A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drnnbard.

A great deal depends on the point OF
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in Il very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment OF the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups,
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years / was great SUI
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that found l could not lie
down. but walked the floor whilst 9TH
ers slept. I got SO nervous could not
rest anywhere. -
specialists told me I must give up
the use Of coffee--the main thing that
l always thought gave me some relief.
consulted our family physician. and
he. being a coffee fend himself. told
me to pay no attention to their advice.
Coffee had such a charm for ME that
in passing q restaurant and getting a
whiff Of the fragrance I could not re-
sist cup. felt very lenient toward
the drunkard who could not pass the
saloon. Friends often urged me to try
Postum, but l turned deaf ear, say
ing That may do for people to whom
coffee is harmful, but not for me-cof-
fee and will never part
AT last. however, I bought pack
age of Postum. although I was sure l
could not drink it. prepared it as d.
rected. and served it for breakfast.
Well. bitter as was against it, must
say that never before had I tasted a
more delicious cup of coffee! From
that day to this (m0re than years. l
have never had desire for the old cof-
fee. My health soon returned; the
asthma disappeared. / began to sleep
well, and in a short time I gained 20
pounds in weight.
"One day | handel my physician
the tablets he had prescribed for ME,
telling him had no use for them. He
stayed for dinner. When passed him
his coffee cup he remarked, I am glad
TO see you were sensible enough not
to let yourself be persuaded that cof-
fee was harmful This is the best cup
Of coffee l ever drank, he continued;
the trouble is so few people know how
to make good coffee When he got
his second cup I told him he was
drinking Postum. He was incFedn-
lous, but l convinced him, and now he
uses nothing but Postumsin his home,
and has greatly improved in health"

Russia's Sunken Treasure .

An engineering publication states
that the cost Of one OF our battleships,

probably cost, ready for action, about
the same. In view of this fact, 1t

How PRAYER Helps.

We all know that good life and a
humble testimony to the goodness and
faithfulness of God have very great
influence for good on the minds of all
who see and hear; but how does prayer
help? In the first place, prayer, il 1t be
true prayer-an earnest and confident
appeal to God for the blessing sought
has a wonderful effect upon the charac.
ter of the person who offers it. Such
prayer brings the petitioner into close
fellowship with God and opens his
whole nature to the influence OF the
Spirit Of God; and by so doing fits him
to become a jealous and effective wit
ness for God.

Lakewood's Recreation.

Polo is one of the most interesting Feat
ures OF the season at Lakewood. During
tournament play Mr.. George Jay Gould,
who has arranged the most perfect polo
course in the country upon his private. es-
tate, throws open to the public. the privit-
eges OF the grounds. Trap shooting, tennis,
cycling, golf, horseback riding, boating and
occasionally ice boating serve to round
out very attractive list of diversions that
are generally enjoyed, and to these are OF
ten added bowling tournaments and skat-
ing on the fine ice OF Lake Carasaljo:
It is on account of its exceptional Local
ton in the healthful pine belt of New Jer-
sey, at distance of only sixty miles from
New York. which has made Lakewood so
popular. There IS no other winter resort
within anything like its distance from the
metropolis which can offer so mild a cli-
mate or so wide range OF outdoor recrea-
tions and social pleasures. The hotels at
ford accommodations on every scale from
the most magnificent 20 the most modest.

interest to anyone seeking an ideal spot
for fall or winter vacation. This booklet

are fussiest about living are frequently
the men who do not pull through.
Xenophon noted this fact more than
g300 years ago. In the Anabasis, we
recollect, when Clearchus and other
leading Greek Generals had been slain
In the tent of Tissaphernes through the
bad faith of the Persians the Greek
army, in the heart of the enemy's
country, was greatly discouraged.
Then Xenophon addressed the army
in words like these: Il have observed
this, o men. that as many as desire
to live by nj, means in military af-
fairs, these for the most part die COW
nrdly and disgraced. But as many as
reco gnize that death is common and
necessary to ali men. and strive to die
nonorably, see these, by some means
OF other, arrive at old age, and while
they live live successfully"
The same truth applies to happiness.
Counters and shelves are crowded with
books on happiness: "The Art of Hap
piness," How TO Be Happy"-count-
less titles, ringing the changes on hap
piness. The pursuit of happiness is the
quest of the day. Many people are
pounding the drum of happiness so
hard as to smash the drum. The truth
is, only fitness for happiness brings it.

that must come to us, and come when
we are not expecting it. The happiness
seekers are the happiness losers. The.
man who achieves happiness is the

higher. Think nothing about happi-
