FOR DISCOURAGED MEN

Cheer up! The world is taking
your photograph. Look pleasant.
Of course you have your troubles
troubles you cannot tell to the
policeman. A whole lot of things
bother you, Of course business
worries or domestic sorrows, it
may be, or what not. You find
life is a rugged road whose stones
hurt your feet. Nevertheless
cheer up.

WHERE MOTHER is.

Old-fashioned flowers with fragrance swee
Bloom where mother is,
LIES psalm, a song replete
With Joy, where mother is.
There all woes and sorrows cease,
Naught but rest and heavenly peace
Dwells where mother is.
The jostlng crowd, the wearing din,
Are not where mother is,
The Haunting rags OF sin and shame,
Reach not where mother is.
Heart-sick, brain-tired, nerve-wrecked soul
Before thy tear-dimmed eyes goal,
Exists where mother is.
All grief and doubt and unbelief
Flee where mother is
Hope and faith and sweet relief
Come where mother is
Mother. mother, name most sweet,
Heaven guide my weary feet.
Home where mother is.

Many birds cannot fly straight up.
They must rise at very gentle il,

before their wings can get full effect

taking the condor is to build Il pen,
say, forty or fifty feet in diameter and
six feet high and put a carcass in the
middle of it. The condor aiights, but
cannot again rise at an angle which
will take him over the fence. Many
heavy bodied, short winged ducks rise
from the water at SO small an angle
that they must use both feet and wings
for thirty or forty feet III order to get

81 dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princess restaurant in London
during the season." said a Chicagoan.
THE lofty, spacious dining yoom
was filled with women in pale gowns,
their hair uncovered and their arms
and necks bare, and though these
women were fashionable, aristocratic,
they smoked cigarettes with their
coffee as they watched the biscope
pictures that went on at one end of
the big room, and as they listened 10
the singing that went on at the other.
Amid all this feminine smoking
we Americans began to discuss and
to define the word lady Was it
ladylike to smoke? we asked. Would
a lady ever smoke? What was a
lady?
Il think Mr.. Gibson's definition of
a lady was the best that was given.
"A lady he said, ignoring the
smoke question altogether, is a wom-
an who always remembers 9th ers and
never forgets herself "-Philadel-
phia Bulletin.

"sam- Lewis Savings.

Sam Lewis, the famous London
m ey-lender, used to speak jocu-
larry of himself as lending to the
Lords and giving to the poor. The
death of his widow releases for chari-
table purposes the large fortune
which he accumulated by shaving
the notes of England's noble spend
thrifts. II was business from which
he derived more profit than praise
during his lifetime.
The world generally looks with
disfavor on its Lewises, yet In this
one case the usurer, whatever his
gains and his victims losses, per-
forms a great public service. If the
end justified the means, he would
need no other excuse, although his
practices were sharp and his terms
cruel.
Many of our American philanthro-
pists seek respectability and easy
conscience in the same way. Posi-
bly, 1t helped in Lewis mind to rea-
son that If It stripped the proiligate
and inefficient sons of titled fathers
the really needy would benefit from
money which would otherwise never
reach them.-New York World.

When this state is reached, to re-

tired horse with a big load. Every
additional effort he makes under the
lash increases his loss OF power to
move the load.

Pearls Are All The Rage.

The brilliant diamond has had it's
day. The modest, taerful pearl is in
the ascendency at Newport, and all
because Mr.. Leeds bought Mrs. Leeds
a pearl necklace while they were
abroad. Uncle Sam, upon seeing the
same, threw up his hands at the
Custom House and demanded $780,
900. Now all Newport is wild to
see the pearls, which are safely
guarded in the big burglar-proof
safe at the Leeds cottage. The neck
lace is more than passing fair. Never
were pearls of Cleopatra more per-
fectly matched. The arrangement is
Oriental, consisting of GO pearls
ranging in size from % to 40 grains,
the average being 32-all flawless,
white spheres and perfectly gradual

Oriental beauties without a written
or verbal order from Mrs. Leeds her
self. She does not believe in cast
ing her pearls before swine. New

In the railroad depots a man bur-

will dash blindly and madly in front
of engines, to the rear of trains and
between cars to reach his particular
destination. If trainman interferes
to prevent the passenger from throw

a degree of safety can be obtained

view of Trade" says:
Lower temperature brought out
much business in seasonable lines Of
wearing apparel and most reports
from wholesalers tell of the largest
volume of trade ever transacted
Shipping departments are limited in
activity by inadequate railway facili-
ties, and this difficulty is becoming
aggravated by the free movement of
grain and coal as the season ad-
vances.
In the leading industries it is i'm
possible to secure prompt deliveries,
even contracts for shipment during
the first quarter of 1907 being diff
cult to place with the steel mills, and
the long continued lassitude in pri-
mary markets for cotton goods has
been succeeded by an eagerness to
purchase that is advancing quota
tions.
New England footwear manufac-
