The Beautiful Events of Your Past Life Can Be Reflected

is re-
That is a beautiful lino from a beau
tiful poem but It Isn't true?
A sorrow's crown of sorrow Is forgetting
happier things. ,
Truly crowned with sorrow is the per
son whose mind dwells on a disappoint
ment of today and cannot live on the
liapptnesea of days that are past.
Thousands of human beings, especially
women and girls, are made happy by
dreams thoughts and recollections of
past hours. And those thoughts make the
face and tho mind as welj beautiful.
It is commendable, my dear girls, to
cultivate Rood looks, but don't in your
zealous Interest In teeth, hair and skin,
forpet' the greater essential in becoming
good looking;,' and- that is the cultivation
jf ahappy, soul.
TheJyelash.ea:ftnd eyebrows, .may be
perfect, .and the, ' color of tha eyes be
beautiful, . but unless tlx light that
shines- through them Is clear and brave
and happy and honest ail the physical
perfection Is lost. . .
To begin with, cultivate a happy mem
ory. Cultivate the art of remembering
a pretty sunset, a pleasant .outing, a
friendly smile. If It rains to-day the
memory of a bright sunshhlne yeoterday
v 111 make it less gloomy, and its bright
ness may be extended to brighten up
tho clouds to-morrow.
Tennyson once said, "This the truth
lie poet sings, that a sorrow's crown of
orrows is remembering happier things."
It is daring to cay a poet must often
be wrong, but It will Interest you to
personally prove that ha Is. If In your
sorrow you can recall a day when you
were happy, and smile jit the. memory,
you are wiser that a great poet, and
that wisdom will keep your eyea bright,
prevent the corners of your mouth from
turning down and make- you better
looking.
Oet Into the habit of storing bright,
happy things in your memory box. Make
It a charm string of bright beads; don't
make it resemble a string of old, useless
pants buttons, of which the world al
vays holds a useless surplus. ,
When on your way downtown in the
nornlng think of the most pleasant
things that happened yesterday. Don't
engrave on your face the story of Its
disappointments.
This may seem difficult at flrRt, but
practise makes It easier. Particularly do
I entreat those dear girls to smile for
whom the little pink sphere of romance
has burst.
If a man has proved a recreant lQver,
nothing makes him so ashamed, nothing
does so much to' convince him of his
utter unworthlnese, and nothing so de
termines him to ask for a chance to try
again, as a brave, happy smile on the
face of the girl he Ill-treated.
Tears can't be cashed In commercial
life nor In the realm of romance. The
lover who Is wept back never stay
longer than It takes him to break loose
from his moorings and float off.
The girl who wins is the girl who
smiles, and the best way to get the habit
of smiling Is to cultivate a memory of
happier days. Don't enjoy a pleasure
once, and then forget It. Put Is away In
that memory box, and get It out In dull
ana stormy w earner, ana enjoy it over
again.
"For he lives twice who can at once
employ the present well and e'en the
past enjoy."

A Lesson from History II
It is a relief to hear a story with a
moral that even the humblest Intellect
may grasp without difficulty. Prof. John
Spencer Has sett, author of "A Life of
Andrew Jackson," Is accustomed to Illus
trate his lecture at Kmlth college with
Incidents In American history. On one
occasion he repeated a story of Stephen
A. Douglas.
Once when Douglas so Prof. Bassett's
narrative runs was sitting sound asleep
In the corridor of the capltol Miss Adcle
Curtis, a Washington belle, passed by.
Bhe was struck with tna intellectual
face of the sleeper, whom she did not
know, and was sorry for his discomfort.
gtobplng, she laid her handkerchief over
his face to protect it from the files. On
awakening Douglas found the handker
chief, sour,'it the owner and eventually
married her.
. There was a pause, and then the pro
fessor added:
"Young ladles, the moral of this story
Is, have your pocket handkerchief
marked." New York Bun.

Ballad of Hard Luck
By DAMON RUXYAN.
I'm settin' behind four acea, an' 1 opened, under tbe gun;
Eleven bucks an' a half In pot, w'ich I thinks Is as good as won,
A a' I'm U ream In' of Blrloln an' taters, wit' a scuttle to come along
When I hears a crash on the skylight;
A turrlble smash on tho sklylight;
A turrlble smash on the skylight;
So I figgers that Eomethin's wrong!
l m holdln' a ticket on Rose Leaf, at a price o' fifty to one;
An' Hose Leaf leads to the wire, so tbe race is as good as done;
An I dreamln' o' llftiu' a mortgage, an' my voice breaks out in song-
Whcn I see her fall near the wire;
A yard or two from the wire;
An' the favorite busts past the wire
So I figgers that soraethin's wrong!
I'm always grabbed near the finish, when my dreams are a rosy hue
(Always up at the finish, Jnst when the pay-off's due!)
j When I'm reachin' to take the money, an' feelln' so very strong
I hears a thump at my nprtal;
A turrlble clump at my portal;
An' the landlord bawls through my portal
So I flggera that eomethin's wrong!

It Is foolish because under It relations
of employer and employs are constantly
embittered, when under a different ays

harmony In an effort to keep down acci

expended by wugo earners on their side,
In the expense tho syateni entails on them.
It Is Ineffective because It fails lament
ably to remedy a serious social problem.
More than half the accidents are not

threo-fourths are not due to negligence
of the employer. Not more than ono
fouitli of thono Injured have any legal
claim to damages. The returns from em

that reason It was by no means a model

field. I-ast March our court of appeals

A Mohammedan View
By CHKHTKK F1UK1NH.
'Twas on the Day of Christ the Cossacks came.
It was a time of peace none knew of war.
Men tell me that the Cossacks hall their czar
"Viceroy of Christ," and that their Christ they name
"The Trince of Peace." We do not understand
Tbe "peace" of mouarchs in our sister land.
A merchaut whom I met in Ispahan
An Irishman, kindly, yet full of pride
Told me that, yearly, at the Chrlstmastide
The western people paused; no caravan
Set forth; the blessed day, he said, was given
To peace and charity by will of heaven.
What is this word tailed "peace?" I think 'tis "death,"
For death is peaceful by Mohammed's law.'
But I, who, 'mid the crash of powder, saw
Uabea on dead mothers' breasts, that gasped for breath.
And. walling, waited for the Consack sword,
I ask: Why is a czar Christ's underlord?
It cannot be; for those of other lands
Are not as Cossacks, are. There is a man
Who holds the people's love in Teheran;
And he no Persian, but, one understands.
Was sent to us from far America,
Where every man Is equal of his shah.
He Is a man both generous and brave,
Who has enriched us and would aid us mora
A Christian whom Mohammedans adore.
Who has defied the Briton and the Slav.
Allah protect him! He would not abide
This, Herod butchery of ChristmasUde!
