As You Make 1t.
(Free Lance.)

Free Lance.)
Are you like many people who
praise or curse fate for their good or
bad luck ia this life. Your life Is
exactly what you make it. You
can make it sunny or dark Just as
yoI will.
Frown at every thing and every,
body, distrust everything and every>
body, believe there is nothing good,
every body bad. Look on the dark
side Of everything, after doing that
examine yourself AMI see what 1T
has made Of you. 1t has made you
sour person, who believes there is
no good in anything; makes you over
sen sit!ve, suspicious; 10 axes you be
lieye and speak evil of everyone and
IN q word a miserable beng.
Now take the other side. 4 snnnv,
jovial fellow who sees only the bright
and good siie Of everything; who
believes that there is good IN every
thing end everybody; who looks on ly
for the good ; who looks for the silver
lining to every cloud no matter how
dark. Examine yolrself aud see
the ditt'ernce. Now sunny, jovial
happy fellow who enjoys life to the
fullest extent.
Whist are you making life? Dark
or sunny.

saw few days ago a model of the
first writing machine made in this couu-
try. 1t was patented in 1913 by man
named Charles Thurber, of Massachusetts,.
and is really amusing affair in its very
clumsiness It consists of a wheel about
a foot in diameter which turns horizon
tally upon central pivot; the rim OF the
wheel IS bored with % holes, in each
one of which is rod bearing at the top
a glass letter and at the bottom similar
letter of steel The paper sheet is so ar
ranged that the line to be printed is un-
der the rim of this wheel, and the letter
wanted is swung into place by turning
the wheel; when in place rod bearing
it is depressed until the steel letter or
type touches the paper. I should saw
that even the fastest operator could not
write more than half as fast as a man
with a pen. Yet It was a writing
machine and Thurber succeeded in get
ting people to invest SIS, 600 In this Curl
Gus device. At present there are no less
than AZ different kinds Of typewriters
made and sold in this country, and IN

be more than 5000 expert operators
