Enemies

By GRORGB MATTHEW ADAMS

PSOPLE are known and Judged quite as much by the kind of Enemies they make as by the kind of Friends they have. Choose your Enemies. Many a man or woman has been handicapped by having some one else choose their Enemies for them. For Enemies must needs come to every forceful Character, sooner or later. And If you do the choosing of your Enemies, you know the kind you have to deal with. Choose your enemies. Another strong point about choosing your own Enemies, is that you can study them to better advantage than If some one else chose them for you and acted as a Coach to them. For many a man, by close application, to the study of hla Enemies, can finally make them his Friends I Choose your Enemies. Enemies have the most to do with end cluster most around those who are Positive and Definite as Doers. To have big plans and Important work to perform and to go ahead with it without fear or favor, is to create Enemies from Somewhere. But enemies never come around unless you become Effective and Monumental in your efforts. Then the Enemies get busy. Choose your Enemies. But never for a single moment allow the work of your Enemies to deter you from your forward fight. Accept them as a matter of course, never allowing yourself to get down to their level. For then they may swoop down upon you and bewilder and defeat you. Choose your Enemies. And remember that by always remaining bigger than your Enemies, you pave a path over which they may finaHy Walk as your Friends.

SCHOOL DAYS

Just Folks

By EDGAR A. GUEST

A NATURE SPREE. It’s getting on to spring again, My thoughts are on the wing again To joys that are to be; And in a few short weeks again The hills and woods and creeks again Will whisper things to me. And every bird and bee again Will sing their tunes to me again And tell me it is May. And like a spendthrift wild again. Or as a little child again Til throw a day away. TH quit the ceaseless grind again And leave all care behind again Nor think about the cost;; . I'll spend an idle day again. Nor count, the while I play again. The gold that may be lost. rn chum with brook and sky again And let the mad hours fly again. As sailors home from sea. And for a little while again I'll be myself and anile again A toller ona spree.

THE PILL TIE pill is a small, round object which 1s fed with the utmost abandon to patients who would rather eat something else. One of the best things that was ever done for the medical profession was when somebody invented the harmless white pill which could be sold at a 900 per cent margin. After a young doctor who is just out of school has fed n few tons of these pills to the people of his community, he can quit work and lie around a

LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS

DID YOU DREAM OF FISH? ROBERT STRUMPELL, Hildebrandt and Weed Hallam state that the dream distinctly prefers impressions recently made upon the waking consciousness. Freud, as a result of his personal experience and of the analysis of the great number of dreams which 'he has considered in the course of his practice lays It down as a law that “some reference to the experiences of the day which has most recently passed is to be found in every dream," that is. anything read, seen, heard, done or thought about. It would seem as if the dream consciousness having taken over from the preceding day some trivial experience as a starter then had unlocked to it vast stores of material; the impressions of pur earlier years, later experiences and impressions, some so slight as to have been forgotten long ago or even totally Ignored at the time they came into existence, our secret wishes, suppressed desires and psychic characteristics of the possession of which we were, perhaps, unaware in our waking state. / Bridges seem to be thrown out to such of these as the dream consciousness selects to enable them to mingle with the dream from this standpoint, but in order to do so successfully it

are people who can never see anything go to waste and who devour ell of the pills left on the front porch In the way of samples, in this manner becoming as fragrant as a drug store clerk. Both schools of medicine, allopath and homeopath, prescribe pills when* ever all else has failed. It is considered better practice to prescribe an operation at the expense of the abutting property owner, but once In a while a stray pill will strike the right spot when the doctor Is not looking and effect a cure. This Is one of the sorest trials the doctor has to bear. There Is a strong suspicion abroad that if people would eat fewer pills and take more exercise, mixed with a semloccasional bath, they would live longer and have more money to spend on tires and inner tubes. Pills will not revive energy in a man who never had any to start with. (Copyright.) O

To keep a household running smoothly, provisioned, cleaned, made sweet and cheerful always, and to do it incidentally as it were, with a hundred other activities .filling her thoughts, is an accomplishment not sufficiently appreciated in this world.—David Grayson.

must be done at once on awakening, for though some dreams are so vivid that they can be remembered for years, as a rule the dream-edifice dissolves rapidly and we can only recover a fragment here and there. The experience of the day which has most recently passed which is brought over into the realm of shadows is frequently disguised or distorted, but can be discovered upon a close analysis. Thus a lady dreamed one night that she had found a fine baby sewed up in a live codfish. The day preceding she had admired one of her neighbor’s children and had stop. ed at the market to buy a fish on her way home. The mystics would go further in interpreting this dream. They say that to see a fish in a dream means good fortune, especially if they are white or red. To see fish swimming about, unless the water is muddy, is an omen that rich and powerful people will do you favors, and to dream of catching fish means you will be successful in love and business. But to dream of dead fish is unfavorable, and if a live fish slip out of your hand you will marry a person of a roaming disposition. Also, with a slippery fish, beware of slippery friends. To go fishing and catch nothing means disappointmebt In Dreamland, just as ft does in the actual world. (Copyright-) - —-• . ’ 1 1 1

MB. MOUSE & MR. FBOG ONE day Mr. Mouse, who had been driven from the barn where he Oved by Mrs. Tabby and her family, ran across the road to the meadow and wandered down by the pond. “I may as welt jump in and drown myself,” said Mr. Mouse, feeling very sad and discouraged. “There is no place I go where that cat does not follow me," . , “What is the matter, my friend, that you seem so sad?” asked Mr. Frog,

who sat on a log not far away, and heard all that Mr. Mouse bad said. “Why need you drown just because you jump into the water? I live in this pondfeand I do not drown.” Mr. Mduse, now that he had a willing listener, told Mr. Frog all his troubles. “I just eat grain and meal and things in the barn—just a little; and why that cat should be so disagreeable and unfriendly . I can’t understand,” he said. “She cannot eat those things,” said Mr. Mouse, “so why she bothers me I cannot see. Does she ever come here and try to drive you out of the pond?” “Never,” said Mr. Frog. “I have my troubles with the boys, who try to stone me, but 1 can always escape by jumping in the pond; and Mr. Dog barks at me when I come out on this log sometimes, but he cannot get me. So I just let him bark. It is very tunny to see him, too, so I just laugh to myself and stay here as long as I like. Why don’t you come here to live? I feel quite sure if you would live on bugs and water and mud and such things no one would bother you.” “But suppose I can’t get out if I jump in your pond,” said Mr. Mouse, “and maybe I. should not like your home. I do not feel at all sure I could live on the things you spoke of.” “Come with me for a visit,” said Mr. Frog. “I’U take you down. If you don’t like it I will bring you right back.” “How will you manage that?” asked Mr. Mouse. - “You get on my back and cling tightly, and if you don’t like it when I go under the water you just pinch

It wasn’t a second before he was back again, and Mr. Mouse rolled off on the ground, choking and gasping for breath. “Why, you did not even get to the bottom of the pond. You pinched almost as soon as we started,” said Mr. Frog. “I know I did. I knew at once that I should never like the water for a home.” “I can’t see why,” said Mr. Frog, blinking. “There are no cats here and plenty to eat.” “There may be no cats, but there are worse things than cats, I have found,” said Mr. Mouse. Why, that water would kill me. I can run away from Puss if I look sharp, but I could not run away from the water, and as for seeing, how can I see with my eyes full of water? “No, thank you, Mr. Frog; I guess I will run back to the barn and take another chance with Mrs. Tabby.” “What funny folks there are in this world,” said Mr. Frog, as he watched Mr. Mouse out of sight. “He’d rather live in a barn than in the water. Well, well.” (Copyright.)

Beauty Chats

PERFUMES BERNICE writes—“l have recently been reading a number of books about England hr the middle of the last century—Wilde’s ‘Dorian Gray, Thackeray and others —and I notice so many of them attention a perfume ‘frangipani’ they call it —as being used by the titled women and beauties of that day. Is it a real perfume, and if so can it be bought now? It must be lovely to have made such an impression upon writes. Can you tell me how it is made, and why it has such a curious name? I read your chats oh wearing a distinctive perfume, and wondered whether I could adopt this as my own.” Yes, I can tell you something about and how to make it, though I cannot say whether all druggists carry the needed ingredients. It was named for its discoverer, one Frangipani, a gentleman of Rome who lived
