity will never he so hnrd thnt you will not hnve opportunity to speak a cheering world or do kindly deed to others who need your help.

SCHOOL DA1JS THE MAN-LAND By GRACE E. HALL LJ) yon hurry away to the VV Man-land. Little hoy wit your eyes of blue, YV 'oLld you trade all your precious treasures, Ret.l wealth that Is fine and true? They have strange toys In the Manland.

Iltu of marbles they have not one, Though they have queer games they are playing From morn 'til the day Is done; They sail groat kites in the Man-land. So large that you'd be afraid. And their trains go past so fast That -yon can't see bow they 're made. There's not much fun In the Man-land, Llule boy with your eyes of gray, Though you think It Is very pleasant As you glimpse it from far away; And there's scarcely a one In the Manland. With all iptf Us seeming Joy, Who wouldn 't turn backward gladly, And be JUST a care-free boy; Bat they do strange things In the Manland, That sensible lads would spurn: They hide all their tears, their sorrows and fears.

And this you would have to learn. JTliey forget their prayers In the Manland, Little hoy with your eyes of brown They even forget their manners, answer with sneer or frown; They tell many tales in the Man-land, And often they're quite untrue, But they aren't like the fairy stories That are told to Interest you; They grow very cold In the Man-land, And their laughter gets out of tune; Oh. stay with your toys, for all little boys Oo to Man-lnnd ton soon Dodd.

At last we have succeeded In pulling an old nmsk from our face and we are uble to smile. We have In some way conquered our stubborn spirit and found a grain of faith In ourselves and In our Intimates. We are changed and the whole world Is changed with us. It Is when we realize this that we experience a great dash of Joy, rhymed in Lydlan measures and tuned In sweetest keys.

Ttenl affection declares itself, even without words. Only Three Miles. The pale-looking passenger had shown signs of nervousness throughout the voyage.

Approaching the captain one day he asked: "How far are we from land, captain?" "Oh, ubout three miles," replied that official. "Only three miles," said the passenger. "Then it's funny we can't see It." "Oh," returned the skipper, "that's because the water isn't clear enough." The test of courage Is the rough going; the test of honor Is the temptation.
