Managers Should Heed This.

the play?" asked the manager Of his
bride. who had been to rss, the great pro-

wanted changed"
And what was that, my pet?"
"Why, / do think It's horrid to have
them ring the curtain down and turn all
the lights up before you get your eyes dry
and the powder on you nose. If they'd
only keep the theater dark after these
sloppy plays it would be SO much more
becoming"

We wish a Happy New Year to 9TH
ers, not for its opening days alone, but
for all its days Inc al Its hours, even
to when the year is dying; wishes for
december as well as May, for May
as for January.
We wish that good which is ulti-
mately good, not hat present sweet
(which turns to bitter, but such fruit as
grows sweeter with ripening prosperity
and never knows decay.
We wish happiness, but mean more
than amusement. n even more han
pleasure. To be amused Is the need of
children, but the high intelligence of
man, needs more than amusement for
its satisfaction. So pleasure, If We
mean that which pleases, comes far
short of our best wishes. A child is
pleased with fire, and some poisons
please the: taste; indeed, many things
that please also harm, and things dis.
pleasing often bring ultimate bless
Ing. Happiness is more h amuse-I
ment or pleasure. It reaches deeper
into the inner life and is far more
abiding. Inward conditions determine
happiness rather than outward touch
es. To CAD about in search Of happi-
ness is like 4doctoring a blood disease
by skin applications. The source Of
health Is in the soul. Happy are the
pure in heart.
There is a picture in one OF the gal
leries Of Europe representing the final
Judgment Of all men. Among the many
figures on the Inv is one surely
meant to be, conspicuous. He evident
~ Is not a saint though he Is among
saints. A study Of his face reveals the
fact that instead of being happy he
is wretched. He is now seeking to get.
out Of that heaven into which former

sure he: would be happy could he but
reach the place. Now he has learned
that happiness is not a place, but a
state. Eden must be in the heart If
the fruits Of Eden are to be in the life.
