Most unhappy people have become
SO by gradually forming habit of
unhappiness, complaining about the
weather, says Success, finding fault
with their food, with crowded cars,
and with disagreeable companions or
work. A habit of complaining, of
critioizing, fault. finding, sor grumbling
over trifies, habit of looking for
shadows, is most unfortunate habit
to contract, especially in early life,
for after awhile, the victim becomes
slave. All of the impulses becomes
perverted until the tendency to pes

Territory. About is years ago Mr..

in the center OF his district. We are
gratifisd to learn that he has built up
: lucrative practice, and from the
manner in which the papers speak Of
