PIFFlf FOR CALLCW YOUTH
Advice Handed Out by Successful
Business Men Is, to Use a Slang
Phrase, Bunk.
I
A successful lumber merchant has
been giving a newspaper interviewer
a few of the mental wrinkles that Ith
fluenced him In the making of money.
Here are some of them:
"If your initials spell a word it
means you will be rich.
"If, on the other hand, you mend a
garment while wearing it, you will always
be poor. j
"If your right hand itches It Is a
ign that you will receive money. If
rnnp loft hand Itrhos vnil will SDend
It This Is because right begins with
R and R stands for receive, while L
stand* for let go.
"When you see a shooting star you
should say 'money.' As many times
as you are able to say the word during
the fall of the star, so many extra
dollars will you have in your
pocket as a result."
Helpful words, aren't they? Well,
they are no better and no worse than
the bulk of the talk handed out by
successful men for the guidance of
their fellows?that is, in the matter
of making money. The rich or successful
business man doesn't disclose
his real secrets?If he has any?
though he often attends club luncheons
or dinners and makes a speech
pretending to do so.?Philadelphia

HflTHlNG TO IT AS A PIE'
With .Lemon Filling Gone. Remainder
of Confection Could Only Be
Claseed as "Squash."
A but iness man of Jeffersoovllle,
active la the counsels of the Young
Business Men's dab and of the Rotary
dub and one of whose outstanding
characteristics Is a liking for pie. says
he has learned a perfectly good way
ef making squaBh pie out of lemon pie,
but prefers the latter kind, says the
Indianapolis Star. He had been to a
ale In Utlca township, not to buy, but
attracted by the fame of the cooks
who were to serve pie. He surrounded
one lemon pie and asked to have
another packed to take home?for his
vrlfe. he said. The women packed It
between two paper dishes, the npper
?ae Inverted, and then wrapped it In
newspaper. He placed It on the back
eat of his automobile and started for
home. Unfortunately he gave a friend I
the package for a cushion. When the
package was turned over to the lady
of the house and was opened by ber
It consisted of sn upper paper dish, sn
pper pie crust, a lower pie crust and
lower paper dish; that was all. It
was a clear case of "sqnash," and set
a sign of lemon filling left.

Horse Once Reverenced.
The sacrifice of horses character- i
ized the Scandinavian and Teutonic . t
cnlts. whilst Tacitus tells us that the f
Germans sought omens and monitions .
from white horses kept at the pnbllc
expense In sacred woods and groves, .
pure from the taint of earthly labor, .
but that on solemn occasions these
were yoked to the sacred chariot and
were accompanied by the king or .
chief of the tribe and the priest, who .
noted their nelghlngs and snortlnga,
and that no species of divination was
more trusted, not only by the people j
and the nobles, bnt by the priests ^
who regarded themselves as the mln
isters of the gods and the horses as
acquainted with their will. It has
been commonly believed, though on
insufficient evidence, that the Saxon
invaders of Britain bore banners blaz- 1
oned with a white horse. j

Soul Development.
There can be no permanent success '
in the world of art without a deep soul j
development. One goes to a concert
not so much to he thrilled or startled
but to be soothed. An artist may strike
a phenomenal or unusual note which
may give a momentary thrill, but
which when heard once or twice no f
longer Interests, If that Is all the artist 1
has to contribute to his art Where, ; (
however, there is spiritual and ethical J 1
development behind that singing, the j '
art carries a new message. If a sing- j
er?any man for that matter?is kind- j (
ly, thoughtful and unselfish It shows i
in his life and actions, and to an un- j
thought of degree in the quality of his j
voice, and consciously or unconsciously l 1

Unfortunate Sermon*.
prison chaplain, new to his duties
congratulated his audience In the
prison chapel upon the lirgeness of
the congregation. Still another prison
chaplain, known for his bluntneas of
speech, began his address?it was care- {

state?by apologizing for his absence <
the Sunday previously, stating, "I was i

congregation a few weeks ago. but now i
has passed away, via the chair, to the y

From very ancient times saperati-1

vhen the <ows all lie down in the (

The Dusk and Stars.
The rain had ceased falling softly j I

lows through the deeps of air. The .

noon leads a tide of quiet light over (

sometimes feel lazy? Yet he says that
