The Editor of The McCune Her
aid remarks: editing newspa-
per is nice thing. If we publish
jokes people say we are rattle
Drained. If we don't we are
fossils. If we publish original
matter they say we don't give
them enough selections, If we
give them selections they say we
are too lazy to write. If we don t
go to church we are heathens. If
we do go we are hypocrites. If we
remain at the office we ought to be
out looking for new items. If we
go out then we are not attending
to business. If we wear old clothes
they laugh at US. If we wear good
clothes they say we have a pull.
Now, what are we to dor Just as
likely as not some one will say we
stole this from an exchange. So
we did,"

Making Oneself Unhappy.

The people who have an aim in
life, something serious on hand,
are not the ones who are dissatis-
fled, and always want to be doing
something else, going somewhere,
or being entertained. Their pur-
pose gives them a center and
poise, and what is enjoyable to
them is what they are doing. They
are masters of their fate. They
make their own world.
But, as a rule people are not so.
They are reaching out for the little
frothy and simpering things, as if
there was something of real life in
them. Such I eople read nothing
but novels, always want to be see
ing something, to be around when
gossip and fun are going on. Put
them down to a steady work for
half a day, on something substan-
tial or useful, and their souls will
be in a tumult lest they miss some
thing and for this awful self
denial they will take three days of
gadding and wool-gathering.
1t is a fact that those people
who are so anxious about being
happy, and are putting in most of
their time at it, are the forlornest
persons in the world. They are
so uneasy when they are not hav-
ing an alleged good time that they
are a burden to themselves. The
only source of pleasure in this
world is good purpose steadily
pursued, and the soundest favor
one can do another is to get him
interested in a sincere effort at do
ing something useful and noble,
that he will give little heed to
shows, novels, cards and dawdling
about on the corners of curiority.
There are people, and especially
young people. who have so much
time on their hands that they have
most sorry problem of how to
use goodly portion of it. But
the solution is right at hand, for
if they turned their attention to
something real, something up'ift-
ing, they would find their grea est
trouble lack of time.

ANIMALS, ILLUSIONS.
The Horse a Prey TO the Terrors Of
Imagination.

Birds arc perhaps more common
ly the victims of illusions than 9TH
err animals, their stupidity about
their eggs being quite remarkable.
On one occasion, for instance, hen
got into the pavilion of ladies'
golf club and began to sit on a golf
ball in corner, for which it made
nest with couple of pocket hand
kerchiefs. But many quadrupeds
are not only deceived for the mo-
ment by reflections, shadows and
such unrealities, but often seem VIC
tins to illusions largely developed
by the imagination.
The horse, for instance, is one of
the bravest Of animals when face to
face with dangers which it can un-
derstand, such as the charge of an
elephant or wild boar at bay. Yet
the courageous and devoted horse,
so steadfast against the dangers he
knows, is a prey to a hundred ter
rors of the Imagination due to illu-
sions, mainly those of sight, for
shying, the minor effect of these il
lusions, and "bolting," in which
panic gains complete possession of
his soul, are caused, as a rule, by
mistakes as to what the horse sees
and not by misinterpretation Of
what he hears. 1t is noticed, for
instance, that many horses which
shy usually start away from objects
on one side more frequently than
from objects on the other. This is
probably due to defects in the vision
of one or o.her eye.
In nearly all cases of shying the
horse takes fright at some unfamil-
lar object, though this is common
ly quite harmless, such as wheel
barrow upside down, freshly felled
log or piece of paper rolling be.
fore the wind. This instantly be.
