DISCOURAGED!

That is your condition simply because your
nerves are weak, your brain tired, and your head
aches because you pass restless nights, wake tired,
and have lost your vim, energy and snap: you are
gloomy, depressed, and have a sense of anxiety, or
foreboding suffering from spring debility
You are discouraged, not because you are sick,
for in your soul yon kaOw that they ought to be
some means OF cute.
"Oh!' you wall. II have tried things
and failed" You co10ard, you baby,
YOur nerves have simply gone back on yOu.
Do you think that because you have failed to find
the right once twice, dozen times, that there
is nothing good in the world? Is it the part of a
noble human SOUL when health happiness, life it,
self Is at stake, to give up hope, to become weak
and discouraged simply because a bottle Of this or
bottle of that, a doctor here or doctor there
failed to cure?
Confess !t-you arc not sick beyond cure, Bat
haze only lost yonr pluck.
Courage is of the highest attributes and moth
ing so quickly shows the weakling discourage
ment. The courageous or non-courageous soul is
what makes mice.
Suppose the matchless artists of the world had
lost courage in the long and bitter hours of their
disappointments! Suppose our great inventors,
meeting obstacles every hand, allowed their
wondrous genius droop with encouragement ere
the steam engine, the telegraph or telephone were
discovered! Suppose the learned astronomers ,
searching the skies night after night through weary
years, had become hopeless. dshcartened, discour-
aged before grdvitation because known fact!
An indomitable will to try and get well is all you
want-try, even in the face of hundred failures
and success will surely crown your efforts.

est am My Own Master. "

81 am my own master,' says the
young man. Well, be your own mas
ter, and sit down and have an earnest
and plain talk with yourself Ask
yourself who you are, what you are.
and what you have been doing, what
you are doing and what you pro-
pose or expect to do hereafter. Ask
Yourself what you have done to make
the world wiser, or better or happier.
Try to ascertain whether you have
done the world harm or done it good,
see if you have been of any real SER
vice to mankind, and how. What
are you worth to the world in which
you live? What great enterprise for
the promotion of human interest
would suffer by your death? How
many would miss you or care wheth-
err YOU lived or died? You are one of
the fourteen hundred millions of hu-
man beings on earth. How much
and what sort of influence have you
exercised on others? or have you, or
do you exercise any influence worth
| notice.
You are your own master. Does
the master try to be a man, or is he
content to be mere cipher in socie-
tv? Has he sufficient self respect to
keep himself above all that is low,
coarse, vulgar and bad? Does he al
ways speak the truth-never use OBJ
scene nor profane language never
do a mean thing! Is he always re-
gardful of age, respectful to equals
and kind to interiors? Does he labor
earnestly to improve his mind, his
morals and his manners; or, is he
careless: idle and Indifferent to such
things? Does he spend much time IN
the company of idlers - smoking,
drinking and foolish talking? If so,
tell him-that master of yours-he is
on the wrong track, and if he does
not switch himself off, there is surely
crash ahead, and no one to save
the pieces, and when it comes the
verdict of the people will be, "serv-
ed him right" He might have known
it would come. He lived for it and
he has it. "You are your own mas
ter"
Better watch that master very
closely - see that he forms no bad
habits, keeps out of bad company,
uses no improper language, is always
engaged in some honest and useful
pursuit, lives honestly, truthfully and
usefully. If these and like things are
we'll and faithfully attended to, then
and then only may you expect to be
of any real service to the generation
in which you live. Remember there
will be many obstacles to be over
come, many difficulties to be encoun-
tered, many temptations to be resist
ed and many hard struggles between
inclination and duty, so that you will
have to put down all the will force
you can possibly command, but choose
the right in all things and stick to it,
and all will end well. 1t requires con-
tinued and earnest effort to be a true
man, true in every sense of the word,
and yet every man may be true man
if he will. With all the privileges
granted, and all the advantages at
tainable, it still depends on the indi-
vidual himself whether or no he will
| be a true man.

Mr.. George Ticknor, who wrote
"The History of Spanish Literature, p"
and 'tThe Life of Prescott" remem-
bered distinctly the death of Wash
ington. He says in his diary;
"There never was a more striking
or spontaneous tribute paid to man
than was paid in Boston, when the
news came of Washington's death.
1t was on December IA, 1870, a
little before noon, and Mr.. Ticknor
says: Il often heard persons say at
the time that one could know how far
the news had spread by the closing
of the shops. Each man, when he
heard that Washington was dead,
shut his store as a matter of course,
without consultation, and in two
hours all business was stopped.
My father came home, and could
not speak, he was so overcome. My
mother was alarmed to see him in
such state till he recovered enough
to tell her the sad news. For some

A laborer lately told his wife, on
awakening, curious dream which he
had during the night. He dreamed
that he saw coming toward him, in
order, four rats. The first was very
fat, and was followed by two lean
rats, the rear rat being blind. The
dreamer was greatly perplexed as to
what evil might follow,as it has been
understood that to dream of rats de-
notes coming calamity. He appeal
ed to his wife concerning this; but
she, poor woman, could not help him.
His son, sharp lad, who heard his
father tell the story, volunteered to
be the interpreter. 1.-The fat rat, :"
he said, sis the man who keeps the
saloon that you go to so often. The
two lean rats are my mother and me,
and the blind rat, father, is yourself.

LITTLE GEORGES IDEAS MINED
Little Georges ideas about the flag
of freedom and Gods creations at the
beginning of the world became sadly
confused at Sunday school the other
day. The teacher had told the class
of the things God had made, and
then turned to George whose patri-
otto mind was evidently dwelling
upon a new and beautiful flag his ia
ther had purchased the day before.
"Well Georgia" she said, "what
was it that God made on the fourth
day."
Instead of the expected answer,
tThe sun, moon and stars" George
in a shrill confident tone, exclaimed ::
''The stars and Stripes and then
he cried when the teacher smiled and
said he was wrong.
''Well," he said between his sobs,
eff God didn't make 'em, who did
And then everybody laughed out
loud, and right in Sunday school, too.

and it tasted good. Mother said then
it was wrong, and she never would be
guilty of it again. And if mother

knows she knows"
"How about mince pies? Are you
sure she knows how to make pies
good?'' and a laugh went up from
group of girls gathered around the
register of the recitation room, eating
their lunch.
But some of them WINGED little

s'If she doesn't, she knows how to
make boy good and isn't boy

example when they were liz the White

trust, will never be lost in this coun-

and proper to have dinner parties

maker, the daughter of the Postmas-

recently in Washington in honor of
twenty of her Philadelphia guests.
All the appointments of the dinner
