Your Husbands Friends.

(From Hearst's N. Y. Journal)
A man who has business friends
must entertain them somehow. If
he can entertain them pleasantly at
home, so much the better for him and
for you and for everybody concerned.
One never knows when a business
friends help may come in useful"
Many a wife has helped to make or
mar her husbands business career.
Even though she knows nothing of
his affairs, and he is disinclined to
take her into his confidence regard
ing them, she may do much to mold
his business future without stepping
outside her own home sphere.
A wife can often make her social
gifts contribute largely to the much
desired end, and in this way can often
give her husband assistance which is
simply invaluable to him. Especial
ly should she be prepared to entertain
his business friends.
Do not, therefore, discourage your
husband from bringing home his busi-
ness friends, even though you do not

THOMAS JEFFERSON's TEN
RULES.
RULES.
Not All New, But All of Them Wise.
New York American

Not All New, But All of Them Wise.
(New York American.)
Many wise sayings, speeches and
letters have come down to us from the
man who wrote the Declaration Of In
dependence, and who really believed
what the Declaration Of independence
says.
Out of these writings of Jefferson
ten rules have been collected. They
are worthy the attention and thought
of all our readers.
They are short Here they are:
1. Never put off until tomorrow
what you can to do today.
2. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before
you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don't want
because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of eating too
little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have
cost us that have never happened
9. Take things always by the smooth
handle.
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak; if very angry, count a
hundred.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-16
The Girl With a Grievance.

The Girl With a Grievance.
Some of your griefs you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have sur
vived,
But what torments of pain you endure
From the evils that never arrived.
One comes across so many girls
nowadays with grievance-some-
times with dozen of them. And it
seems such pity to waste time in
such a CHEEKY, delightful old world
as this by being miserable and dis
contented. One charming girl, for
instance, might be the happiest, most
sunshiny little person in the world,
but she is always worrying about the
few things she hasn't, and never once
thinks of counting up all the delight
full things she has.
Of course, unpleasantnesses happen
to her, as they do to all other mortals.
But she isn't sensible enough to swal-
low the bitter pills of life without
making fuss. It's surprising how
beautifully they slip down if you take
them that way.
The girl with a grievance very Of
ten turns all the best, happiest and
incest circumstances of her life to frets
and complaints.
When one girl compares her condi-
tion with that of another girl she is
too apt to think only of what the
other girl has, not whether she enjoys
it.
The two are very different.
AS a rule, the girl with a grievance
is a girl who thinks mostly about
having ''a good time"
She sets too much store on trivial
little pleasures, and forgets that happi-
ness very often plays hide-and-seek
with us when we pursue it too eagerly.
But it often comes to us Of it's own
accord, when We are not thinking
about or seeking it.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-16
Are You Sweet, or Are You Sour?

Each one Of us in our daily life
must be one Of two things, either
sweet Or sour, and, occasionally it is
we'll for us to stop and ask ourselves,
To which class do we belong?
The fret and hurry of hard work,
the endeavor to keep up bravely when
bearing too heavy burden, the Of
ten unmerited harsh judgments Of
those dear to us-all combine perhaps
at times to place us in the catego-
ry Of "sour," but none should remain
in that state for long period.
To diffuse sweetness is particularly
a woman's privilege. To knock off
the blunt edges, to smooth down the
rough corners, are little duties that
a sweet nature takes as her particular
charge. The few words of kindly peace
and good fellowship, the knitting to-
gether the broken links in friendship
or love, and, above all, the sinking
of self into the serving of others, mark
the "sweet" woman! She never sees
the evil, but seeks to find the redeem
ing trait which she is certain is in
every person.
In her sweetness she can make ex-
cuses for failures, for unkind words,
for undone deeds, until those who had
nothing good to say feel humbled
and ashamed of their unkind remarks.
Do you know "sweet" woman? Are
you such a one, or do you belong to
the "sour" variety?
No one is so quick to initiate as
young child; therefore any woman who
is constantly in the presence of chill
dren should endeavor to let Sweet
ness of nature" penetrate her actions,
words and thoughts, or she may mar
what might have been noble char
acter.
And to the lover, what a happiness
is his when he finds "sweet" wo-
man! 1t means everything; it tells
him that he has found one who will
make little spot on this earth a
true haven of rest, glorifed by her
sweet presence. So, if our natures
have grown sour" let us try to
change them, that we may be known
as the "sweet" type of woman.

BICYCLING.

Figures It is often said. never lie but at the
same time the fact is recognized that you can
prove anything you please with them if YOU
only go at it properly. An instance in point is
the assumption that because the 1905 statistics
OF the Department of Labor and Commerce
give much smaller bicycle output than was
shown by the figures Of 1900 the industry is
therefore rapidly declining. Taken by them
selves, the figures seem indisputabIe. but when
the manufacturers statistics for 1905 1906 and
the current year are taken into consideration
the fact is clearly proved that IN the half-decade
covered 10y the census bulletin the bicycle in
dustry not only saw its lowest ebb, but the be-
ginning Of a revival the ultimate magnitude Of
which cannot be adequately estimated. AS a
case in point, a certain bicycle factory in the
Middle West saw its trade fall away until in the
month Of October. 1901, it made only q beg
carly twenty-fOur bicycles From that year the
curve of production began to rise. and at first
slowly. In October. 1896 this same factory
built 2,1a5 bicycles To make this great growth
still more clear, the certified accounts of the fac
tory referred TO show n production in 1901 of
@lWW wheels, in round numbers In 1906 the
33,oOO marx was passed. and for the present
year the output VIII closely approximate 10000
There can be only one explanation of these fg-
urcc. a sane and desirable form OF recreation
is coming into its own again.

1T rs ALL ROSEVILLE.
Jersey Club Makes Clean Ss0eep an
Athletic BozCIing League.

The Athletic Bowling League season, whieh
closed last week. proved record breaker IN sew
eraI ways. In winning the championship with
standing of thirty games won and twelve lost the
Roseviue Athletic Association five made team
average of $685. the highest ever returned IN TINS
league The same team averaged S6S1O at nome
and S1S.6 strange alleys
In finishing second. six games behind RoseVhle'
the New York Athletic Club quintet got an aver
age of $3.50 At home New York had a mark or
9C5 9 and SIS away from home. The Elizabeth CLUB
and the Newark Bay Club teams are tied for third
place with twenty-three games won and nineteen
lost. They will get together shortly for roH on
on neutral alleys. Although Elizabeth has the beJ-
ter average, the Baycnne five has hSheF marx
away from home. -,
1t is an interesting fact that the Columbia Club
and the Montclair Club teams have better aver
ages strange alleys then they have at home;
Columbia averaged S50.6 at HObOken and Si92O
away. while Montclair got S4512 at home and s5ilo
away. Rosevile's 1GS1 total is new league rec
ord. This team passed the thousand mark seven
times, and several of these big scores were made
away from home
Individually Pierson broke all league average
with 1902. Then follow Van Ness. Olozaga and
Meyer These five leaders all Rosevile men,
and it is the first time in the leagues history that
any single club has been SOlidly represented at
the top of the individual table
Persons away from home average was 1851,
while Wood had 1870. The former got 1865 at Rose
vile and Wood 1914. Van Ness did the best work
Van Ness's 2s3 won the high score prize. The off,
Cial figures follow.
