MINDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES

Some No Bigger Than Chigger’s Instep —Then There’s Master Mind Encountered in Moving Pictures. Minds are small but powerful little devices which, since their discovery. have been confined to cells —brain cells. In view of this fact It Is difficult to understand how,the expression “an open mind” sprang into being. Minds are useless contrivances, for the greater part, and are never in perfect working order, but most people who are never satisfied to let well enough alone are constantly trying to Improve upon theirs. Strange to say, the fellow who Is working the hardest to improve’ his mind generally has one that needs less working on than 99 per cent of the ones he sees about him. Minds are of various dimensions, ranging in size from those no bigger than a chigger’s Instep on up to the master mind, which Is encountered only In story fiction and the moving pictures. Through a wise provision of Nature, who makes the distribution, a guaranty of satisfaction goes with each mind, leaving no man to hanker after the other feller’s, but being contented to scrub along with the one he has. Mind is the opposite of matter, but that doesn’t matter to the fellow who has something the matter with his mind, as he doesn’t mind such a matter. Minds are sometimes very useful for thinking purposes and should be encouraged in this respect. —Indianapolis Star.
