The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1906-01-05

There are some little foxes that run
in some of our ways and spoil our
vines. There is in particular a little
Spanish fox who is one of the seemingly
harmless ones; he is beautifully kept,
his foxy fur is soft and long, and he is
quite tame, and comes to us often at our
lightest call, and even eats from our
hands. But his very tameness, and the
frequence with which we call him to US
makes him one of'our subtlest and most
dangerous foes. His Spanish name is
"Manana, and we call him TO morrow"
Daily will he call to Us If he thinks him
self forgotten, for we have petted and
spoiled him. But much better will it be
for us to hang his brush on the wall, a
trophy of his pursuit and capture, and
make of his soft fur a boa for our necks
and so prove ourselves for every day and
all the year, the mistress of the occasion.

So if "Women's Ways" are ways OF
peace, if they are ways of consciousness, if

placed by the best there is, direct from
this infinite storehouse of treasures; aud
so | think, we can bring to others in
just the proportion that we can discover
for ourselves these best things in the

Very likely most of us have played at
the game of hiding things in plain sight.
Children will hide trinket, ring, any
thing where the eyes cannot help seeing
il, and then set others to search (and Of
ten the search is a long one,) for what is
not hidden at all. Only recently ] spent
nearly a morning in searching for my
own rings, and found them, several hours
after hopelessly giving up the task, on
the tube of an atomizer, on a sitting
room round table, in the most prominent
place in the room, and where had look
ed repeatedly.
A ray of sunlight found them out, and
they we're discovered"
And so, also, suspect it is with many
a pleasing quality, many a beautiful
thought; they are in our plain sight, and
yet we search and grope for them until
finally ray of sunshine shows them to
US.
And so, also, suspect that the loss OF
paradise consists at least partly in the
blindness of the human eyes, in the
thickness of the human brain, in the
dizziness of the human perception.
The daily care and fret if we let it, be-
fogs our vision, dulls our sensibilities
while all about us, and around us, and
before our very eyes are hosts of the
beautiful thoughts which are beautifully
called angels.
An infinite storehouse of treasures
awaits our awakening, and all We need
do is to become conscious of the Presence,
open our eyes and see, open our ears anC
hear, open our souls and know.

n Greeting.

With the whole glorious new year be-
women to unfold. So before we are able
to influence for the better they with
whom we come in contact, we must first
show in our own selves the better things
we wish reflected. The "simpler life
should be more than passing fad, or
are we so intense that the pendulum
must swing to extremesY But surely if
we daily practice deep breathing, high
thinking and plain living we will pre-
serve the best of it all, and conserve for
ourselves a store of energy for these bet
ter Things.
Say to yourself with the beginning,
right now, that you are going to consider
all your troubles as an education for your
mind and soul; and that out of the eXpe-
riences which you have passed through
you are going to build, and are building,
a noble and splendid character.
Do not tell me you are too old.
Ignore years and they will ignore you.
If you will study your own spirit and
its lmitless powers, you will gain a great
err secret than any alchemist ever held; a
secret which shall give you whatever you
desire
Think of your body as the silver jewel
box, your mind as the silken lining, your
spirit as the gem. Keep the box bur
nished and clear of dust, but remember
always that the jewel within is the pre-
cious part of it.
Think of yourself as 90 the threshold
of unparalleled success. A clear, glor
ious year lies before you! 10 a year you
can regain health, fortune, restfulness,
happiness!
Push on! Achieve, achieve!

Ottawa March 19,-That the Ottawa
Base Ball association intends to be a
factor in the race for the Northern

1t is scarcely necessary to inform
Northern League fans that Daley is a

last season nailed the pennant for Mont
Barre by great work in handling
