LOST AND FOUND" COLUMN

Pronounced the Most Interesting
Part of n Newspaper.
An inveterate newspaper reader was
overheard to say the other day, says
the Chicago Tribune. after an hours
entertaining part of big daily is the
Lost and Found column. Some peo-
pie look at the sporting news. others
for the deaths and marriages, but lost
articles and other rewards are my par
ticular fancy. II you study these 1osts'
you will have a pretty fair idea of your
fellow creatures common sense and
their ability TO hold on TO what belongs
to them. Sooner or later the horseshoe
pin runs of with the hat pin. and the
cluster diamond ring disappears with
the pearl crescent. A popular elope-
ment is I'm the purse with jewelry, but
the lightsome fashion with which pock-
etbooks lose themselves in this sinful
world shows how careless mortals be
and that nobody ever learns anything
by another's dear experience.
"The rewards offered for missing
treasures indicate their value TO the los
er. Some are quite pathetically large.
others recklessly so. but n saving clause
is the laconic No questions asked and
then | feel the case Is truly desperate
and the watch chain and locket must
have departed under peculiar circum-
stances The lady who was seen to
pick up etc, Is another thrilling in
stance OF losers despair. for the
chances are 1t Is mere supposition. and
no lady picked up anything. Now and
then II is yellow headed parrot that
goes astray to vary the endless variety
OF dogs whose owners publicly sorrow
for their loss. About this live article
there IL always a sense Of tragedy. and
when I note found dog in the list
mentally congratulate whoever had the
kind thought to advertise it and thus
to put an end to the anxiety in its
home"

AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought TO BE
Linked With Happiness.

We are used to feel, TO put IL crudely,
that folks who have health and money
ought TO he happy. And so they should.
\ sufficient income promotes comfort.
and that contributes 10 cheerfulness OF
spirit. and TO have health OF course
means to feel well, and that is long
step toward feeling good. But how far
Do we have TO look TO find persons with
health TO squander and more money
than they know how TO spend making
strenuous efforts TO attain happiness
and merely achieving impaired health:
II you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure. but enjoyment is
different article. and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes: enjoyment cas-
lily yields II weariness. but you don't
get tired of being happy. and you may
be ever so tired and be happy still.
Happiness L. u state OF satisfaction
One reason why II Is so elusive may be
because we human creatures are
complication of body, mind and spirit
and require for our complete satisfac-
ton n particularly nice adjustment OF
blessings and of conduct. IL we in
dulge the body too much the other two
partners become mutinous; II we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and IL we bestow all our atten-
ton on mind and body, the spirit. ig-
nored, takes a sure vengeance on US for
our neglect. 1t Is so difficult so TO
measure and direct our efforts as 10
appease all the demands of our tripli-
cate natures that the simpler way is
TO regard happiness as byproduct.
give over all direct attempts to acquire
a constant supply OF it and simply ac-
cept however much CT il may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies in fair repair
II we are not too lazy or too self indul-
gent. II we have to earn our livings
our minds and bodies. too. find occupa-
ton that is usually wholesome. and
the discipline of work done, as II usual.
ly is. for others as well as for our
selves, helps 10 satisfy the exactions OF
the spirit.-Harper's Weekly.

low and sallow, and they feel tired and
woru-out all the time. In large pro-
portion of cases when women are weak.
rundown and falling off in flesh and
looks, the root of the trouble can be
traced to womanly diseases which under

this is that women who have been cured

notice of the Duke Of Clarence. after
