Bravo!
at an age when your boy and mine
were being cuddled by mother this
courageous child had gone up against
the sharp corners of life. He knew
very well he could not borrow a quar-
ter without giving collateral security.
He was willing!
For the sake of the sick sister Rover

Does it seem pitiful that a young

loused world?
Yes, but there is in the boy the max
ing of a man. He has two necessary
ingredients Of manhood-a tough fiber
and a warm heart.
The world is bigger than he-so pa

Have Some speeiaI interest.

Whatever our occupation or profes-
sion in life may be, 1t Is most desira-
BILE to create for ourselves some other
special interest. In the choice OF a
subject every one should consult his
own instincts and interests. will not
attempt to suggest whether it is better
to pursue art or science, whether we
should study the notes in the sun
beam or the heavenly bodies them
selves. Whatever may be the subject
of our choice, we shall find enough,
and more than enough, to repay the
devotion Of a lifetime. Life no doubt
Is paved with enjoyments. but we
must all expect times of anxiety, of
suffering and of sorrow. and when
these come it is an inestimable com
fort to have some deep interest which
will, at any rate to some extent, en-
able US to escape from ourselves

vigorous whack on my coat sleeve

FISHIN'.

| A delicious languor Of boy time
steals away the spirit Of your vision,
and the lure of ripping waters decoys
you from the dusty places Of the town
to where you may loll in ieafy shade.
You straighten your shoulders to say
'I'm goin' fishin'."
(When under the spell it is proper to
cut your final g's.)
You are quite sure you have not mis-
taken the sweet ailment. Diagnosis Of
the symptoms requires the apostle Pc
ter's recipe.
Well
Donning the disreputable clothes that
match your yagrancy, you dig in the
back yard for worms. A bamboo pole,
cork, lead-no fancy outfit for you.
If you are a city man you take the
car as far as it will go and slouch-
literally slouch-over the countryside
to the stream in the woods where you
dangle your frank enticements to the
little fishes.
You get scarcely nibble.
Concerning which you little reck or
care. Having obeyed the primal i'm
pulse, it is the duty Of the fishes to
do the rest And as you hold out your
inducements from vantage rock or an
cient log the pole droops more and
more.
As you nod you dream. You dream
Of tow headed boy who lived some
where back at the beginning of things.
His one suspendered trousers are roll
ed upward to the semblance of a
breechclout. and his happy feet are in
the sand Gray, wide eyes are open,
mirrored to every stirring mite of
earth and water and to the long cir
cling hawks of the sky.
The boy has a hickory pole, a twine
string and pin hook.
His hand braided hat Of straw, wet
and fashioned by cunning fingers into
fantastic mold, is discarded on the
bank. His pole droops into the water,
and the boy dreams. And you wonder
what the boy dreams.
Does he dream of the string Of fish
es or of a girl with curl encircled face
and a polka dotted dress? Why.
there's something about that face that
is Ike the face of that old sweetheart
of yours And which face?
You straighten up and look about
you. Nobody is looking, and it's no
body's business but yours anyway.
Decidedly you have been asleep for
some time. And as you slowly plod
back to the car, sans fish, already you
feel the gibe of the boy over your emp
ty handedness.
But what an afternoonl
While you nodded and dreamed old

ing lullaby.

over superstition, just little, Of the
! ages, and you wonder:
Was it the wrong day?
Or that the sun did not shine?
Or the planetary signs?
No. my dear, it was none of these
The honeymoon came to an end be
cause all things come to an end. es
pecially things sentimental, sprouted
and grown under the warm Impulse
of a novel condition
It's fine up there in the raref1ed air
Of the mountain top, but you do not
stay. You come down into the pro-
sale valley to live.
That new husband of yours adapted
himself sooner than you. He was
obliged to plunge into his work. Stern
duty pushed aside the idyls of the
lover.
Poor child. it Jared you to come
down to the ordinary, and | agree with
you that honeymoons should last for
ever. Only they do not.
Humans are so constituted that they
cannot continue to bill and coo with
out sometimes yawning and wishing
for change. There's a bit of philoso-
ply in the adage that familiarity
breeds contempt"-not contempt, per
haps. but safety.
Do not grieve over the setting of
your honeymoon. Cherish the memory
of it.
You see, my dear, you and he must
have tryout. You scarcely know each
other In the friction that comes in
double existence you are to learn to
respect each other. Love is built on
mutual respect.
Besides, love is devotion, and devo-
ton requires time for exercise and ex-
preston. 1t may require misunder-
standings and quarrels, maybe, and
tears to work 1t out all right according
to the story books.
Never mind little girl.
Other moons will wax and wane
None of them may SO drip with hon
eyed sweets, but they will be silvery,
happy moons.

THE GREAT SECRET,

Do you like the world in which you
live? If you do, be Herewith content,
But if you do not like your world
you can change it to suit you.
Impossible? No. You can change your
world by changing your thoughts,
Where your thoughts are your world
will be. You live in your thoughts.
They encompass you. They make or
unmake your life.
Let US begin by saying:
You have a body. You have a mind
But you are a soul. That is to say.
your body always obeys your mind.
but your mind obeys your soul. Both
body and mind are servants of your
higher self.
Do you see?
1t is easy for you to see, of course.
that your body obeys your mind. Your
body responds to your mind as a big
complex machine obeys the lever.
But using the same figure behind
the lever of the machine is the man.
Behind your mind is a higher power
that is in yeu.
How is that? Why, for instance, if
you are thinking wrong thoughts, or
bad thoughts, or morbid thoughts, or
mean or selfish thoughts, you can say
to your mind:
Stop! Stop and begin to think right
thoughts. And your mind viii obey.
It is true, and the proof is the trial
of it. Because you are set above your
mind as its sovereign. You can make
it obey 1t is your slave
Whatever you want to do or be, be
lieve that it is possible and try. Keep
on believing and trying. and, as sure
ly as anything, you will do what You
want to do or be what you want to be.
1t is the secret of the ages.
Modern psychology has revealed it.
The great men of the past learned the
secret and thereby became great. On
one side, just how the power to do does
is yet mystery, but on the practical
side it is as simple as A B O..
BY 1t you can win success. The di-
vinity that is in you, IL you will use
it, viii raise you above world of
doubt or worry or meanness or self
ishness and make you g. world of con.
tent, of usefulness. of satisfaction, of
peace.
1t is wonderful. 1t is true.

HUMOR OF The DAY
The Boy and the Bike.

A fat man was complacentiy pursU-
Ing his way through an east end cross
street. He carried an open umbrella
and occasionally wiped his moist face
on a large silk handkerchief.
Suddenly around the corner came
small boy on & bicycle. He turned so
quickly that the fat man had no time
TO get out of the way, nor had the
boy any chance to sheer away from
his bulky obstacle.
The front wheel struck the fat man
glancing blow. shaking his dignity
and scraping his leg.
As for the boy, he and the bicycle
went down with a crash. But the lad
was up again II in moment and, raising
the bicycle, bent over it solicitously-
The fat man was mad. He was so
mad that he sputtered incoherently
and then with vicious swing Of one
of his tan shoes kicked spoke out Of
the offending wheel.
There" he roared, II guess that'll
teach you not to ride on the sidewalk|
The boy stared at the dangling spoke.
"What did youse do that for?' he
whined "It took me all the year to
save up fer that bike-an' now look at
it!''
And he knuckled his eyes with a
grimy fist.
The fat man was touched His rage
suddenly vanished He fumbled in his
pocket and drew out a dollar bill
'There, kid" he said, take this and
get the wheel fixed"
The boy let go of the machine and
grabbed the bill
Say, youse can have tn bike" he
yelled and scooted around the corner
as fast as his legs would carry him.

THE DIVINE YEAST.

Ragged as to clothes, but clean as
to face, a ten-year-old newsboy led a
dog into the office of loan agency
at Kansas City.
Plainly the boy and the dog were
chums Of long standing and close fel-
lowship.
"Do youse lend money herew he fal-
tered when the clerk inquired what
he wished. "'Cause If you do I'd like
to borrow two bits on this here dog"
There was gulp in the boys throat.
He hastened to recite the merits of

he is, and his names Rover, and"--
the youngsters voice trailed off into
partially conquered sob.

his chum. I'll git you back ag'in,

the blue eyes of the kid.
Said the clerk:

money on dogs the child appeared ac-
tually relieved" And when asked why
he was in such dire need Of % cents
he stammered:

Too Hearty Thanks.

large warehouse in Glasgow, and he

he announced that he had received a

it to him as a thank offering.

THE HOT WEATHER FACE.

Yes, the weather is warm.
You can read that much, writ large
In the faces about you.
Note the faces.
Beads of perspiration tell of sticky
clothes and burning feet The air is
murky; scowIs wrinkle brows; mouths
droop; eyes are sullenly glazed; ges-
lures are of dissent and protest; thun-
der clouds sit on foreheads; humanity
aanguishes.
Look at the faces.
You try to look pleasant, but SO
much are we all kin, with the fussy
bunch about you, your own tempera
&ure goes up a notch or two.
But wait.
There's face different 1t is the
face of a rare woman. Undeniably
her face is red, like the rest of them,
but her brow is placid, and her eyes
have laugh in them, and she smiles
a smile that will not come off. What
a relief to look on herl Your tenn
perature drops little.
Handsome?
Yes. she is handsome by comparison
with the ugliness about her. Other
woInen are better dressed, but
Their beauty is spoiled by the crouch
they carry. The hotter they get the
grouchier they get, and the grouehier
they become the hotter they get.
There's another-a mans face.
Good humor radiates from every
vantage point of his rubicund visage.
Jollity is bodied forth from scalplock
TO double chin. He perspires. but he
smiles. He mops his face, but his
twinkling eyes plainly say, "It's al
ways warm In summer" He really
appears cooler. He is cooler.
How is that?
Why, there's physical and mental
heat. For instance, you are warm
physically. Your mind says, "I'm
hot" As result you pile mental
heat on top of the physical. You are
not both in body and In mind.
Which is a bad combination, because
mental heat is more dangerous than
physical.
The better way to save yourself
from the heat is to try to forget 1t.
Smile ard cool off.
Whatever you do, if you must put
on hot weather face, keep it to your
self.
Do not put it in circulation.

Heart toHeart

A KINGLY MIND.

One Of the bravest men who ever
lived died in Des Moines recently.
In the year 1874 N. f. Miller, then O
mail clerk Oh the Burlington road
passed through a direful wreck.
In collision he was thrown to the
floor of the mail car, and a redhot
stove fell over on his face. Wedged
in by the furniture, he was unable to
move. One ear was burned off and
an eyeball destroyed, while the flesh
and bones Of one side of the face were
roasted and his brain scared. 1t seems
incredible, but il was an hour before
Miller was extricated.
When the doctors finally got to him
one remarked: "All we can do Is to re
Iieve him. He cannot live"
Whereupon Miller retorted, Il viii
live longer than you doctors" And he
did.
He lay in the hospital for two years
and suffered many delicate operations,
refusing all anaesthetics
The great surgeon of his time, Faen-
ger, who became interested in Miller's
case, performed many of the opera
tions, making only a nominal charge
for fees that otherwise would have
been enormous.
For two years the church bells in the
vicinity Of the hospital did not ring
because of Miller's delicate condition.
lie returned to his mail car and serv-
ed twelve years. Finally, recognizing
his injuries and service, congress ere
ated the position of superintendent of
mails at Des Moines and gave Mr.. Mil
Ter the life position, a place he filed
until his death
Though frightfully disfgured and
cripple for life, Mr.. Miller was always
cheerful and a man whom it was
pleasure to know.
Every day of his life conditions re
quired that his wound should be dress
ed. How he endured the constant
draft upon his vitality for thirty-seven
years is a marvel
With one side of his face swathed al
ways in fine linen and most carefully
dressed-he was an unusually hand
some man-Miller was a striking fig
ure.
One day he was asked the secret Of
his wonderful survival and replied:
'Why, Faenger saved my brain We
do not live by our bodies. We live in
our minds"
This man ran the whole gamut of
heroism
Through the dun days of ceaseIess
suffering he was no less heroic than in
the CHASTITY crisis of the wreck.
And he stood living demonstration
of the divine power of kingly mind
over mere matter.
