KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.
Not Only When Things Go Well, but
When You Meet Disaster.

To be cheerful when the world is
going well with you is no great virtue.
The thing is to be cheerful under dis
advantageous circumstances. If one
has lost money, if business prospects
fail, ii enemies appear triumphant, if
there is sickness of self or those dear
to one, then is it indeed u virtue to be
cheerful. When poverty pinches day
after day, month after month or
through the years as they pass and one
has ever to deny self of every little
longed for luxury and the puzzle of
how to make a dollar do the work for
two has to be solved, then the man
is greater hero than the soldier who
faces the lannon's mouth. Such cheer
fulness is the kind that we need to cul-
tivate.
To acquire this self command we
need to think of many things. We
need to guard against giving way to
irritation about little things. If we can
maintain self control in small matters,
we shall have less difficulty in main
tanning it when great matters are to be
met. II we meet with irreparable
losses, we must readjust our lives to fit
the new conditions. There is no great
evil so bad but that it might have been
worse. Let us congratulate ourselves
that the worst is not yet. There is
truth in the saying that every cloud
has silver lining" Though it may
for time look so dark we can see nc
CLINT of the silver, yet we know it is
there.-Milwaukee Journal.

The uHuntsman.s Gun.

The "huntsman's cup or pitcher
plant, is conceded to be one of the ear
lest, if not the earliest, of the wild
flowers of America to become known
to Europeans. References occur in re-
lation to it as early at 1870, when a
Lisbon physician named Launanus
sent it to contemporary as the leaves
of the frankincense tree. 1t appears
that two sailors brought the curious
leaves with some resin from the pine
trees growing near, and I.aunanus sup
posed they belonged together. Much
confusion occurred and much wonder
ment was expressed as to what curious
tree with such leaves could be found
in America giving such ''sweete odoure
when the gum was burned" and,
strange to say, most attempts to clear
up the mystery resulted in greater OBJ
scurity.

Here's puzzle that puzzles everybody.

multiply the result by five, add to it
the number Of living sisters, multiply
the result by ten. add to it the number
of deaths of brothers and sisters, sub

her, she said. that II she would devc,s
herself to suffering humanity they would
sustain her and aid her so that she would
have the power to cure the sick and COM

She arose from her sick bed with her
life work cut out for her. She was only
16 years old, but all her girlishness and
pleasure-loving nature were put aside and
she went into her work with steadfast-
ness of purpose that soon won her the
love and respect of not only her own peo-
pie, but the Yaqui Indians as well.
She practiced what the poor people call
her miracle working with such success
that Indians and Mexicans generally
looked upon her as having superhuman
powers. They credited her with curing
evil afflictions OF mind and body. In
short, the powers ascribed to her by her
adoring people were unlimited while her
unt1ring efforts to elevate them morally
as well as help them physically made her
sought after far and wide.
Then, with much ceremony, she was
canonized" by her devoted followers, the
YaqW Indians and Mexican poems, and

Influenced by malicious stories about the

mite time from the home Of her birth, and
