as roses grow on the same stem with
thorns? Why not be thankful that
things SO sharp as thorns have roses
growing on the same stem? 'Thorns
PRICK" you say. Very true. But how
about roses, with their graceful form,
exquisite coloring and delightful frag-
rance? Leave the thorns and come up
higher on the stem.
A sunny temperament is one OF the
greatest blessings in life. Without 1t
the millionaire is poor. With it the
man without a cent is rich. When l
see a child with one Of these cloud-dis-
sipating dispositions / know that he
has possession Of more value than a
gold mine.
This habit of looking upon the darker
side of things will grow upon one until
he will lose the desire to break away
from it, for, as strange as it may sseT,
there are people who take a sort OF
pride in being regarded as the odd and
gloomy one in the family, as if it were
a badge Of distinction to have the mel
ancholic temperament.
Ole's sympathy goes out to family
in which there is member Who is al
ways down-hearted. Such a person is
cloud in the home sky. No matter how
cheerful an atmosphere the other mem
bers Of the household may strive to
create, this one casts a gloom over the
happiness of all. OF course, the rest OF
the family cannot be real happy when
a father, mother, brother or sister is SO
downcast in spirit, for it takes away
their courage to see loved one with a
smileless face.
I CHEAPER THAN COSMETICS.
A sunny disposition is face beau
tifier. Many dollar that is now used
to purchase cosmetics could be saved
if people would use the sunshine OF the
heart instead of rouge. Do not lose
sight Of the fact that beside the beauty
CT form and the beauty OF feature is
the beauty of expression. People VINO
have almost no beauty of form and fea-
ture are often considered good-looking,
and the secret lies in the beauty of eX-
preston caused by a nature full CT sun
shine. These people will win every time
against the person who has synimotrl-
cal features unlighted by smiles Pug
noses and pla n looking mouths are for.

smiles.
PARENTS WHO WRONG THEIR
CHILDREN.
A child who inherits the tendency to
take the darker view OF things in life
is greatly wronged. He starts On the
voyage CT life seriously handicapped.
Far better for the child to be born not
perfectly formed and with a buoyant
spirit than to have the form of an
Apollo and be cursed with the DISPOSE
ton which makes one feel at times as
if he had a heart of lead,
YOU ARE CHEATING YOURSELF.
All the time spent in worriment is
Just so much time lost. This worriment
makes your trouble harder to bear be-
cause it dissipate5 what little courage
YOU would otherwise have to help you
bear the burden. Every such unhappy
day is worse than lost. Your courage
leaks away and you cheat yourself out
of ever so much happiness. Sit doW1
this Sunday afternoon and take an hour
in which to look back over the years
and see if you can trace any gain in
your cherries habits of thought. Then
compute your losses arising from this
courageless spirit and see how many
hours of joy you have sacrificed. Hours
in which you might have had a great
deal of happiness, but instead you have
had tear-wet eyes and a heavy heart,
and the hours have gone beyond recall.
Why not break away from the joy-kiil-
ing habit? Do the best you can under
all circumstances, and, having done
this, do not spend your time in useless
regrets.
SAY GOODBYE TO WRINKLES.
