The year 1900 has closed with it
sunshine and sha lows. Most OF VI
have had share OF each in different
proport ons. and the proportions, to
co siderable extent, have been Of oul
making. Some have looked for shad-
ows and some for sunshine, and as we
generally find what we diligently seek,
we have found in large measure what
we looked for. 1t is true misfortunes
are sometimes thrust upon us and II
requires great effort to combat them;
but they usually yield to heroic treat
ment, we recover, are clustered by the
ordeal, strengthened by the increased
effort put forth and are better able to
withstand subsequent assaults. By
far the larger number Of difficulties en-
countered are imaginary, not real.
Commonly speaking, things go wrong,
and we strslghtway find fault with
somebody for wrongdoing, uninten-
tionaI most likely, and censure them
for past shortcomings, anticipate more
to follow and brood over them. Had
we taken time to consider dispassion-
ately the evil complained of, examined
our words and acts that may have been
contributOry, it might have been found
that we we've more sinners than sinned
against and that we had wronged our
neighbor. Hardening such thoughts
not only obscures the sunshine bul
CASTS baleful shadows over our lives and
the lives of othels-wEiIe the con-
sciousaess of right living and the
charity to credit others with good in
intentions, removes distrusts and
makes our lives brighter. Those who
have labored under this delusion and
incurred difficulties never encountered
AMI wrongs never inflicted can render
themselves and associates no greater
service than by moving from under the
shadows of 1900 into the sunshine of
1901.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
oil Manchester, Mich, tells how such
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been 80 helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
prove / and able to do her own work. !"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
tssness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, faintine aud dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is godsend
TO weak, sickly, rundown people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only SOC. Sold
by all druggists.

everybody's sovereign. He ceased to
