Women Who Leave Yesterdays Behind.


One of the strongest forces for good
in this world is the woman Who has
strength Of mind enough to put the past
resolutely behind her and take up the
future Cheerfully.
Women cannot often do it. Their ten
dcncy is To cling to the past. even while
the memory of it breaks their hearts
They brood over hours that can never
come back and events that can never he
altered: and if there is one loophole by
which they can find way to blame
themselves or another for what hap
pened. they are certain to hunt that loop
hole out and take an extra pleasure in
the added pain. Reproach seems like a
balm to their souls.
"Oh, if it had only happened otherwisel
II or some one else had done differently,
| might have been! 1t might have beenr'
That is the unceasing cry of many n
woman's heart. She does not know that
things could possibly have been other-
wise, but IN her anguish she tells herself
SO.
Poor soul. If some one could only
make her see that she is doing the worst
possible thing by hugging these regrets
to her bosom. Let her remember that if
She did the best she could she has no
reason to reproach herself Even if she
did make mistake, no power on earth
can bring back the past IN OFuef tnat
she may rectify it. Tears and sleepleSs
nights of despair cannon undo what has
been done. 1t is gone forever
But--and here. and here only is relief
from her miSery-there is an attitude Of
nina which can bring the greatest posi-
BILE good out of even our worst blunders
or our saddeSt misfortune. To those who
accept the past. who sincerely deplore
their mistakes and resolve not TO repeat
them. there comes, if they will let it. a
consciousness of a power working cter-
naly for good which can make all things,
even griey0us errors. work to some wise
end. Some people call it philosophy and
some people religion. Either way. il is
the one salvation of heart driven almost
to madness by regret and self-reproach,
One occasionally meets rare woman
who has suffered deeply. but whose face
is calm and cheerful as the morning and
her character an inspiration and Il source
of strength TO everyone who knows her
She has not forgotten her past. Oh. no,
Nor has she tossed il lightly as thing
Of no meaning. What she has done is to
school herself to accept il as unatera BILE
to trust confidently that some good will
come out of il. and to do the best she can
in the present. Thus her saddeSt mis-
takes have become rich experience
Such a woman was George Elint's "Ro-
m0la." that noblest of disappointed. suf-
fering women.
Leave your yesterdays behind. accept
today as a rich opportunity for right liv-
ing. and tomorrow will bring strength and
JOY of its own.-Phiadelphia Evening

One Woman's Experience

I am tempted by reading of other peo-

with the provis0 that they start in life
without debts. My husband and | began
our married life on So, and house rent
included, or SIS week, counting the rent
at SIS a month. which was a good rent
for the house like ours. Was it a pleas
ant road? No, not for the first eight
years, but very happy one because
we really would not have lived without
one another.
How did we manage? This is my an

my people as well as his were well-to-dO
business people, my mother taught us To
make the best of what we had on hand
and let nothing spoil, not even potato;
while she always kept a maid. she was
at the head and always knew just whai
was in the larder. That schooling. with
my Creator as guide, made many rough
places easy. We made many an extra
dish of one potato, beaten egg, a little
milk and -four with salt and pepper, or a
luncheon of lettuce salad. potato pie
made of diced potatoes, milk, salt and
pepper and as large lump of butter as
we could afford. baked in usual pie

Postmaster General Payne's Death.

From the New York Herald.
The death of Postmaster General Payne
as the result of heart disease, although a
foregone conclusion in view of his last
days of suffering and his repeated sinking
spells, was attended with many incidents
which proved the power of some of the
newer remedies for this ailment in pro-
longing life and mitigating the impending
agonies of dissolution. The value of car
diac stimulants judiciously administered by
skillful medical attendants was signally
demonstrated in repeatedly restoring a
tagging organ to new energy and giving
new hope to his many anxious friends
Sadly enough the relief was destined to
be only temporary, as the heart itself was
diseased beyond any hope of repair and
was destined in time to exhaust itself by
sheer inability to pulsate, in spite of the
artificial excitement induced. Under other
circumstances there might possibly have
been chance for rallying his fading en-
ergies and of giving him a new lease Of
life
