CULTIVATE the Inflammation.

He who can read easily and under
standingly possesses the key to all hui
man knowledge. II he reads with Inn
agination alert, his mind will be
progressive. He will become more
and more self-reliant, and will become
self-confident as he realizes the
strength of his imaginative powers.
He will each day become more valu-
able to himself and to his employer,
because he Is alert and receptive, and
because imagination will permeate all
his ideals, his thoughts and his activ-
tiles. The man with imagination Is
equal to all emergencies, for when one
way of accomplishing a desired re-
suit proves inefficient, he will think
OF another, says the New York World.
The imaginative gift broadens the out
look and creates resourcefulness. To
the artist the student, and the philos-
opher. the development of the mag
NATIVE faculty is of the greatest value,
but to the worker in the business or
mechanical world its value is little
less. The man who has imaginative
strength never can be downed, for
when one of his schemes has failed,
he always has another ready, and will
persist until he achieves success.

Their Trip to Europe
By Virna Woods
(copyriEnt.)

Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Reynolds sat
in the back parlor of their pretty new
cottage looking at their surroundings
with qualified approval.
"The carpets and the curtains anu
the furniture are all right" said the
lady; but we are deficient in pictures
and bric.a-brac."
They had been married month and
had Just returned from their wedding
trip on the coast and settled down IN
their new home. Chester Reynolds

ed first to two and then to three years,

enough to make this start in married
life. Sylvia had at first insisted upon
a wedding trip to Europe also; but her
lover had rebelled against further
postponement OF the marriage. He
had compromised, however, by prom
Using the coveted trip in the second
year of their marriage, the money for
the purpose to be saved from his sal
airy. Sylvia was to be the fnancier,
receiving the funds and expanding the
necessary amount on the housekeep-
ing, reserving the balance for the trip.
Now, however, as she looked about
the tastefully furnished rooms, she
seemed more sensible of certain bare
places on walls and mantel and cabi-
net than of the pretty furnishings that
had delighted her at the time of their
purchase.

Europe, l think l should be salts

Not long ago, the Youths Com
panion, in an article on English
historical pageants, made the sugges-
ton that something of a similar kind
might well form part of anniversary
celebrations in this country. Since
then something of the sort has taken
place The observance OF "Ohlo day"
by the town of Rutland, Mass, was
made intensely interesting, and also
historically valuable, by pageant in
which men. women and children were
dressed as were the pioneers of Gen.
Rufus Putnam's band, and drawn by
slow-moving oxen hitched to prairie
schooners." More lately still the APP
proval by Lord Tennyson of pageant
with scenes taken from his fathers
poems, as a celebration of the hun.
dredth anniversary of the poets birth,
has led to the suggestion on this side
OF the water that the coming Whittier
centenary be marked by pageant OF
scenes from the Quaker poets verse.
The simplicity and historic character
of much Of Whittier's poetry would
make this easy.
