SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
-
By F. A. WALKER
SHADOWS
"The great problem of the family,"
says Observing Olivia. "U how to per
mit the children to express their per
sonalities without suppressing those
f their mammae and papa."
A FEW duy ago a woman burdened
by what seemed to her an un
avoidable affliction came Into my office
and said: "I urn in the shadow of a
great sorrow. What shall I do?"
Years ago I heard the sume ques
tion asked and I seized upon the an
swer of that fur away time and said :
"Turn to the light."
It Is Impossible to cast a shadow
without a light.
And the one way to eliminate all
Impression of shadow Is to fuce the
light. Once you do that the shadow
disappears from view.
Do you know that a shadow Is the
only thing you can see, that has abso
lutely no thickness?
Breadth und length It has according
to the object, but there Is no third
dimension. It has no edge and a mil
lion of them piled one upon another
would be as thin as one by Itself.
Hut Impalpable and Insubstantial as
It is, all creation Is Impressed by a
shadow. The dog barks at it. The
horse shies at It. And man, superior
ns he conceives himself to be, con
tributes his share of the unlversul
nlurm.
It is feur that cripples the most of
us In life's race. Not feur of realities
nor of things present, but the feur of
anticipated evils, the shudows of
things expected.
Much more wonderful in the experi
ence of IUuiiel is the fact that he did
not feur the lions either before lie en
tered their den or afterward thnu the
fact that they did not bite him.
The things we fear assume a greater
horror than Is their own in reality.
Job, who was about equally ullllcted
with fear and bolls, said : "The thing
which 1 greatly feared Is come upon
me, and that which I was afraid of is
come unto me." Perhaps if he had
not so "greatly feared" them they
would not huve become so seemingly
actual.
Frequently the shadows of what
seem Impending evils are enormously
larger than the evils themselves.
The most of our worries ure about
things that never happen.
The most of our anxieties are bused
on apprehension nnd not on facts.
About the only thing we never ex
pect is the multiplication table.
One of the greatest blessings of life,
however, is that remedies are a good
deal simpler than disease. And If we
apply the right remedies the diseases
usually yield.
Don't mistake unreality for sub
stance. Don't tremble about some
thing you only fear may happen.
The wisest command ever given to
a body of lighting meu was given at
Hunker Hill: "Wait until ye see the
whites of their eyes." Walt until you
know there Is danger before you
fear It.
And specially dou't be afraid of
shadows. Turn around. Face the
light. FACE THE LIGHT.

"For some seusons previous I' bad

BILLY AT THE CIRCUS
A LITTLE boy named Billy was in
the tent next to the big tent
He was looking at some of the ani
mals there and also there were some
of the Living Wonders sitting upon a
platform.
The giraffes were bowing their
heads, and making beautiful, low, cor
dial bows and greeting the crowds
coming to the circus.
Billy was quite sure they bowed to
him several times so as to make sure
that he saw them.
And he bowed back, very politely.
The giraffes looked over the other
cages and down over the people. Oh,
THE YOUNG LADY
ACROSS THE WAY
ILL?
They Took the Popcorn In Their
Hands With Delight.
how tall they seemed, and Billy felt
very small as he looked up at them.
After he had looked at them for
awhile he went and talked to the
monkeys and they answered him In
their squealing little voices which
Billy liked very much.
They ate popcorn which he gave
them and they took it In their hands
with delight. Then even more de
lightedly they put it in their mouths
and chewed It and swallowed ltl
Next Billy went to see the white
tailed Gnu and his brother.
They had white tails and they both
looked cross and they shook their
heads as though to say:
"We're not bowing to you. Most
decidedly not. We're letting you
know that we don't care whether
you're here or not.
"We are from Africa, though now
we. travel around these parts."
Then the keeper who took care of
the!' white-tailed Gnu and his brother
told Billy that- they were so cross
they didn't even want to have' their
cages cleaned. !',.;' s '
He said they ate grain ilknilJbread
and hay and molasses, andso Billy
knew that even though tbey did not
act very pleasantly at least they liked
some sweetness in their lives, and
bad,; at least, what was known as a
"sweet tooth."
Asj.be was looking about, the tallest
man' who was sitting upon the plat
form by the tallest lady began to
speak. ,
The tallest lady had been selling
pictures of herself and of the . tallest
man. '.
She had been saying:
"Now friends, don't you want a
souvenir picture of the tallest man In
the world? It costs but little and all
youri life you can show your friends
the picture of the tallest man whom
you have seen with your own eyes.
"Come, friends, who'll be the first
to take advantage of this great and
wonderful offer?
"Also I offer my own photograph
for sale. I have signed It as well.
Signed, you see, by the tallest lady
in the world."
That was the way she had been
talking and sometimes the smallest
lady who was sitting nearby had
smiled and nodded her head as much
as to say:
"My time will come later."
She had smiled at Billy, too, and
Billy had felt that was a great honor.
But now the tallest man was speak
ing. "The big show Is to begin In ten
minutes, folks! Get into your seats
for the big show. This department
will be open after the big show Is
over.
"The parade will start now In ex
actly nine minutes."
Billy thought he spoke as though
he considered himself and the tallest
lady and the others dress goods or
notions or candy when he spoke of
them as "this department," but every
one took the advice of the tallest man
and started for the big tent
And now everyone around, ticket
man, program man, peanut man,
everyone, began shouting:
"The big show is about to begin.
Hurry, folks, for the big show."
And when the excitement of wait
ing Just seemed almost too much to
stand the band burst into music, the
parade began. The big show was
starting.

that she wonders how the factories
can keep up with their orders.
(A hr MoClar NtwmptjMt Brail
THIS one, I think, Is old enough to
be entitled to a revival In its sec
ond childhood. As the story runs, a
venerable mountaineer residing near
the boundary between two Southern
states sot one bright afternoon on the
stile In front of his cabin busily en
gaged In following his regular occupa
tion of doing nothing at all. At the
edge of the clearing, fifty yards away,
suddenly appeared an Individual In
flannel Bhtrt and laced boots who
aimed at the old gentleman a round
barreled Instrument mounted on a tri
pod, which the native naturally mis
took for a new kind of repeating rifle.
Up went both his hands.
"Don't shoot I" he shouted. "I sur
render." Tm not fixing to shoot," said the
stranger, drawing nearer, "I belong to
an engineering crew. We're surveying
the state line."
"Shukklns, son," said the old man,
"you're away off your beat. The line
runs through the gap nearly half a
n.lle down the mounting below here."
"That's where It used to run," said
the engineer, "but It seems there was
a mistake In the original Job of run
ning the Itne. According to the new
survey It'll pass about fifty feet from
your house, on the upper side of the
hill." "
"Say, look a-here, boy," stated the
old man, "won't that throw me clear
over Into the next state?"
"Yep. that's what It'll do."
"Well, that wont never do," de
murred the mountaineer. "I was born
and raised here. Tve always voted
here. It looks to me like you fellows
ain't got no right to be movln me
plum out of one state Into another."
"Can't help It." said the surveyor.
"We have to go by the corrected line."
"Wall." said the old man resignedly,
"come to think It over, I don't know
but what It's a good thing, after all.
Ttb always heered tell that that was a
healthier state than this, anyhow."

CHRISTMAS BOXES
THE term "Christmas box" Is still
applied In this country to the fund
distributed among servants or other
employees especially those employed
in clubs where "tips" are forbidden.
Less frequently Is the term now used
for gifts sent to relatives and friends
and In England the term Is commonly
used to denote the money given to ap
prentices, servants, etc., on Christmas.
A Christmas "box" is, strictly speak
ing, not a Christmas gift, but a dis
tribution of money on Christmas Day
to Inferiors. Formerly this money was
collected and presented in a box
whence the name. Boxing day, the
day when these boxes are supposed to
be opened, is still an English holiday.
We use the term Christmas box rather
loosely In this country but we still use
It and the custom which It denotes is
one which antedates Christianity. ' It
hus been traced back to the Roman
festival of the Paganalla which was
instituted by Servlus Tullius some five
hundred and fifty years before the
Christian era and was celebrated at
the beginning of the year. At this
festival an altar was erected in every
village upon which the people de
posited money to be subsequently dis
tributed to the dependants of the
cultivators for Italy was then a farm
ing country almost entirely. Former
ly In England the Christmas boxes of
the apprentices were real boxes of a
peculiar shape made of clay.

"Huh," said the House Detective,

"Kelly," answered the girl Impres
sively, "I have never seen a woman's
heart, but I know It Is much like the
toy balloons they sell the kids on the
corner near the park.
"A balloon Is a mighty wrinkly,
flabby, unbeautlful thing until you
blow It up. With even a little wind a
balloon is round and pretty. With
some more of the same It gets rounder
and prettier. There Is almost no limit
to the amount of air it will take and
it grows sleeker and rounder and tha
colors more beautiful as it gets full.
"That's the way with a woman's
heart, Kelly. It begins to develoo
with her first lover nnd each succeed
ing lover only rounds It out and makes
It more beautiful and Its owner along
with It. Like the toy balloon there Is
almost no limit to the amount of lova
a woman's heart con take.
"You know Kelly, there Is only one
place through which they can put any
thing Into those little balloons. A wom
an's heart Is like that. Kelly. What
gets Into her heart must be put Into
her ear. Beauty In men, money in
their pockets, motor cars under their
feet are attractive to a woman, but
the man with the line of chatter is
the chap who walks away with the
balloon bobbing on the end of his
string.
"There is nothing like hot air to
fill a balloon and make It soar. There

slonment, something which, though it
may have had an attractive exterior,
turns out to be rotten Inside.
On the face of it, of course, "dead
sea fruit" would seem to be a para
doxical term. The Dead sea, which
Is Involved In the reference, Is a lake
in Palestine which forms part of one
of the deepest chasms of the earth's
surface, being 1,292 feet below the
level of the sea. Its shores are abrupt
and precipitous, the formation being
limestone and sandstone.
There is no life In the Dead sea and
sea fish die when placed in Its waters.
Its desolation and sterility are tradl
tlonal. Hence the expression, "dead
sea fruit," for something which yields
nothing would In Itself be easily com
prehensible. However, we have a still
more definite and direct source for tha
origin of the expression. It Is found
In the "mad apple" of antiquity that
was supposed to grow around the LVad
seas. It was described in ancient lit
erature as beautiful to the eye but
