NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SMILE.
Did You Ever Practice cheerfulness In
Narrowing Circumstances?

1t is comparatively easy to be pleas
ant and cheerful when our bread-and-
butter problem is solved, when we are
strong and healthy, when we have har-
monious, comfortable homes and
money in the bank; but the test OF
character comes when there is a FAM
lily to support, when a wife and little
ones are looking to us for bread and
clothing, and the wolf is pretty near
the door; when we are struggling
against poor health, discordant
home, a dishonest partner. 1t is
very difficult thing to be cheerful and
hopeful when a man is out Of a job,
with no money in the bank, and an
invalid wife and children depending
upon him.
1t is comparatively easy to be optim-
istic when the granary is full, when
there are no clouds on the horizon, but
very difficult thing to be hopeful and
cheerful when the capital is small and
business poor. 1t is hard to be optim-
istic when notes and bills are coming
due and there is no money to pay for
goods which lie unsold on the shelves.
1t is easy to smile when we are we'll
and everything is coming our way, but
when everything goes wrong with us,
when undergoing misfortunes or hard
ships, when those near to US are sick
and in distress, when poverty pinches,
when the flour is getting low in the
barrel, and hungry children look long
ingly into ones face, then 1t is not so
easy to smile, to give the cordial hand
shake, to be serene, balanced and
poised. But this is just the time that
real character, that fine training, will
stand one in good stead.-Orison

Course of Justice in the PunJab.

Course OF JUSTICE Ut NHS TH"J0S'
In his report on the administration
of the police of the Punjab in 1907
the lieutenant governor states that
the more serious the crime the greater
the chance of escape from law. Con-
victions were obtained in only Al per
cent. of the murder cases, whereas
they were obtained in GA per cent OF
the attempts to murder and in IA per
cent. of the cases of culpable homi'
eide. The district magistrate at Jul.
lundur states that it is getting harder
every year to obtain conviction IN
the sessions court, the plea OF enmity
raised against the prosecution being
generally held to suffice to throw
doubt on the statements of their wit
nesses.-Calcutta Statesman.

SIZE.
The seIf.Eduoated Woman.

One of the first things she must
learn is not to attempt to do too much
herself. Every business man knows
that the higher he rises the greater
must be the number of assistants. The
private soldier attends to his own af-
fairs himself, but the captain EN-.
ploys an orderly, and the general has
an entire staff to do his bidding. Many
women have not learned this lesson.
They are so anxious to do their duty
in al: respects that they try to per-
form the tasks of general and private
soldier at the same time-a thing man
