S a T 1 s F L e ID
By Tom Mason

L the modern world who had almost
everything that can be thought of. She
lived alternately in each of half a dozen
marble palaces, upon which had been
eXerted all the art and skill and ingenuity
that money could buy When she trav-
eled she lived in the handsomest private
car in the world, and her Yacht was more
luxurious than anything afloat.
She had only to express a wish and it
was granted Her jewels were unequaled.
The earth had been ransacked to add to
the pleasures Of her table. She had been
everywhere, and enjoyed just enough of
the intellectual without producing mel
anchOly. Moreover, she was young,
beautiful, in the best of health, and with
admirers by the score.
And yet this Princess of the modern
world was unhappy. The cause of her
unhappiness she did not know. There
seemed to be no reason for it.
So she summoned her three principal
advisers and requested of them a remedy.
Said the first: Your case. oh Prin-
cess, IS not unusual. Happiness requires
for its full enjoyment the law of contrast.
You are surrounded by everything that
IS pleasant, and have absolutely no
means of knowing how really happy you
are. This knowledge can be obtained
only by associating with those who are
worse of than you. BY the contempla-
ton OF their sufferings YOU will experience
a constant satisfaction III the thought
that YOU are so much better off than they
are. Ny advice, therefore, is for YOU to
leave your present associations and live
with the afflicted" "
Said the second: "Oh Princes, the
trouble with you is that you are selfish.
Those who are absorbed in themselves
cannot be otherwise than unhappy.
True happiness can be obtained only by
associating with those who are worse off
than you are, and by giving up your life
to make them happy. My advice, there
fore, Is for you to leave your present
beautiful quarters and live with the
humble, the lowly and the suffering"
Said the third. oh Princess. the
question which l have to discuss is too
sacred to talk about in public, so with
your permission we shall keep 1t strictly
confidential
To this the Princess agreed, and the
third day afterward she disappeared
No one knew whittier she had gone.
Everything was kept up in her absence,
just the same as if she was there.
AT the end of the year, while the three
advisers were wondering what had be
come Of her, she suddenly reappeared.
She was in the garb of peasant girl;
but her radiant face told her story.
AT last, she said, Il am happy. l
have lived for a year with the humble,
lowly and afflicted.
The first adviser sprang forward. And
was it not as l said:' he asked eagerly.
The Princess shook her head.
Then the second adviser rushed out
"Was It not as l said" he asked.
Again the Princess shook her head.
1t IS true" she replied, that l fol-
lowed your advice; but not for the reasons
you gave me"
Then she turned to the third adviser
1T was you" she said. For you
told me that where l have been l would
find some one who would love me for
myself alone.

Tale Of the Girl Who Got What
She Deserved.
= By Bill Burgundy.

Once upon IA time there lived i'll the
town of Segreganset II blonde. She
was slender, flexible, emotional and
worth seeing without a veil. Her
eyes were of an azure blue, her fin
gers tapered, her instep was high
and her name was Alphoretta.
Alphoretta was as high-strung as
concert violin and as graceful as
the weeping willow. Even when she
was all by herself she would sit on
the very edge of the chair with her
skirt wrapped under and her Shout
ders thrown back just as though it
was not the least bit painful.
There was nothing prosaic about
Miss Alphnretta. She was stick
Ter for high and lofty effects.
Every morning when the crystal
sunbeams peeped through the heavy
hangings at her window and bathed
the room in tender golden light,
Alphoretta would open her night
worn eyes, desert her pillow, make a
careful toilet and stroll into the gar
den where she would peruse Poems
of Passion mid dew-kissed datfodi 5
while her mother prepared breakfast
To the he-belles of Segrrganset Al
phorette was absolutely ungetatable.
They did not grade high enough to
segatiate in her class.
Every time one of them would
take il step in her direction she
would wave II red light. Fact is,
AlphOretta's aim was high. She
was not going to chance herself to be
landed by any man who was the
| tiniest bit commonplace.
| Deep down in the labyrinths of her
mind Alphoretta had planted an
| idea that some day she would be dis
covered, .wOOed and won by some
tall man brave and true. He would
| be the owner of vast estates, a yacht,
city mansion and Newport villa,
| He would be collector of priceless
works Of art and Connoisseur OF
| rare vintages. He would be leader
among men and defender Of wo-
men. His wealth would be unIimit-
ed and he would be liberal to fault.
He would be il Herbert Spencer in
| intellect, a James X Hackett IN
form and II Harry Lehr with the
women. His name would be Perci-
val or Reginald or Piedmont OF
something equally adorable 70 AL.
phOretta he would be constant and
true. Her wish would be his law
and her every within would be graft
fled. He would Surround her with
maids. secretaries and all that her
heart cOule desire in furs, frocks and
frills.
True. no man of that description
had shown Il desire to accumulate
AlphOretta. But she had bunch
that it was only Il question of time
when he would appear upon the
scene and lay claim to her heart and
hand. That is why she held out on
the local supply of gal-bait.
After spinning around in dream
land for a considerable spell Alpho-
retta settled down and married the
foreman Of n Guano Factory.
Moral: GOn never get more than
is coming to you.

LOOKING GLASS REFORM.

4 certain rich man has his home
lined with mirrors. He is not n
crank. He can afford the mirrors.
And he believes they are educative.
one might almost ditferentiate civili-
cation from savagery by mirrors
and soap.
Some time ago a very clever story
appeared in one of the magazines.
1t told Of "A desk mirror given by her
pupils to public school teacher
wherein the teacher could look to
see how pretty she was when she
smiled aud how ugly when she
frowned The mirror, so the story
ran, transformed the teacher from a
grabbed and cross character to one
that smiled and became popular.
The story contains a truth. The
problem in making the world better
and brighter is to get people to see
themselves as others see them. If,
then, we could provide looking
classes at every turn Of life we al
most should be able to reform the
world
He who fumes and fuses and
frowns over his task, being provided
with An eyer-present mirror, would
he able 10 size himself up as others
size him. And he who gets drunk,
or otherwise makes an ass of him
self couId note the process and be
ashamed.
And she who is peeyish and sour
and sulkv might look and hate her

PLAY WITH THE chill
DREN.

In Il lecture before the Chicago
WOman's club some time ago, Prof.
McCIIntock urged that parents
should make business of playing
with their children in the evenings.
He showed the possibilities of
shadow pictures on the wall or a
game Of leap frog with pater famil-
ias as the stationary frog.
He said fathers ought to stay at
home evenings. He showed how
they could produce a screaming
farce for the kids by utilizing
mammals switch and converting
oneself into IA Chinaman. Or how,
by practice, the head of the family
might caprr about the house be
drcked in IA horse blanket and feath-
rrs, uttering betilnes the war whOop
of a Sitting Bull.
Why not? One of the child's
greatest needs is play. Surplus vi
tality Of the growing kidlets must
be worked OIL some how And the
more horse-play the less need for
discipline.
And this also is true: In most in
stances the father and mother would
b. better off for jamboree with the
children, ronp for relaXatiOn's
sake.
If great, big, dignified men condos
crnd to rough house in the lodge
and in the masquerading in tawdry
lodge toggery and fOolishness, why
not play Indian with the children?
Initiation night in every lodge af-
fords more or less OF opportunity for
the fun and frolic that ministers to
faded minds.
Why not stalk in mock heroies OF
make u fool of oneself at home,
where mamma and the children may
benefit by the harmless mirth?

SIZES HIM RIGHT.

When Jennings, last year, ordered
the state tax reduced to one-hali
mill, he did it for his own political
advancement, hoping probably that
it would aid his candidacy for the
United States senate. But it didn't
work. AS consequence the state
tax will be higher this year than il
has been for years. The present ad.
ADMINISTRATION had to do this to meet
the expenses Of the state government.

Diplomatic.

A British nObleman who was sued
for breach of promise declared to the
jury that 1t was impossible for him to
contradict a lady and that therefore
he would not deny that he had made
the promise, but be Insisted that the
lady had exaggerated the value of his
affections and that that value was a
fair question for jury. The lady re
covered per cent or so OF her original
claim, and the mulcted nobleman de-
clared that the cross examination of
her by his counsel was amply worth
the money.

BIG PROJECT AT LEEsBURG.

The meeting of citizens held in the
Armory Hall yesterday afternoon
was perhaps the most important
that has ever been held in Leesburg,
because far-reaching in probable
great results in good to this cOmmu-
nifty and this lake region country.
The object of the meeting was for
the purpose Of calling Oh the town
council by resolution to call an cleo
ton for the issuing of bonds for the
opening of broad canals up to Lees
burg from Lake Harris and Lake
Griffin. The meeting was largely
representative of the intelligence
and the property Of Leesburg and
the resolution was adopted by Il
unanimous vote. The scheme Of
opening these canals into the heart
Of the town, wide enough and deep
enough TO accommodate all lake and
river craft, and the opening Of the
Ocklawaha river to navigation from
the St. Johns river to Leesburg is
not experimental, but only requires
the energy and the money necessary
to put it in effect. TO those who are
familiar with the river navigation Of
former wears the plan is feasible aud
practical. That the results &C ruiz g
to the community from the pans
successfully consumatcd will be
greatly beneficial in the increase
of trade and the rapid building of
the town nearly all are agreed, and
it must be gratifying to every we'll
wisher of Lersburg to know that the
early completion of this important
work is practically assurred.-Lees.
