How to Be Happy.

There are as many ways to be hap
Ply as there are people in the world.
And the duration of human happiness
is as long and as short as human life.
But the best and most enduring hap
piness of all Is that which is welded
to some sort of philosophy, and the
key to all the philosophers is the hui
NOR sense. It Is the humor sense
that saves us from ourselves by re-
vealing to us how little we are, and
Of what small account in the cosmos
schere, however big we may seem to
ourselves or to one another. So we
learn our own limitations and are con-
tent to abide within Them so we learn
the limitations of others, and are
fain to be tolerant and charitable to-
ward them. So We learn that it is not
in art, or literature, or politics, In
wealth, or fame, or power, In the lust
of the eye or the delight of the mind
or in any other of those sounding alb
that we shall find the best
guerdon of life, but In the hearts of
other men and women, like unto our

All o. Mr., Stanley's efforts to get Mr..

peatedly, II" cannot answer a hypo-

Lawyer Lindabury OF the Steel Trust,
who had repeatedly objected to Mr..
SANKEY'S gu, Itions. at last realized that
there was no danger to his clients in
any answer Mr.. Roosevelt might make
and quit.
In his earlier testimony Mr.. Roose-
welt reite rated that he only knew that
"a great banking interest" was In peril
and that Its failure would near gem
