Side lioht on Happjness.

From the Columbus Evening Dispatch.
 The habit of happiness can be acquired.
 Begin each morning by resolving to en- joy something during the day. It may be in the sunrise, a childs play and laughter. or a pretty touch of the land- scape.
 Learn to look in each experience which comes for little pleasure. You will be surprised to find how many things that you thought commonplace and rather dis agreeable possess either an amusing or instructive side.
 No matter how disagreeable duty is some happiness may be gotten out of 1t even If it Is only the thought that by youi efforts you are getting it out of the way
 If the duty must be repeated contin-i ually you can get some comfort as wei as happiness out of the fact that you are cultivating your patience and strength ot will power both of which are essentia to happiness or success.
