A GLIMPSE OF YOURSELF
Get It by Reading a Gossipy Letter
You Wrote Years Ago
There is nothing more interesting
than to come across unexpectedly an
intimate and gossipy letter that one
wrote oneself ten or fifteen years ao
In reading such a letter one Is looking
at oneself from the outside The proc
ess is a good deal like looking out of
the window and seeing oneself go past
In the crowd The strange part of the
matter Is that in reading such a docu
ment one is generally filled with a sort
of pity for the fellow who wrote it
He seems to have been rather uncer
tain of himself He groped for his
facts and his ideas Evidently he did
not know much He was merel y an
imperfect adumbration of the admira
ble person who Is now overlooking his
correspondence eh That is the first
impression But presently one feels
differently about it Those half baked
opinions may now have hardened into
dogmas We may now be cocksure
of what once we only surmised But
who is so hopelessly wrong as the
cocksure man If the person one
was fifteen years ago could contem
plate objectively the person one is
now perhaps he would pity the pur
blind dogmatist more than we pity the
groping experimentalist New York

SEE THE FUNNY SIDE
Use Your Sense of Humor When Dis
tressing Situations Arise
Humor proves to be the saving
clause of many a distressing situation
The trouble with most of us is that
we take our troubles altogether too
seriously We fail to see the funny
side of things that for the moment
concern us even though we are quick
to grasp it when we are mere on
lookers
In the face of gathered clouds that
seem to shut out the sunshine forever
it Is not a bad idea to remind ourselves
that this old mother earth has been
revolving on her axis for countless
ages that generations of men have
come and gone for thousands of years
and that the march of human progros
has gone risht along in the forward
direction despite what seemed to be
occasional setbacks
Laugh and the world laughs with
you There is humor in nearly every
situation if we can only see it from
the right angle Those of us who try
to smile in adversity and think how
much more laughable it would be if
conditions were reversed at least feel
less uncomfortable over it and take
pleasure in looking forward to the
time when the shoe will be on the
other foot Omaha Kee
The Road to Thrones
In the year 1710 a girl called Marie
dAbbadie was hired as a servant In
an Inn at Pierrefitte France She was
the daughter of peasants named Dom
inique Ilabas and Marie dAbbadie
A Bearnais from the village of Boeilh
whose name was lea i de Saint Jean
stayed in this inn saw the pretty
maid fell in love with her and on
May 30 1710 wedded her in the
church at Assat They had several
daughters the eldest of whom on
Fob 20 174 was married at Boeilh
to Ilenri Bernadotte physician son
of Jean Bernadotte master tailor
Tlieir son was Napoleons Marshal
Bernadotte who became king of Swe
den and whose great grandsons and
great granddaughter are respectively
King Gustave V of Sweden King
Haakon VII of Norway and the
Queen of Denmark
Bedlam
How many people use the expression
a regular bedlam without knowing
bedlams where or what Bedlam
was the popular corruption of Bethle
hem the name of an insane asylum in
London first established in 1523
Owing to the prevalent ignorance of
that age it was a place of chains and
manacles ptnd stocks and finally be
came so filthy and loathsome that no
man could enter it It was rebuilt
several times but even as late as 1812
the institution was marked by its
cruelty to inmates The poor lunatics
were chained and flogged at certain
stages of the moons age Treacher
ous floors were arranged that slipping
suddenly precipitated the unsuspect
ing ones into baths of surprise

ARMS OF THE MEDICI
ECIAL
The Gilded Globes That Mark the
Pawnbrokers Shop
Few persons seeing the signs of the
vast wealth of our avuncular relatives
in most tlnrotmljiros in London pause
to consider their origin Of course it is
the balK of gold t which we refer
Not onl may they be taken as in
dications of wealth but as a sign
that pledces are received But the
balls do not indicate what they really
are They are the arms of the Medici
family Whoever has visited Florence
will recall the three balls alternated
with the rod lilies But how comes it
that the deorations of the Tuscan pal
ace have found their way to London
and cKewhere
The explanation is not difficult if we
give the subject a moments thought
The first gold changers to settle in
London as in Paris were the Floren
tines or Lombards They chose Lom
bard street as the place where they
would carry on their business These
early settlers are perpetuated today by
the bankers In the early days the in
habitants counted amontr their number
some of the Medici family and to in
spire confidence they exhibited their
family arms to which they had a per
fect right The family of Medici is ex
tinct today but their arms survive
them the present users thinking the
respectability of the oricin too great to
be dispensed with London Globe
On Being Calm
One of the finest things within reach
of the average individual is calmness
It is also profitable
Calmness is the twin sister of com
fort The man or woman who has
formed the habit of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are un
comfortable
Nor is it hitch a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member of the family
For calmness is about ninety per
cent freedom from fear
As a rule the person who is not calm
is afraid of something or somebody
Afraid of self perhaps And that is
the most disconcerting sort of fear
The way to be calm is to be calm
When the winds of adversity or dis
appointment or discouragement are
seeking to ruffle your mental seas
keep remembering that there is no
such a thing as a comfortable passage
with the waves beating high So keep
calm Philadelphia North American
People Who Rarely Wink
There are people who rarely wink
How they manage to get along with
out doing so is a marvel but some
how or other they do Some eyes are
nattirally more moist than others and
the very moist eye does not so much
need the assistance of the lids to keep
the eyeball bright It is a constitu
tional matter for winking though
under the control of the wlfl is dojie so
quickly that it is practically an invol
untary action Men wink when they
feel that the eye is uncomfortably dry
and when it does not become dry the
necessity for winking is not felt
Earning a Spanking
A child whose mother had found it
necessary to rent dishes for a huge
family gathering was much impressed
by the occurrence which she did not
understand Some months later at a
more formal affair she electrified the
party by asking shrilly
Mother do you remember the time
when you got a whole lot of new
dishes and they came and took them
away from us next day Chicago
