the blues' People whose brows are
/ furrowed with the worriment of years.
People whcl lose half of the sunshine
possible for themselves and vino rob
other lives Of cheer. LOng-faced,
gloomy, biliOus-disrositiO creatures,
Of whom there are altogether too many
in the world.
Now, than, men and women of the
melancholic temperament, how about
a change from today onward? What
say you? You know it makes a vast
| difference in the sum total of a per-
sons happiness through what kind of a
disposition he views the world. AS
one can hold piece of green glass be-
fore his eyes and make nature look as
! g. cen to him DIS if it had been painted
thus by the master artist, so he can
make everything lCck dark and gloomy
if he locks at it through a cherries
disposition. The same conditions in
life which to a man who has cultivated
the haPit of seeing the brighter side of
things will give considerable joy will
become source of discourse cement to
g person of a morbid disposition
You will never be any richer than
you feel. I know Of a person who had
enough so far as worldly goods were
concerned but who took the edge off
his happiness by useless worriment
arising from the fear that extreme pow
erty would Overtake him and make it
necessary for him to spend his last
days in the pcDr-house. By the by,
even the penthouse would not he as
unde5ira BILE IS some other houses ars If
one took a cheerful disposition with
him as he entered it There are peO-
pie whose. dispositions would enable
them to be happier in a pOOr-hOuse
than some people are in the brown
stone fronts in Which they live in the
shadows of a cherries temperament.
Happiness is simply a condition fer the
mind, and the habit of looking for the
bright side of things can be formed like
any other habit
LOOKING FOR ROSES.
There is considerable sunshine in
this world and we can get our share
Of it if we seek it. We can look for
clouds and thCTns, or we can look for
sunshine and roses The stock of
thorns is not nearly exhausted yet and
more will grclw. And the same is true
about roses. l canOt understand it. but
it seems 10 me that some people are al
ways looking for the thOrny side of
life. Were you to pass one CT these
unfortunate people a most beautiful
-
ly hear him remark: 81 wish we
could have roses without thOrns."
ThOTnfnder, why MT take another
point Of view? Why lament that things
SO beautiful as roses grow on the same
stem with thOrns? why not be thank
full that things So sharp as tho-ns have
roses growing on the same stem?
''Th0rns 3rick," you say. Very true.
But how abcdt roses, with their grace
ful form, exquisite coloring and de-
Hghtful fragrance? Leave the thorns
and come higher on the stem.
A sunny temperament is one CT the
greatest blessings in life. Without it
the millionaire is poor. With it tha
man without a cent is rich. When 1
see child with one CT these cloud-dis-
sipating dispositions I know that he
has a possession CT more value than q
gold mine.
This l1'Gbit Of looking upon the darker
side of things viii grow upon one until
he will lose the desire to break away
from it, for, as strange as it may seem,
there are people who take s03t of
pride III being regarded as the odd and
gloomy enc in the family, as if it were
badge of distinction to have the mel
anchOliC temperament.
Ones sympathy goes out to a family
in which there is a member who is al
ways dOWn-hearted. Such a person is a
cloud in the home Sky. No matsr how
cheerful an atmosphere the other mem
bers of the household may strive 10
create, this one casts gloom over the
happiness of all. OF course, the rest Of
the family cannot be real happy when
father. mother, brother o. sister is so
downc3st in spirit, for it takes away
their courage to see a loved che with a
smileless face
CHEAPER THAN CC2METICS.
4 sunny disposition is a face bean
tilier. Many 2 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
of form and the beauty of feature is
the beauty Of expression. People who
have almost no beauty of form and fea-
ture are often considered good looking,
and tbs secret Hes in the beauty Of eX-
preston caused by a nature full Of sun
shine. These people will win every
time against the person who has SYM
metrical features unlightad by smiles
Pug noses and plain looking mouths
are forgotten on the face that beams
with smiles.
