.uHIFIUas LIFE,S KAhSaAINS

Four children are huddled in tiny room in tenement.
 An aged woman painfully climbs the stairs and enters. Her tired face lights with smile as she places bundle of groceries on table.
 She has toiled all night at cleaning the floors of an office building. "Grand- ma," the children call her. Her days of toll had, seemingly, ended years be- fore. She settled down then to end her life in rest and peace. But her son died; then her daughter in-law died. And to keep the children together she got work.
 We thoughtlessly call a thing like that a sacrifice. We think 1t is giving something for nothing" Oh, no, the old lady is smiling. She made q bar gain. She toilsd to win the deep peace that is shown by the smile.
 Here's musty old man, a professor, sunk in his books.
 What a lot he has missed in life, some of us say.
 Missed nothing! He hasn't sacrificed a thing. On the contrary, he got just what hs most wanted knowledge and scholarly contemplation. He might have had fame, wealth, beautiful home. But he traded them all of for what he wanted most.
 See this millionaire. Worry besets him; he does not sleep well; he distrusts every man. He traded peace, and quiet, and contentment for millions. Money was what he wanted.
 Here's young man who loved a woman and married her. They have several children. His salary is only as large as the salary of his bachelor friends. You've seen bachelors look with pity on the rather shiny suits of young husbands of this type.
 What he has sacrifced!" they ex- claim.
 Absolutely not He made bargain. He knows il, was good one. He want ed happiness; tho only way to get 1t was to have the woman he loved. So he married her.
 And this is hfe-Bargains! We bar ter this for that; we trade what we want less for what we want more. Look at yourself at any moment in your life now, for instance. Everything you have you have got by this bartering; everything you have not, yoa had traded away.
 "I'm poor man," perhaps you say. Yes but you're something more than that. Maybe you're lazy; maybe you drink; maybe you hate to save; maybe self f-control is unpleasant to you; may be you wanted little home and chil- dren; maybe you saw that you could buy happiness for yourself by giving your money to others-there are 10000 maybes.
 But you may be sure that you got what you wanted. You made your bar gain.
 You didn't sacrifice anything.
 You can see then, that the big thing in this world is wanting the right thing, and why ideals should be set high.
 You will get what you really want. You cant help it. You're paying cut something all the time. Be sure you will be getting something back.
 You can't stop trading il this mar kst of life. Don't be cheatedl Choose and pay!

ARE BARRED FROM wAasAlp.

BOSTON.-Why are the wives Of
American officers barred from war
ships?
This question, which has puzzled the
fair sex for years. has at last been
answered by the wife of one of Amer

out the secret of the mysterious regu.

ways and presented himself before
her.

OF having done good deed. This con
yiction lasted, however, no longer thar

hidden desperate was found by on,
