But when the sunshine kissed it,
In just a little while,
It's blushing petals opened
And answered with a smile.
So often in life's trials,
When all the world seems cold,
One lone word spoken to us
Comes like this patch of gold.
Did you ever stop to think Just
how much you are Influenced by the
things you read, the people you
meet. the scattered opinions you
y hear?
And did you ever stop to think
that you yourself are a radiating in
fuence?
You direct to a certain extent the
moods, laughter, tears, emotions, of
those with whom you live and come
in contact. Could we know that we

we alone must bear the responsibility,
how great a trust we should deem
it, and how careful we would be!
Yet in truth we do far more than
this. Every one who approaches us
owes something of his character to
our influence and the effect does not
stop there. Like a magnetic current,
it passes on from person to an
other, and no human power of COM
putation can ever measure It's
strength or its extent. Think now
of those you knew when you were
a child, those who were kind and
good to you, whose lives were full
of love and gentle sweet goodness.
They left behind them a dove-gray
shadow of tenderest thoughts, which
come to. you again and again and
make you realize that it is indeed a
privilege to have been given a place
in this busy world.
Each new day with its opportuni-
ties is a fresh gift from the hand of
God.
Why not cultivate the grace of a y
ing agreeable things, even to the
extent of hunting them up and drag
ging them to the light when they
happen to be obscure? This power
to say pleasant things-true ones
is an accomplishment which is gen
orally overlooked, or left as a mere
worldly matter, to light-minded peo-
pie.

Women talk too much about their
troubles and their ills. In the mere
mentioning troubles grow greater
and are vastly harder to bear. After
stunning, heart tearing sorrows, the
sufferer fancies hal recovery to the
normal life is impossible. But there
is no one scarcely in all the world
who has not some ut to live for,
to comfort and to cheer. 1t is the
natural thing for griefs to gradually
become dulled, with time and the
one who fights against this natural
process of life, who prolongs her
sorrow by endless ~grieving, is not
only doing herself a frightful, wick
ed injury, but is casting a dull
gloom and shadow upon those who
are near her.
"The sunny side, the sunny side,
Let's always look upon it;

Than sadly to muse on it.

Republican references to Judge Parker
as a WAN street. candidate or as a

Judge Parkers attitude towards the
trusts is defined very clearly in de
cisions which The World has already
printed. In the case against the Blue.
stone Trust he anticipated by seven
years the decision Of Judge Thayer in
the Northern Securities case, which
was subsequently affirmed by the Uni
ted States supreme court
In this decision Judge Parker de-
clared emphatically that It made no
difference whether the trust aimed at
something reasonable or unreasonable.
THE law ASSUMES" he said, that any
attempt by a combination of persons
who get together to FIX prices so that
the community are made to pay more
than they otherwise would pay is
detrimental to trade and to the public
interests"
A president Of Judge Parker's recog-
nized character, who knew the law
and had taken an oath to uphold the
law, would enforce the law. There can
be no two honest opinions about that

Wall street candidate is equally ridic.

that their evil is realized by mea hwo

But Wall street as Wall street is not

but it will not desert it's old friend and
ally, the Republican party. 1t may
thirst for Roosevclt's blood. but busi-
ness Is business and watered stock Is
thicker than blood. OF the industrial

them count the Dingley tariff among
their most valuable assets.
