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

Beauty and
the Doctor
By Catherine Coop
(Copyright, 1911. by Associated literary
tress.)
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

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.
