"John couldn't help beliif- a door-knob-be
whs born that way. He never Bnw hU
father spend im evening talking to bin
mother In his life, nnd ho never thought
of trying to do such a thing.
He's u decent man enough, nroabblv
Where did ho cotno from? The country.
I'll be bound.
I've known them by the scoro In tho
country. Just such men as that; they
board nnd sleep at home and llvo at tho
villaRo store. They marry a woman for
n housekeeper nnd a homo maker, not
for a companion and you could weep
yourself blind and you'd never make him
oven understand what Is the world you
Were trying to ay.
I know a woman who felt as you do
and who had a flno lesson from a nlcn
little comfy brown hen. The woman told
me about It. Thin is what she said:
"I used to cry and cry when John went
downtown night after night and left me
sole atone, without a word of goodby. I
pretty nearly fretted myself to death
over It.
" 'He doesn't love me. I kept thinking.
'Ho wishes he'd married somebody else,
and he can't stand It to stny where I am
for fear he'll say It.' '
"I cried, nnd I scolded, nnd I fretted,
and I sulked, and John went right along
as if I wns Just a hen or something cack
ling in the barnyard.
"Ono day I heart! a great commotion In
the real barnyard and went out." Tho
little brown hen had hatched a brood of
fine chicks a few days before, and now
she was mad because the doorknob somo
one had put In her nest for fun hadn't
hatched out.
"She was nctually In hysterics about It
She squawked and cackled, and flew
back and forth; and pecked tho door
knob, and all the other hens stood around
and said. 'Poor thing, ain't It awful.
or 'She'd, ought to be ducked.' whlch.-ver
way they felt about It.
Of course, If he'd been more company
to me we'd have been closer to each
other, maybe, and all that, but that
wasn't his way, and I stopped trying to
make him over and we're all rljtht-no
more hen and the door-knob foolishness
for me."
Not such a very elecant simile. u It?
And yet' there's something In that atnrv.
I.'d think It over, "neglected wife." Ion't
niaKe a tragedy or yoUr affair: make a
comedy of It, with yourself In the leading
part.

The great matador. Knrlnues nigas,
has lost his goat. It was token from, or,
rather, butted out of him by a real goat
of flesh, horn and blood on the Spanish
liner Manuel Calve-
The Calve'a cargo, when the liner ar
rived In New York recently, was filled
with many goats from the slopes of the
foothills of the Pyrenees. They were
confined In big crates and one of them
broke loose.
The goats charged up and down the
decks, chasing passengers and crew.
Someone called the heroic Illgas.
"Ah," they said, "see the matador.
What Is a goat to him. the slayer of the
built"
Enrlques took a contemptuous attitude
before the goat and raised his hand to
command the attention of the onlookers.
The goat, a long whiskered buck, shot
between his legs, whirled aud with a
mighty butt struck the matador Just aft
of the after hatchway. Senor nigas was
knocked ten feet along the deck. New

Trust In thluo own untried capacity,
As thou wouldst trust In God himself. Thy soul

Thou dost not dream what forces He In thee,

Thy silent mind, o'er diamond caves may roll;
Go seek .them, and let Pilot W11 control v - - -Those
passions which thy favoring may be.
No man can place a limit on thy strength;

Why not thine own? Press on! Achieve! Achieve!

come old Ignorance and "the old ways
of reasoning all at once.
Hut shut your ears and your mind, and
ycur heart to all scoffing, to all doubt
ing arguments of other people, and keep
to the purpose of self-development.
Lean on no one but your divine self.
Pray to the Invisible guides to fortify
your strength and your patience. Ask
for wisdom and light and they shall be
given. But do not ask visible or Invisible,
mortal or Immortal, friends to do things"
for you. That would be shifting your
duties and weakening your own nature
Ask only for sympathy and encourage-
ment. If your mortal and visible friends
refuse It. never mind the Invisible hosts
give It In greater measiiro than you
dream. It is simply a matter of persist
ence and patience.
Ignore tho old Ideas that opportunity

art creating hourly a continuous pio

Even My Lady knows that she cannot have more

she likes her day dreams.
And then sho dreams of taking the, breakers as
