thing to be grateful for, that tbere Is

President Kllot has been telling the

fond devotion to the three "It's" to bor
der decidedly on the radical. Yet teach
ers of manual training relate curious
and Interesting experiences. They give
as a common occurrence the stupid pu

studies the moment he llnds that he
can use bis hands as well as other
children who appear to be smarter

BUSY MEN SHORT OF FRESH AIR.
Indoor 'Workers Find It Difficult to
Renew Store of Oxygen.
Men of affairs In New York find It
as difficult to get fresh air as exercise.
Some of them find time for an hour
with an athletic trainer, but are too
occupied to devote another hour to
taking the air; that Is a. long process
nowadays In this city. It perversely
happens that the men who are ab
sorbed by the large matters of llfo
here are those who are most strenu
ously urged by the physicians to take
the air, says the New York Sun. Cer
tain maladies to which they are espe
cially subject are best treated by peri
ods of time passed out of doors. Gout,
for Instance, yields more promptly to
such a course than to any other, nut
It happens to be Just the thing that
most busy men aro unable to do.
One or two of the athletic trainers
whose services are so much In de
mand at high prices have all their cli
ents work In what Is practlcaly the
open, as the windows are unclosed nnd
the patients protected from the cold
by heavy clothing. Hut more usual Is
the prescription of a doctor who has
numbered many well-known men
among bis patients. He told them to
ride alwnys with tho windows of their
cabs open, whatever the weather
might be. Hy that means tho Journey
to and from their offices could always
be made a method of taking the air.
And most of those who tried the pre
scription were so convinced of Its
value that they Btuck to It. William
C. Whitney attributes bis general
good health for years to his devotion
to this 'habit, and be has cot been seen
In a long time riding In a carriage
with the windows closed, no matter
how cold the weather.

Learn to Forget Injures.
OMR people nre so Intent on revenging their Injuries
that they never have time to accomplish anything
worth wlille for themselves, Front a purely selfish
and practical standpoint, not to consider the moral
aspect of the matter, revenge Is not worth the troublo
thnt It takes to accomplish. A man had better employ
blmsebT In honest, productive labor which will bring him
some valuable returns Instead of giving himself up to, .potty
schemes for "getting even" on bis enemies: ' Every man
would do well to wipe out all those old scores of enmity
which he had. Intended to pay back by evil retaliation, and

Ilclously evil, nnd when one does another nn Injury there
Is usually some misunderstanding at the bottom of It How
often It happens that mutually hostile men, having' been
thrown together by chance and become mutually acquaint
ed, conceive a warm friendship for each other?
This Is a busy world and life Is too sliort to remember
grievances a long while or to take trouble for tho sake of
obtaining revenge. A man must learn to forget Injuries
as well as to remember favors, else he will go backward
