When big man, especially one tied
Up in the affairs of the nation of the
cities, takes time to write to little
children, it appeals to anyone with
sentiment. Mayor Gaynor, of New
York, in writing to a little girl the
other day said to her: Everybody
ought to be happy. 1t does no good to
be any other way. When anything
discouraging or annoying happens, just
say to yourself: Well, it will be all
right The next time something good
will hannen."

Set Good Example,

About TO become a wife, a Pensa cola
woman demanded as a preliminary to
the ceremony, that the prospective
bridegroom produce some evidence that
he was provided with sufficient money
to meet expenses of a double-team.
The unfeeling male being became in
suited and smOte the bride-tO- be griev-
ously. Yet the inquiry of the woman
was a very natural and a very just
one. If more women would make IN
vestigations along this line not neces-
sarily with such publicity of course,
but thoroughly, much matrim Onial in
felicity would be avoided.-Tampa Tri-

In Charleston the other day a man
had climbed to the top of an electric
light pole to watch a ball game. He

help from believing that it was disap
pointment and not an electrical chock
that caused his death.
