Compensations.

There are two things in life
which people do not sufficiently
take into account. One is the
strange law of compensation, which
enables even the very miserable to
enjoy solaces and affiicts the So
called fortunate ones with imsgin-
airy unhappiness.
The other is that every ones
power of suffering is practically
equal, and may be truly likened to
cup which can hold just SO much
and no more, whether the troubles
which embitter it are great or
small; that is to say, person may
actually feel the utter depression
of misery as much about trivial
things about great misfortunes
Nay, more; for the latter often
bring in it's train the excitement
of grief, which gives strength and
fortitude, and arouses the fighting
spirit, so to speak, of our nature sc
that a sufferer will rise up and face
great trouble who will utterly sue
cumb to great depression of mind
caused by smaller ones. 1t otter
happens that a woman who hal
everything in life to make he
happy will actually be more miser
able than one who has had grea
Affections.
Circumstances may be unkind
but nature is ever healing

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
Good Fortune Didn't Epoil Lavona
Cushman for Wife.

Want to read about romance
that might have come from the
pages of a modern novel. and die
come from real life?
Consider yourself introduced tc
Lavona Cushman. of Nicholas
county, West Virginia. She taught
school and was very faithful. She
was handsome. too. graceful and
dignified. and people used to won-
der why LaYona Cushman didn't
got married. There were plenty of
fellows dangling about. What the
people didn't know was that there
was an old father and family to
he cared for. Somebody had to
meet the bills and pay the rent,
md that somebody did it patiently
m smilinRly. because it was duty.
Some months ago. an uncle died,
ieavlng her cool 100000 in gilt
ougeQ securities.
Popularity is mushroom. It
grows in a night. Miss Cushman
had new admirers by the score, and
offers of marriage came in clusters.
She could have had broken down
French count or an Italian noble,
penniless, of course She finished
out her term at school, and was
none the less a good teacher be-
cause she had large bank acconnt.
Now she is going to be married.
"Of COURSE" you say The fairy
prince of her dreams arrived, and
they are going to live in New York
and travel and see and hear every
thing that is to be sc en- aud heard =
But don't be too swift in your
calculations. She is going to
marry John James Gibson, who
conducts little store in a neigh
boring village.
She was in love with him before
the money came. She would have
married him poor. and now she will
marry him rich. The fortune
hunters never even tempted her
for she was true to her ideal.
There isn't any striking moral
to that. except that romance does
exist out of books
But isn't Lavona Cushman q
fine woman? And what a lucky
man is John James Gibson, with
out even thinking of all that
money!

Essentials of a Home

"What are the three essentials
of homer
An assembly of 500 women com.
prising the Social Economic club
of Chicago discussed this question
for half day last week and reached
no conclusion.
One oman said that the three
essentials are a good temper. a
good mother aud charge of the f.
nanoes' That raised debate. A
few urged that the man is the
head of the house. Others said
that the man and wife are joint
sovereigns. Each should have an
appropriation of the family money.
Another women said that the
three essentials are "a good mother,
good cook and a trained nurse +"
But said another, one nigh be a
good mother, cook and nurse and
very poor wife.
Another suggested that good
husband is one of the essentials
None of the women paid much at
tention to this suggestion. Either
they left the husband out of their
calculations or took him for grant
ed.
Late in the discussion a minis
ter who happened in was asked for
his opinion. He said, "a man, q
woman and a cook stove" And
these women applauded, not think
ing, doubtless, that man, women
and cook stove may constitute q
dive as we as home.
And now an exchange suggests
that it has the oCrreot definition
1t is this. "a man, woman, and
a baby" That comes ne4rer the
three essentials and yet it is open
to the objection mentioned against
the ministers answer The true
answer is simple one. Narrowed
down to three essentials the alb
solute ingredients are these:
