YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
You. at some tjme or other in your life have sat late at night
on a veranda with a group of friends... Conversation drifted into an
exchange of philosophical views why we are here on earth why
o many fail and. what constituted success.
Out of such' discussions like a mocking jinni rises a glaring
" truth that every . individual develops a personal philosophy of
life to fit Jhis degree of success or failure. : .
Aesop's ! fox who could not . leap high enough to pluck the
grapes comforted himself with The grapes are sour. .
The man who has accumulated so much money that it makes
him uneasy has for his alibi : "It doesnt matter how much wealth
a inan has as long as he doesnt misuse it.
Mrs. Wiggs of the cabbage patch in dire poverty hypnotized
herself into a philosophy that shelwas happier without riches.
Socrates and his soap-box orators not having much material
wealth) philosophized that nothing matters except pure intellect.
m . The prize in this line goesto the. celebrated Athenian philoso-
pher-loafer who when a king heard -of his wisdom and promised
j . him any gift lie- wanted answered Then step to one side. Yon
are obstructing my sunlight. .
.One of the finest temperance lectures of all time was deliv-
ered in Kansas by a speaker who was so drunk he almost had to
be propped up. . -
Actually he did . not believe .in - temperance otherwise he
wouldnt have keit the distilleries working overtime.
But realizing that he was not of normal temperance he orated
his dont-drink" philosophy 1 as an alibi for his failure' and
hypnotised himself into believing that he really believed it. ' ;
. Similarly you are apt to hear a great speech on honesty by a
tf man who wouldnt hesitate at robbing an -orphan asylum. .
gl This development of elastic .philosophies to fit personal failure.
A ia a dangerous form of alibi.

EMERSON ON READING.
Of course there is a jxirtion of reading quite indispensable to
a wise man Ralph Walso Emerson greatest American philoso-
pher said. ' ' ' " x '
For .what purpose do persons read? Some for one purpose;
some for . another ; and some for no purpose at . all seemingly.
The business man may read only to learn more about his business ;
the financier may read only that he may be better informed about
the money' markets of his country and the world; the artisan may
read only. to improve himself in his art or handicraft; Then the
housewife may read little less than home economics; the society
? woman may read little more than the reports of the doings of her
v own social:. set and the accounts about prevailing fashions; the
jjr sport devotee mayi'Tead nothing but the sport pages in his daily
paper and - the . farmer may . read naught but his agricultural
journal.' 1
si But to consider the readers of books and magazines for what
$ purpose do fheyead? Some persons dn.not read at all. God pit
em I Some persons read simply to pass the .time. God forgive en I
r Some persons read only for idle amusement. God help em) But
J there are persons their number might well be greater who read
a for pleasure and profit both; for mental improvement and moral
pft
Pi.
betterment; God reward em I
: . These last belong to the class Emerson had in mind. '

AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL.
Mile. Lenglens decision to look for new worlds to conquer by
S becomingviprofessional surprised no one but it caused many to
speculate as to where she will find worthy opponents foy her
U racket. In the amateur field none have vanquished her and in. the
United- State at least the women tennis stars are all amateurs.
2 Itias been suggested that she could be matched on an American
m tons with inert players but as clever as the French tennis marvel
2 is - she is no match for ranking; men players.
Hasn't Mite. Lenglen been professional in fact if not in
name? She hamade her living and a rich one at her sport not
M by playing for.-money 'to be sure but by capitalizing upon her
Q prowftM and titjt through writing the movien and drawing crowd?
