RIunders by NoxelIsts.

Noyelists, even of eminence, are
prone to make blunders. Sir W after
Besant, IN "For Faith and Freedom,
wrote after the Eykins had settled IN
Providence, 'Barnaby soon grew tlreo
of this quiet life and went on board
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him" This
was in 1GS6 or 1857, and the hrse
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1913.
W-ilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing plumbers. In '"The Duel IN
Herne Wood he makes the story open
with the receipt of a telegram, and the
period is 1877, when twenty years mao
to elapse before the first telegraph
wire was laid. Three of the characters
also talk of taking the express tram
to London in defiance of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888.

What I mean 10 say is just this:

1t is a matter of character ana css

els to>anv extent is sure to arrive at
this conclusion.
There is indeed, greater dissatistac-
tion to be read in the faces OF women
in a hotel dining-room at seashore
or mountain resort than in the faces
of women who emerge from shops
and factories at O'Clock in any OF
our large cities.
Yet the majority of these tollers
regard the woman who can travel ana
wear fine garments as favored by
the gods.
No woman is favored by the gods
unless she has cultivated cheerful
ness, appreciation, kindness and GOOD
will and sets forth each day deter
mined to be happy and to make hap
Diness for others.
Many a working girl could teach
her Weather sister how to enjoy
life.
In no home OF poverty did / ever
see unha ppiness so marked on the
faces of an entire family as on one
saw at hotel not many moons ago.
The mothers eyes were full OF
jealousy and ill-temper; the father
face was defiant and bitter with DIS
appointment; the son was d1sslpa
ted wreck of manhood, the daughter
restless, irritable, fault-fndins child
of misfortune.
Yet there were millions of dollars
being spent yearly for the ENJOY
ment" of this family
There was no love, no harmony, no
good will, no gratitude to God or man
in the hearts of these people.
Better crust of bread and a cup
of milk after day Of hard labor, and
love in the household and hope in the
heart, than such splendid misery.
The poverty of the heart is the
worst poverty on earth. Remember
that as YOU toll and pray for wealth
