Are you civilized ? Be careful now
before answering, because there is a
guage by which you can judge your
self—and you may be surprised at the
findings. Answer accurate!‘How
tolerant are you?”—and you - jtiH
know to what degree you are civiliz
ed.
It has been aptly put by one writer
that: “The measure of your tolerance
is your distance from the jungle."
Schooling and manners have nothing
to do with tolerance. These are only
veneer, lyfany people never develop
a sufficient degree of tolerance to
qualify as cixilized people. It is these
who cause the most of the trouble in
the world. They cnicify, they whip
at the stake, they raid, they barn,
they do not reason. Hate and brutal
ity are their answers to logic.*
“How may I know whether I am
tolerant or not?” you may ask. Here
are a few characteristics:
When a man says he will not ar
gue, he usually means he will not lis
ten. He has opinions and he de
lights to make them vocal. But when
he has told his side of the story, noth
ing remains to be said. He construes
any discussion of the matter as an ef
fort on your part to "argue.” He
begins with the assumption that any
opinion that fails to agree with his is
silly. ^ 4
The world is full of such people.

and intolerant. Young people, especi
ally those with good minds, are intol-*
erant of other opinians. Old people
who have good minds usually have
been mellowed and made tolerant
with the passing years.
Be a good listener. Cultivate the
open mind. Be civilized.

A young man by the name of Or-

age firm has recently been arrested on
a charge of swindling his employers
out of some $244,000.
He took his money a little at a

by making favorable plays in the
stock market. He pinned his hopes on
the advance in prices of breakfast
foods and steam locomotives stocks.

Bamberg and ha Preachers
Although The News and Courier

Hm claim of The Bamberg Herald
that “the Bamberg pastors have the
faculty of delivering mes-
interesting, brief and at the
( 'time pointed, every Sunday,”
that Bamberg has “one of the

in the State,” there is a thinly
thread of skepticism run
ning through ite editorial in Saturday
edition, the doubt seemingly having
been raised by The Herald's reference
“a union service” held in Bamberg
the previous Sunday evening, in which
Hm statement was made that “Trinity

There is no discounting this and
jno attempt to prove that it is not so.
Gambling does not always lead to
misfortune. Some players at Monte
Carlo come away with a pile.
But the point is, the chances are
all against them. For every man who
succeeds and who you hear aibout
there are thousands /who fail and
( who are not noted. .
The shrewd man bases his acts of
life upon averages. He recognizes
that there is much luck in human af
fairs. But there are certain laws of
averages and life in a balance of pro
babilities.
The difference betwen a man and
a fool is that the former pins his hope
upon general laws and the chances
are in hia favor, while the later fatu
ously believes in the exception and
usually gets stung.

Washington.—Possibly not the first,
but certainly one of the earliest
maidens to bob her hair, achieved im
mortality. in the sky. Look overhead
this evening, If It is clear, and there
you will see a swarm of rather faint
stars. These are the locks which were
sacrificed by the Queen Berenice, and
are known as Coma Berenices, or
Berenice’s Hair.
Berenice was the wife of "Evergetes,
who was the third of the Ptolomies
.and ruled Egypt about 243 B. C. Pre
viously there had been no such con
stellation In the sky, but the tall of
the near-by lion, Leo, stretched straight
into the space that it now occupies.
One day the king went to war
against the Assyrians, and fully aware
of the danger to him, Berenice was
much alarmed for his safety. Going
to the temple of Venus, the goddess
of love, to pray for his safety, she
vowed on the altar of Venus that if
Evergetes returned victorious she
would cut off her beautiful hair and
glve~it to the gods.
The king did defeat the Assyrians,
and when Berenice heard of his vic
tory she was true to her promise, and
bobbed her hair. Like modern bus-
bands who learn that their wives have
cut off their tresses, the king was dis
tressed at the appeartfoce of his wife
with bobbed hair, even though he ap
preciated her kind intentions.
Astronomer Explains It
But his anger was aroused the next
day when it Vp***
ng the night,
and he consulted his court astronomer
and sage, who seems to have been one
of the original “yes-men,” Conon by
name. He had to explain what had
happened, and after due consideration
he announced, that Jupiter had himself
removed the locks from tlie^temple
and placed them among the «tar|.
Pointing out what had previously befell
regarded by astronomers as the end
of the lion’s £ail he told the king that
this was his wife’s hair. And as the
king was not familiar with astronomy,
he took Conon at his word, and he and
his qneen were highly flattered at the
approval thus shown by the gods. But
as the lion had to have his'tail, it has
been represented ever since as curled
into a loop. * •
