(From the Shoe and Leather Journal). 1 GET AFTER THE HEART. The right name for indigestion is often selfishness. and meanness is friquently mis~called for biliousness. Physical ills are too often made the excuse for mental and moral “cussed- ness.” Get a good wholesome heart and you will have a healthier body. “A sound heart is the life of the flesh.” When the spirit is clean.. bright and sweet, the microbes of even physical disease take themselves off. Get at the root of the matter.j If you have a mean, nasty diSposi- tion get rid of it to the first vagrant at any old price. Save the money you are putting into liver tonics and stomach cures ; take plenty of exer- cise and above all try to be sweet. The efiect upon yourself and Others will be marvellous. In three months’ time you will be eating horsenails and wondering if you ever had a liv- er. Turn your therapeutical theories around and get after that mean heart of yours.

Give everybody the benefit of the' . doubt, and never express an opinion before you have heard all that is to be said on both sides. The injustice and cruelty caused by prejudgment will never be known until the Great Book is opened and the secrets of all hearts are made known.

Far fields look greenish toa fellow who never cultiVates the patch at his back door The men who have run to distant gold fields or prospect- ed far off canyons, would have beenl rich if they had put the same energyE and enterprise into something nearer home. There are cases, of course, where a change is a good thing, but ninety-nine out of a hundred of these fortune chasers are ne’erodo-wells who will make a success of nothing that requires consecrated efiort. .. The eyes of the fool are in the ends of the earth.” His wandering de- sires will never be satisfied. The man who settles down to the work that lies close to hand will accomplish more in ten years than the wanderer in filty. If he gets to the end of his tether in that time he will be better fitted tor the distant acres than by chasing them up empty handed. The wandering eye is a disease that baf- fles the oculist. No Nemesis was ever so swift or' sure of foot as evil. It tracks the evil doer to his farthest haunt. "Be sure your sin will find you out ” It may be years before the avenger lays his hand upon your shoulder. but the day will come when you will meet . the evil you have Wrought face to ‘ face. " Evil pursueth sinners.” Just pause and think that the thing which seems so pleasantly secret will some day be just as bitterly open. In a sense other than that of out- ward punishment the same truth ap- plies.
