CHEER up


Enjoy yourself while you can. "
said the late Bill Nye, for you will
be dead long time"
Optimism is life. The man who
scowls at his fate habitually, who is
forever drawing about him shroud
of gloom is slowly but surely killing
himself Without the sunshine the
flower leads pale and sickly life.
Neither will human kind blossom
and gladden. itself and it's fellows
without looking upon the brightness
of things. Therefore
1t is your duty to cultivate cheer

all to yourself, and second, to others,

emphasize them? Compare yours
with those who have ten times your

all
Don't pity yourself.
The man or woman who gets into
that state of mind is lost. 1t is the
last stage of the disease called pes
simism.
AS to others:
About you are those who have

give them hope. Because
Cheerfulness is contagious.

cities of its class, but because every
city stands in need of the moral up

special religious effort.

That sentiment is awakened and
fostered by the Christian religion.
But this man Broughton is making
bad start He gives the public to
understand that he is in receipt of
letters threatening to run him out of

and it is in reply to these threats
that he delivers himself of the dia-

TRAINING FOR SUCCESS.

Fathers and mothers handle their
children in very different manner
AS a rule mothers soften their chill
dren with endearments and rescue
them from discipline. Fathers are
not so lenient, having rubbed against
the world.
d. There are two schools of opinion,
not well defined perhaps, but none
the less in existence, about the proper
method of training youth to sustain
the shock of battle IN life and escape
strong and victorious.
Some are for the hardening pro-
cess. Throw the boy into the
stream" they say, land let him
swim for it; the way to teach one to
bear hard knocks is by experience
with hard blows, and if he is ever to
amount to anything he must fight
for his life
The defenders of the hardening
process can point to the fact that the
over-solicitous parent who follows
the chlld's foot steps endlessly and
takes care that the winds do not too
sharply blow on him, who stands be-
tween him and all responsibility,
acts for him and does his thinking
for him, finds that the most carefully
nurtured and closely guarded young
man is without the capacity to act
alone because some one else has
been acting for him, and fails la
mentally to stand up under the
weight of responsibility and care
when finally he meets it.
On the other hand, there is the
newsboy who was thrown into the
city street, aged 4, to battle for for
tune, and later became a college
president; there is the bootblack
who became railroad magnate and
owes thanks only to his stout heart
and quick wits; there is the home
less country boy left destitute and
friendless in his tenderest wears.
who succeeded in winning fame and
fortune.
The other side of the picture where
boys have lacked parental care and
guidance is not open to the casual
gaze of the world, but may be
studied in every house of correction,
reformatory and Jail.
Young men and women, it is true,
will never learn to be strong in
character from hearing lectures on
right living. They must have the
practice and learn by doing. They
will never learn to be strong if some
one else does everything for them.
The sure way Of winning an ath
letic contest is to train for it, and
the best training possible for life is
none too good.

THE WORD "NlCKNAME."
Il Had Its Origin In the Old English
Word "Eke."

IL Had Its Origin In the Old English
Word "Eke."
The word nickname has its basis in
the old English "eks," an addition or
prolongation, as used In 1.-THE Mer-
chant of Venice" "'Tis to piece the
time to exc it and to draw 1t out at
length" Beekeepers still call wood
en- cylinder added to hive to increase
its capacity an "eke," and we speak
of eking out an income.
A nickname, therefore, is an exc
name or one added, which gained its
present form through the transfer of
the IN" of the indefinite article used
with it from its proper place to the
front of the noun. Thus IAN ekename"
became first "a nickname" and then
"a nickname"
There are some similar cases In Eng
llsh of which the word newt" Is an
example having been originally IAN
ewt" Sometimes the IN" has left the
word and become attached to the arti-
Gle, as in apron, which was in olden
times a ''napron," while "a nauger"
has come down to us as ian auger."-

Christian people of Jacksonville

Such is the language of a message
sent by Rev. Len G. Broughton of
Atlanta through the press to the
faked-up enemies of his proposed
revival meeting in Jacksonville.
Rev. Broughton is a professional
evangelist of the sensational school.
He has been engaged by the minis
terial association of Jacksonville to
hold meetings there this winter and
great temporary tabernacle is to be
provided for his use. 1t is expected
that he will be able to start a tidal

SNAP SHOTS OF The
Some of the Inter WORLDS a Visit to the EXPOSE
Briefly A II ths Globe %

Never was the United States gov
eminent so deeply interested in an ex-
position as it is in this 1904 Worlds
Fair. Already the governments in
vestment has reached the S11 100000
mark, and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which were
paid out of the insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One of the interesting government
exhibits is the great map of the
United States, worked out in growing
crops, each state being represented
by crops chiefly grown in that state
This map covers six acres of ground.
One who has not seen the map may
have an idea of its immense size
when he is told that Illinois on this
crop map is rs feet long. The bound
airy lines between the states are
gravel walks and the Worlds Fair
visitors stroll at will through the
states, and receive simultaneously a
lesson in geography and agriculture
The largest timepiece in the world
is at the Worlds Fair, and may be
seen on a slope on the north side of
Agriculture Hill. The dial of this
great clock is 112 feet in diameter.
The frame work is steel, of course,
but it is so covered with flowers that
it appears to have been built entirely
of flowers, and for that reason it is
popularity known as the floral clock. y

Worlds Fair surpasses anything that

other international exposition The

daily in the Gulch. Mark Twain and
Artemus Ward, in the early days,
made Hank Monk and the old coach
famous by their vivid descriptions of
the celebrated ride.
The landscape of the Worlds Fair
is a feature of diversified beauty. 1t
embraces hill and valley, plateau and
lowland. In the Cascade region alone
more than 100000 brilliantly colored
Towering and foliage plants are used
in the creation of the Rainbow Gar
dens. More than 100000 plants are
used in identifying other sections of
the grounds All of the main avenues
are delightfully."- shaded with rows of
silver naples, and in several sections
there are great groups of forest
trees that ever afford delightful
shade.
The largest engine in the world is
an exhibit in the Palace of Machinery.
This monster with power equal to
that of 5000 horses, occupies a space
in the center of the great structure,
and towers 35 feet in the air. 1t is
as large as an ordinary three-story
house Altogether the engines devel-
op a power of $4,000 horses At the
Chicago exposition ten years ago,
which more nearly than any other
similar enterprise approaches the
present in magnitude, the greatest
power developed was 10000 horse
power.

More than thousand native Filipi-
nos are living in the 40-acre Philip
pine tract at the Worlds Fair. Their
homes have been reproduced in st.

those left behind in the Pacific archi-
pelago. The Filipino colony en-
braces representatives from many
tribes, and Americans and Europeans
will be interested in seeing the sub
jects that Uncle Sam acquired with
the Philippine islands, and in learn
ing of their lives and habits.
Besides the native villages, the
Philippine commission, which has ex-
pended nearly $1,000,00O on the exhi-
bit, has erected replicas of many of
the most famous buildings on the is
lands. Several bits of old Spanish
architecture are sure to delight all
