NO. 41 Measure Your "Me" The St. Johns Loiterer put on his hat this uftcrnoon and started up town. At the first corner he stumbled over n small boy crying stormily in the precise center of the walk. Sympathy brought out n gulpy recital of the youngster's woes. He had eaten but two of his five sticks of candy when his mother captured the sack and said "no more" or he would be sick nnd couldn't go to the park with her that afternoon. And he wanted his candy, it wouldn't make him sick, and he didn't care if it did. It, was his nnd he wanted it. The Loiterer walked on, his lol te'ring gait enabling him to over hear fragments of the conversation of two women neighboring over the next back fence: "Too stingy to buy his wife washing machine." "Won t get screens to keep out the flics." "Says music lessons nre non sense." "Never thinks about anybody but himself and then wonders why his home is the most unpleasant place in town, and his children run the streets." "Funny, isn't it, that n man can't sec that n little money seut making Ills family happy is going to pay him buck too per cent." The Loiterer was presently hailed from u side street by 11 friend who was so bubbling over with righteous wrath that he must needs find n confidante or unburden his mind to the telephone poles. "Now, wouldn't that make you weary!" he fumed. "You know that fellow that lives ncross from me? Know what he's doing now? Trying to block the improvement of the whole .street because he has n little private walk across a vacant lot to the street be hind I No sense of neighborhood loyally.

The Loiterer strolled up Jersey street, pausing to chat with tour different men, each of whom gave it as his firm conviction that the best of alt locations lor the new at. Johns public library was us n sort of annex to his own partial Inr neighborhood. He Mopped in a drygoods store and found the proprietor and n ens tomer holding tin indignation meet iug over the luck of town spirit shown by St. Johns women who patronize the Portland department stores. He halted iu the shade of un nwu iug to exchange political views with an old soldier, who declared with n thump of his cane that In never would vote for a certain pres Identliu candidate, for the reason that said candidate had once spok en unfavorably of high pensions. lie dropped into a real-estate office where held forth a group of town oracles, one of whom was declaiming thus: "Its all very nice to have a fel low down there at Washington who spends his time looking up new postoffices and juicy political plums for the folks at home, but witli 400 odd fellows down there all doing the same thing for their owu folks at home, you tell me what our gov ernment s going to amount to. Con gress wasn't designed for a grab' bag. I tell you we want a repre seutative big enough to stand square on questions that concern the whole couutry, and If the country s an right, we'll be all right. That's the kind of representative we could be proud of." The Ioiterer loitered home agaiu. picked up the evening paper from the door step, seated himself on said doorstep and looked over the news. He read an editorial on the shortsightedness of the United States in discriminating against oth er nations at the Panama canal, and auother on the sinfulness of the present generation's so wasdng the natural resources as to beggar .the generations to come. Then he laid aside his paper and his hat and meditated after this fashion: It looks like, after all, it wasn't so much a question of selfishness as of size. We are alt selfish- at least so many of us as are red blooded. The more keenly alive a man is the surer he is to be coveting for himself life more abundant. He wants great good for himself uot only great good but the greatest good. We are all working for ME, but. the difference comes in in the size of the "me" we are workiug on Now and then we see a man whose Me is only so big as bis ap petites. These must be satisfied, no matter at the sacrifice of what higher . satisfactions. Like the small boy, he can never bring him self to give up three out of five sticks of candy iu order that he may enjoy wider pleasures later iu his day. He thinks it won't make him sick, and he doesn't care if it does, because the only MK he can imagine is in the npietiti: of of the moment. Most men hce themselves bigger nnd realize that they cannot afford to pain per a little part of them at the ex pen.se of the whole. Therefoie, they curb the apatites, and, hold iug the good of years iu mind, con trol the ctty desires of the mo incut. Thus they attain to such advantages us health and business prosperity and jxilitleiil power with these dimensions some men nre satished and have no wish to grow more. Hut uot all, for by the magL' of love and friendship, others have discovered themselves bigger than they knew. They find they can 110 longer measure their lives bv their own H.TM)imllly. Suddenly the joys nnd sorrows of other icr soimlities cut them keenly ns their own, and aguin they see it necessary lor their highest happiness that thev subordinate a part to the whole. The man who sacrifices some part of his per so 11 ul welfare for the welfare of his family, does so, uot because he has grown eaieless of the happi uess of himself, but because that self has grown so as to include and demand the happiness of others he no longer lives narrowly iu one personality, but richly in many. Here agnin some men stop grow iug. Hence the whimsical old sto ry of "Me and my wife, my son, John, nnd his wile, us tour and no more. nut not an stop, some men we find so big as their neighborhood, some so big as their lodge, as their set, their profession, their church, their town, their state, theiryes some few, we have faith to believe, still some few so big as their coup try. And yet morel Now and then we hear rumors of a measure of man so great that we can yet scarcely comprehend it, of an indi viduality which sees itself ideuti cai with the lite ot the race, even with humanity, not of today alone, but of alt ages. It isn't martyrs we ueed. No body wants a martyr around. They are uncomfortable sort of people to ive with and few covet the distinc tion of being died for. We ueed big men wtio know their owu bigness, and, seeing the folly of sacrificing the whole to the part, will work for the bigger setf with all the vim of selfishness. Let's get a tape Hue and measure our MH. Is it so big ouly as the girth of the body? Does it extend only to the frout gate, or to the office, or to the town limits? How much further? Don't be afraid of the tape tine's giviug out. The neighbors will be glad to lend theirs. Ouly let us remember this; if we measure no larger this week than we did last, we have the whole universe against us and can't last ong, for the law of that universe s growth or death.
