We all know people whose particular
occupation seems to be to squeeze the
sour out of everything. They never
see anything sweet. Everything is Bit
fer to them. They cannot enjoy
friend because of his faults. His mis-
takes and weaknesses loom up so large
that they cannot appreciate the good
in him. They cannot see the man Goa
intended, perfect and immortal. Iney
see only the deformed, diseased, Grip
pled handicapped man who, IN tneir
oninion. will never come to any good.
Nor do they see the world that God
made. The beauty that looks out OF
the landscape, from the trees that rus
tle in the wind, that is wrapped IN the
flower. is lost to them. They only see
the floods. the fire. the earthquakes
the lightnings, the wrecks which de-
stroy. They are blind to beauty. 1t Is
all covered up in the ugly, the forbid
ding. They do not hear the infinite
harmonies that entrance the ear that
is in tune with the infinite. This Is all
lost TO them in the discord OF their
thoughts. %. S. Marden In success

il wise to negotiate for hospltality'
BEFORE going to rest he proposed ram

AS he was reading the farmer wnis-
nered to his wife: THAT Is capital. we

Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmaee, u. ID.

New York. April 5.-ln this sermon
the preacher shows that the path OF
rectitude and duty is the only road TO
happiness. no matter how alluring otn'
or ways may seem to us at times. The
text Is Psalm xcvii, II. Light Is sown
for the righteous and gladness FOR the
upright in heart
, This is an unfamiliar metaphor. we
are not accustomed to thinking OF ign.
"a OF something that may be sown, as
.he farmer sows grain in the SPRING
LIGHT comes from heaven to drive
nway the gloom. of the night, to revive
Industry. to start'again the wheels OF
business life, to scatter the vuitures'
winged or human, that prey In tne
darkness. We are thankful to God 1or
the light that he sends to us every
dawn But this conception that the
psalmist utters. of light sprlnging as
q harvest from seed sown, Is novel 10
us It suggests the idea of the dark
moss of sorrow or of trial, III WHICH
Gods children must live at times'
contrasting it with the encouraging as
surance that light Is sown for tnein
which. though it lies for time hidden
and buried. will yet germinate anu
fruit to their gladness. 90.
This conception came to me "lti
snociol force as | considered the topic
II had been raining for five or SIX
davs II seemed as though the heaV'
ems were a porous sponge being squeez
od of oceans of moisture. Then came
the glorious sunrise. 1t came In grea
tidal waves Of light 1t Hooded tn'
earth. and It flooded the skies, ana
sank into every pore Of the hesh. oh
Il was gloriousl God did not say
"Here is a little sunlight for you ana
little sunlight for some one else" a
though he was afraid Of wasting II, Du
ha seemed TO food the earth with lign
in lavish abundance. He seemed l

light for the flowers of the helds an
for the birds of the air and for man
mental and physical existence. IaKe
and bathe in it and grow In II an
breathe it. Here is the sun as ste

IL gives many blessings. but he gives Il
blessing with richer abundance tina
when he rolls out for man the Dlessh
of the sunlight. Then turned an

MACE HALE AND HEARTY.
OId-time Fighter Enjoys Best of
Health at Age of IS.

New York, April S-A dispatch from
London says that Jem Mace. the old
time fighter. celebrated his seventy-elehth
birthday this week hale and hearty. and
looking exceedingly young for man Of
his years.
He continues to take an active interest
in sporting affairs. though it is now more
than quarter Of a century since he re-
tired from the ring. Recently he posed
for picture with Tommy Burns. the
American champion, and he has taken a
lively interest in the whirlwind manner
in which the latter has cleaned up the
best Of the English and Irish fighters.
Jem Mace made his American debut
in this city February II, 1870, in a spar
ring exhibition with John c. Heenan.
The first big fight Mace had In the
United States was with Tom Allen. whom
he defeated in ten rounds at New Orleans
May TO- 1870 In May. 1871, Coburn and
Mace were TO have fought for the cham
pionship near Port Dover, across the
Canadian line. but the military interfered
and prevented the contest. The two met
in Mississippi the following November,
bout resulting in q draw.
All Of the fighters who were contem-
poraries of Mace have long since passed
from the scene. Joe Goss f1ourished for
a time, winning the American champion
ship from Tom Allen In 1876. and losing
il four years later to Paddy Ryan. Tweh-
ty-three years ago this week Goss died
in Boston. aged forty-six
Joe Coburn continued to fight for sew
eral years after his meeting with Mace.
His career was brought to a close in 1877.
when he was sent to Sing Sing for an
assault on New York policeman. He
was released in 1882, and eight years
later died in this city.
