For Your Health.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way TO moods never amount to much,
because they are never masters of
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
a good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them. If they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; if they
feel like swapping" at everybody
they will snap.
People who suffer from moods
should be careful about their habits
They 81 ID be regular about meals
sleeI Exercise and work. The condi
ton of the health has much to do with
moods, and there is nothing that con
tributes so much to health as abso
lutte regularity

were playing in my back yard once,
and they set my dog kennel on fire.

he was just a worthless cur. Still

DEGREES THE PERPETUAL GRIN.
Writer Takes Issue with Man Who
Says keep a-smiiing."

A favorite motto with many people
in these latter days, when the whole
some gospel Of cheerfulness is being
preached so extensively, is, Keep "a
smiling" 1t is a very good motto
within limitations In so far as it's
adoption as rule of conduct prevents
the wearing of a lugubrious counte-
nance when no overwhelming grief or
calamity is being endured or is i'm
pending, in so far as it overcomes the
tendency to look on the dark side and
anticipate evil, in so far as it enables
one to look for the best in all situa-
lions and to keep up his courage when
troubles threaten-in all these re
spects it is a maxim worthy of com
mendation.
But it should not be interpreted too
literally; its spirit rather than its let
ter should be observed Its spirit
means a persistent hopefulness, re-
fusal to be cast down by discouraging
or unfavorable circumstances, a sturdy
defiance of adverse fate. Its literal
observance may include these things,
but it means also a perpetual grin, and
perpetual grin leads to thoughts of
crime on the part of beholders No
one becomes so irritating Or has such
a maddening effect upon sensitive as
sociates as the man or woman who
wears the smile that never comes
off. ''-Indianapolis Star.

SUBSTITUTE FOR TIE CRIMINAL

The numbers of aged men among
The prisoners in the jails of India is

nation is this:
1t is common practice, when a
theft is brought home to a man by
the police, for him TO get an old IA

himself, or he puts up younger broth

make full and circumstantial confess

man is able to do more for the family
support by honest labor or by thiev
ing than an old man or boy.
This is a custom which prevails
more or less in all Oriental countries
The judges and the people seem tc
argue in this way: Somebody has
committed a crime, therefore some
body must be punished Now the law
is no respecter of persons, and one per
sen is the same as another; therefore
it can make no difference to the law
who is punished. So, if the law pun
'shes some person for the crime, il
makes no difference if he did not com
init the crime, the law has been vindi

RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS
The Charge of Cowardice SANDER
Defeat of Ferret.

Tell q man that he hasn't the pluck
of a rabbit and if he doesn't disprove
it by hitting you he is certain at any
rate to be extremely annoyed.
Yet the taunt is a libel on the rab-
bit, A doe rabbit will fight like fury
in defense of her young. She will
charge like a battering ram and use
those long sharp incissors of hers to
capital purpose.
An old buck rabbit is not to be light
ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even fer
ret On the sanded floor of small
public house near Chestnut a ferret of
long experience was matched with an
old lop-eared buck, the property of the
landlord
The ferret made straight for the rab-
bits throat, but the latter was in the
air before master ferret could reach
him, and leaping clean over the fer
ret's head let out with those powerful
hind legs of his a kick which hurled
the ferret bodily against the wains
cot Twice the ferret returned to the
attack and twice he missed his grip
and went hurting through the air
The third repulse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded to stand ur
for fourth round Pearson's
