Encouragement

Encouragement is something we
annually look for. A little praise,
a word Of hope or cheerful smile
something for the hungry soul to
grasp and the weary wind to rest
upon, as we climb the toilsome
mountain of life. How many poor
hearts have sunken into despou-
dencY, when little encouragement
has reassured them. The soldier
looks for it on the field of battle; it
is the cheering voice of his leader
that urges him on through the
danger of death and crowns the day
with victory. The poet and the
artist, the writer and the musician
look to the world to acknowledge
their genius and give them praise.
1t is encouragement which calls
forth their noblest words to climb
the mount of fame until they sur
mount all difficulties and write their
names in flaming letters upon its
summit Then let us give encour.
agement to each other in every
effort ofgood, in every noble action
in the little duties of life, and we
will be happier for it, the world
will be better, aud smiling provi-
dince will look down and bles. our
labor of love.

AROUND THE
HONE CIRCLE
Is Your Home COzy?

There are many so called homes
that do not deserve the name at all
Home means comfort, but when we
have it fixed up so elaborately that
We must sit in the garret or back
ward to genuinely enjoy ourselves
then it is high time we made a
change and turn out the too'good-
to.nse articles end substitute for
them real homely things that we
could enjoy every day of the year
and every moment of the day
Men like pretty home-makers, no
mistake there. They can appreci-
ate beauty just as we'll as the next
one, but they want that beauty to
be of an order that appeals to their
sense of home comfort Of what
good are cushions so elaborately
embroidered that no head can ever
repose on them? What sense is
there in easy chairs of such rich ma
terial that they are quite the reverse
of the name given them?
Is there any satisfaction in a room
the furnishings of which cost hun
dreds of dollars, while the owner
perhaps, sits by the kitchen fire or
in some dingy sitting room, where
he can put his feet on a fender if he
wants to, can smoke, and as a great
indulgence, tilt back in a chair?
Let the sunshine into the gloomy
rooms, have a couch to lie on, a
piano to play on; IN fact, a home to
live in; one wherein sense of hos
pitality and good cheer exudes from
the very tables and chairs, instead
of mausoleum of gloomy elegence
wherein everything is for show and
nothing to be used.

they managed to check their speed suf-
ficiently to stop themselves on the mar
row shelving at the edge of the bluff.

carefully, knowing that a false step
meant instant death, they managed to
reach a wider shelving, and then
crawled for some twenty-five feet un-
til they reached a depression. where
they were able to reach the trail above.
