COULD NOT BUY HAPPINESS.

When you yearn for wealth and think how fine
it would he not be compelled to reach the store
or office at a. m, don't forget that riches without
the spending ability, without the capaity for enjoy
ment, lose their charm in short order.
One John Tedlman died recently in Llano, Texas,
miserable and rich. He became suddenly wealthy
through fortunate investments, and found himself
in possession of $l2, 900 month income. He tried
to have good time He didn't know how and his
attempts were almost pathetic. He changed his
clothes four times day, bought jewelry that he
didn't care for. and thousand things that palled
on his taste almost as soon as he had purchased
them.
He might have travelled, but he didn't care for
travel. He might have bought fine books but
there was no literary side to his nature He was all
ordinary man. with ordinary intelligence. and an
income ten times his wants. He was always follow
ed by horde of mendcants, among whom he scat.
tered his gold. but he had very few real friends,
people who liked him because OF his good qualities.
You see. happiness that lasts the kind of joy that
STAYS with mankind is not for sale You can buy
temporary pleasure, sometimes but peace and con-
tentment-rea happiness-is not measured off with
the golden yardstick With wealth, It. with pow
ertv. there must be wisdom. for without it comes
mental misery, and the sight Of riches only aug
ments it, And after John Tediman had tried H.
vain to buy happiness. after he had flung to the
winds million. he died, and on his pillow was
found paper bearing these words: Everything Is
nothing but love-

MORE OF DOwIE's TOMFoOLERY.

John Alexander Dowie the Chicago Zionist has
barred these: Santa Claus Jack the CANT Killer,
Mother Goose, and Little Red Riding Hood He
says they the curse of the world, and that the
children of Zion must not hear about these "lnta-
nous characters Of the story books.
Alexander Dowie is not fool, but it is charata-
bic to believe that he is demented.
Mother Goose" never hurt anybody. She has
been the children's friend for years She is part
of baby life She has soothed millions of little
folks to sleep. Do You remember how mother
used to accompany Little Red Riding Hood"
through the woods for you? She told you that
story thousand times and you never tired of it.
Your little head used to pop out of the crib and
You 4 say, please tell it again"
And when Little Red Riding Hood had reached
her grandmother's and had come face to face with
the wolf, mothers face seemed far away, and you
slipped into dreamland, while a dear woman tucked
the clothes around YOU, pressed kiss on a cheek as
soft us Il leaf, whispered mothers precious, =
and left YOU.
According to Dowie that mother is perju-ed be-
ing, liar -ot fit to have children, person who is
wrecking the moral lives of her children. What 5
the Use Of arguing? 1t is wonder that any one
can have patience with this fake" prophet in
"Zion."
The mothers Of the world know what is best for
their children. They have been teaching them
love and generosity and charity with Santa Claus
stories for centuries. They have been pleasing and
interesting them with simple tales Of the magma
zion, and they have reared good SONS and good
daughters, millions upon millions Of them, without
removing from their lives sentiment and romance.
Santa Clause will live when DOVE is gone. and
Little Red Riding Hood will still be calling on her
grandmother when the wheels of the Chicago crank
have ceased to rpvove.
1t is a wonder that Dowie does not issue procla-
nation against saying Little Pigs Went to Market
on babys pink toes, for pork has been barred from
Zion.

REFORMING THE HOG.

The national department Of agriculture has lots
of money to its credit and is probably justified in
undertaking big jobs The latest is that it will try
and reform the hog.
1t is the theor3of the department that the hogs
heart is in the right place that in his pristine con-
dition he was of exemplary habits. hut that he has
fallen from grace.
1t is contended that the neglgee appearance of
the modern hog and his slouchy manners are the
suit of both heredity and environment. For genel-
ations the hog has been wallowing in his own con-
ceit and other things Gross appetites and sloven-
" toilet have caused loss of self respect.
The hog is to be given another chance. The I'M
feeling advice to root hog die is to give to
altruistic experiment The hog is to be rehabiii-
tated High bred pigs are to be put into clean sur
roundings with all the accessories Of higher stand
ard of pOrclne living.
So far so good Unfortunately for the expert
ment however in portion of the enclosure there
is to be the sty of the fathers with its swill and
mud holes and all the sordid entcements Of the
world, the flesh and the devil
1t is the theory of the agricultural experts that
the hog under these surroundings and improved
educational facilities will eschew the mud and
cleave to the higher life That is where the experts
will be disappointed
Is the hog superior to Adam? And did not our
forefather fall at the first temptation? As the
Scripture saith, the will return to her wallow
and so well these cultivated pigs. They are built
that way.
The primitive hog may have been an intelligent
fellow of Clearly instincts and persuasive manners
but like man he ate the apple and fell. and great
was the fall thereof The cleanest hog in America
will backslide into the mud.

ARE BABIES BECOMING EXTINCT?

Those who read the daily papers of the great cities
are becoming impressed with the fact that in city
life today there is little place for babies.
Landlords prefer to let houses to families that
have no children to do damage to the property and
annoy the neighbors. Apartment houses are gener-
ally closed against the little ones. Dogs may be ac-
cepted, but not children.
The applicant for place as janitor, steward
coachman or any of dozen other places Of domes-
tic service may he allowed to have wife and per-
haps bring her with him for service, but the mahog-
any doors will not swing open to servants children
The poor widow who is forced to make the living
for herself and little ones finds them a barrier
wherever she turns.
All too often. every day, do the customs Of city
life turn the children Of the poor from blessing to
a curse and an insupportable burden. All too Of
ten are parents that love their children dearly as
the rich love their own forced by harsh necessity to
place them in institutions desert them. and
when the cause is sifted to the bottom the fault is
found to be less with the parents than with the
senseless and heartess customs and conditions put
upon them by those who easily could if they would,
change it all.
And the most pitiful part of it. from the broader
viewpoint, is that the word is suffering lack Of
development of its best material for future manhood
and womanhOod
1t is to the children Of the poor that the world
has ever looked for the best in the future For the
yoke of servitude changes necks. 1t is nature :
great equation for the preservation and progress of
the
One of the greatest crimes against mankind is
committed when home is broken up by outside
forces Lives torn loose from former moorings, ana
without chart or compass set adrift on cruel
sea- If they reach the harbor in safety it is because
of Gods hand at the helm.
The sea is black with rottng hulks broken in the
sunderlng OF family ties and the crushing of the
holy influences of home.
If the children of the citys poor are being DIS
eliminated against, must it not he said too. that
the children of the citys rich being eliminated?
The DEGREES of society render it inconvenient and
questionable to have Children and most Of the
great mansions know little of them. Babies are to
the home what sunshine is to the feIds-its life and
light. The prattle and lisp the laugh of pure JOY
and the patter Of the little feet make the real home
and represent its real purpose.

zone of the old favoritesJ.
The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and staunch he stands.
And the little toy soldier is red with rust
And the nuSket mOldS in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go till come" said he,
And don't you make any nOise!'
So toddling off to his trunde bed
He dreampt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little face.
And wonder as waiting these long years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there?
