are fusSieSt about living are frequently
the men who do not pull through.
XenOphon noted this fact more than
g3OO 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: II have observed
this, o men. that as many as desire
to live by all means in military" af-
fairs, these for the most part die cow
Rrdly and disgraced. But as many as
recognize that death is common and
necessary to all men. and strive to die
%honorably, I see these, by some means
or 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 10 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 CT happiness so
hard as to smash the drum. The truth
is, only fitness for happiness brings it.
A man never caught it by running after
it. 1t Is a rainbow, with its pot Of gold,
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
man who has aimed for something
higher. Think nothing about happi-
ness: only put your best into each
day Of life.
The same thing holds true Of repE-

MANAGING FARM

very much more ground in a field
100 rods long than in one 20 or 40.
Yet the majority of fans are fensed
into small fields and worked without
any system, so that occasionally
fields most distant from the buildings
are in cultivation, requiring a great
loss Of time going to and from work
1t is great economy to have the
cultivated land near the barn, and
in as large fields as possible, turn
ing the more distant land into perma-
nent pasture
Then rotation of crops suited to
the land should be established and
each crop is grown each year the
work is greatly simplified and plans
can be laid so that the losses so COM

throughefailure to get work done at
the right time, will not occur.

o'clock this morning before Judge

Some ideas of the vastness of the

may be gathered from the fact that
every year this nation exports 1887,

HIT A WOMAN
FINED ten DOLLARS

Ten dollars for hitting woman
was the only punishment inflicted
upon John Jacobs, a travelling man,
small enough to forfeit after being
arrested yesterday.
The woman struck by Jacobs is
Mrs. c. a. Moore. who travels in the
interests of a hotel advertising con-
Germ.
Jacobs struck Mrs. Moore in the
hotel lobby at the Hotel Spokane,
knocking her down with vicious
blow after AN alteration.
One or two bystanders jumped to
the assistance of the woman and one
man grabbed Jacobs and choked him,
but the majority stood aloof and of
fereJ no assistance to the woman,
who fell hard on the tile floor.
The trouble and assault grew out
of Mrs. Moore's charge that she had
been grossly insulted by Jacobs. The
latter denied being among the group
of travelling men who are said to have
been standing in front Of the hotel
Thursday evening when Mrs. Moore
passed.
Mrs. Moore soundely berated Jacobs
Friday and yesterday she again. ac-
costed Jacobs, who was sitting down
near the main entrance, in the lobby
Mrs. Moore continued her scolding
until suddenly Jacobs arose and
struck her twice.
The first blow knocked the woman
against the pillar and the second one
knocked her at least five feet away.
A few hours later Mrs. Moore Sc
cured a warrant, but half a dozen
travelling men interceded for Jacobs
and by hard lying, in which they de-
clared Jacobs had only pushed Mrs.
Moore away, succeeded in getting him
out on $40 bond, which he forfeited.

II Is quite possible that some Of the

but even when all allowance Is made,
Il is evident that the revolutlonists in

that they are meeting with unexpected
success is also evident from the fact
that Strikes are spreading all over
