him caused much envy. Complaints
were uttered that under the existing
government nothing could be obtained
By any others than dancers and car

death of Lord Chancellor Bromley the
queen offered Hatton the great seal.

rhourhts Do Much Harm.

We should be appalled, if we could
see pass before US, in vivid panorama,
the wrecks caused in a lifetime by
cruel thought. A step here, a thrust
there, a malicious sarcasm, bitter
irony, ungenerous criticism, jealous,
envious, or revengeful thought, hatred
and anger are all going out constantly
from many a mind on deadly missions.
Servants have actually been made
dishonest by other persons perpetual
ly holding the suspicion that they we're
dishonest. This thought suggests dis
honesty to the suspected perhaps for
the first time, and being constantly
held, takes root and grows, and bears
the fruits Of theft. The old proverb.
"If you have the name you might as
well have the game" is put into ac-
ton many times. 1t is simply cruel to
hold a suspicious thought of another
until you have positive proof. That
other persons mind Is sacred; you
have no right to invade it with your
miserable thoughts and pictures Of sus-
nicion.
Many people scatter feGr thoughts,
doubt thoughts, failure thoughts wher-
ever they go; and these take root in
minds that might otherwise be free
from them and, therefore, happy, con-
f1dent and uccessful-Suvcess Maya
