BECOMING EMsITTERED.


Even though troubles seem to crowd
thick and fast around one and luck
persists in passing by, there Is no ex-
cuse for becoming sour and embittered
about It. 1t isn't of course the easiest
thing in the world to meet one dis
appointment after another and TO see
hopes rise only to fade away again,
and friends whom one has believed in,
prove false, and yet remain sweet
through II, but 1t is the only thing
that pays.
1t is bad enough to see man who
is cynical but a woman, WELL some
way 1t doesn't seem to befit woman
at all. No matter how much sorrow
she has had to look upon nor how
many time her eyes have opened upon
Establishments, she should still be
able to keep the faith which was hers
In the beginning. 1t is asking good
deal OF her, and the woman who either
thinks or feels finds 1T doubly hard
to do, but IL she fails II is only her
self who must pay the penalty.
There is no place for the woman
who is cynical or complaining. She
who would surround herself with
friends must remember that her
troubles must be met and fought out
alone Even those who are closest and
dearest are not willing to listen to
every little grief that happens to fall
to her lot, and strangers require much,
as the woman whose heart is so filled
with sorrow that she cannot make the
effort to be entertaining will soon find
out.
Friends are willing to share to q
certain extent, others griefs and trag-
sdies, provided 1t Is not required OF
them for too long a time, but she who

love of some dear one and refuses to

come out of it or to make any further
effort to lay aside her sorrow some
times awakens to the fact that she
is shut off from everyone and every
thing that she could once claim by
a barrier she has herself built. While
the woman who has fought 1t out alone
behind barred doors and struggled
with the griefs that were great enough
to overwhelm her until she has con-
quered, wins not only the victory, but
friends as well.
A woman whose first sorrow had
made a. coward of her was recently
complaining to a friend and pouring
out her woes in all their minutest de-
tails "Of course you can't understand,
she said You have never had any
trouble, so there is no wonder that you
are always pleasant and sweet, you
really have no excuse to be otherwise" "
and the woman who listened, who had
known what 1t was to have her hus-
band leave her for another, whose son
was so successfully evading the law
that even she did not know his where
abouts, and whose only daughter was
being cared for in an institution for
feeble minded children, said nothing
for she knew 1t would not be worth
her while. She was loved by everyone
and her society was sought by young
and old alike, though none Of them
knew her story. She had buried that
deep in her heart and when 1t became
too big for her she locked her door and
stayed away from her friends until she
was once more able to assume her
usual calm. g.. ..... ..
Such woman is worth while. She
who can go down into the deep waters
and come up from them cleansed, who
has fought out her fight and though
she has come out SCARED bears not the
signs of defeat, but of victory, is braver
than the general who leads his army
down to death before the enemy, for
she suffers the stabs every day that he
has to bear but once and yet dies un-
conquered.

and the sleeves bent over at the ell

the blame to shoes when 1t is not them
at all, but the stockings that are at
fault.
Nothing Is more uncomfortable than
a stocking that does not flt, and pair
that is too short can cause every bit

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The first step
was taken today toward the passive
resistance strike planned among 10000
families Of New York tenement dwell
ers against rental rates. The contest
opened as soon as the renting agents
reached their Office today with a de-
mand from representatives OF num-
Der Of Stanton and Cherry street resi-
dents for reductions ofsfrom 81 to SO
monthly on rentals ranging from SIS
to $50.
The agents refused the concession.
Before the end of the week similar
requests will be made from rsidents
of practically all the tenements in
Allen, Rutgers, Rector, Ludlow, Mon
roe and Jefferson streets The agents
are expected to refuse too. The ten
ants will not move out the first Of

resist eviction. A mass meeting will
be held Tuesday night, in which law
yers interested will tell the strikers
how to make eviction as difficult as
possible. It is admitted that the land

National League was agreeable or not.

A PORTABLE FENCE.
A contrivance That ls Convenienf,
Useful and Substantial.

Useful and Substantial
To make a portable fence that is sub
stantial as well my practice is to take
a bale of forty-eight inch poultry wire
netting, says Dr. ]. A. Whitman Of
Beaufort. S. c. Use anything that
will make a stake sufficiently strong
TO hold it up. Then with an iron bar
make holes about eight feet apart
around the lot you wish to inclose.
Now put in the stakes. driving them
down little to make them firm; then
take a fourpenny nail and drive It into
the stakes on the side you are going to
put on the netting as high as your net
ting is wide or so the netting viii rest
upon the ground. 4
Now commence at one corner and
unroll your netting around to the start
ing point. If it does not take the whole
roll, leave it on the roll Next COM
mence and hang up the netting on the
nails that are partly driven in, stretch
ing 1t as you hang It up. Then take
common plastering laths and nail over
the netting on the stakes with two or
three fourpenny nails, leaving the
heads out just enough to draw with
hammer when you want to take the
fence down.
II you have surplus of netting. ron
up the surplus and fasten 1t to the last
stake with a string or piece Of wire.
If one roll is not enough. proceed with
the second roll Just the same way.
When you get through with its use,
all you have to do is to draw the nails
from the laths and posts, lay down the
netting, roll up, pull the stakes and
lay them away for another time.
never cut a roll of netting unless
for a permanent fence. Let any poul-
tryman try this fence, and he will
never want for a permanent fence.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Miss Ethel
Barrymore returned to New York IN a
new play by Clyde Fitch and Cosmo
Gordon entitled Her Sister" The play
unfolds a we'll told story pitched in a
light vein and presenting Miss Barry
more at her best. The result is a de-
,ightful entertainment which Broadway
received with open arms last night.
Almost as much of a triumph from
personal standpoint, but considerably
less as a dramatic Offering was Under

comedy in which Maxine Elliot made
her first Broadway bow last night. The
comedy Is a late affair considerably
far fetched for American appreciation
and its success last night was entirely
due to Miss Elliot and the work Of
