20 years it caused as much surprise
as If the top shelf where the files
reposed had climbed down from the
wall and invited Miss Chisholm, the
stenographer, out for luncheon. The
office staff always came up handsome
for funerals and weddings, so they
felt they ought to do something for
the office fixture in the caterpillar
tweed suit, about to depart on his
well-earned holiday.

asked the man who-sits-next-to-M Mr.
Walters, shifting from one foot to the
other.

tiers behind his hand Importantly.
I'm going out to Denver, Col Got a
brother out there-doing well, too.
He's always writing me that if I'll
come out he'll give me the time of my
life; and Bens one that would do it
all right if he said he would. If you
all have few moments I'd like to

next-to-Mr. Walters, briskly, because
it was long past II o'clock and he
hadn't eaten hardly anything for
breakfast His obvious designs on
the door were instantly resented by
the others, for it was as much their
door as it was his, and they wanted
to use it. Still, they owed it to the
bag to stay and chat for few mo-
ments. Miss Chisholm beat ragtime
with her gun-metal hatpins and
seemed to hold some grudge against
the clock while the boys" took nerv-
Gus seats on window-sills and desk
edges.

an all-the-time-there-is air, ARE some

It Pays to ne Cheerful.

The spirit of cheerfulness is some
times the result of n happy temper
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity.
Sometimes it is the abundance of youth
i'll finding n surplus of ylgor after the
tolls Of the day. Sometimes 1t is the
expression of character which from
the reserves OF It's own nature and ex-
perlence is able to preserve cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such character Is strength and n
defense not only to him who has IT.,
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers of humanity. whose lights
shine through the dark night OF human
struggle and whose word Is an inspirn-
