To keep your hungry heart and soul
What if the blest companionship men
crave
Come not to you through all the long

Within yourself you have to find your

And Il, when you have toiled and wrought
The sweet reward you sought you do
not gain,
And find the hoped-for bread is but a

Or good or Ill, your efforts shall attend;
In doing you have but your duty done

The Woman who Saw.
When we judge acquaintance,
weighing their personality, manner and
mind, we never throw into the bal
ance our effect upon them. which
ridiculously is the thing counting
most. We act as magnets, drawing a
certain group of their facets to the
front, and when we have done this
we cast a sternly appraising eye on
illusions on the surmise that the side
we see is All there is of a many sided
form. 1t is delightfully."- simple for
the person Judging, but most trying for
the person judged. They had no in
tention of turning those facets, they
felt them whirling to the fore and
were furious. The facets on the SOU
SOU by east corner of them are much
more suited to the person present,
but try as they would tc present them,

else had ever discovered.
It is most vexatious to be rat
Ting woman of the world with ones
Greenfield aunts, and when a real
woman of the world turns up to mad
deningly feel ones self becoming nice
young girl, or, worse still, stern, 81
lent Puritan with ideas, or perhaps
suburbanite with chest protector
under ones coat, which slightly, red
1y protrudes. Up the privacy of your
own room you have been a quiet Mona
Lisa, smiling gently at a transitory
world. An uncle calls and you STUN
BILE over your train and scatter hair
pins nervously. He has just left and
the sad leniency toward gauche man
kind has once more returned to you
when trio enter who reduce you to
clown, and to your own horror and
disgust you find yourself giving an i'm
itation of an encounter between a po-
liceman and drayman It is to weepi
You will go to your grave leaving ev-
cry one with a completely erroneous
idea of your character. The people
who see you as a hearty, bluff worker
should catch a glimpse of you with
the person who reduces you to an If
relevant kitten: You would give any
thing if it could happen. The desire
of your life is to be witty before the
person who renders you into one pro-
longed stutter, and if you could once
be cold and naughty toward those sill
ly people who pull you off your perch
you would feel that never could your
life be considered a failure.
There seems to be just one way of
multiplying the effects of other people
on one, but it is possible that it has
attendant complications which would
make it impracticable. Write a let
ter to one person and send it to an
other. There appears to be something
in the idea, doesn't there? 1t would
be a revelation for a relative to get
letter intended for an intimate, and
to send the letters written to men to
ones women friends and vice versa
it really would have surprising results.
Quite a new idea of one would grad
ually be circulated. One becomes hi
larious at the thought of the possible
complications. 1t would make the
morning mail a convulsing affair. IT
might make the evening trains for the
far West excessively full.-New York

Exporting Automobiles.
With one automobile show in full
swing and another but few days dis
tant, there is TIM liness in the publica-
ton by the department of commerce
of several consular reports on trade
openings for the export of American
made motors 1t is within easy reco1-
lection when the idea would have been
an absurdity, but it is already as little
absurd to ask who uses an American
motor as to ask who reads an Ameri-
can book. The answer depends as
much on the judgment of the man
who wants the book or the car as on
the excellence of the article wanted.
That time is Last. Americans going
abroad now prefer thir own coun-
try's product for foreign use. This is
the best advertisement they coulo
have. 1t is a natural complement thai
foreign cars are less in demand fol
home use. They are still wanted fol
a certain quality of trade and use
but there is an immensely larger trade
which can not supply its needs equally
well from foreign makes. We excel II
this trade exactly as we have long ex-
celled in others-that is, in the stand
ardization of manufacture and large
scale production We have not dis
placed the highest grade of hand made
watches, but we have made our teach
-
and cheapness with which we produce
very excellent time keepers at prices
which put them into the pockets OF
those who could never hope to have {
watch made other wise. We have done
the same thing for the motor trade
Price and quality considered, our car:

ter foreign cars, they may not be worth

before these facts make their way
wherever our cars are seen in per

templating a foreign trade-if eve
they get ahead of their home demand

are only two factories making com
