Mans Greatest Need /,

It matters not how well you plan
Or how you school yourself to say
That IL you try to smile you can,
When woe arrives joy fits away.
! It's easy when the skies are fair
And all your ventures bring you
And scorn lies little aches and pains.
But when your troubles multiply
And you are filled with futile spite,
The merits of smile seem few
And what you need is something you
To him who sings a cheerful song
III own that i am deep in debt;
scorn, when little things go wrong,
To sit in idleness and fret:
Iprize that sweet philosophy
When all the ways in front of me
Stretch onward smooth and wide and
fair;
But when my ventures come to naught
And disappointments make me sick,
All, how 1t serves to clear my mind
Some hateful thing to madly kick.
Let him sing on who gladly sings.
The world still needs him and his
But oh for some good. ready thing
10 fiercely kick when things go
q fair and noble monument
The grateful world will gladly raise
To honor him who shall invent
For use on gloomy, hopeless days
thing inanfmate and limp
,,Wntch always may be ready when
and may not freely put to use
The persons of our fellow men.

This system Is telling fast In send
Ing Belgium to the front as nation
OF Industrial magicians. Opportuni-
ties considered, it has already out
stripped England, and 1t is setting a
pace that Germany, with its keen at
tention to details, can not keep. The
lesson is that the greatness of a ma
ton is not to be measured by its size
In area or in population. but by what
1T does. The Belgians are doing things.
Another lesson Americans should
draw from this example is that the
public schools should quit trying to
turn out college professors and should
take up the work of training bread
winners. A boy that has to earn a
livelihood with his hands or his head
is not aided in any way by checking
his brain full of Greek. Latin or
iogarithms. 1t is better. by far, that
he should know how to turn a lathe
than to translate Homer or solve a
solution of an algebraic proposition.
Education is all-important, but there
is much humbug associated with it's
factories. Some of the most ignorant
people to be found everywhere are
among those who fancy they are ex-
ponents in the flesh of higher educa-
ton.

Col. Duline and the Calf.

[Garfield (Oreg.l Enterprise.l
One day last week we saw a cloud
OF dust sweeping past our Office.
Mixed with the dust was good-sized
calf running at splendid speed, and
on horseback Col. Duling was coming
a rafting good second. The calf had
broken away from herd Of cattle
and wanted to go home. Mr.. Duling
wanted to head it off-and in time he
did. The incident furnished us with
the. thought that the man who does
the most complaining about the har-
ness Of this old world is usually the
one who sits in idleness when he
should be up and doing things. 1t
success does not come your way, don't
complain, but go around and head it
off-like Duling did the calf.

STREET STORIES.

The late James H. Breslin, the
noted hotel man OF New York, believed
In courtesy as means of success.
NO matter how you are worried, how
you are provoked" he said to hotel
clerk one day, keep your temper.
Don't retaliate. To retaliate, to give
discourtesy for discourtesy is to lose
always.
II know a very independent hotel
clerk, who. after thirty years hard
work, is still only hotel clerk. This
instance will show you why.
"a gentleman. accompanied by his
wife, children and maid, descended
from cab and approached the clerk
one evening.
Il want. the gentleman said,' to
engage rooms
How many? What price? Look
sharp said the clerk frowning.
I'm not accustomed to this kind
OF treatment said the gentleman, in
dignantly.
DO you want rooms or don't you?
My times valuable said the clerk.
Look alive. Look alive
The gentleman turned to his wife
helplessly.
This beats ALL he said. Come,
my dear. Well go elsewhere.
And his party started out when the
Independent clerk. smiling and beam
ing, said:
One moment, sir, before you go,
You are the box Office man of the Star
theater, and when l came to buy three
tickets of you last night you treated
me just as l have been treating YOU
l have taught you your lesson. Let
us now cry quits. How many rooms
Is it that you desire?"
But the box office man glared at
the clerk and replied:
There was nothing to prevent you
last night from doing what I'll do now
that is, to go elsewhere. Good
evening""
Dallas Wexford, the English comed-
ian whose American success has been
SO phenomenal, described at the Play
ers club in New York the difficulties
that beset IL provincial actor trying
to get on the London stage.
All the great London managers"
he said, SAY to you, If l could only
see you act. 1t is rather mean of
them to say that, for you are in their
presence solely to get chance to be
seen acting and you desire in your dis
gust to play some such trick on them
as the painters played ON the old lady;
but you know how, in the end. you
would have the painters luck and so
you refrain.
Once. in the early summer, three
painters were painting the inside of
house in the country. Towards tea
time these painters began to wish for
something to drink. Accordingly they
put their heads together and the re-
suit OF their conference was that their
leader went to the mistress of the
house and said:
THE frames of your oil paintings
are very dingy, ma'am. Well clean
them for you if you've got any whisky
How much whisky will be needed?'
the guileless old lady asked.
"About a quart. ma'am,' said the
painter.
$50 the old lady brought to the three
painters quart of whisky and they
drank it up and cleaned the picture
frames with water.
ION toward sunset the old lady,
coming to inspect the frames, express
ed herself delighted with them.
oh, she said, they look beautiful.
And who'd have thought a quart of
whisky would clean so many? 1t was
lucky saved it. 1t was what wash
ed Fido in last Sunday"

NO oPALs FOR ENA.
Stone Has -,ec:, Unlucky to Spanish
loyalty.
From the Kew York Times.)

{ sEOy any
From the .Sew York Times.)
In reading over the list Of the young
king of Spain,s handsome gifts of
jewels to his bride, Princess Ena of
Battenberg, said to exceed 100000
in value, it will be noticed that among
all the precious stones-diamonds
pearls, brilliants, sapphires, etc.-no
mention is made OF an opal. The, opal
has always been considered an un-
lucky stone, and many instances have
been given of the ill-luck attending its
acceptance, but the noted Spanish opal
has brought SO many terrible catas
trophies in its wake that it is dreaded
by the Spaniards above all symbols of
ill-luck.
The opal was originally possessed
by Alfonso XII of Spain, and was high
ly valued by the king. Accordingly,
on his wedding day he presented 1t,
among other gifts, to his bride, who
was Mercedes, the daughter Of the
duke of Montpensier. She died. how
ever, shortly afterwards. and the king
not liking to see any of her jewels to
remind him of his loss, gave 1t among
others to his sister. Maria del Pillar.
Just before the funeral of his wife.
The kings sister died few days after
receiving the opal, and the king then
gave It to his sister-in-law. the Prin-
cess Christina, the youngest daughter
Of tine duke of Montpensier. and, to the
horror of all. she also died before three
months had passed.
The king was SO horror-stricken and
grieved at these strange occurrences
that he resolved not to give 1t TO any
one else, but to wear It himself. He
also died soon afterward. The queen
regent, broken hearted and afraid Of
the fatal stone. resolved that no other
human being should be influenced BY
its ill-luck, and, obtaining solid gold
chain, she fastened the opal ring to 1t
and hung 1t around the neck Of the
|; Virgin of Almudena Of Madrid. Since
that time none Of the royalties can be
persuaded to accept the opal, and nat
urally the people. always supersti-
tious. have been afraid even to look

TO MAKE PERFECT CAKE.
Mrs. Rorer's New Book Of Excellent
Hints and Recipes.

Measure or weigh carefully all in
gradients before beginning. Attend
to the fire; make sure it will be in
good baking condition when you are
ready for it. Prepare the tins. Either
grease them with oil or suet or line
them with creased paper. Do not use
butter; it burns and makes the cake
stick to the pans. Get out all the
necessary utensils"
Cake plays SO important role in
many American households, and the
American woman is so likely to be am
bilious for success in this direction.
