There are people who think they are pious when, they are only bilious. The last thing we should try to do in this world is to force our . religious opinions and prejudice's on others. Some people say they do not believe in God even. I do not helieve them. No ,one can sin- cerely say that. You ask me to give an inter - 'view saying what I would say to the readers of 3,000 newspapers. I would say-toAtem--to-be-very- reful about- believing - all - they - see in the newspapers. I know of no place where there Is more philosophy than in a barnYard. You can learn much from animals. Within their cir- cle they know much more than we do. He who cares to do no more than he is paid for . will never be paid for more than he does. Public clamor is almost always in the wrong. It is so loud that we think it includes everybody, whereas, in fact, It may include very few. One stridulous grass- hopper in the angle of a fence makes more noise than the whole noble herd of cattle gear J. Gaynor, 'Late Mayor of New York. TO THE VIRGINS. Gather ye rosebuds while may. Old time is still p -flying. And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun. The higher he' e a -getting The sooner will his race be run And nearer he's to setting. That age is best which is the When youth and blood arewarmer: But, being spent. the worse and worst Times still succeed the former. Then he not coy, but use your time And while ye may go marry. prime You way forever tarry. -Robert Herrick. ye IND. Phone 7287 Bell Phone 760-L TOUT & McCARTHY, Successors to The Rombauer Assay Co.
