Much injury 10 Done.

Many a boy has gone to bed In tears

little mechanical device, or threw a
vet blanket on his dreams, laughing at
his prediction of what he would do in
the future, writes Orison SWEET Mar
den in Success Magazine.
A man who has recently come into
great prominence in his profession
says that when, tremblingly, he tole
his father what he wanted to be, he
only place for a boy with such crazy
ideas, and that he was forced for years
to do that which God had forbidden II.

which every drop OF blood IN him pre-

mind that his son must continue his
business and keep his estate intact, is

JUDGED at the very outset.
The reason why there are 30 many

Everywhere we see men and WON

were discouraged and diverted from
their natural bent when young. Their
own ia niles did not take stock Ia
them; they laughed at their young am

lions, either by harsh treatment, or.
what is even worse, ridicule; and their
teachers did not understand them.
You cannot read the sealed message
which God has wrapped up in your
boy or girl, and you should regard 1t as

of future greatness of your son, be
cause the Creator may have intended

may be perfectly conscious at this mo.
ment that he was intended for much

Flower Dances for Children.

French mothers have been showing
unwonted ingenuity this winter In
dressing their darlings for the popular
Aower dances which are now the fash
son for Juvenile society and carry all
before them. Generally a number Of
blooms are selected, and these are
called bouquet parties. The charm Of
these parties Is that the little people
are well suited to represent fowera
Partisan society has gone daft over
some Of the designs and also the
beauty Of some of the children. Their
dresses are floral, Of course. Trails
Of blooms are draped together from
NE waists, the ends floating on the
airy skirts, or loose petals are scat
tered all over the material. But this
gives little idea Of the chic and the
detail Of the dress or Of the human
noweret that carries 1t of. Nothing
has 30 hit the French tasts as these
flower dances, and many Of the elder
spectators have grown quite sent
mental about them.

Farm Hands Isle OF Refuge Already
Had a Tenant.

Prof A. l.. Lowell, the new presi-
dent OF Harvard, paused In one Of his
recent lectures and smiled.
THAT governmental difficulty" he
said, was great-as great as the diff.
ficulty OF Lincoln's farm hand
1.-TWO farm hands, Lincoln used to
say, were set upon by a huge bull
while crossing a rocky field. One man
aged to gain a tree. The other took
refuge in a hole that proved to have
an exit in the rear.
THE man who had chosen the hole
was no sooner in at one end than he
was out at the other With below
the bull made for him. He turned and
again shst like lightning through the
hole. The bull once more bore down
upon him, and once more he was in
and out of his hole.
This strange pursuit kept up some
ten minutes or more. At first it mysti-
fed the farm hand up in the tree.
Then it angered him.
Hey he shouted, we DANCED min.
compoop, why don't We stay in the
hole?"
THE bull was dashing from one
end of the hole to the other at great
speed, and the man was bobbing in
and out desperately. Heheard, however,
his comrades shout and found time
before his next brief disappearance to
shout back
DANCED nincompoop yerself!
There's bear in the hole!' "-Chica-

There are, other destructive forces

rivals. This happened at the time Of
the trembler at Charleston, South

of the shaken city, while he felt that
his duties required him to remain
there to do what he might for the suf-

cheerfulness and MIrth.

II have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth, The latter / consider
as an act, the former as habit Of the
mind. Mirth is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great
est transports Of mirtA who are sub
ject to the greatest depressions Of mel.
ancholy. On the contrary. chesrfulness.
though 1t does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness. prevents us from
falling into any depths Of sorrow.
Mirth is like fash Of lightning that
breaks through gloom Of clouds and
glitters for moment: cheerfulness
keeps up a kind Of daylight in the
mind and fills 1t with steady and per.
petual serenity. Joseph Addison.
