and for virtue ON the rack and in ire
dame.
1t is will that has cleared forests and
tunneled mountains and traversed
seas. It is will that many time has
made the soldier fight with a strength
and majesty that scattered his foes
like chaif before the wind. 1t is force,
1t is speed, it is inventiveness, it is
persistence; it maketh the feet like
hart's feet. and the arms to break even
bow Of steel. Be assured that no one
can yawn himself into success, or prog.
ress, or moral force If we want our
life to be anything better than grass
upon the housetops, wherewith the
mower filleth not his hand, nor he that
gathereth the sheaves his bosom: il
we want to be, will not say mere ath-
letes-which is quite possible for us
to he by having bodies without either
minds or souls-but to be wise and
good, and to have the temper of heroic
hearts, to strive, to seek, to find, and
not to yield, then we must put some
fire, some force, some vividness, some
pertinacity even into our efforts. The
nature which is all wood and straw is
of no use; If we are to do well, we
must have some iron in us.
But, after all, it is in the moral
realm. which lies so close to the intel
lectual. that the greatest and most
blessed trials of the will are won. It
is on our will that the conduct OF life
depends. 1t is our will alone-by the
help which God always gives-which
can put barrier In the path Of our
impulses; which can force choice
upon our actions; which can call In
the aid of right habits, and thus save
us from life's worst perils and secure
us from its most terrible temptations.
We can train, we can strengthen, we
can evoke the will.
The ship Is not so absolutely under
the guidance of very small helm, as
our whole life may be under the con-
troll OF firm will guided by an enlight-
ened conscience. Just as the muscles
are strengthened by exercise and be-
come weak by inertness-just as the
intellect is polished by attention and
rusts by laziness-so the win is edu-
Gated by being brought into force. BY
doing we learn to do; by resisting We
learn to resist; by obeying the reason
and the conscience we learn to obey,
until we are saved from becoming
either the victims of vain delusions or
the slaves of passionate impulses; we
build resolves on reason; our lives be-
come a series of right acts built on
true principles; we secure a calm and
tranquil empire over ourselves; our
souls become holy temple, and duty
and power and will and moral thought
fulness are its pillars OF jasper and
adamant.-Dean Farrar.

Lonalna.

OF all the myriad moods OF mind
That through the soul come thronging
Which one was Ger so dear, SO kind,
So beautiful as Longing?
The thing we look for, that we are
For one transcendant moment
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished IDEAL
And Longing molds in clay what life
Carves In the marble real:
To let the new life In, we know,
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench 1t. that we may be still
Content with merely living:
But, would we learn that hearts full
scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing
Ali let US hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread his ways,
Eut when the spirit beckons-
That some slight good is also wrought
BEYOND self-satisfaction,
When we are simply good In thought,
Howe'er we fall in action.

The Hanolnu Jars.

A very neat scheme, having for its
object the utilization of all the space
in the kitchen closet, has been re-
Gently placed on the market in the
shape of hanging jars which are de.
signed to occupy the space under the
shelves and in this manner making
use of both sides Of the shelves avail
able and nearly doubling their stor-
age capacity. These are designed fol-
such materials as rice, sugar, salt, cof
fee and similar commodities. The ad
ditional advantage OF this scheme, be-
sides the economy Of space. is that the
contents are protected from moisture,
dust and insects.
There are several sizes of these
Jars and two styles Of fixtures--one by
one the jar is suspended from the
under side of the shelf and the other
by which 1t is hung on the wall To
fill them, the jars are removed and
turned upside down which brings the
mouth to the top. The metal head is
then unscrewed in the same manner
as that of a preserve jar, and thus it
is filed. The top is fitted with valve
operated by knob, and when the jar
is replaced the contents will flow
therefrom by their own weight, when
the valve is manipulated by means of
the handle. The work Of filing one
receptacle from such as sugar bowl
or saltceller is done without exposing
the contents of the jar to the con-
taminating action Of the air OF the
kitchen.

Door Drapery Design.

It comes in the original stained glass

all sorts Of art-glass patterns. When
used for door panel the material is

overdraped with silk, as seen in the

center pieces in them are as popular
as ever.--Will J. Rudesill in Los An

His mother was about to offer a

So the mother finally gave in. On
Saturday The Boy went down town
to exchange his coupons for prize.
When he came home the family was
gathered at the dinner table talking
about him.
Come, dear" said his mother,
SHOW mama what her little boy got. +"
They sat expectant while the boy
unwrapped his prize. After little
they spoke The mother said, "Ohl
oh! OH" and the father said, well,
I'll be blessed!"

Still another change has been
wrung on the ever-present coat hang
er, adapting it, in the opinion OF the
inventor, to multiplicity of uses
which in actual practice are never
realized. In addition to the familiar
hanger with shoulder pieces, there
is a second shoulder piece depending
from the first. This design has the
merit OF permitting the utilization of
closet space to better advantage, as
the height OF the closet is rarely filled,
while the depth is always crowded.
Another feature is the wire support
across the lower shoulder piece, in.

ACTRESS QUEER CAREER.
Miss Louise Willis Woke Up Fa
OILS,

Miss Louise Willis, who is appearing
in the role of the flirtatious widow in
Henry w. Savage's big production of
"The Prince of Plsen," has had a
decidedly interesting career on the
stage. She electrified New York a
few seasons ago by taking at a mo-
ments notice, Anna Held's place in
a big musical production managed by
Oscar Hammerstein when that man
agcr controlled the New York theater.
Miss Held in a fit of petulance over
some fanCied grievance refused to
go on and Miss Willis played the part
and awoke next morning to find her
impersOnatiOn the talk of the town.
Later she was engaged by Klaw and
IGrlanECr for the part of Jack in Jack
and the BoanstalI." Then she visited
Australia, playing the Salvation Army
lassie in THE Belle of New York, '
and also played this part in London
where she was later highly praised
for her work in "Dick Wilmington. +"
She has the distinction of being the
only woman who ever played the part
of Humpty Dumpty in the famous
patomine of that name at the Drury
Lane threatre, London.
She played the part of the widow
during The Prince of Pilsen's" five
months run at the Shaftesbury thea

engagements were ended Manager
