Tie Good VIII Habit.

90. S. Marden in Success Magazine)
The habit of holding the good will,
kindly attitude of mirG toward every
body has powerful influence upon the
character. 1t lifts the mind above
petty jealousies and meannesses; it
enriches and enlarges the whole life.
Wherever we meet people, no matter
if they are strangers, we feel certain
kinship with and friendliness for them,
greater interest in them, if we have
formed the good will habit. We feel
that if we only had TIE opportunity of
knowing them we should like them.
In other words. the kindly habit, the
good will habit, makes us feel more
sympathv for everybody. And if we
radiate this helpful. friendly feeling,
others will reflect it hack TO u.s.
On the other hand. if we go through
life with cold, selfish mental attitude,
caring only for our own, always looking
out for the main chance, only thinking
of what will further our own interests,
our own comforts, totally Indifferent to
orners, this attitude Will, after time,
harden the feelings and marbleize the
affections. and we shall become dry,
pessimistic, and uninteresting.
Try this year to hold the kindly good
will attitude toward everybody. If
your nature is hard you will be sur
prised to SEQ how it will soften under
the new influence. You will become
more sympathetic, more charitable
toward others weaknesses and failings
and you will grow more magnanimous
and whole souled. The good will atti-
tude will make us more lovable, inter
esting and helpful. Others will look
upon us in the some way in which we
regard them. The cold, Grabbed, un-
social. selfish person finds the same
qualities reflected from others.

From the jaded horde of the years gone
That have passed lock-step from the
gaol of Time,
I can catch but dreams as the phantoms
fly
And the ghosts move past in a rhythmic
rhyme
-Ah the rose was sweet and the sky was
clear.
And the brook swung on In it's mystic
In the dear, dead days of the boyish
cheer
When 1 loved a maid-in the long ago!
Oh. her lips were ripe as the ruddy peach
And her mouth was sweet as water
While her eyes were depths in the limpid
reach
OF the deep. deep spring in the forest
hoari
Yes, her voice was thrilled by Apollo's
And her breath was scent of the lily
sweet
In the fragrant morn when the buds are
freed
And the day breaks forth on its light
shod feet!
All, she loved me then In a true-blue way,
When 1 pulled her hair at the village
school;
some day
We would take our plunge in the nup-
tial pool.
But the years sped on and the path
forked wide
And the storms broke loose with their
riffs of light
When the winds go down and the pillows
ride,
There is naught but dreams in the fad
ing night!
Oh. my sweetheart fair of the days gone
by,
OF the days lock-stepped from Eternity,
Let me dream of thee as the phantOms
fly
And the shostly forms OF the seasons
flee,
For the rose was sweet and the sky waA

And the brook swung fair in the mystic
flow

will consist of five numbers instead
of four.
They are The Parland-N ewhall

than 800 times.
The talent for the fifth number is
still uncertain.
AS the public expressed a desire
for a return of Adrian M. Nwens, a
strenuous effort has been made to
obtain him.
Should it prove impossible to Sc
cure him, his place will be filled by
the best talent available, and the
announcement will be made as soon
as it can be decided.
Season tickets will be $3.50 for
adults and $1.00 for children, the

some years the course has failed to
