The Secret of Happiness.

The man who can drill his thoughts,
so as to shut out everything that is
depressing and diScOuraging and see
only the bright side even of his mis-
fortunes and failures, has mastered the
secret of happiness and success. He
has made himself a magnet to draw
friends, cheer, brightness, and good
fortune to him. Every one is pleased
to see him. His presence is like a
sunbeam Oh q dull day.
There is no accomplishment, no
touch Of culture, no gift which will
add so much to the alchemic power Of
life as the optimistic habit-the deter
mination to be cheerful and happy no
matter what comes to us. 1t will
smooth rough paths, light up gloomy
places, and melt away obstacles as the
sunshine melts snow on the mountain

MY PINTO HORSE AN NE.

Out on the lonely prairie, drinkin' the
cool night breeze.
Watchin' the bright moon steerin' her
course thro' the starry seas;
Alone with the sleepin cattle an
thoughts O the used to be,
Nor woman nor filly to tempt us-my
Pinto horse an me.
Ny Pinto horse was happy till he met i
filly one day
That swore to be his forever an, latter
~, galloped away;
An so, there's a-somethin' to bind US;
that's why we'll always be
BunGies till death comes between us
my Pinto an me.
We whisper each other our stories-the
tales O the loves we knew;
But We never say nothin' to hurt EN-
the gals we considered ontrue-
For we know the pair as won 'em was
better fellers than we,
An we're chewin' the weeds o silence
my Pinto horse an me.
If you've won an lost a woman, dom
buck an kick an rare,
But shake the dross O the city an strike
for the open air.
Strike for the Godmade prairie-if
you're wishin' to be free.
Come, live on the plains O Texas with
nay PinD horse an me.
