SMILE AS YOU GO.
Everybody Loves the Man with .
shining Countenanoe.

Brighter than the most brilliant Of
gems, electrifying with radiance that
does not dazzle 80 much as II calls
forth reflection OF brightness, is the
shining countenapcc.
The soul Of each man Is sun Of In
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shine!
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine life!
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps Of fear and evil, center them
on the ideals Of faith and love. on good
intentions for others, and your counte-
nance Is at once illuminated.
Look In a mirror, and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolye your
self of all troubles, be peaceful, be
still, cease all your repining; then your
countenance will shine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by Il change OF
thought suggests what power there is
I'm a renewed habit of thought, habit
created by repeated conscious repose-
full efforts Of calm, concentrated think
ing in line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by bright thought, but the whole
body. The atoms are so many vortices
of ether and the central force of each
Is the mind.
A shining countenance Is smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile, you will laugh with joy, be-
cause OF life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach them easier if you will but smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad, and your love for 9TH
ers Will show this so. This is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance The mere fact of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions of duty, the conclu-
sons OF biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days,
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such man will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter of life; he
will intuitivcly grasp the meaning of
things; he will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he will be re-
ceiyed as the Son of Man, n true exem-
plar of his race, Il leader in the evolu-
ton of humanity; he will be an encour-
ngement and az incentive to all.
A shining countenance is first of all
an immediate phenomenon expressive
of the proof of right thinking, and the
same source of this illustration con-
tains the potency of completely chang
ing character, body, surroundings, of
influencing the person, the community,
the race, of issuing forth from its in
finite, solar center great stream of life,
giving out more yigor, raising the whole
realm of existence to the higher plane.

ADime for Honesty.

y St. Louis rag peddler who found
a roll of bills and restored the same
to the owner was rewarded with a
cold-blooded word of thanks and the
offer of 10 cents. Some people put a
low estimate on honesty. 1t is easy
for such people to forget, if they can
know, that man who is honest is
pretty apt to have fine feelings.
To offer to reward an honest man
is to insult him. His honesty is not a
commodity for sale or lent. To esti-
mate the value of mans honesty at
10 cents is to be more insulting still.
Everybody knows that a mans hon
|esty is worth more to him than are
all the dimes and dollars in the world.
To pay man for the time and
in the interest of another is well and
good. But honesty pays itself.
The man who has honesty though
no money, is rich; he who has money
without honesty is poor. This is a
hacd fact, which every man might
apply to his profit every day of his
life.
The man who has honesty has
about all there is in the world worth
taking out of it with him. For in it
are embraced all the good qualities
of mi nd and heart. And all this is to
be est mated at 10 cents!
Little wonder that the poor rag
peddle-, knowing the quality and the
value of honesty. scorned the paltry
offer anil considered himself insulted.

To Stop the Slaughter.

There is bill before the general as
sembly of Illinois to prohibit pigeon
shooting from traps. The slaughter
of pigeons by marksmen under the
guise of sport" has been subject of
much comment for two or three
years. Since there has been so much
noble work done in behalf of dumb
animals in the forming of humane
societies and in organized effort to
defend the rights of bird and beast,
there has been much forcible argu-
ment put forth against the killing of
pigeons just for sport" Ralph
Urine, director of the American HUI
name Education society, says that
one form of brutality is sanctioned in
several states-the shooting, tortur-
ing and mangling of live pigeons from
taps. He says: 'Shall we legalize
bull fights, cock and dog fights for
the idle pleasure of the brute element
among us? The better sense in every
community instantly cries out No
Then why permit this great source of
torture, suffering and brutality to re-
main legalized and unchecked?r
1t is to put an end to this torture
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-04-23

of live pigeons from traps was intro
duced in the Illinois Legislature. No
one who studies the subject can fail
to see the torture and brutality in
the sport" The pigeon, like the
dove, is rather typical of love. 1t fears
harm from human hand less than 9TH
er birds. 1t futters near the human
hand, fearing not that its life will be
crushed out or blown out with explo-
sives. And yet pigeons are cooped
up and held to wait their turn to be
penned up in traps of death, release
from which means instant death or
torture. Can any man who considers
the subject conscientiously say there
is not cruelty and barbarity in the
''sport?''

coal On no other day this session
has the chamber been so crowded as
it was when the aged and physically
feeble Missourian was speaking. The
mastery address was evidently in
great part extempore, and perhaps
for that reason was all the more
forceful and effective.

FINDING MANY PEARLS
IN VICINITY OF BURLINGTON

According to reports clam fishers
in the vicinity of Burlington and New
Boston are not only finding the shell
business profitable in itself, but the
quantity of pearls they are finding
means excellent wages for them.
Sam Stone is perhaps the luclliest in
that neighborhood, says a Burlington
paper, and he estimates his find this
spring at about 5000. He went to
burlington from New Boston shortly
after the ice went out and commence
ed his fishing near Burlington. He
stated that the finding of pearls was
about all luck. as last year he found
only two small ones. while this year
he has been finding all kinds of them.
He expects to leave shortly for St.
Louis, where he claims there is a bet
ter market for the pearls.
The government commissioner of
fisheries has made a report of several
years careful investigation of the
clam shell industry in the western
rivers. He claims that clam beds
were found 81 feet in depth. Not
withstanding the fact that thousands
of tons have been taken from the
beds, there still remains an enormous
supply beneath the waters of the Mis-
sissippi. The CLAIMS which have been
taken out were merely the covering
of large beds many feet deep. 1t has
been estimated that at the rate they
have been dug the past five years it
will take at least 20 years more to
entirely exhaust the supply.
