People That Ale
Worth While Are Few.
HE is one of the people who makes
life worth while"
This is not an epitaph, though 1t has
its earmarks, and though mortal could
not wish for a better one. 1t is the
verdict of a young woman concerning a
middle-aged man; and it was verdict
so complete and so perfect that those
who heard it kept the saying in their
hearts and pondered over it, And as
they pondered it came to them with
sort of dull reality how few travellers one
meets in the journey of life who really
make life worth while; how few are re-
moved from the stigma Of being what
Stevenson calls ''smiung images, pushed
from behind:" aud how few are really
able or willing to drop the commonplace
and the small change of dany formali-
ties for an actual exchange Of soul recog-
milton.

take one who is willing to drop his sword
and raise his visor we greet him as
cornrade and friend, and say of him,
He is the sort of person who makes
life worth WHILE
In the rush and hustle of city life one
has innumerable opportunities for ae-
quaiutances but precious few for friends
and friendship; and if it is possible to
find among the acquaintance an eXcep-
tiOnal one or two who, when evening
comes, and you glance back over the
days doings, can give you the feeling
that something pleasant and interesting
has come TO YOU during the busy hours,
you can say TO yourself that these are
the people who make life worth while.
The Worthwhile people are not always
brilliant or even clever. but they are al
ways understanding and they are usually
full of enthusiasm about life in general
or some of its specialized interests. They
have enough enthusiasm to spare little
to the person shey happen to be talking
to who goes out of their presence feeling
as if life had somehow opened a new Wis
tn and Il fresh outlook.
Above all, the worth while people are
responsive. They are not SO carried
away by their own interests or anxieties
as not to be interested in you and yours.
For the time being, as least, they make
your pleasure their pleasure. and your
trouble their trouble till the pleasure is
doubled and the trouble diminished by
their generous share in 1t. Somehow
they manage to give you n new light
upon your life and its affairs, not by
prying into them, but by the example oi
a broad outlook, or manly acceptance
of what Fate sends.
