Madame de Balzac once declar-
ed that we should regard happiness
with that reverence which we
accord to religions, even when
we do not believe in them.
It IS a lofty conception of the pur-
ity and sweetness Of the sentiment
and it is one worthy to be remem-
bered Happiness IS so precious
and 50 rare a gift that neither heed
lesslessly nor wilfully should we be
tempted to shatter It's fragile and
ephemeraI beauty. 1t is true that
very few people understand what
real happiness means; they regard
and estimate it as a superficial thing
and treat it with the light-hearted-
ness they apply to all other enjoy
ments of existence. If a wider
realization existed Of what it sign
ifes to those who consider life in its
true and serious light, It would be
more often and more consistently
respected.
The capacity for happiness is
necessarily individual, limited by
temperamental demands upon those
things which destiny holds for us,
and on which she usually honors
our drafts. If mistakes are made,
or disappointment comes and the
realization falls short of anticipa-
tons the fault lies with us quite as
often as with that on which we set
Our hopes. In its true significance
happiness implies something so
much more than mere pleasure, or
even enjoyment, as to suggest /
clearly the higher attitudes of hui
man experience wherein it grows
and blooms. It changes with the
changing years, finding one ex-
preston in the heart of a child and |
another in that of manhood; yet
bringing to each the most beautiful
and perfect of ali the gifts that
Nature, the fairy godmother Of our
race, bestows.
Truly we s. ould reverence it as
far as human fallibility permits,
learn the lesson which teaches its
cultivation in our own minds, and
its promotion in the lives of those
with whom we are in touch This
is indeed one secret of Its acquisi-
ton. We may pursue it to
the worlds end, coveting it
as a purely personal possession,
to miss it after all is done.
Then, softly, while we are striv-
ing to bestow it on some other
heart that IS sorrowful, some other
life darkened by care and grief, its
creeps into our own nat
ure. and behold; It has come like a
benediction. And we will learn
even when it goes its radiant in
hence may yet remain to teach Us
how 10 say:
And now, tho clad no more
wear a face OF joy. because
have been glad of yore.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
city of Wilkesbarre and the Wyoming

floods. At Plymouth the entire bust

At Middletown between 700 and 500
houses were surrounded and could only
be reached by entering the second-story
windows, and many houses were en-

Summing up the situation in brief,
over $1,000,000 worth of property has
been destroyed in the Wyoming valley

Cali officials of the government. civil,

not only to observe the presidents pro-

war between Russia and Japan, but also
to abstain from either action or speech
which can legitimately cause irritation
to either Of the combatants The govern
ment of the United States represents the
people of the United States not only in
the sincerity with which it is endeavoring
to keep the scales of neutrality exact and

deplores the breaking out of the present
war, and hopes that it will end at tt e

smallest possible loss to those engaged

UNDER MILITARY CONTROL.
Normal Conditions Have Been Re-
stored at Springfield, o., After
Three Days Rioting.

Springfield, O., March 1.-THE race
disturbances which have terrorized the
town for the last three days as the re-
suit of the murder of Patrolman Coils
and the subsequent lynching of the ne
gro Dixon, who shot Coils, are held well
in check by the 13 companies of state
militia, and the authorities are of the
opinion that no more troops will be
needed to control the situation. Both
Chief of Police O'Brien and Sheriff
Routzahn believe, however, that it
would be a mistake to materially de-
crease the number of troops now on
hand.
There are unmistakable signs that
there is an ugly feeling on the part of
the men and the boys who have COM
posed the mobs of the last three days,
and the authorities realize that the shoot
ing of either white man or negro,
or even a street fight between men of
opposite races would be sufficient to start
the mob again on akilling and burning
expedition. The burning of a portion of
the levee and the vacating of several
other negro saloons and lodging houses
by their proprietors has only partially
satisfied the mob which was thwarted
by the militia in it's attempt to burn the
"Flicker's Nest" row. of buildings
formerly occupied by about so families,
but now completely deserted.
Springfield O., March 12.-After an
other quiet night and every indication
of order yesterday, the withdrawal of
part of the troops has begun. The
troops will return to their homes
gradually.
