Serving Two Masters

AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Good evening juniors: ! It Isn't &Jways, nor almost always that the biggest things are the. most admired pox is it that the things which we see are the most powerful. Sometimes' It -happens that the most precious things are thorp which are delicate and elusive, and the greatest forces are those whose outline and substance we can not see. People put a high value on gold but in what small quantities it is seen, compared to' the great masses of iron and copper which are also taken from the earth. How much more, traders value little bits of dirt covered stone taken from a diamond mine than they do great masses of granite or quartz or coal. Which is more powerful, the dirigible which in case of accident is seen to drop limply to earth or the power of gravity which draws it.' Which is greater, the trolley car or the power which is set in motion when the trolly touches the wire above and the metal wheels are in conl act with the rails? So we could go on giving endless examples. In each case the force which we cannot see is an immense number of times (a number so high that we can not figure it) greater than the tiling we see. Those things which 'go to make up character as faith, affection, pluck, loyalty and endurance and kindness are like that not able to be seen but more powerful than all appearances.

From among these traits of character, I am thinking tonight of

nnr. psneciallv. one which is perhaps a little more elusive, a little

more delicate' than most of the others, and that is reverence or respec. Hnvn vnn over watched the wonderful poise of a humming bird

as it flies'about, or stops in front of a honey suckle vine, the little

insect like wings whirring so fast, but its body so poised that we can scarcely see any movement? Reverence is like that, lovely and delicute yet adding infinite quiet strength and beauty to the character which has it in its makeup. Have you noticed the soft down on the wings of butterflies or moths? The rich beautiful colorings would lack a great deal of their (.harm if they lacked this light covering of down. Reverence, too i3 like that, just as delicate and equally increases the charm of one's character.. This refers alike to boys and girls, and men and women. The strongest of men are stronger if in their character is the quality of deep reverence and respect for God and for everything they as.-ociale with Him and for human life which includes all other living people and themselves. How much to be pitied in life is that person which holds nothing sacred to himself, who lias no principles which he holds as dearer than life itself to him.

Characters wilhout reverence and respect are bold and heavy and unpleasant, and m;ike one think of tin quotation, "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Reverence is one of those qualities which helps us to know "there Is a radiance on the wings of time, and a light in our house of dreams." Sincerely your friend, AUNT POLLY.

You Can't Do It and Satisfy Both. PART I You yj-'t serve two masters and satisfy both of thenT" A fact whose truth I never Hui,"

realized until At one time not so long ago I was a sophomore in the high school of the town in which I live. Not that there is anything particularly significant or important about thi3 other than the mere fact that my entrance into the sophomore class spelled the beginning of a series of events that taught me something outside the usual run of high school studies something that I shall never forget. Previous to my becoming a sophomore I was a quiet, unobtrusive, every day student in school. Being a freshman I did not enter to a great extent into the rather enviable circles of the more advanced people in school. At the same time I was filled with what the editors of school papers are always writing editorials about school spirit, but only on rare occasions did I give

vent to this feeling for the mail

and simple reason that, a3 a freshman, 1 felt myself better to be seen and not heard. I was somewhat modest and timid about taking a very active part in high school life. Socially, that is. But as a studi

ous person. I was one of the leaders of my class. I do not say this to boast, hut just to lay before you the facts of the matter. In all my subjects I was carrying five that year I was well graded and if I am not mistaken my monthly reports from school greatly pleased my parents. All during that freshman year going to. high school was more or less of a drone monotonous, per

haps, is the word to express it.

When I had! first come from the

grammar school into the more dignified realms of high school it was, of course, a change and was gladly received. But the novelty of being

called "Mister" in the class room

soon wore off and high school for

me became nothing but one long drawn out chain of Algebra, English, French and so on.

Before I had never been able . to grasp the idea, but now ! Such foolish things those fresh

men would do! Of all the queer questions they would ask! And promptly forgetting my own days as a freshman, I began a campaign in conjunction with most of the other sophomores, to make life as miserable as possible for all the newcomers at school. , . Here we tJS n case ' an egotistically sopuomoTeT je?P in touch with it. More next week.

Well Brought Up Ruth's mother had several visitors for dinner. Consequently the child did not receive as much attention as she liked. She was quiet for a little while, then got up from her chair, rang the bell for the maid, and when she appeared upon the scene she said, "Delia bring me everything that's toming at once.. I's dot dood manners, but I tan't starve." Chicago Tribune.

BRITAIN'S MINISTER IN PRIVATE ROLE AS GRANDAD,

Stevenson Tells Friend in Letter . That Writing Boys' Stories is Fun

"Tusilala" which means "Teller blind beggar in Chapter HI, I be

of Tales" was the name given ttieir beloved friend and leader. Robert Louis Stevenson by the natives of Samoa where he spent his last and probably his happiest years. The writer of "Treasure Island" found telling or writing such stories so enjoyable that, it seemed he was playing instead of working when he did it. "The Sea Cook" was the first name Stevenson planned to give to the story which he later called "Treasure Island." He began telling boys' stories at the urgent re

quest of his stepson Lloyd Osbourne who was a junior at tha; time and very fond of his step father whom he called Louis. In a letter to a friend of his writ1 1 n in August, 1881, lie tells a liltle about the beginning of Treasure Island.

In regard to this he says in part:

lieve; no writing, just drive along

as the words come and the pen will scratch! It. L. L. author of Boys Stories. Thus he signs himself the man who could "make up" and tell sucn interesting stories. The story appeared first in Young Folks Magazine. Planned Other Stories He planned to write other stories like "Treasure Island" as he says

in anoiner letter to tne same

friend:

"1 propose to follow up 'The Sea-

Cook at proper intervals by Jerry

Ahershaw: A Tale of Putncv

Heath' (which or its site I must visit); The Leading Light: A Tale of the Coast,' The Squaw Men: or the Wild West,' 1 love writing boys' books. "Since this was written, 'The

Cook' is in his nineteenth chapter.

PART II In grammar school I had always been somewhat active in athletics. I had been a member of the baseball team and playd centec on the basket-ball squad, but inasmuch as in high school the one I attended, at last it was not the custom for freshmen to display their athletic

ability before the world at large and the school in particular, I made no attempt to get on any of the teams. All I did was pay strict at

tention to my books. Studied hard each day after returning home from school and came through at the end of every month with very gratifying grades on my report card. This became tiresome. There was not enough variety. I wanted something different with which to break the monotony of it all. And then came the time when I was advanced from the freshman

class into the sophomore. Ah I can still remember that glorious day when I was told that

I had "passed all the tests and would soon commence on my second year of high school work. I realized that with my becoming a sophomore and invisible bar would be lifted and I would be taken into the social activities of the school,

more than while in the freshman

class. I had learned the ropes.

I believe that I actually became

big-headed with my becoming a second year student. I guess I was

just arriving at that age when people say a fellow knows more than

he will ever know again in his

whole life. It is true, too that now I began to see why freshmen are so often jibed at and joked about.

Answer to this is published in another part of this week's Junior.

Separate the crown and brim and cover the crown with folds of the crepe paper. To do this, slip one fold of crepe paper part way from its cover and. tut strips two inches wide, using the edge of the packet as a guide. Fold the strips in the center, as sfiown by the dotted line in figure 1. Starting at. the bottom of the crown, sew the folds to the shape, lapping each strip over

the preceding one, as shown in figure 2. The Folded Brim" To make the brim, cut strips two inches wide with the grain, and lengthwise of the fold. Fold in tho center and fasten the end of the strip to the inside of the brim, holding firmly as you fold it over the edge, and bring it back on the other side, where it is pasted down. Lap one fold over the other Just enough1
