There is one cosmetic never laid down in books of beauty. It is happ : ness. There is nothing which so beat tlfes the face as happy expression- the outward sign of the condition of the mind.
 Happiness is something which may be cultlvateI. It comes less from cir cumstances than from the will to see and make the best of things. It is help to health too. Make yourself happy.

A WESTERN CAMPAIGN.
The Colonel Came to the Conclusion That He Wasn't Cut Ont for
 the Legislature.

When Col. Bannister left Chicago for the mountains for the benefit of his lungs he had a dim idea that he would settle down somewhere and put in term in the state legislature. He reached Pine Top City to find the climate all he hoped for, and after a few days he broached the subject of oflice-getting to the landlord of the hotel
 'sI'm new man here" was the re- ply, "but I know feller who can tell you all about ii and I'll send him in.''
 The Heller" proved { o be an ex-mem- Der of the legislature, and when the subject was stated he replied
 ''Yes, can tell you jest how to work 1t, and if you want me to I'll run your campaign and agree to land you in the senate"
 The colonel expressed desire for an outline of how the campaign was to be run. and the "ex' laid his gun on the table before him and said:
 T don't reckon you brought one with you. but that's good one and
 
 pr so. Fhe first thing you want to do is 10 go out and pick fuss and shoot your man."
 Pick a fuss about what?" queried the colonel.
 Don't make no difference Jest go out on the street and cuss the town, the climate or the people. Get up row over religion or politics or the hereafter. When you've got to cer- tain pint you must call the other fell low a liar. He'll reach back for his gun; but you must get the drop on him and bore him. Don't get rattled over it. If you miss him you'll feel something rcd-hot go through you and the campaign will be off"
 "Hut, Lord save you. I can't go out and shoot man downi" exclaimed the colonel.
 ''Got to do it, sir-got to do it, or yau can't do no fGriiiiiii' fGriiiiiiii' for office. Havin' killed your man. you want to announce your political ambitions. Put about $50 in my hands to set up the drinks for the boys and I'll see that the verdict of the coroner's jury is all right and that Pine Top whoops 'er for you. You'd better pay the funeral expenses of the victim as well; the boys are quick to notice little p'ints like that"
 And that wifi be all?" asked the colonel.

 'Then you must learn. You'll have to put in your nights in the poker rooms or the boys will say you feel yourself too good. How much whisky can you drink?"

 That's bad. The boys viii expect about three speeches day, with one extra on Sunday. Can you shoot two handed and ride a buclsing broncho?"

THE NEW TEA REGULATIONS.
Somewhat Imperative, Because Teas
Previously Imported Do Not Come
Under Its Provisions. Considerable
Discomfort Among Dealers.

The new tea regulations which went
into effect a few months ago through
an act of Congress are not doing all
they were expected to do in the way
of preventing the sale of impure, spuri-
Gus and adulterated teas, The regu-
iations provide that all teas containing
certain percentage of dust, deter
mined by a sieve test, or showing
"scummy" matter, determined by an
infusion test, shall be debarred entry
at any port in the United States. The
good work done by this government
was followed up by similar legislation
on the part of Canada, and the result
has been to prevent importation into
this country and Canada of millions of
pounds Of cheap, trashy teas.
Dealers, however, say that the scope
of the law is not great enough. They
find that teas far below the standards
provided by the government are being
offered for sale,and investigation shows
that very large stocks of teas are held
that could not possibly come in under
the provisions of the new law. Some
of these teas were imported in antici-
patton of the passage of the law, but
many of them have been held here for
years-an unstable artcle--hut now
being fosted on the public. The dis
cussion in progress has again called
attention to the machine-made teas
grown in Ceylon and India. In addi-
tion to the fact that in all the processes
of manipulation they are handled by
modern machinery, thus obviating con-
tact with the hand. they go to the con-
sumner in the virgin state, no artificial
coloring matter being used in their
preparation. The consumption year
after year shows phenomenal in
crease, due to their innate merits, pur-
ity and cleanliness.

son has been one of its most valued at
tcndants, having a desk in the reading
room and being in charge of the reference
department Her culture and her eager

not only the respect and appreciation of
patrons, but their warn. friendship. It

at her post as librarian every evening
and has done much TO further the inter-

her faithful attendance to the duties of
both positions was well deserving the

Miss Thompson was dearly loved by her
co-workers at the public library and
there was sincere grief in every heart as
the sad intelligence of her death was told.

which she was under treatment at the
