The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1907-02-20

There is considerable grief in this
great busy world of toll and tumult, but
the rushing, struggling, striving public
has no interest 10 the grief of an indi-
vidual. 1t is too fully occupied with
its own advancement to spend a thought
or care on what does not concern or
affect its welfare. Trouble comes to us
all in one form or another, and if you
investigate the matter you will find
that trouble is universal. Every heart
has its own burden. 1t may be in the
hidden depths unseen by human eyes,
but it is there nevertheless. Some
people Eave the courage to overcome
and submit bravely to the inevitable,
while others yield to the influence of
trouble and give vent to vain regrets
and useless repining. Whatever your
trial and disappointments, keep them
to yourself the public don't care to
hear about them. Keep a bright face,
a cheerful word and a hopeful heart.
Extend to the world cordial hand and
remember that life is for the most part
what we make it. Ella Wheeler Will
cox expressed this fact in the following
verses:
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh and il is lost in the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and is going to

the things mentioned as mainly re-

of the town was the lethargy of the

ANOTHER LETTER.
Mrs. Thompson Still Optimistic as to
Woman Suffrage

Jackson, Miss, June IA, 1907
Editor GREENE COUNTY HERALD: |
thank you very much for your paper,
in which you kindly published my re-
ply to your editorial on Woman Stuff
rage. "
Will you please send me half a
dozen copies of the paper, and also
send marked copies as follows X
and kindly send your bill for these
papers.
note that you think our task a
Herculean Que, but permit me to say
that if this be true, and it is also
true that the cause is a just one, the
sooner all good people pull together,
toward the goal, the sooner it will be
reached.
You say go ahead, ladies', but il
is not our fight alone. When we
receiv the ballot, it will be at the
| hands OF men, so when man advO
Gates the cause we feel he is worth
half dozen women.
That from every side, the men Of
Mississippi are ready for woman suff-
rage, and it is true that the women
are the laggards. But permit me
further to say that l firmly believe
Mississippi will be the first southern
state to give women full suffrage.
She has lead in other directions and
is still destined, l believe, to lead in
others.
L ENJOY your paper and congratu-
late you upon it. | rejoice to see
your attitude toward 'whiskey

Sincerely yours,
MRS. LILLY WILKINSON THOMPSON.

trifes in themselves as light as air,
will do it, at least for twenty-four
hours; and if young depend upon it
that it will tell you when you are old,
rest assured that it will send you
gently and happily down the stream
of time to eternity. Look at the re-
suit. You send one person only
one-happily through the day; that
is three hundred and sixty five in the
year; and suppose you live forty years
only after you commence this course,
and you have made IA, 600 human be-
ings happy, at least for time. Now,
worthy reader, is not this simple?
We do not often indulge in a moral
dose but this is SO small pill that no
one needs current jelly to disguise
flavor, and it requires to be taken but
once day, that we feel warranted in
prescribing it, 1t is most excellent
for digestion and promoter of pleas
ant slumber.

Our Mother

Round the ide of ones mother the
mind of man clings with fond affec-
tion. 1t is the first deep thought
stamped upon our infant hearts when
yet SO soft and capable of receiving
the most profound impressions and
the after feelings of the world are
more or less light in comparison.
Even in our old age we look back to
that feeling as one of the sweetest we
have through life Our passions and
our willfulness may lead us far from
the object of our filial love; we learn
even to pain her heart, to oppose her
wishes, to violate her commands; we
may become wild, headstrong and
angry at her counsels and opposition
but when death has stilled her moni
tor voice and still memory remains to
recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like flower, beaten
to the ground by the past storm,
raises her head and smiles among her
tears. Round that idea, as we have
said, the mind clings with fond affec-
ton; and even when the early period
of our loss forces memory to be silent,
fancy takes the place of remember
ance and twines the image of our
dead parent with garland of graces
and beauties and virtues which we
doubt not she possessed.

A picnic is to be given at Leakes-
vile on Saturday July Ii. Over 800
was raised in day for meeting the
expenses of Same. Ample arrange
ments are being made to feed the
multitudes on that day. Baskets
will be fetched out by the townsfolks
and the nearby country people, while
loaf bread, pickles and possibly some
barbecued meats will be added to
make enough spread to satisfy all
Corners. Coffee will be dispensed
from steaming big pots. A brass
band is being negotiated for, candi-
dates are being correspondent with
and a big advertising campaign will
be launched next week. Literature
will be poured out over the surround
ing section bidding all to come to our
poisoning little county seat city,
famed for its cooling shades, plente-
Gus pure artesian water, and spend a
day of peaceful enjoyment. The old
Chickasawhay which sweeps in grace
full and majestic stretches by our
thriving town affords shady banks
and an abundance of fish ready to
nip the extended bait. There is
scenery here that is worth coming to
look at. The pretty brick court
house, the artesian well, the large
new two-story school building, the
saw mill plant of McInnis Brothers,
the river from county or railroad
bridge, the new Methodist and Pres
byterian churches. There are things
here for the eye of a visitor to mark
that tell what Leakesville is and what
it is doing. Spend the day seeing ii
if you can. Lay aside the wearisome
toll and come and enjoy yourself fol
a day.

In a letter to the editor, brother
of the craft, who runs one of the
strongest papers in the district, and
in one of the largest towns in close
proximity to the home of the present
incumbent writes: L am with you
to the last ditch for either Lee or
Joiner in preference to McNair for
Railroad Commissioner. This but
echoes the sentiment now fast going
round the district. That McNair
must be beaten is the growing opin-
ion among the best people of the
Southern district. His tinkering
with the bottle is going to prove
fatal to his ambition to succeed him
self. Sorry for the old boy but he
won't reform and we can but help to
put him back in private life where
temptation will not be so strong.

1t is both a pleasure and pride to
set and watch the calm and deliber-
ate wisdom with which public body
composed of staunch Greene county
citizens proceed with their councils.
Such an occasion was that of Satur-
day, when the County Democratic
Executive Committee was turning
off their business. Such uniform
courtesy, studious equipoise, thought
full consideration for the fitness of
things and cautious and conservative
action as they exercised is character
istic of such an assembly of good

ness. Their efforts to legislate with
well balanced thought for all is I'M

Appreciation makes stupid people
brighter, homely ones more comedy,
the clumsy less clumsy, the difident
self-possessed 1t need not be given
in words; tones are often sufficient,
even chances or gestures will convey
ample meaning to sensitive souls.
Try few words of genuine approval
upon the most stupid person of your
acquaintance and note the effect, it
will surprise you; try it on woman
who knows she is plain and unattract-
i've and mark how her eyes will
brighten, her cheeks flush and her
face light up with something akin to
beauty. Try it on the man who lays
out your walks or hoes your corn and
see what consciousness it will awaken
in him. There is that in all of us
that responds quickly to the voice of
eulogy and longs for it. The man
dead to this is dead to every noble
aspiration.

Let the Children Play

From the nursery to the narrow
house is but brief journey, and in
that brief space between the two
termini the pleasantest domain ought
to be that of childhood. Children
alone, of human beings, have the ca
pacity of unadulterated enjoyment.
Their childhood, therefore, should be
tho holiday of life; its slave-day will
soon be upon them and then farewell
forever to the merry world, without
a responsibility, a fear or care,
which is their rightful abiding place
until borne out into the tumult snnd
the strife of the great malestrom.
Tasks they must learn, duties they
must be taught but those who know
how to interest the developing mind
and to feed it wisely with the ele-
ments OF knowledge, can make
education one of childhood S pleas
ures.
