1 suppose that the philosophical attitudes
which we call optimism and pessimism are
generally less the result of mental convic-
ton than of individual temperament. They
are moods, not systems. Life IN itself is
iridescent with pleasure and pain-to one
the richer hues, the lurking puppies and
leaping crimsons alone are visible; another
is spiritually color blind, and can see only
the browns and drabs, the dusky shadows
and more somber depths of existence. Per
sonality is selective force, choosing from
the vast mass Of what is, by some subtle
magnetism, just those elements which are
most akin to its own nature.
For all who attract pleasure life is a
triumph; for the rest pilgrimage. This,
no doubt, has been a universal law, no less
true when the world seemed vanity to the
author OF Ecclesiastes than It is now.
Yet it will hardly be denied that, for
whatever cause, pessimism is in an es-
pecial degree characteristic of our own
time and our own stage of Development

A Faded Bunch of violets.

silver and china she cherishes most little
picture frame, not more than four inches
square, which contains faded bunch of
violets with a dead Marguerite and white
bow Of ribbon for centerpiece.
ut is an Insignificant bit of furniture,
but it represents to her one Of the most
hallowed memories. Many years ago a
beautiful baby was born to her, and after
few years of joy and sunshine it passed
away. AS it lay in its tiny coffin, with its
blue eyes wide open and the sunshine of
an autumn day gliding its already golden
hair, somebody placed in its waxen fingers
a bunch of sweet violets, with a Marguer-
tie and a bow of white ribbon. Before the
funeral day the flowers dropped and faded,
and the mother took them and put them in
a little frame
Probably it wouldn't signify much to
you and me, but no man will undertake to
say how much love and hope and ambition
lie among those faded flowers. st. Louis

The continental monts de piete had their
origin in the Italian monti di pieta, large
numbers of which were founded in Italy
throughout the Sixteenth century, and the
objects of which were, in the first instance,
essentially charitable, the avowed purpose
of the institution being to counteract the
injurious effect of usury by lending money
on deposits at an almost infinitesimal rate
Of interest. The Franciscan monks were
the first to lend money on goods, and in 1918
they were allowed by the pope to receive a
moderate amount of interest; but in pro-
cess Of time the Italian monti di pieta be-
came extensive banking corporations,
which were occasionally plundered or half
ruined by forced loans exacted by tyran-
meal princes, and sometimes brought to
entire collapse by injudicious financial

Copious rains for the past four weeks
have insured an immense crop of wheat
for the coming season in Eastern WASH
ington. In fact old residents believe
that the amount per acre produced will
be the largest in sixteen years, or since
1876, when a similar wet fall was ex-
perienced. Wheat land throughout
the Palouse country Is rapidly advanc-
ing In value, and during thirty days
recently over S3O0,O00 worth Of trans
fers were recorded in Whitman county
alone. Though many farmers are still
holding this seasons crop for higher
prices, the conition is generally pros
porous, and mortgages to large
amount have been released within a
short time. In Whitman county but
forty mortgages have been foreclosed
in the last sixteen years, a record I'M
equaled in any other portion OF the
country for strictly agricultural COM
