As soon as pioneer boy was big
enough TO level a rifle he was given
powder and ball TO shoot squirrels.
After n little practice he was required
To- bring in as many squirrels as he had
received charges, under penalty of q
severe lecture or even of having his
jacket tanned -
AT the age of ID the boy became q
fort soldier. with loophole assigned him
from which 70 fight when the settlers
rallied against an Indian foray. Grow
ing older he became a hunter of deer.
elk. buffalo and bear, skilled in trailing
and In utilizing cover, capable of en-
during long marches through trackless
mountain forests. At night he was con-
tent to curl mp in a single blanket be-
side a small fire and sleep under the
roof of heaven. If il rained. in a few
minutes he built him lodge of bark
or bOughs. with no implement but his
one pound tomahawk
lncessant war with the Indians
taught him to be his own general. to be
ever on the alert, to keep his head and
shoot straight under fire. Pitted against
an enemy who gave no quarter, but
tortured the living and scalped the dead.
he became himself a stanch fighter who
never surrendered. The wilderness bred
men of iron and probably contained a
greater number of expert rifemen than
could now be mustered in all America.

Modern Lftcrnture

lone barrier that has helped t. hold
back the happiness that ought to sweep
over our land like an advancing flood is
found in modern literature, writes the
Rev. Newell Dwight Hills. d. D.. of
1.-The Secrets of a Happy Life" in The
Ladies' Home Journal MANS mental
mood must needs reflect the books and
philosophy he reads. If former genera
tions were happy in their garrets it
was because their favorite authors were
optimists, who saw life's good indeed.
yet also saw that evil in its heart was
also good. The great authors, from
Homer and Paul down to Shakespeare.
have been the children of exultant joy
as well as genius. All were large ma
tured, sweet, wholesome. healthy and
happy. The giants are optimists be-
cause they are conscious of enormous
reserves and are equal to any emer-
gency. But weakness is pessimistic be-
cause it recognizes its scant resources.
Indeed pessimism may be defined as
mediocrity, confessing itself unequal to
its task and exalting its confession into
the dignity of a cult and creed"

MRlleahle Glass.

Neri, whose book on glass was pub
lished at Florence in 1919, says, "In
the time of Tiberius was invented a
way of making glass malleable, thing
afterward lost and to this day wholly
unknown, for if such thing were now
known without doubt it would be
more esteemed for it's beauty and incor
ruptibility than silver or gold, since
from glass there ariseth neither smell
nor taste nor any other quality" But
though unknown to the old Italian, the
art was practiced in Persia if we may
believe Bailey, who says that in 1910
Sophi, emperor of Persia, sent to King
PhilipIII Of Spain six glasses that were
malleable and would not break by be-
ing hammered, and Blacout tells that
an inventor, having presented a bust of
malleable glass to Richelieu, 1920, was
rewarded for his ingenuity by perpetual
imprisonment lest the vested interests
of French glass workers should be i'll
jured by the new invention
