TO OUR DAILY LIVES.
What One of Our Foremost Ladies Thinks
About 1t,

Henry W. Longfellow has said in one
of nis most popular poems that GAIL
things come round to him who will
but wait"
How true it certainly is that if we
have but the patience to wait and strug-
gle for that which we SO much desire,
the prize will surely be ours.
1t is not enough, however, to sit quiet
ly down and remain inert, but if we
would accomplish great results we must
possess untiring perseverance.
At least one person appreciates the full
significance of the great mans words.
Miss S. Cohen of 554 South 9th ST., Cam
den, Nj, has for months been waiting,
longing and striving to regain that
health without which life is at best but
a dreary existence.
She has been constantly treating with
different remedies and physicians but
never once lost courage, for she had
made up her mind that there was a rene
dy which would cure her and was de-
termined to find it. She succeeded SO well
and is so Tiled with gratitude and thank
fitness that she wishes the whole world
could know OF. her wonderful cure.
The following is a letter written by
her for the public benefit:

A School Where No skulGing is Tolerated

A School Where No Skulking is Tolerated.
In the Chestnut street school there is
prize motto which is the trophy of the
room having the best average attendance.
The scholars Of Miss Gould's room have
been making gallant contest for the
motto, and the scholars have been much
interested to keep the attendance full.
Yesterday it was discovered that one boy
was missing. His absence would have
bad effect on the average, and there were
not wanting those who insinuated that
the gold of the enemy Lad corrupted
him. So delegation of young
"hustlers" started for that boys home.
They found him, ascertained that he
was in good bodily health, and then in
formed him that he was needed at
school. But the delinquent informed
them that he should consult his own
convenience about that. Thereupon
the COMMITTEE seized him, and by force
dragged him to the school, where he was
duly marked present." much to the
benefit of the average and edification OF
the school.
