Which Are You2

In this world there are two kinds
Of men-those who look upon the
bright side of things and those who
walk In the shadow and see nothing
but Encouragement ahead.
The cheerful man when he sees work
accumulate attacks 1t heartily and soon
clears it away, regarding his work as
fun. The other looks and looks, his
face growing longer each minute. and
then says to himself: How much
work do they expect me to do on my
pay? / can't possibly get through all
this today"
Then presently when he settles down
to work he finds that the cheerful man
has nearly finished and envies him
his light job
He never thinks that the optimlst
gets through by working steadily,
without lettering to growl at what he
has to do. The thought that he might
work too hard never occurs to the
cheerful man.
Again, the disconnected one imagines
that his employer does not notice his
merits or the reverse and loses inter
est In his work. This is wrong, for
every employer knows when young
fellow is doing his duty well. He may
not have time to give praise personal,
ly, but he knows just the same.

The Swan.

The common or mute swan (the lat
ter is the correct name) is really an
English bird, though it is better known,
less rare and less expensive than the
three American breeds. the whistling
swan, the trumpeter and the whoop-
ing swan. named obviously for the pc
culiar note each sounds. American
swans are less common than the mutes
because Of the fact that they will not
h..ccl in captivity and also because
they are being killed in great numbers
by hunters, especially by lsls, d, 2.

birds fly far north. The swans mott
early, before the newly Matched birds
are able to take care of themselves,
and it is popularity of the mott that
all of the wing feathers drop off al
most at the same time, leaving the
birds helpless. While the swans are
in this condition the Eskimos Stay

the governor. "It seems that young

Jessie. "Jack was to have paid back
the money In installments. He con-
fessed to Tim that he had spent it in

The governor shook his head. He had
stern ideas on the abuse of the pardon

clear.
