THE MAN WHO TALKS

blessed Inheritance. There as nothing
sustAins hApptnesn like inward peace:
and who WIS ever able to tell the
price OF IT, or the exact way OF it?
There il sometimes love and happi-
ness enough In howell to fill a PAL
ace; and usually enough misery in a
palace to make 1t hell instead of home.
Happiness is of the soul and the soul
that is conscious that all is we'll with
it, because Of its divine heirship,
knows the hope and the peace and the
joy which abfdes, and upon these three
is happiness firmly founded To be
poor in spirit is to be poor indeed.
Thsrs u one time ia life when ev-s
cry person should positively say to
ton we all Of MS feel occasionally like
telling the other fellow what we think
of him-we want to shoot our opin-
ion of him right into his ear. If we
he will shoot back his opinion OF us in
a retaliatory form which will be made
the more irritating by its truth
Our poor opinions of one another
should be smothered before they ara
audibly repeated: our good opinions
teous is good thing. but the retort
malicious sometimes makes wounds
that cannot be 1realed. When you are
tempted to indulge in the latter. say.
DON'T and you will soon begin to
see the wisdom and profit OF seif-con-

When It comes to the ways ana
walks of life no man likes to be called
down. 1t doesn't seem as if one could
abide such call with patience; and
still, when it comes to being shown
up who doesn't prefer to be called
down? There is such a difference be-
tween being called down and being
shown up. The fear of disclosure
makes private censure pleasant mt. to en-, en-.
of an enemy than the man who tells
the truth about one. 1t was a politi-
clan who was notified that he would
be defeated by the Lies being circulat-
ed about him, who shouted: Let 'em
lie: but for Gods sake don't let them
tell the TRUTH" Don't get grouchy at
being called down-Just be thankful
you have not been shown UP!
Beware Of ths newsboy who cannot
make the change for a ndckle for he is
running q scheme like the trolley con-
luctor who cannot remember whether
YOU gave him q dime or 4 nickel.
Where wqges or profits are small
some way has to be designed to make
receipts more satisfactory, and the
newsboy who cant make the change
when he has pocket full of pennies
will get on a worried look just as gen.
uine as though he hadn't q cent there;
and never mind the change, boy!" is
the message he likes to hear. Thia
isn't classed a. real dishonest, but
ster has in him the qualifications of a
plunger or of man designed Tor

II was Epietitus who said: God has
delivered yourself to your care; and
says I had no filter to trust than
you.'" Epictitus was favorite SER
want OF Nero, and celebrated heather
philosopher of the first century. His
cherished thoughts found uncredited
in Christendon would not be suspect
ed Of heather origin for they do not
smack Of great antiquity. He said:
TN all that you do. let goodness go
with the doing" Love your trade,
however humble, and md in it re-
freshment" In this age he might have
declared: Get rid of the sense of in
jury, you get rid of the injury itself"
Seek the truth which never yet hurt
any man." No more talk of what the
good man should be. Be it." All of
this written between 80 and 80 A. D.
finds ready endorsement iii 1911, and
will be likely to twenty centuries
hence, for the truth neither ages nor
dies
The oodheartedness of children is
proverbial, so it is nothing strange to
stories of their kindly deeds. But an
accident recently in a city not SO far
distant brought out a bit OF humor.
In street accident one of the two men
on vehicle was thrown under
wagon which had gone down because
of crushed wheel, and the children
thought he was badly hurt While
waiting for the police ambulance,
which had been telephoned for, someone
suggested IL some pieces of wood were
procured it would be possible to jack
up the wagon and save the man. Soon
youngster was seen coming from
every house in the neighborhood with
an armful OF kind1ing wood The
mans leg was in q bad position and 1t
was feared 1t might be broken. One
little tot when she heard the call for
wood ran across the street to her
mother anxious to help with the rest.
Mamma, mamma" she cried. Il
want some wood, quick, the mans leg
is cut off under the wagon and they
are going to make him a wooden leg"
We are all human and we may as
well confess it; and some housemaids
are just as finicky as the mistress;
and who can deny their right to be?
In this great and glorious country we
are all some pumpkins,' and those
WHO become conscious or this fact
early save themselves friction and
trouble in life. Somehow, like to see

just as high as her mistress for il
Doesn't cost anything and greatly inn
proves her style. A wealthy friend
once told me that a hired girl would
not sleep IN a room so simply furnish
ed as he himself liked, that a fine room
was an attraction This was called
to memory by the experience of a LADY
who is noted for kindness and for
Keeping help long, but when she was
compelled to get new maid recently,
the maid refused to accept the place
because the room assigned her was on
the north side of the house. Nothing
but the best does in these days for the
women who keep the house clean and
the pantry stored with good things
Some sentative people on the trolley
are annoyed by the way the conductor
scrutinizes the transfer they pass to
him, for II seems suspicious for him
to gaze 50 intently at such a simple
thing; and inferentially some Of then,
feel that they have been submitted to an
indignfty, II not q downright insult
These people do not know that it is
the conductors duty to look sharp at
coins and transfers, for. the losses for
come out Of the conductors pocket:
and his wage is not 30 large that he
can afford to have his income impaired
by carelessness in this direction: for
his opportunities for loss are MANY.
and besides his loss, inattention In this
