Fault Finders.


This is a splendid world and
this is a splendid age of the
world, and instead of denouncing
it you had better get down on
your knees and thank God that
you live now. And yet in this
agreeable world there are a
great many agreeable people who
persist in seeing the wrong side
of everything. There is t h e
fault finder.
Sometimes he joins a church,
and the church has it's hands
full. He criticises everything.
Wishes the minister would not
preach so long. Thinks he's too
argumentative and didactic. Is
dissatisfied with the choir and
disposed is pick flaws in the fl
nancial arrangements. He signs
and groans and growls and grum-
bles and whines all the way up
to Heaven. He frets and stews
and stings himself and others.
He is like a porcupine- all quilts;
like a crawfsh-a always going
backwards, and we don't see for
the life of US how he will ever
get to heaven unless he goes in
that same way, then most likely
he will stop at the gate to pick a
quarrel with Saint Peter. When
he is fairly inside we are afraid
he won't enjoy it. The singing
will be pitched too high, the exer-
cises dull, the services too long.
We shouldn't wonder at all if he
spent the first century or two
squirting at the wall to see if it
was exactly plumb.
What is the matter with such
people? The trouble is not in
their surroundings, but in them
selves. If the heart is right, all
is right. If the heart is wrong,
all is wrong. Every man should
carry his own light. God kindled
indeed, but still his own, by
which to keep his heart warm
and face bright. Pick up the
marigolds and daises in your
path, instead Of hunting for
thistles and thorns. Hang your
blinds so as to let ia the morning
sun. Leave hooting to the owls
and croaking to the frogs. Make
up your mind that you have come
into this world to have good
time, and have it.

One Of the chief services the club house
renders a membership inclined to the eN-
ercise OF hospitality is the use of rooms
for private entertainment. Beautiful and
commodious apartments may be hired by
members for any purpose which does
not conflict with the governing board s
standard OF what is suitable. That this is a
tolerant standard is shown by the great
variety Of purposes for which the rooms
have been let. Sympathizers with the strik-

VALUE OF THE ILLUSTRATED
CATAIOGIIE

The advent of the illustrated cata-
logue has been one of the "Ameri-
can ideas" which other nations have
been slow to realize the value of.
A foreigner who had visited the
United States during one of the re-
cent expositions, said he was amazed
at the manner in which all the 'na
tives" conformed to the prevailing
mode of dress. And his wonder is
shared by any who has ever noted a
gathering of American people.
In European countries, the inhab-
itants of all the large cities will be
more or less arrayed in garments of
fashionable cut; the hats of the wem-
en-, of even the poorer classes, will
show attempts at making them ap-
pear of the seasons style, but the
country people have clothes that
we're the vogue when mother was a
girl and father was boy
In the secluded settlements, the
isolated villages, the places removed
from the track of development, old
customs, habits and styles prevail,
