Happiness in the Home.

In the family relation every one
should be ut his best. The home ought
to be heaven. 1t ought to be as
nearly heaven as is possible on earth.
There should be no purposely with
cred flowers about the hearthstone and
no purpOsely clouded sunbeams. Sell
fishness alone ought to be sufficient to
make home conduct exemplary. Ger
t2inly al want n pleasant home. Ger
tainly all want smiles instead OF
frowns. Home should be just one con-
tinual blaze of sunshine. But it cannot
be while some member of the family
circle is swapping and faIlt-tinding and
selfish. DO people ever go more deiib-
crateiy and insanely at work To make
Themselves miserable than they do
when they deliberately cloud the lights
of the only place on earth where they
have any reason to expect anything
like perfect quiet and happiness2-

one gentleman who learned and re-

Kansas, an irreproachable citizen, a

him their highest regard. The opin-

The dummy figure that sits IN the
doorway of the Moorish palace, in the
Midway. was recently the cause of
some excitement >and the arrest of a
stranger within the gates.
The dummy is dressed to represent a
Columbian guard. AS it sits in the
shadow of the awning it looks exceed
ingly natural, and to make the effect
more realistic a mechanism works the
thing so that every ten minutes the
head moves from one side to the other.
At other times its eyes stare straight
into the eyes of visitors with that in
quisitorial, severe and knowing air SO
common to the constabulary of the fair.
Two men who had been drinking too
freely of Midway beer accoSted the
figure and asked him some questions
about the palace. He stared straight
at them and never uttered IL word.
Another question was pnt to him in n
louder tone of voice, but ne deliberate
ly and coldly turned his head away.
The two friends walked away little
distance and reasoned together. One
said:
I've heard of the impudence of these
guards and I've mind to go back and
slap him"
That's right" encouraged his friend;
lets go back and slap him. and then
if he says anything we'll hit him so
he'll feel it."
