TOO MANY’ IRIILES t Before the trial started, a judge • was attempting to talk a couple I out of filing for divorce. He asked • the woman: “Why do you wish to i divorce your husband?’’ ‘‘Because of several trifles,” she replied. “Well, that's hardlv enough to f . grant you a divmve," the jurist ob--1 served somewhat, harshly. . ‘‘it’ll be enough,” the woman Tei plied confidently, “when I give you the names of the women he was trifling with,'' INFORMATION PLEASE I I An Englishman visiting his ron during his first year at Cambridge ; University, was being taken on a tour of the place by the boy. As they were walking along, a very formidable looking woman strode

i by, nodded briefly, and went on. ‘‘That’s Mss Elkhart,’’ e^ptafnldi the youth. “She’s the mistres^of Ridsley Hall.” | His father shook his head mse« lievingly. “And who,” he asked. Sis Ridsley Hall?” . r- p;, The trouble with the world!is that it is filled with people \Wio speak twice before they think, a i tub I*l L . । ( Greatllßooks ; Speak to Today I FACING DEATH OFTEN, on the occasion o^, everything that flwtl doestS pause—and ask thyself j£death iA a dreadful thing l>ecause it deg prices thee of this'— Alarms Aure-* j lius,Roman emperor-philosopher*. I If death surprises me, it enough for me if I can stri^ch out^ my hands to God and say: “Th<^ means which I have received franc Thee for seeing Thy adthinistra-g; tion and following it, I havenotf^ neglected; I have not dishopttrecF Thee by my acts ... , <; a “Have 1 ever blamed TTiee?)Have I been discontented with^ anything that liappens, or wished^ it to be otherwise? .. . That Thon, hast given me life, I thank Thee-^ ... so long as I have used tho^ things which are Thine, I am con-^ tent; take them back and place’ them wherever Thou mayest^ choose; for Thine were all things; * TUu* them to me.”— Epic-Z fetus, Ist century Creel; vlai'c and' teacher. Our own death is indeed unimaginable, and whenever vve make the attempt to imagine it we can perceive that we really survive as spectators. Hence the psychoanalytic school could venture on the assertion that at bottom no one believes owxl aeath ... in the unconscious every one of us is convinced of his own immortality. — Sigmund Freud, '‘father” of psychoanalysis.
