the Skikomishes, the Snohomishes, the

when you have mastered the gentle
art Of winEing," said Lord Beacons-
field, you hold the key to success in
your hands"
Every ones personality is made up
Of trivial failings and trivial talents.
Foster the good qualities in your
friends and subordinates and wink at
those failings so dear to their possess
ors. Not to see everything is a rule
which will strengthen friendships and
help you to get the best results from
your fellow workers.

poleon of one of his officers. HE Is

on the ultimate result and ignore little

said Nelson. And General Gordon once
remarked that the man who lost his
temper because a private's boot lace
was tied loosely on the day of battle
did more to lose the day than all the
enemy'S guns.

The Artists Hoodoo.

ARTISTS are a queer lot" remarked
one Of them yesterday as he smoked
pensively in his Chestnut street studio
and gazed dejectedly at half finished
sketch. 81 can't do any work today
just because dreamed Of a redheaded
girl last night. That let's me out.
can dream of any other kind of girl
and it doesn't affect my work, but il
the vision of my dreams has red hair
Pm no good the next day.
"No, it's not superstition. l don't
know what it Is. All artists have their
off days from some cause or other, and
some of them have antidotes., l have
none. l just give up when the red
headed girl comes across the path Of
my dreams.
"a friend Of mine counteracts the eff
feet of his hoodoo by clothing himself
In an outlandish way. I have seen him
working in an opera hat, the coat Of
his dress suit and pair of pink pyja-
mas, and doing good work at that. An
other friend of mine always eats lot
Of raw onions when he has a particu-
larry sentimental subject to handle.
But when it comes to me just have to
give up."-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Peculiar jams.

Ernest NJ. Bowden in The Nineteenth
Century reports a chat with Raja
Sivaprasad on Jainism. The jams
pay more regard to the feelings Of the
lower animals than any other sect in
the world; will not kill them or injure
them; are careful to avoid destroying
even insects. sometimes wearing a
handkerchief over the mouth to pre-
vent any living creature being breath
ed in. 1t may be argued that this
tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal to it's possessors, handicapping
them seriously in the struggle for life
with less scrupulous rivals. AS evi,
dence to the contrary Mr.. Bowden
points to the jams:
Notwithstanding the opposition, II
not active prosecutions, of bygone
times, the one small sect which, more
than any other in the world, has
taught and practiced the doctrine OF
'ahimsa,' or 'noninjury,' to living crea.
lures, stands today, after some four
and twenty centuries, by far the most
prosperous community in population
verging on 3OOOOO,OOO."

No Fear whe Death Draws Nigh.

No Fear whe Death Draws Nigh.
81 have seen thousands of persons
, die under all sorts Of circumstances,
and never yet have l seen one display
the slightest fear Of DEATH" This re-
markable statement was made the 9TH
err day by a physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia and
who has seen a great deal Of hospital
service.
1T is a popular fallacy," he went on,
"to imagine that deathbed scene is
ever terrible other than as parting
between loved ones. The fear Of the
unknown is never present at the last.
Even amid ignorance and vice l have
never experienced such scenes as a
novelist who strives after realism will
sometimes picture.
when a patient is told that he can
not recover and the end Is near, he in
variably seems resigned to his fate,
and his only thought seems to be Of
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike of men and women.
"Those who become hysterical and
declare they are not fit to die are the
ones who are not as i'll as they think
they are. They always get well.
"A psychological reason? Oh, don't
know that there is any. It's just hui
man trait" philadelphia Record.

Weapons of the skunk.

A skunk once challenged a lion to
single combat. The lion promptly de-
clined the honor. why" said the
skunk, "are you afraid" Every much
So" said the lion, 'for you would only
gain fame for having the honor to fight
with a lion, while every one who met
me for a month would know l had
been in company with a skunk"
This reminds us Of the story about
Henry Ward Beecher's father, the IA
nous DR.. Lyman Beecher, who, when
asked why he did not reply to some
body who had severely attacked him
in a newspaper, replied that when a
young man, crossing field one night
with an armful of books, he saw a
small animal and after hurting several
volumes at the animal found he got the
worst of it, and ever since had thought
it better to let such animals alone

And the Minister Smiled

The York Me) Transcript says that
a Portland minister recently called up
on one of the families in his parish.
He assembled the steps and knocked at
the door. Receiving no response, he
was about to depart when he heard a
window in the next house open and a
womans voice say, Mrs. Smith, the
minister's at your door,"
What was the pastors surprise and
amusement when he caught Mrs
Smiths response waited gently around
the corner of the house, Ssh, don't you
spose know itn'
The next Sunday after service Mrs
Smith met her pastor and expressed
her sorrow that she was away when he
had called.

"Not IL 1t Were My Boy"

Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening Of some re-
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that if only one
boy was saved from ruin 1t would pay
for all the cost and care and labor Of
establishing such an institution as that.
After the exercises had closed, in pri-
vate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said
to him:
did you not color that little when
you said that all that expense and la
Dor would be repaid If it only saved
one boy"
Not If it were my boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.
