Don't Let The Light Of Your Life
Go Out.

Don't let the light of your life go out
Though the flame seems burning low,
Just trim up the wick, and add more oil
And brighter the flame will glow.
Don't let the light of your life go out
When dark clouds obscure the sun,
They soon will lift and reveal the rift,
Or will pass off one by one.
Don't let the light of your life go out
Though Affections do arise,
There's never pain that hides no gain
For the man who only tries.
Don't let the light of your life go out
With it's song minor strain,
Let it alone. and the major tone
Will blend with the music again.
Don't let the light of your life go out,
There's never cup of Rue
So bitter to sup. but in the cup
Is a measure of sweetness, too
Don't let the light of your life go out
When the tempests do arise,
Just trim up the wick and add more oil,
There's way for the man who tries,
R. L. Campbell.

Think of this if you are ever
tempted to discourage and sad
den others.
And when you come to think
of it, few encouraging words
cost nothing, and are just as
easy to say as the discouraging
words that come so readily to
our lips.
Make up your mind to look for
the bright side of things always,
and you will be surprised to find
what difference it will make,
not only to yourself. but to other
people.
And, any how, nobody likes
the person who persists in act

you have got into the habit, get
out of it as quickly as possible,
and start to cheer and encourage
people instead.

Alone in Prison IS years.

Jesse Pomeroy, who is serving
a life sentence for murder, enter
ed upon his thirty-ffth year of
solitary confinement to-day.
Pomeroy entered the State
prison when he was 16 years old.
today he is 81, and has served
longer than any other prisoner in
solitary confinement in the
United States.
While the terms of his SEN
tence require that he shall be
kept in solitary confinement as
long as be lives, he goes into the
yard an hour each day for exer-
else. This however, is during
the time the rest of the prisoners
are in the shops, and he has no
communication with any one,
not even guard.

carefully for an hour, demonstrating
that he has no recollection of any
events relating to his own life pre-
vious to about two months ago. His
statement that he was born in Roch-

AS well imagine a Punch without
Judy as salad without cheese. Its abb

French dressing wanting in flavor.

accepts the salad and cheese dictum,
but does not glorify 1t. There are
housekeepers who buy cakes of cream

In which cheese can masquerade.
If taste is conservative and the fam
lily will not eat but one kind of
cheese, then vary the service. Fas-
cinating are the new servers There
are silver incrusted glass jars with
heavily monogramed lids of silver to
beautify the porcelain jars that hold
certain cheese. They come in all
sizes, and there are cheese scoops in
proportion.
For large cheese that last for days
there are special glass-topped dishes
with silver base to prevent drying out
Some tops are of rock crystal, others
entirely of chased silver; again, glass
with silver overlay.
The Edam cheese is much more ap-
petizing in its silver holder of mar
row prongs and broad base, with
deep silver scoop tc match, than II
served with its hard red rind on an
ordinary plate. Just here the thought:
full hostess has portions of the cheese
loosened in the shell. as manipulating
the scoop at crowded table is not
easy.
Cheese balls, cheese squares. the
cheeses passed whole and cut with
special cheese-knife, like Brie and
Gorgonzola, have special fat dishes
dedicated to their service. Sometimes
they are of rock crystal, more often
of crystals with silver rim or deep
silver border, or their special plat
ters in plain silver with open work
border. Always there is the long.
handled cheese fork to facilitate
service
Crackers are passed separately, but
some hostesses prefer the compart-
ment dish made to accompany the
salad course. This comes in rich
China. especially in Dresden: also in
chased silver. Some have a handle,
like basket. others are on pedestals
