used with one-sided effect and al-
most always where a cocards is
used no other trimming is em-

cocsrdes may be made. ribbon no

There are flat feather cocardes

are cocardes from beads and

Or cut a branch that low had grown,
Pick up a bit of broken glass
That folks might step on as they
pass,
0r fill a hollow with some sand.
Or anything be found to hand.
Or make a. bridge a bit more strong
For other men who came along.
Then I was young. as young folks
are,
And often, with the journey far
0r ev'ning near. I used to say,
"Why stop and fool your time
away?"
Then he would smile and answer,
"Son,
“’hen I am through. my travel done,
I want to think I left. behind
An easier trail for men to find.
A stronger bridge. a smoother road
To hear some other fellow’s load.
That someone's path will better be,
When I am gone, because of mo.”
Then I was young. and now I’m old:
The tale of life is nearly told.
But I am glad he taught. me so
That lesson in the long ago.
For life's a. road. and I have tried
To take the time to turn aaida
To fix the way for other Iran
Who follow after: now, as then.
I like to think. as down the years
The final camping-place appears.

iication of an impulse is portions

It is by the mastery of our indi-
vidual impulses and wills that we
become safely and sanely self~re-
liant ourselves. It is only by
daily practice that the higher
social feelings are developed
which underlie a pure respect for
moral goodness. The respect of
moral law has its beginning some-
where in the experience of author-
ity. which ultimately comes to him
or her who under trying condi-
tions is capable of self-restraint
and self-reliance.
Those who can not restrain im-

come self-dependent. They lack
the intelligence to govern self and
others, and it through this com-

the years of life. dependent on
others for guidance and moral
support.
They borrow opinions from
