Practically al the ills to which the

another of the holy wells of England,

mersed in the water and held there
until the breath has nearly left his

But even this is not so severe as the
treatment which must be endured if a

Winter Dreams.

Still can I sometimes hear in dreams,
Around the caverned coral keys.
Chanting their mighty tidal themes.

Still see through mornings turquoise air
With outburst of some lyric COW,
The sunset breasted redbirds fare
From bough to cedar bough
Still catch from fields that CLEAN like
snow
(The sweet snow of that blossom zonel)
From urns gold centered. row on row,
The lily altar blown.
Still sense the symmetry Of palms
Their stately boles their pendant

The sudden storms, the vast blue calms.
Nights starless tropic glooms.
Ah. wondrous potency Of dream.

In winter thus to stir gleam

What PIeascs a Man.

Generally speaking, a man likes to
be told he is handsome, whether he is
or not. He likes to be told he has small
feet. This is tip for wives. There
is more virtue in pair of tight shoes
in keeping man at home in the
evenings than in all the Ten Com
mandments. 1t pleases a man to be
asked for advice. You don't need to
take it. Most men have advice to give
away, and they are always willing to
bestow it on women gratis. 1t pleases
a man for woman to depend on him.
This is the reason why many foolish
girls could get two husbands apiece.

VALUE OF A SUNNY SOUL.
Disposition More to Be Valued Than
Great Riches.

Great Riches.
The world is too full Of sadness
and sorrow, misery and sickness; 1t
needs more sunshine; 1t needs cheer
full lives which radiate gladness; it
needs encouragers who will lift and
not bear down, who will encourage,
not discourage says Success.
Who can estimate the value of
sunny soul who scatters gladness and
good cheer wherever he goes, instead
of gloom and sadness? Everybody Is
attracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives, and repelled by the
gloomy, the morose and the sad. We
envy people who radiate cheer wher-
ever they go and fling out gladness
from every pore. Money, houses and
lands look contemplate beside such a
disposition. The ability to radiate
sunshine is a greater power than
beauty, or than mere mental accom-
plishments.
