PRAcTIcED HIS PHILOSOPHY.

IAG SUuAu see IN
Humorous Aspect.
Thank goodness for clothes-line !"
exclaimed Eric Gordon, fervently, as he
and his wife were putting the finishing
touches on a week of packing, prepara-
tory to moving out of their house.
That's what the Thurstons would say.
Did you know they call that room they
live in their 'one-room fat? When all
the chair and tables are full, they stack
things in a corner and say, Thank
goodness for a fiOOr!
Mercy ~ said the tired-looking young
woman who was resting for a minute
on packing-box. How do people live
SOP"
"Adaptability to circumstances and
the knack of turning the humorous
light on things. They have a mighty
good time-all owing to their phllosO-
ply. Now isn't it better to rejoice over
your thoughtfulness in forgetting to
pack this clothes-line than it would be
to lament because we've lost that trunk
strap" He tipped up trunk, and pro-
ceeded to rope it stoutly as he went on:
IF we can acquire the habit of being
amused by things which nag most peO-
pie; If we can learn to enjoy lying
awake when we can't go to sleep; If
we can look on the noise which dis
turbs us as a kind of music"
$50 easy to preach !" murmured his
wife. Eric, do you know that it's 60
ing on midnight? Mother will repent
having asked us to sleep there If we
don't come soon. o Eric, do you know
you've left out that vase on the trunk
behind you"
YES; / couldn't find a place where
1 dared pack it. I'm going to carry it
in my hands,"
"The idea! You think more Of that
vase than of everything else we own !"
Maybe. It's our choicest possession,
1 guess" He glanced admiringly over
his shoulder at the rare piece Of glass.
Then he asked, abruptly. How am
going to cut this rope? want to put
the rest Of it round that box, and John
Blake has walked off with my knife"
"And everything in the house that
might cut is packed, and everybody in
the neighborhood is asleepr
Don't you suppose there's any sharp
edged thing lying around?"
I'm afraid not" she answered, du-
biously, and together they made fruit
less tour of the rooms
Il might gnaw it." hazarded Gordon,
humOrously, picking up the rope and
trying to break it. As he did 80 his
foot slipped and one arm flew out,
striking the cherished vate behind him.
With a lunge he reached for 1t, only
to give it a blow that sent 1t crashing
into fragments on the hard thing Of
the hearth.
20 Eric!' gasped Mrs. Gordon, and
waited for him to say the rest.
There was a half-minute of silence.
Then, with grim twinkle, he picked
up a jagged bit Of the beautiful rain
bow-hued glass.
Thank goodness for something to
cut this rope with" he said, quietly, be-
ginning to saw the clothes-line apart.
There's nothing more to pack now,
Dolly, and we can get right over to
your mothers and have a good nights
sleep."-Youth's Companion.

"BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"
How = Pretty Old Story Is Misread
and Mtsinterpreted.


When a lovely woman weds a rich,
coarse, cruel man, the cynical modern
observer exclaims, Beauty and the
Best" The characterization is a wick
ed misleading Of one Of theiloveliest of
myths, a story as fruitful Of wisdom
to-day as when it sprang out Of the
early life of the world.
Beauty was a good daughter and
brave woman. Her father lost his for
tune, and she set herself to serve him.
When prosperity promised to return to
him, she begged a gift OF roses rather
than Of jewels or laces When he
again fell into trial, was captured BY
the Beast and forced to promise one
