can will be considered by Americans
as good as things foreign; when con-

cans without fear of losing votes. It's
coming, and the evil effects of its lone
delay will hasten its coming"

better. than medicine. Learn how t.
tell story. A well-tcld story is al
welcome as sunbeam in sick room
Learn to keep, your. own troubles t.
yourself, The world is too busy to car
for your ills and sorrows, Learn to stol
croaking, If you cannot see any goot
in the world, keep the bad to yourself
Learn to hide your aches and pain
under pleasant smile. No one care
whether you have the earache, head
ache OF, rheumatism. Don't cry. Tear
do we'll enough in novels, but they, ar
out of place in real life. Learn to NEE

humored man or woman is Away
welcome, but the ,dyspeptic or hypo
chondrine is not wanted anywhere, ant
is q nuisance as well.-Ex.
