HOW TO BE HAPPY.

Many of Us miss the joys that
might be ours by keeping our eyes
fixed on those OF other people No
one can enjoy his own opportunities
FOR happiness while he is enYious Of
another's- We lose a great deal Of
the JOY Of living BY not cheerfuIly &C
cepting the small pleasures that come
10 us every day. instead Of longing
and wishing for what belongs to
others We do not take any pleasure
in our modest horse and carriage, be
cause we long for the automobile OF
victoria that some one else Owls.
The edge is taken OF the enjoyment
OF our own little home because We
are watching the palatiaI residence Of
our neighbor. We can get no salts
faction out OF a trolley ride into the
country OF a SAN on river steamer,
because some one else can enjoy the
luEuEy Of his Own carriage or yacht
LIE has its fulI measure Of happiness
for every one OF rs, Il we would only
make up our minds to mike the very
most Of ever. opportunity that comes
our way fnstead OF longing for the
things that come cur neishbOr's way.

REvvINe AN ANCIENT GOSPEL

Rev. Charles Wagner, the author Of
a book entitled The Simple Life is
now visiting this country for the pur-
pose Of giving our people further light
on his theories in the lectures which
he proposes TO deliver. The new COS
pel-thst of the simple life-is in
truth very old. The Roman satirists
pleaded for the simple life and dashed
the luxury Of the day. As far back as
we can 90 in history We ind the same
doctrine elOquently preached And it
could hardly have been otherwise. For
the very moment that man became
conscious that he possessed a soul.
or a spiritual nature. he realized that
his true life was not dependent on the
multitude Of his pOssessiOns-rather
that it was cramped and fetteTed by
them.-IndianapOIis News

WAR IN WINTER TIME.

Many great battles have been fought
IN the snow, Eylau and HOhenIinden
being familiar examples. Austerlitz
was fought in intensely cold weather
and the Russian losses were increased
by Napoleon turning the fire Of his
artillery on the frozen lakes over
which the Russians sought to retreat.
IN our civil war Fort DonelsOn was
captured in February, Fredericksburg
was fought in December. Stone River,
Dec. 81. 1852, Jan. 2, 1853, and Thomas
defeated and ruined Hoods army at
Nashville on the 18th and 18th Of De
cember. 1864. Hence It viii be seen
that history does not warrant US in
believing that the war in the east will
pass into an unofficial truce when the

HABIT OF EATING TOO MUCH.

AIarge and steadily increasing num-
Der Of men and women have reached
or are reaching the conclusion that it
is vastly more difficult to avoid eating
a great deal too much than to get
enough to eat. The late Abram S. He
witt once ventured some remarks on
this subject in a discussion Of the
living wage showing that one who
needed or desired TO could live for
very much less than 1t cost the aver
age wage Garner to feed himself. For
this he was much ridiculed by some
and rOundly abused by others. He
was perfectly right, but unwelcOme
truth has ever been accounted heresy.

RIOT AMONG JEWS
ON ATONEMENT DAY
Socialist Disregard of Re-

Trouble Among 1900

London. Sept. 2O-The Day of
Atonement was marked in London by
serious rioting in the Jewish quarter
OF the East End. over two thousand
Jews engaged in a disturbance, and
nearly three hundred police had to be
called out before the disorder was
quelled.
The trouble arose over the action Of
conforming members of a Social
Democratic Jewish Club at Spital
Fields situated in the heart Of dis
trict containing about 10000 Jewish in
habitants. The Socialists openly par
AIDED, in disregard of the fasting in
junction, and made a celebration with
wines at the club house.
The Orthodox Jews were angered
and surrounded the club house and
stoned it. The Socialists threw bot
ties at the crowd, and soon the two OF
three narrow streets in the vicinity be-
came checked by a fighting mob.
Ambulances were called out and the
doctors had many minor cases to at
tend TO. Finally the police quelled the
disturbance, cordoned off the streets in
the disturbed area, and made several
arrests. Excited groups OF Orthodox
Jews, however, continued to parade the
streets and soheheuaeosefslrvcv
streets and the houses of several
Socialist Jews were stoned.

The battle which resulted in maim-
ing the three was fought at No. 2O4
West Fifth street shortly after 8
o'clock last evening. When it was over
the police found William Green and
the woman lying on a bed with blood
flowing freely from their wounds. The
victor of the battle made his escape be-
fore the bluecoats arrived. but was cap
tured later at Sixth and Market streets.
According to statement made by
Lewis Green, the woman who was cut
is his wife. He had not been living
with her for some time he said, and
upon receiving a message from her ask
ing him to call he did so last evening.
Green says as soon as he entered the
room William Green sprang at him
with knife and cut him in the arm.
He drew a pocket knife to defend him
self but denies cutting the woman. VIII
liam Green's left side was a mass of
wounds. some of them six inches in
length. The blade Of the knife the pris-
oner welded was broken of in the fight.
