Hannlnena-

II has been said that the most beau
tiful and wonderful gift In tho worlC
is that OF finding happiness In every
one and everything.
And some people really seem "a
have more than their share OF this
gift. No matter how many worries
and troubles they may have. they
smile through II all. and even find
time 20 sympathize with other people
whose lot In life may not be nearly
as hard as their own.
OF course. everyone has not this
gift; but II We only like 10 try. we can
cultivate II TO a large extent.
The first thing 20 do is 10 make up
our minds 10 try and sink self alto
gether. and think only OF others. says
Home Chat. There are always plenty
OF people worse on than ourselves TO
whom a kind word or even a smile
would mean a great deal, and II we
make up our minds 20 try and do
what we can 10 make them happy. we
are on the right road 10 being happy
ourselves.

And If the condition Of the farm In.
