Art of living Together.
) man liveth to himself.''

No man liveth to himself.
 If that is true, then the art of living with other people is important to be learned. And it is great art, this learn ing to live together
 In sense the world Is vast machine shop. One may not be able to see all the shafting and belts and dynamos and cog wheels and cams and pistons, but they may be imagined.
 In this vast machinery one may be no more than a small cogwheel But if so he should fit into his place and run smoothly, because
 If a cog should slip 1t disarranges things and may disturb the harmonious work ing of the huge engine.
 To learn how to run In your place with out friction is necessary. The bad citizen is simply a poor piece of machinery which interferes with suc- cessful operation He causes a hitch. It may even be necessary to remove him en- tirely. And that is expensive and annoy ing.
 And so the art of fitting ones self to his work, learning to live peacefully and effectively with others, is a great art.
 The art of successful living with others requires that man De good citizen, else he cannot expect good government. It requires that he be@a good son, else he cannot expect harmony in his father s house. It requires that he be a good husband and father, else he will not fit in.
 Nearly all the troubles in the world are caused by maladjustment.
 Crime, divorce, the whole list, are large ly traceable to the failure in the art of living Experimentation.
 Most business failures also come from the same source. The round man gets into square holes and vice versa.
 Men are trying to be dynamos who are fitted only to be balance wheels. And men who were formed to be engines are working as mere power transmitters.
 It Is fine thing to be able to find on e real place in life and fill it-without fric- tion. It Is a great thing to run in one s place in the machinery of life-without squeaking.
 It is useless to try to run your little machine apart. It is coupled up with the shafting and belting of the universe. And your machine can run only when the en- gineer wills-and es part of the big ma chine.
 No man lives to himself.
 Therefore if you would learn the art of successful living you must bearn to live with others.

A Converted" Convict.

Behold, l show you a mystery The other day a man stood in Chi cago station with smile on his face and holding in his hand ticket to Michigan City, Ind. He was an escaped convict voluntarily going back to prison, The man said it was the happiest day of his lifel asD
 You do not understand how a man who was going back to the hard labor, the coarse fare and the degradation of the penitentiary could be perfectly happy. Nor do l. That is the mystery.
 This is the mans story:
 A few months ago he had escaped from the Indiana prison, fleeing to the west. In a western city he attended a street meeting of the Salvation army and was ''converted." He immediately started back to Indiana. stopping in Chicago for a day. A number of Chicago Salvatonists went with him to his train.
 A dispatch to the Chicago papers next day confirmed the story. The convict promptly reported to the warden and was put to work.
 Understand the mystery?
 No. It is because we know very little about that strange spiritual alchemy that transmutes the baser elements of man into the pure gold. The meaning of the
  around but one can scarcely realize how man may be reversed in motive and in purpose so that he comes to love the things he once hated and to hate the things he once loved. We only know the results of the radical process.
 And we can understand how, with his new viewpoint of life, he could be happy Although this only prospect was that of the dismal years stretching into the for bidding future, yet from that appalling programme he could extract pleasure. Why?
 Because in the turning upside down of his nature this convict somehow had come to realize the significance of real free dom-that it is spiritual freedom.
 Penitentiary barriers might hold his body in slavish bonds but his soul would be free-and happy.
 And because he was glad to>say to the last full measure the debt he owed the state his conscience would be void of of fense and there would come to him the peace that passeth all understanding.

That Girl of Yours.

"In seven-tenths of the 5000 cases of insanity among women which have come under my notice the cause was directly traced to the malign influences of child hood"
 So says an insanity expert.
 What he means is that our modern sys- tenn of rearing girls does not permit theih to properly develop their girlhood.
 Rather startling?
 If you will look about you you will note evidences of the false system How seldom do you see a developed, vigorous, physically forceful girl. If you look into the school rooms you will discover many pretty faces aglow with intellect, but you will also see dropping shoulders, evidences of weak spines, sunken chests, blanched faces, lack of initiative life forces.
 Is 1t not true?
 Where are the girls who are to be the Spartan mothers of the race? fou will find them not among the native but among the foreign born. Where are the ''tomboys' blithe, lusty, wide-hipped. deep-chested, agile creatures, cheeks rud- dy with red corpuscles-the climbing, romping, laughing, whistling girls?
 You will find some of them in the country districts, a few in city gymna- siums.
 What our girls need isAmore of ex- ercise and less of repression, less of primping and pampering, more of sun, light and less of cosmetics and choco- lates.
 Ask the doctors.
 If you have a strong girl of high spirits, be proud of her. Do not try to tone down her superabundant vitality. She will need ay she can store up some day Let her run wild like an Indian maiden. Do not try to quench that happy laugh of hers which some people thinks is too boisterous for good form.
 Let the girl run.
 Make strong animal of her first of all.
 Tough muscles, red blood, action, ap- petite, spirits-for these things g she a girl.
 Never mind the freckles on her nose, the tan on her cheek They will come off. Never mind her long stride and fence climbing agility. Plenty of time to tone down. Even hoidenish swagger is infinitely to be prefeferred to scram- bled brains, overwrought nerves and overpolished manners-and doctors bills.
 Some day that tomboy of yours will marry. What wife and mother she will make! Her children will rise up and call her blesssed.
 Don't coop your girl. Don't treat her like a house broom.
 Let the girl run.

Sioux City, Oct. 12.-That Miss Jessie
McIsaac, teacher at school mo. B."
near Danbury, has the smallest school
in the state, is ~undisputed. She has but
two pupils. Originally six children
were in attendance, but four have
moved from the district with their par
ents, and this leaves but two.
Every morning the class, which
consists of one small but sturdy little
brother and an equally sturdy. but
smaller, little sister, armed with ra-
tions for the MONDAY meal, comes
trudgling up the lane.
The school bell rings and the entire
school hurries faster for fear that 1t
might possibly be late. Arriving at
the building, the school trudges in,
takes off a cap, helps sister take off
her woolly mittens, Inc all is ready for
tho days work.
Some Hard Days.
Some days the entire school n
out on the sums, and other times the
geography lesson is a perfect failure
on account of every pupil in the schoo
forgetting whether Nova Zembla is in
Scotland, or is a part and parcel of
greater New York.
Perfect, absolutely perfect, recita-
lions by the entire school, is sometimes
the rule. On occasions the school is
able thru vigorous study the night
before to go to the blackboard and do
a trick in long division and addition
that would make a college graduate
ashamed.
Nightfall coming, the cap is put on
half the school and the mittens on the
other half, and with the now empty
lunch basket in hand. school is dis
missed and the instructor walks home
with all Of her pupils to see that no
harm comes to them.
In all probability, unless the child
population in and about Danbury
school district No. 8 greatly increases,
the school will be closed and the pu-
pills will be forced to another school.
