AS the Gulf Stream leaves a.

warm trail of sunshine wherever
it goes through the cold, prac-

Do Not Allow Your Disposition to
SOur-face the Sunlight.

.
No matter how disagreeable
your work, or how much trouble
you may have this year, resolve
that, whatever comes to you or
does not come to you, you will
keep sweet, that you will not
allow your disposition to sour,
that you will face the sunlight no
matter how deep the shadows.
The determination to be cheer,
full will discourage multitudes of
little troubles that would other
wise hafass you.
If you cannot get rid of trou
BILE, do as the oyster does with
the grain of sand that gets into
the shell and irritates it. Cover
it with pearl. Do as you would
with an ugly rock or stump on
your grounds. Coverit with ivy
or roses, or something else which
will beautify it: Make the best
of it.
You can make poetry out of
the prosiest life, and bring sun
shine into the darkest home;
you can develop beauty and grace
amid the ugliest surrounding.

as altitude of mind, that gives
happiness.
Nothing can disturb his good
nature" said man of one of his
employees, that is why I like
him. 1t does not matter how
much I scold him or find fault
with him, he is always sunny.
He never lays up anything against
me, never resents anything"
Thatis recommendation enough
for anybody. No wonder this
man did not want to part with
such an employee.
Who can estimate the value of
a nature so sunny that it attracts
everybody, repels nobody?
Everybody, wants to get near
sunny people; everybody likes n
know them. They open, without
effort, doors which morose ma.
lures are obliged to pry open
with great difficulty, or perhaps
can not open at all.
l know an old man who has
had a great deal of trouble and
many losses and misfortunes:
but he started out in life with
a firm determination to extract
just as much real enjoyment
from it, as he went along. as pos
sible-not in dissipation, but in
wholesome recreation and fun.
He has always tried to see the
humorous side of things, the
bright side, and the duty of hap-
piness.
The result is, that, although
this man has had more than his
share of sorrow in his career. he
has developed the inestimable
faculty of making the best of
every situation, and of always
facing the sun and turning his
back to the shadows. This life
habit of cheerfulness and optim-
ism has brought out a sweetness
OF character, and a DOise and
serenity of mind which are the
envy Of all who know him. AL
though he has lost his property
and the most of his family and
relatives, yet he radiates sun
shine and helpfullness wherever
he goes.
A man WHO can laugh outside
when he is crying inside, who
can smile when he feels badly.

THE LAND OF THE FREE.

Tony lived near Milan, Italy.
When 81 he loved a girl. When
they talked Of marrying, lack OF
money blocked the way. Tony was
helping pay the mortgage on his
fathers vineyard.
Foreigners paid their annual pill
grimage to Milan. Tony cultivated
the acquaintance of Americans, who
told him OF country where men
are free, strong, brave, where love
is young, titles unknown, where for
tunes are made in day and are
doubled in night. Tony repeated
these stories to the girl
One evening a dust-cOvered figure
entered the railway station of Mi.
Ian, drew girls purse. bought q
ticket for Genoa and steerage ticket
for New York
For an hour lonely figure stood
on the platform gazing toward the
west, where the after-glow gave
promise.
When Tony arrived in New York
he was released with 5000 other for
eigners. In a basement room on
Broadway Tony found an Italian
employment bureau. A man who
spoke Italian, talked to him, Tony
signed paper printed in English.
The man told him it was all right.
In the room were many men Of
different nationalities.
That night they were piled into a
railway coach. They travelled the
next day and night. The men slept
on broken seats, ate from the loaf
of bread given them before depart
ing, and drank from a delapidate1
water tank. Once Tony tried to
walk out on the rear platform, but
found the door locked.
On the second dav the train STOP
ped in the mountains. The half
starved band was marched over
hills for miles until they reached a
row of cottages. The party stopped
at one. Two rows of hunks were
arranged along the walls. The for
eigners entered.
Early next morning IS sleeping
forms were pulled from the hunks.
The party started down the road
and halted at square enclosure.
Tony and four others were told to
get on a platform. Tony held onto
rod and his breath came quick as
the platform sank into utter dark
ness. The air grew cold and damp.
Finally the elevator stopped. The
men were led through a shaft. They
stopped on reaching other men who
were shoveling coal by the pale
light from the little torches attach
ed to their caps. Tony was handed
shovel.
Every morning Tony was aroused
from slumber and walked down to
the hole-the Hell Hole"-they
called it. He carried half loaf of
bread and black ccffe. 1t was al
ways night when they arrived and
night when they left the mine.
Every evening Tony wrote to the
girl of lucrative position he had in
a great business house, and de-
scribed the splendors that taxed his
imagination. He received no ans
