The doctor was right. Pretty
soon we heard that young Scannell
had gone to work again in the foun-
dry, and not long afterwards she
came for her parrot. "Polly keeps me
company" she said, .when him and
pa is off at their work and he won't
mind her talk now as he amt $3.50
nervous as he used to be.
And he need not have minded it,,
for there was a change for the better
in Polly's talk after that. Tom and

fruit to Mr.. Scannell, and the parrots
reply to Toms ''Hello, Polly was,
"Oh, how jolly' Several times dur
ing the visit she broke out with. ''Be

would stop abruptly and after a
pause begin again. Mrs. Scannell
said it was some nonsense he had
taught her with Mrs. Scannell ''he"

we were leaving, Polly made a vio-
lent effort, and brought out the whole
remark. ''Be it ever so humble,

Two WAYs.-Every event that
checkers our lives, every experience
that we pass through, may be treated
in these two ways. Either we may
receive it passively, as something to
be accepted and remembered only for
itself and its transient effect on our
happiness, or we may enter into its
real meaning, learn its offered les
sons, and pass on with an accumula-
ted power of life. The difference is
something like that which we see in
two workmen, one of whom has
learned a certain method of working,
to which he is bound, and beyond
which he cares not to look /; the other
has mastered the principles of his
occupation, appreciates its value
knows the points to be attained, anC
applies his thought and energy t.
compass them in the best way, usins
| whatever method he finds most eff
cacious.

HAPPINESS A HA BIT AND A
DUTY.

Every permanent state of mind is
largely the effect of habit. Just as
we can perform an action so contin-
tinually that it comes to be habitual,
so we can encourage conditions of
mind till they, too, come to be habits
of thinking and even of feeling. Ev-
cry thoughtful parent or teacher rec
ognizes this in the training of youth.
The child constantly thwarted or
scoided or ridiculed has constantly
aroused within him feelings of resent
ment or encouragement or misery,
grow to be habitual, and character
for ill temper moroseness or despon-
dency is formed. On the other hand,
the child who is wisely treated,
whose faculties are brought into ac-
ton, who is encouraged to do well,
who is surrounded with cheerful
faces and orderly arrangements, be-
comes accustomed to corresponding
habits of thought and feeling. The
exercise of self-control, of truthful
ness, of honesty, and other essential
qualities, not only result in hahitual
actions Of the same nature, but IN
habitual feelings or states of mind
that induce those actions. SO the
condition which we call happiness is
likewise acquired to a considerable
degree. 1t involves within it many
things, but they are not impossible
to secure; and, when we have dis
covered them it rests with us to en-
courage or discourage them. Happi-
ness is not only a privilege, but a
duty, not a mere outward good that
may perhaps come to US, but an in
ward possession which we are bound
to attain. When we remember the
| contagious character of happiness,
the strength, courage, and hope it
excites by its very presence and
the power for good it exerts in every
direction, we cannot doubt our obi
CATION to attain as much as possible.

Total abstinence never filed jail

Total abstinence never led a pure

PROHIBITION THE ISSUE OF
THE HOUR.

Drunkenness is the curse of this
nation, and it takes no logical pro-
cess to prove to this audience that a
drunken nation cannot long be a free
nation. l have seen more drunken
people in Brooklyn and in New York
in the last six weeks than in any ten
years of life; and so have you, if
you have been passing up and down
these streets much. There is more
rum swallowed in this country, and
of worse kind than was ever swal-
lowed since the first distillery began
it's work of death. Where there was
one drunken home there are ten
drunken homes. Where there was
one drunkard's grave there are twen-
ty .drunkards graves. According to
United States Government figures, in
1910 there were 23,000,000 gallons
of beer sold. Last year there were
451 100000 gallons. According to
the Governmental figures in the year
1910 there were 100000 gallons of
wine sold. Last year there were
25,000,000 gallons of wine sold.
1t is on the increase. Talk about
crooked whiskey-by which men
mean the whiskey that does not pay
the tax to the Government / tell
you all drinks are crooked. If l
could gather all the armies of the
dead drunkards and have them come
to a convention, and then add to
that host all the armies of livin g
drunkards-fve and ten abreast
and then if I could have you mount
a horse and ride along that line of
review, you would ride that horse
until he fell from exhaustion, and
you would mount another and ride
until he fell from exhaustion; and
you would take another and another,
and you would ride along hour after
hour and day after day. Great
hosts, in regiments, in brigades.
Great armies of them. And then il
you had voice enough stentorian tc
enable them to hear, and you could
| give the command, Forward
march p their first tramp would jal
the foundations of the earth.-De
