* THE PEOPt.R. BAHNWEIX. R'C. Uncommon Sense... &r JOHN BLAKE i YOUR LEISURE HOURS • - T IKE a machine, you only rust uihltff you are idle. Kest is neces sary. Idleness IS not. 1 Ideas come oftenest in your leisure hours. By making use of these hours, not only -for rest and recreation, but for thought, you may make them the most valuable part of your life. This Is particularly true of men who are Employed upon tasks which require more attention than inventiveness. ^here Is much tedious work to be done In the world. Odce the motions are learned there is nothing to do but ■follow them. Day after day It Is the aome thing over again, till the mlad becomes numb and the heart sick with sheer weariness. If you' have this kind of a job, you will have to do most of your thinking In your hours of leisure. It Is* then that your brain, relieved of the strain of constant attention to a humdrum job, will be at Its best. It la then that you will have time to read—to think, to consider the future and what you feena to do la It. Even the dullest duties can be done better by a thoughtful mao than by But if ft lag nae. f !m u day are look at It from a distance—you will begin to get more light on It. Lucky Is ihe man whose job U a constant incentive to thought. The engineer, the palnjer, the writer, can think as l\e works, and his mind grows with each day’s task well done. But such places in life are few. Most of us must do the dally grind ns cheerfully as we can, and when the whistle blows or Sunday* morning dawns, think how we are going Xo get a better Job. Recreation, exercise, both are nec essary. Play Is as useful as work. But nowadays every man has more leisure than he needs for play. If he employs It Intelligently it may become more Important than all his working hours. Be systematic about th® use of your leisure. Read in it. study In it, think In it. And it Is more than likely that the habit of thought you thus develop wlP carry you out of the rut to the threshold of fortune. (A hr John Blah* ) o- On th« Waiting List.

C., when Pau- 1 Kanins, commander of the Spar- J tan and Athenian fleet, was en- 1 gaged In conspiracy .with Xerxes J to betray Greece tcrthe Persians. • The meetings were conducted In * a buHdlng connected with the • Temple of Minerva and called 1 the “Brazen Hduse." Because JL the roof 'of this building was covered with roses, the Intrigue was .literally carried on “under the rose.” Pausanlas,' however, was be trayed by, oqe of_hls men and; to escape arrest, he jled to the Temple of Minerva. The crowd, lihrlng to violate the sanctity of thfc temple, walled up the ea- trur.ce and left Pausanlas to die of starvation In the very place where lie had been guilty of treachery. It later became a custom amcag the Athenians to wear a rose when they had a confidential conu.'.nfildtioo to make, and the flower «lsc ap- . peered on the 'tdlings ef ban quet hulls to remind the gu**sta that what was spoken there was In confidence. The same prac tice was rotnmnn ntn *ng the an cient Germans and. In the Six teenth century.
