Some wise person has said that weusually
find what we are looking for In this world.
If that be true-and It is true to a certain
extent-how very much better and more
wholesome to be looking for kindness
rather than Sights, for happiness rather
than for misery, for the flowers of life
rather than its thorns. Even when these
things seem impossible you nay think
them so, and by the power of your nlu-
sions make them come true.
Illusion and disillusion are to the mind
what rose-colored and blue spectacles are
to the eyes-illusion the rose, disillusion
the blue.
1t may seem q sort of child's play to
hold so fast to that which may be myth
cal, but anything, even myths, are worth
while when they make for happiness and
peace.
Who of us has not met the mother of
the growing family who would as soon
think of leaving her family forever as to
think of permitting herself a vacation
from her arduous labors. People who do
their own work, and especially mothers,
often glory In the fact that they do not
take a vacation. They boast of staying at
home at all times and sticking eternally
to what they believe to be their post of
duty.
A vacation is just as necessary to the
mother OF the family as It is to the tired
teacher or the strenuous clerk, and for
exactly the same reason--that they may

Az VINES
A few days ago I read an article in
which the writer says there is no reason
why girls should not use slang If they
want to, since 1t Is merely one way of
expressing ones self in a smart, bright
manner, and as 1t is being universally
done, no one thinks any the less of the
girl who uses 1t, nor would they think
of o~ensuring her.
The writer was a woman! Now,
whether 1t be right or wrong, just stop
and think for a moment, and try and
decide the matter for yourself. DID you
ever hear a girl indulgtng In a flow of
silly talk. interspersed with slang, who
impressed you as being refined or lady
like? Did you not try to get away from
Q as quickly as possible, and were you
not in mortal. fear lest some of your
friends would hear her conversation.
particularly IL it was in a public placer
Once when I was much younger than
I am today a man cousin, considerably
older than myself, took exception to a
slang phrase l made use of. Good
ness, where do you hear such talk?' he
asked That's uncouth enough for
boys to use" That criticism coming
from a man made me see my mistake.
and while l must confess to the use of
slang once in a while, l am sure l
would have been much more addicted
to its use II 1t were not for that re-

Is the use of slang excusable in girls?
is the question which some of our fore
most girls are trying to answer, and 1t

ions on the question. One weli-known

the life of her see how its use is going

GROCERY CUPID's WORKSHOP.
Eleven Men and Four Women Clerks Deserted Its Counter for Firesides.

Deserted Its Counter for Firesides.
 If the homeliest man on earth will go out to Bayside, L. l., and step into the vacant clerkship in Charles Durland's grocery his luck will change.
 That job at Durland's has been highroad to matrimony ever since Durland opened shop. The first in cumbent held it two weeks and then guessed he would quit, as he was going to get married The next clerk stayed ten days; then he too quit for hymeneal reasons. After that nine other clerks Durland hired left as soon as. they got their first pay envelopes. All went the rlatri- monial route.
 So Durland made a radical change. He began to hire young women. This is what happened:
 Miss Lulu Linden got married at once; Miss Ella Heide quickly fol- lowed suit; Miss Sadie Davis gave notice by telephone. and Miss Edna Leek sent her little brother around with a note asking MT and Mrs Dur land to take tea with her and Mrs Frank Keenan.

OPERATION
OF WATERWAYS

James ]. Hill sometime ago urged
the improvement of the waterways OF
the United States as a means OF re
lieying the freight congestion. Wheth
er he expected them to be real rail
road competitors. or not, Is not made
so clear He may have anticipated
that IL would be easy for the railroad
syndicates to control river transpor.
tatlon and II is quite clear that no
river transportation would greatly af
feet the Great Northern holdings.
Congress responded to the popular
demand and appropriated $S5,O00.0O
for rivers and harbors. The Trades.
man, great commercial paper pub.
lished at Chattanooga, now advocates
government operation OF waterways
In recent editorial It says.
Clearly. II the waterways needed
$S5 coo 600. simply to put tIher in
shape for utilization, they now de.
mand whatever is necessary to make
them operative and effective. and
there is no way of obtaining this save
through government equipment and
operation.
Even II 1t were possible to obtain
private capital and enlist private en-.
tesprise to utilize 1t in this direction
would II really accomplish the de
sired ends? Why should the govern
ment spend $85.000,000 Of the peoples
money In order to relieve transpor-
tation diffhculties. when that entire
sum is left liable to be subverted OF
totally lost through those very same
agencies that are responsible for the
present non-use of waterways? The
railroads in the past always managed
to control water competition when
ever and wherever 1t became formid,
able, and such would be the case In
the future unless the government
placed them beyond such a respon
sibility.
ITO safeguard the public and pro
tect the expenditures already made
there does not appear to he any other
plan than to place the waterways in
commission by the government. both
in equipment and operation. They
would then really become serviceable
to the public and they would solve
the greatest of transportation prob
lens by giving the public In reality
water competition.
There would exist little need fol
any other supervision or control OF
the railroads. The fact that the gov
ernment had the waterways would I'm
