zone barrier that has helped to hold
back the happiness that ought to sweep
over our land like an advancing food is
found in modern literature, " writes the
Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, D. D., Of
''The Secrets of a Happy Life in The
Ladies Home Journal. "Man's 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 vas
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 ID pessimistic be-
cause it recognizes its scant resources.
Indeed pessimism may be defined ms
m%ediocrity, confessing itself unequal to
its task and exalting its confession into
the dignity of a cult and creed"

AS soon as a pioneer boy was big
enough to level a rife he was given
powder and ball to shoot squirrels.
After a little practice be was required
to bring in as many squirrels as he had
received charges, under penalty of a
eevere lecture or even Of having his
jacket "tsnned."
At TIE age Of 10 the boy became a
fort soldier, with ~looPhole assigned him
from which TO 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 up 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 a lodge Of bark
or boughs, with no implement but his
one pound tomahawk.
Incessant wal 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 rihemen than
could now be mustered in all America.

The following story comes

The following story comes
from Weiser
A good deal of feeling has been
worked up over local election
in which the women, who may
vote in this State, took a deep
interest. On election day the
women were thick about the
polls, and two of them, Mrs
Martinson and Miss Harris, the
latter a spinster, INDUCED IN a
heated alteration over the merits
of their respective candidates.
The argument was closed by
Mrs. Martinson exclaiming
eff I we're running for an office
and found out that a wlthered
up. China-faced bag like you was
working for me I would not vote
for myself"
The words had scarcely left
her lips when Miss Harris reach
ed over and clawed her veil and
a lot of epidermis from her face.
Mrs. Martinson responded by
giving her antagonist a resound-
ing slap on the face that sent her
bonnet to the side of her head
The women then clinched, and
such hair pulling and scratch
ing match was never before wit
messed in that usually quiet vii
lage. 1t was all over in a few
seconds. The combatants were
separated and led off, their faces
zigzagged with scratches.
Each woman had the other ar
rested, and Mrs. Martinson's
trial was held first. A jury OF
women was summoned, and after
the evidence had been taken the
Jurors retired to deliberate. Be
fore a great while the bailif
heard screaming inside the jury
room. Forcing the door he wit
messed a free for-al mix W
among the the jurors, who, i
developed, were strong friends
of one or the other of the womer
under arrest. The officer quoted
the jurors after great deal Of
trouble, and they filed into cour
a sorry looking aggregation, re
porting a disagreement. The
bailiff picked up a bucketful o
hatpins, switches, ribbons ant
other feminine adornments. TIL,
judge reprimanded the womel
and turned both the prisoner
