L.ira'3 Journey.
As we speed out ot youth's sunny station
The track seems to shine In tho light,
'But It suddenly, shoots over chasms
Or sinks Into tunnels of night.
And tho hearts that were bravo In the
morning
Are. filled with repining nnd fear.1?
As they pause at the City of Borrow
Or pass through the Valley ot Tears.
But the road of this perilous journey
Tho hand of the Master has made:
With all Its discomforts and dangers,
Wo need not bo sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into darkness,
Ways plunging from gloom to despair.
Wind out through the tunnels of mid
night
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows
. surround us,
Though we catch not one gleam ot the
day, Abqve us fair cities are laughing.
And dipping white feet In some bay.
And always, eternal, forever.
Down over the hills In the West,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great City of Rest.
TIs the Grand Central point of all rail
ways, All roads unite hero when they end;
Tls the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile. books, all passes.
If stolen or begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division.
Will bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City of Trouble,
Or wait In the Valley ot Tears,
Be patient, the train will mqve onward
And rush down the track of the years.
Whatever tho place Is you seek for.
Whatever your game or your quest,
You shall come at the lost with rejoicing
To the beautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage ot wor
ries, You shall feel perfect peace In this
realm.
You shall sail With old friends on fair
waters,
AVlth joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander In cool fragrant gar
dens - '
With those who have loved you the
,..bcst,
Arid'' the hares that wore i lost In life's
Journey .
Vou shall find In the City of Rest.
A woman writes: "I wonder so much
if I am good- enough to go to heaven
when 1 pass out of this life. I so hope
I am. The great longing of my heart has
been for a happy
home life, but I
havo never had a
real hoinc. Fate
has been rather un
kind to me In that
way."
If this woman Is
dally and hourly
doing all she can
to ' mako every
place u home, and
to g'.vo the homo
spirit to each house
she occupies; It sho
Is making htr own
atmosphcio home
like and sympa
thetic to eveiy ono
who comes near her, then she may rest
assured she will find a home such as
a he has longed for when she leaves the
body: and that will be heaven.
There Is no regulation heaven any more
than there Is ono regulation manner of
life on earth.
Take the very good, simple, kindly
farmer's wife, whose whole joy of life
lies In preparing food for her household,
and in attending tho church, and in re
tiring early and rising betimes, and place
her In the home ot the duchess of Marl
borough, In London, and she would be
very miserable, indeed.
How to Make the Best
Cough Remedy at Home
A Family Sstpply sit Small Cost,
sad Fully Guaranteed.
Make a plain syrup by mixing one
pint of granulated sugar and pint of
warm water and stir for 2 minutes.
Put 2 ounces Of pure Finer (flftv
tents' worth) in a pint bottle, and fill it
up with the Sugar Syrup. This gives
fou a family supply of the best cough
lyrup at a saving of $2. It never spoilt.
Juke a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con-
?uer an ordinary cough In ,24 hours,
t tones up the jaded appetite and ia
just laxative enough to be helpful in
a cough, and has a pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, Whooping cough and
spasmodic croup.
This method of making cough remedy
with Tinex and Sugar Syrup (or
strained honey) is now used in more
homes than any other cough syrup.
This explains why it is often imitated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Plner, which is a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in gualacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Tinex, or will get it for you. If not,

are wholly different from those of tho
duchess. Yet both are good women: both
ore filling their sphere" hero on' earth as
unselfishly and wisely as. they know how,
and both will unquestionably go to
hca.ven when tucy pass, on; but tholr.
heavens will bo unslmllar.
Yet, no doubt, they will bo less un
slmllar than now, because the fanners
wife has often wished for more of tlls
earth's goods, wherewith to enlarge her
sphere of usefulness and tho duchess has
no doubt wished, for a simpler Hf.o and
simpler joys; and so both havo made
corresponding, changes, in the heavenly
mansion not built by hands.
The woman, who longs for a home and
tor love as its keynote. If sho has sent
out love vibrations to all the world, and
envied no, woman who had more, than
she here, but rejoiced, in all the blessings
which have fallen to the sharo'.'of, others,
sho wilt surely find her mansion wait'
InK. Arid she will enjoy It artd the society,
ot those she loves" until it is, time, for,
her to pose- on to other regions in- tho
worlds beyond,' and to reincarnate again
and return to earth: where, no doubt,
she will then be given tho home life in
a material form.
The- "fate" which sho says has been
unkind to her was only her old self in
past lives, where, she failed to appreciate
homo life 'and domestic affection.
For as wo sow we reap. Ctherwise
thero would bo no Justice in the universe.
A great religious teacher tells ua there
nre- four Important steps In self-Improvement;
the self-Improvement whiqh will
enable us to build good karma for the
future, (good causes, and therafore good
results).
Observation- of what Is going on about
us, accurate observation, will enable us
to gain health and longovlty and to sleep
peacefully..
People who Hee, hear and understand
tho dolly happenings of life accurately
aro very rare.
Discrimination Is another quality- to
bo cultivated. We must learn to dis
criminate between our needs and our
desires, our wants and our necessities;
between our physical tool tho body and
our master mind. Tho teacher tells us
this will develop the intellectual soul and
give spiritual life new impetus.
Devotion Is another Important factor
In our growth.
, To let no day pass in which' wo do not
turn our thoughts reverontly to higher
powers and Invisible helpers, and give
thanks and love to the Creator for our
blessings, and ask, tor more light- and
greater opportunities for usefulness"..
Then comes the fourth step persistence
In. all these- things. X
When wo use continuously all these
four ways of self-dovelopment, we are
equipped to build our heaven here on
oarth and in the. world to come.
Three Women and Their World Lessons
By ADA PATTERSON.
They are not pleasant stories I will
tell you today, my readers, but I hopo
they will be as good for you In the read
ing as they were for mo In the watcning.
Alt reached their climaxes In the recent
holidays.
There was tho
weman who tried to
kill herself. Sho
was a woman In the
early forties who
had been pretty
nnd who would still
bo attractive had
not her face grown
so hard, her eyes to
cold, her voice me
tallic; all symp
toms of a harden
ing heart.
She had never
worked In her life.
As a girl she had
been supported too
luxuriously, living beyond her father's
means. As a young matron she had
plunged into extravagance, alienating and
nearly bankrupting her husband. As' a
divorcee she had lived as a spendthrift I
and in dubious ways.
During the holidays she had tried to
kill herself. Brought back to conscious
ness she said life bored her. She promised
to avoid another attempt at suicide pro
vided she could find "some entertain
ment." If she found nothing to amuso
her she would try to shuttle off again
and the next time 'she wouldn't bungle.
That night she went to a tango ball, re
turning' home In high spirits.
In this big hurrying world, with work
crying out to be done and other work
crying out td be better done, with shoul
ders bent by their burdens and hearts
aching with their hurts, a, woman tried
to die because she could not find any
thing to "arausa" her.
Another woman did the work of self-
extermination better. The Janitor found
her with a gas tube In her mouth, her
face livid, her eyes staring. Five years
ago the woman had been slexed with n
fancy to go upon the stage.
The fancy became an obsession. That
she was the beloved wife of a good hus
band, the mother of three bright, healthy,
beautiful children, that she had a good
home and many friends, weighed not at
all In the scales.
Un, up soared the end of the life scales
in which she had placed these, and down,
down, a that which had the only real
weight to her, went her ambition to be
come an actress. She left the home and
the husband, the children and the friends,
and came to New York. Of course sine

"I didn't believe she'd do it," said the
janitor. Tho husband and children she
deserted never speak of her, not even
since the news came in a laconic tele

"While ono stands, ten thousand fall"
were tho dying words of another wreck
of one whom nature had designed to be
a good woman, wife and mother.
They havo taken her back to the home
frctn which she ran away seven years
ago. She had found her home town hum

Jealousy on the
RV WILLIAM GRAY.
Actors and actresses of all grades are
admittedly the most generous people In
the world. Strangely enough, at tho
same time, almost without exception,
they are deadly jealous ot one another.
The green-eyed monster Is responsible
for much misery and unfairness in tho
profession, and I have often marvelled at
its prevalence.
I have In mind the case of a star who,
In singing a very tino number with
chorus and lighting effects, was assisted
by a young girl in the refrain. The lat
ter was a light and a very graceful dancer,
and she worked well up to her principal,
thus contributing largely to the success
of the Item.
Tho star's mother was "In front" at
the first performance, nnd immediately
tha curtain descended she rushed to her
daughter, gasping:
"Oh, my dear, you must not permit it.
That girl draws all attention from you,
Hho's lovely and she must be suppressed.
See the stage manager at onco about It,"
That official was called to the dressing
room and heard the star's "complaint."
Five minutes later an ambitious little
chorus girl was sobbing bitterly at the
back of the stage. She had been told
her work was excellent but that In futuro
she must not do her - best because her
best easily overshadowed the star's ef
forts. If there Is anything to choose between
them T think Jealously exists more among
the ladles and gentlemen In musical
comedy than Is the caso with vaudeville
folk. The spobbery usually starts with
the management and Is slavishly copied
by every one down to the chorus,
I know one West End theater whom
the following notice was once displayed
at the stage door:
"Notice Ladles of the chorus are re
quested not to notice Mr, on tho
street."
In their turn the "show ladles" fre
quently decline to talk to tho choruif
"girls," and onco I was present at no end
of a squabble between three of the
chorus over a line that one )( ihem ial
been given to speak. Each claimed It
had been given to herself, and as each
of the young ladles bore a striking re
semblance to the others tho producer
himself had a hard task to decide which
of them he had originally chosen for "the
part"
Lady Ilolyrood and Dolores are Hi
two star lady parts In that delightful
musical comedy, "Florodora." There has
always been troublo between tho ladles
playing the two characters as to which
of them should tako precedence of the
other. In one touring company with which
I did business relations between the nc
tresses became so strained as a result of
this never-ending controversy that tho
traveling manager wrote a full report at
the matter to the head office and asked
for Instructions.
thing ho bollevos in! But although with all my heart
and head I try to think with Lovo and all his ttomabeca
that caresses aro dessert enough somehow my fancy
goes a-wajidorlng off and sallB around, and around, and
straight to pumpkin pie; or English plum pudding with
sauce rnado of brown sugar and butter and rum flowing
over 11; or home-made apple pie with nutmeg' Inside and
whipped cream outside! Kiacs for dessert make u
pretty picture but wouldn't you like It bettor to havo
both? Me I dol NELL BRINKLEY.
A few days later a notice was affixed
to the callboard stating that Dolores wns
inn principal part in the musical comeuy.
Tho actress playing Lady Ilolyrood Im
mediately handed In her resignation.
The actor-manager and tho author nro
very Jealous of one another, Tho latter
Is always accused by the former of giv
ing too much "fat" to his other actor
friends In the company, and the author
Invariably thinks nnd says that his
patron's acting Is on a lovel with that of
an Italian organ grinder's monkey.
I onco got a (tecp nt a letter from a
well-known actor-manager to an equally
Illustrious writer returning the MS. of
a new production with comments. It
read something like this: "You don't get
me on early enough. I must make tho
big entrance, not . So-and-so has too
much fat. I don't want to be on In the
sixth scene. Put there. Cut - 's
pnrt. That bit of dialogue will do for
me." The letter went on at great length
In this strain,
The author got 'the better of it, in my;
opinion, when Jie'-. replied: "I .herewith
return your check.- You want a mono-,
Jogue not a play."
There are always heaps of Jealousy In
all theaters and music halls renectlng
tho way everybody la billed. Seldom 1b
everybody satisfied.
I think it Is generally known by tho
public that In all contracts thero Is a
claiife which' reads: "The management
will bill tho artiste In type the size and
nature of which they deserve to, them
selves the right to decide." Despite this,'
overy week when new bllllmrs and noun
paper advertisement!, matter la issued,
there is an eager rush by every one to
scan It, Then you hear comments llko
this:
"Hilled me llko a chorus girl. I won't
stand it." "Classed with the pictures.
am I? Well, I won't go on," "Urcat!
Scott, I'm not good enough to mention'
now," "She's bigger again this week,
It's nice to be a friend ot tho manager."
Comedians are easily tho most Jealous
men in the world at pantomime time.
Their first endeavor Is to appropriate thq
star dressing room in the theater, irre
spective of any claims the lady principals
may have. When a three-cornered fight;
has been fought between the manage'
ment, tho ladles and themselves about the
distribution of "gags," "I won't feed,
him," Is an expression frequently heard
rhich means that one fun provider dis
tinctly declines to lend himself to work
ing up n scene In order that his partner
may speak In the line or lines that ulti
mately get the big laughs.
It is only human nature to feel cxulta

Hair that loses its color and lustre, e
when It fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother mad up a,
mixture of Sags Tea and Sulphur to
keep her looks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark shad
of hair which Is so attractive, use oply
this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture,
by asking at any 4 ug store for a H

hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it ha been applied.
Besides, It takes off dandruff, stops

dampen a sponge or soft brush with it

one small strand at a time. 3y morn
