Law bearing ON this subject provides

which the views Of both branches will
be harmonized.

The amendment adopted by the
House today was introduced by Mr..

terms Of his amendment Mr.. Gillett
said he thought the President would
rule that records of corporations OF

made public. He said he thought the

not to be made public. as they should
not be open to the inspection Of rival

brutal, cruel men may laugh, but
they seldom smile. The affiuence,
the benediction, the radiance which
Fills the silence like a speech is
the smile of full, appreciative
heart. The face that grows finer
as it listens and then breaks into
sunshine instead of words has 3
subtle, charming influence univer-
sally felt, though very seldom
understood.
Don't be cross and hateful because
everything in the world doesn't
move to suit you. Of course you
are great deal smarter than anyone
else and are justly entitled to more
recognition. While you are fully
aware of your attainments, your.
neighbor, who is dull Of compre-
hension, has. not found out that
you are more than an ordinary
individual. You have doubtless
told him different more than once,
yet in his dullness he has failed to
comprehend the many brilliant
points you know yourself to be
possessed of. So do not kick be-
cause you are not appreciated. The
best thing you can do is to get a
divorce from your big head, come
down from your high perch and be
a sensible, everyday American.
The fact is much to be deplored
that with most boys and girls the
boy who spends the greatest amount
Of money for them in furnishing
them entertainment is the boy most
admired and cajoled. But oh! what
becomes of him when his money
plays outg He plays out, too.
Consequently, to keep his footing,
he stiles his conscience and robs
his employer, commits some other
theft or CANDLES in order to keep
in the swim. This same state OF
affairs is applicable to men and
women in society. Many dark
deeds are committed through a
desire to supply the demands of
worldly-minde wives and daugh-
ters. And again, an honorable
man, rather than sell his principles
of integrity or meet the taunts and
upbraidings at home, when he fails
to supply their demands, prefers to
send his soul to eternal death and
thereby rid his physical self of
life's burdens.
He who would free from malice
pass his days must live obscure
and never merit praise So
breathed one who had passed
through many life battles. He had
been close observer. Malice
never communes with the good.
Malice toward none and charity
for all" has been the thought of
great souls ever since creations
dawn. All along the pathway of
life where that thought has been
the most dwelt upon there have
always budded and bloomed the
sweetest flowers. Where that prin-
ciple has been practiced the most
and applied the most, round about
have fnttered in the air the pretti-
est birds and with the sweetest
tunes. Where that virtue has the
most deeply penetrated human
souls, there can be found the purestI
and highest civilization, the lowell
est temples and the most beautiful
cottages with the most fruitful
vines of love twining about.
