OAF1BLERS

Flung on the whir1ing cosmic wheel,
This great green sphere spins out the
game
Through alternating night and fams,
Reckless Of what the players feel.
Eager, each change Of luck they mark.
With curse OF prayer. or grin or smile.
And win or lose a little while,
And then go back into the dark
And some lose all, dead broke and blank;
Most hedge, some plunge to make or
OF break,
And some win wild on every stake,
But none viii ever break the bank
By their drawn brows and Quivering lips,
As their stacks slowly grow or shrink,
The Iooker-on might almost think
They played for money, not COR chips.
And one vague dread without name,
Shadows on everybody here
BY what back stairs can we get clear.
Should the Powers come to raid the
game? Life.

The Secret Of Happiness

The announcement that Mr. HaT-
low y Hfginbotham has accepted
the presidency Of the new Grocers'
Trust. says the Chicago Journal. >"
is interesting TO the student Of hu-
man nature, as we'll as to the world
Of trade Not many months ago Mr.
Higfnbotham said that he had re-
tired from active business life for
ever. He had worked hard and con
tinuously since boyhood until he was
considerably past midle age, he had
accumulated a very large fortune.
and he purposed to spend his re-
naming years in peace and comfort.
This. as has been said, was only a
few months ago. And yet Mr.. Hig-
inbotham has tired already Of that
peace and comfort he then thought
desirable. and has returned TO the
riaIto to take up greater burdens
than those of which he rid him
self last year. There is no reason
10 believe that Mr. Higinbotham was
not sincere when he delivered his
valedictory address, and 1t is, Of
course, not possible that he Te-en-
ters the world of business now
against his viii. What. then. is the
explanation of his altered mind?
Why does he now, an older man than
he was when he found the CONNER
ciaI struggle troublesome, plunge
into it again?
The answer is not the superficial
answer that leaps readiest to the
penpofnt. 1t is net that Mr.. High
botham has no resources within him
self to keep off ernui. 1t is not that
he is unable to enjoy the
pleasures of travel, art and lit
erature And it most certainly is
not that he needs the money, for
money does not enter into the prob
lem at all. No. The answer is that
human nature is so constituted that
until a mans physical and mental
mental energy has been entirely de-
stroved by age or by disease there
is nothing in life worth living fer
but achievement. Whether We are
writer's OF artists or men OF science
working apparently for fame. or men
of business working apparently for
money. the case is the same with
all OF rs. Our apparent object is
never our real object Neither fame
nor money viii ever bring happiness
to US We are seeking happiness
ard fnding it in achievement, and
in nothing else.

TIE PICTURE QUESTION
By L. I.

One of the readers of the "PhiIa-
deIphia Times" writes to that paper
for the purpose Of pointing ont somc
most interesting facts IN regard to
the illustration Of popular novels.
She calls attention to the methods of
the artist who illustrated enc widely
and Justly popular romance, the time
Of which was supposed to be some
thirty years ago, and made the hero

vintage of 1901, while the hero's Of
fee was lighted by an electric light of

expresses the opinion that pictures of
this sort do not add to the happiness
CT the discriminating reader.
It IS a question, to begin with.
whether pictures add much TO the
pleasure afforded by a really good
novel in any ease. Certainly they do
not unless the artist be both skiIlful
and sympathetic It IS not enough

The unmarried individual
amounts to almost nothing says
Prof. Z. Benjamin Andrews, chan
ccIlor of the University of Nebras-
ka. The professor admits that a
single persons life Is not wholly
devoid Of opportunity to do good,
but says that they are necessarily
led into a very narrow path of ex-
istenee.
The professor does not allude spe-
eifcaIly to the condition Of cid
maids; perhaps he thinks that the
fault Is not theirs. He should re
feet. too, that the condition Of bach
erlorhood Is also sometimes imposed
by circumstances. A man may never
chance to meet with a woman whom
he would care to marry; on the
other hand the woman OF MS choice
may refuse him. The man or wo-
man, too, who sacrifices his or her
connubiaI inelinations 10 ether ties
Is perhpas not wholly undeservng
OF consideration.
Then the professor, albeit by title,
a master OF learning. appears to ig-
more the fact that the men who pre-
served through the Dark Ages the
precious stores of Christian and Pa
gan knowledge were the monks of
the Roman Catholic Church, who
are forbidden TO marry. But for

THE SHOWER

The sky is clear the earth, aglow
With fTebrands from the sky-god hurled;
The very breezes seem to blow
furnace blast On swelte7ing world.
Heaven lends no offer of relief;
And yet the remedy is there
The blue dry as harvest sheaf,
Hath copious u1oisture-gTain to spare.
Lookl see the vane yonder spire!
The wind hath sudden changed to east;
4 film Of mist is floating higher;
The waves below are 1ashed to yeast!
Up from the west the dark cloud looms,
poTtent that the IS on;
The east wind 'gainst the zephyr dooms
The sky to wrath; the sun is gone
The unseen moisture of the air
Is challenged by the windy fray;
Its mastering forces everywhere
As west allies 'gainst east display.
Is its musketry engaged,
And thunders forth its lannon's mouth,
And flashing fast its swords enraged;
The combat spreads from north TO south.
The east troops scurIying Ger the ground,
The west allies are cIambering higher
And 'twixt them fTowns the battle mound
And blazes with its sheets Of fire.
Down pelts the musketTy of rain
In haste to smite the scurIying foe
Which yet urge Oh their rapid train
With air of GOODNESS they go.
The fusiIlade is siIenced now
The swords Of flame are sheathed, at rest;
Heaven turns to earth smiling brow
The sun serene shines in the west
And now, the vanquished cloud,
The rainbow banner eastward streams;
That pledge to mankind erstwhile vowed
Of peace and mercy sure, it CLEANS.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, it's nut
riment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses OF
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine Of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purlfes
the blood, and makes you feel buoy
ant and vigorous. You can get this
reliable remedy at KsufmaDn's Drug
Store. Get Green's Special Almanac.
