“JTDfiF NOT”
Scientists say that no two thing* in
nature are alike no two grains of sand
out of the countless waste; no twa
leaves; no two person*.
One might he justified in going fur-
ther by declaring that a* no two per-
sons are the same physically so there
are no two alike mentally. This gives
rise to the thought that no two can
have exnctly the same conception of
things which may explain why we so
often misunderstand each other.
f
One could preach a sermon on the
subject of misunderstanding taking for
the text “Judge not lest ye be judged.”
The lecture in one degree of a well-
known fraternal secret society takes
that very quotation for a long dissert-
ation on the righteousness of withhold-
ing judgment. It is shown that nnc
cannot know the inner thoughts of an-
other the true motive that prompts a
certain action and >incc such is the

- “CO TO THE ANT'’
Very few of us can get mufh enihu-
* instil about an ant. He is a pest that
is the despair of the particular house-
wife and can be at times most de-
structive.
Some of us recall the old Biblical;
injunction “Co to the ant. thou slug-!
gard consider her ways and be wise”
from which we gather that the ant is
n very busy little piece of insect life
though Mark Twain thought he did
too much detouring to be a safe ex-
ample for an ambitious human.
But what we started out to say is 1
that out in California there is a young
man who has gone straight to the nht
and found him a wonderful creature
singly and collectively. This young
man has devised a lense arrangement
by whi li he is taking movies of ant
colonies and the resluts are quite il-
luminating. He has shown that they
«lo in fact live as groups or nations;
that these nations sometimes engage in
combat; that in their activities a sur-
prising amount of intelligence is re-
vealed. In a word he has shown that
ants colonize and coingi* tlieui-elve*
towards each other in much the same
w.ay that we hnmanr -1 . Th «*
queens and other leade i and a great
distaste for idleness so there is a great
lesson to be learned just a the Bibli-
cal writer said.
• All of this goes to show how Mind
we are to the things about us. Nature
is a revealer of wonders to the man
who Itps the inclination to study her
first hand. No matter how deeply he
penetrates even into the rocks there
is some sign of life of consciousness
—evidence of an orderliness of a mas-
ter hand behind it all. Wo speak of
“dead matter" as though there could
be dead matter where atoms are gath-
ered together. Yes the whole universe
is pulsating with life and intelligence
from the rock on up through the ant
to man.
case one certainly should hesitate to
pass judgment.
A brother falls ana we conuem... ..
knows but that if we were tempted in
the same wpy we would fall farther.
•‘To err is human” and because we do
err we should have all the charity in
the world for another. We must of
course place the criminal under re-
straint. The best interest of the ma-
jority must ever be protected. But w<
can temper our justice with tr<n\ .ml
while we are punishing seek to lift up.
It is because we do not understand
and do not try to understand that
there are hates and wars and bloodshed.
And it follows that T we did umh r
.land or had the will to understand we
would have no hates no wars and no
bloodshed.
We note that John Doe has gotten

Scientist claims Lake Krie is drying

We had rather be a river than a

Rivers travel in a rut but they go
fu’ther than lakes and the same is
true of many people.

I will wrtie a few lines
' Neither poetry nor prose
It is about a milliner.
And here it Roes:
She keeps a hat shop
Down on the "White Way”
Where she tries to sell hats
Most every day.
She Roec to the city.
Her shopping to do—
To buy all the hats
That are nifty and new.
She buy bats of all sr.es
And colors ns well—
dome of them shoddy -
Some of them swell.
Her clerks are all ladies.
Courteous and sweet.
They try to be amiable
To the patrons they meet.
She sells ladies dn.ks
She sells ladies fair —
I..“.dies wish lonjr hair
Ilut more with bobbed hair.
There are polite ones and
Crouches and all k.nds of
dames
I’ntil you think sometimes
They will drive you insane.
In comes a lady slender or fat.
Who is looking just looking.
To find a swell hat.
Flie don't want a black one.
She don't want a white.
She don’t want a blue one
Uut it must be just right;
The 1*ritn is too narrow
1 he br m is too wide.
The crown is too shallow
Or too high on liic side.
She looks at the front.
She looks at the back
Then she turns up her nose
And says it's too flat.
She looks at your face
With a look of contempt
And knows it would look better
Just a little bit bent.
She then arises.
With a haughty bow
And says: “I’m only looking
For a hat just now *
1 have an old one
I'll bring it in.
Anti see bow well
1 can have It trimmed.
And now the moral of this little verse: Don't buy just any hat that's
made on the earth. Mrs. t.imhle you will find lias just the hat that
will make you look super-fine.
