MAUPIN-SHOOP PRINTERY Publishers of Will Maupins Weekly 1705 "0" STREET AUTO 2748 NOT HERE TO BE MISERABLE Ws All Havs Our Troubles but Should Learn to Keep Them In . Background. If there le anything that Is Irritat ing It Is the way that some people talk of their troubles, as If they were a kind of a treat not cheerfully, but with a kind of gloomy Joy; In a word, they are resigned.- It Is only mighty big humbugs that will say they are thankful for troubles. We may even tually live to see that they were right and best for us, bat at the time it is sheer hyprocrisy to waggle our heads solemnly and say: "Happiness is a snare, anyhow; It is foolish for any one to expect happiness in this gris tly old world." People who talk that way don't de serve happiness. We weren't put here to be miserable. The idea that life 1s for suffering and not enjoyment Is fast being shelved. If the Lord ap proved of lamentations and tears, he would not have put so much in the world to make us hopeful and happy. There la nothing more common than trouble. We all have our troubles, but it tc the wise ones of earth that keep their burdens in the background. It Is so common and cheap and selfish to be continually parading one's griefs and disappointments. Whatever our lot, we should all learn the wisdom of that helpful little prayer: "Help me to win, if win I may; but if I may not win, make me a good loser." Mary Eleanor O'Donnell In Chicago Trib une.

The young doctor drew in a great breath of country air. The garden at the rear of the old home in which he was to spend his vacation was a mass of scented flowers. Roses, zenias dahlias all clustered about like little joyous souls roving in the moonlight. A refreshing rain had cooled the air, and because the night was beau tiful,, and the doctor young, his thoughts turned toward the girl to whom his heart had lately responded Because his mind was in a chaotic condition regarding the depth of his feeling toward Rose Langdon, Dr. Emery had come to the solitude of the old manor house on Long Island. 's thoughts, for the moment bent cL.tliy on the beauty of the night. were easily interrupted. He paused and listened. In the walled garden next door a soft swishing sound made regular har mony to his ear. He drew nearer the wall and looked over through a clump of bushes. His eyes opened wide and he leaned cautiously away from the moon rays. Was she a wraith or a blood and bone girl who trailed back and forth over the rain-soaked grass? Dr. Emery, so completely startled out of his every-day; humdrum city life, could not definitely answer the question. He watched with fascinated attention. The girl's attire was white and clingy and traily, and as she moved across the long grass her bare feet peeped forth. Those little feet found a pool of water left by the recent rain, and a gleeful chuckle fell from the girl's lips. "Insane!" muttered the young doc tor. "By Jove! What a pity she is as beautiful as the lilies. "They toil not, neither do they spin," thought the doctor, and the pity dropped out of his thoughts, the girl seemed bo absolutely happy, so evidently joyous in this condition of the mind. After humming a few notes of lilting melody the girl tripped i TJmtfrA atir ws whit ' CT ana clingy jrmj raiy - quickly toward the house and disap peared. Dr. Emery frowned, partly because the garden seemed less beautiful and partly because he had been Inter rupted In his attempt to diagnose this peculiar form of brain malady. The puzzled frown remained as the doctor returned to the house. At an early hour of the morning there came to the doctor's ears that same tinkling laugh. He jumped hur riedly from his bed and looked out of the window. The sun was a great ball in the eastern sky, and It cast its dawning color over the girl In the next garden, "This Is assuredly a peculiar case," muttered the doctor, while he kept fascinated eyea upon the girl. She was In the front garden now and a blue kimono enveloped her; her head was bound closely in a turban effect of the same shade, and she ws trip ping quickly about among the great hydrangea bushes. From time to time she would select a blossom and hold it -in two caressing hands, then suddenly "bury her face in it soft depths. It was at such momenta that the little laugh rang out. The doctor watched her fuss over the tiny white petals that clung to her eyes and lips and nose. "She is just plum dippy!" ejaculated Dr. Emery, with a tinge of Irritation that she should be getting so much joy out of living. "I suppose if I dis covered a cure for her the would be as grumpy then as she is happy now. The girl then went -iwn into the back garden and selected an ear of corn from the stocks, which she ate, nibbling It with apparent relish. Then she sampled peas, carrots and beets. "Hud and all! Most extraordinary! For the first time In his career Dr. Emery regretted that he was not an insanity expert. "She seems to thrive on it never saw such a beauty in all my life," was the doctor's thought as he crept back into bed after the girl had returned to the house. He lay a long time wondering how he could ar range to talk to the girl without arous ing her suspicion. During the day he watched for vari &' WWl ous moods of the case. When the her glorious red-gold hair hanging, and proceeded to sway baclrv:,vd and for ward, swishing it to the wind In the air, after which she brushed it vigor ously. !"Now she thinks she is an Italian wood carrier." The doctor watched her put a book on the crown of her head and walk slowly around and around the house. "Ill bet there is a specialist in that house watching her every minute!" In the evening when the moon was high the girl came again into the back garden. Dr. Emery was well hidden behind a clump of bushes. "Great Scott! She has on her bath ing suit! And she is rolling in this soaking grass! Shell have something tomorrow that will need a doctor as sure as my name's Emery!" After rolling over and over in the wet grass and then lying full length on her back for a long moment, the girl pulled a bathing cap well over her head and turned on the hose. With laughter falling from , her lips she ran In and out, squealing with the cold and exhilaration of her hose bath. A door opened in his own house. "Oh, Dr. Emery! Here is a tele gram for you," the voice from the house called. . With a lingering look at the hose nymph Dr. Emery went for his tele gram. , He was summoned back to town. A patient needed him and Emery took the Jate train out that night. He went, determined to return as quickly as possible. Pity being akin to love, the young doctor felt the diagnosis of his own case was easily made. Weeks wore on and still Dr. Emery was harnessed to the grind in town. He felt, however, that since the snow was upon the ground the girl would not be permitted to carry on her in sane wanderings in the garden. Rose Langdon had drifted entirely out of his thoughts and only the girl of the garden lingered. It was at a big New Tear dinner. his first social moment of the past months, that Dr. Emery glanced up to meet his partner for dinner. The most radiantly beautiful girl he had ever looked upon had laid a hand on his arm and was walking be side him into the dining-room. "Then you are not insane! " he asked. The girl turned wide, violet eyes upon him. Then she laughed that same tinkling laugh that he had heard in the garden. "Not that I know of,- Dr. Emery,. Is there something In my appearance that suggests " "Nothing but beauty," the -doctor said, beause It had been in his heart so long. "But last summer " The girl turned quickly toward him and a bright blush crimsoned her cheeks. "Where were your she asked. "In the garden next door." Violet looked into Dr. Emery's eyes and seemed fascinated by the multi tude A questions she saw there. She laughed and tried to keep the color from her cheeks. "But why did you wiggle your toes about In the oozy mud and why did you lie down in soaking grass that might iave had copperheads and black beetles lb' It aid why did you' come out at dawn and bob into the hydrangeas?" The dotor's look was so serious with its mixture of adoration, that Violet laughed aloud. "Ton are forgetting the corn and carrots and peas?" she smiled and tried to recall just how far her experi ment had taken her. "Yon see. Dr. Emery you are not a beauty special ist, or you. would know there Is noth ing like early morning dew for the complexion. The hydrangeas gave me that. From the oozy mud, as you call It, and the grass, I was absorbing elec tricity and nerve force." The doctor was beginning to un derstand. "But the book on your head and the green vegetables that no doubt had lots of little green " "Violet stopped .both ears, and -turned slightly away. "I refuse to listen. Tou are trying to disparage my quest for beauty and I think it very com mendable.' "It might be In some cases," said the doctor, and when he smiled straight into her eyes Violet had the grace to blush. Vanishing Delicacy. The United States government will have the aid of the fishery experts of practically all the countries of northern Europe In tracking down the mackerel schools which used to fre quent American waters. In 1886, after several years of unusual friendliness, the mackerel seemed to take an aver sion to '.their-ancient habitat off. the New England coast, and the catch has been dwindling ever since. In 1885 600,000 barrels were salted for consumption in this country, leaving out of account the supply eaten fresh. In 1910 the entire catch was only 2,710 barrels. The mackerel is one of the best food fishes. The Spanish mackerel in particular ra a delectable morsel. and Its progressive disappearance from the market has been a calamity: As the cost of meat and game has risen the range of table delicacies has been sadly circumscribed, and the mackerel's perversity in taking to new cruising grounds has been all the more heartless and inopportune It is to be hoped that the Permanent In ternational Council for. the Explora tion of the Sea will hunt him down and instil into him- a new sense of duty to suffering humanity. .
