The man who is willing to forgive
will himself, get quickly the richest
gift; to forgive and forget is the
best way yet to make all men love
each other.
Be sensible and use your common
sense whenever you are in doubt
as to what you should do, and you
will then do your best.
When you work hard to please
yourself you are likely to shame
your fellows with your wicked ways,
forgetting yourself will make others
remember you.
Every time that you make yourself
better you draw all humanity closer
to you; you will never drive out
dross from yourself by being cross to
others.
There must be cheerfulness in man
before you can get charity out Of
him; man must drop the crouch or
else he will have to dance to the
DEVILS music.
No leisure will be of use TO you
when you loiter and lag in what you
do; the lazy man can only learn to
lounge.
You can never interest your
friends, much less the world at large
in your failures; the hard luck story
is a heavy drug upon the market
hard to give away.

There is a man out in Denver who

BURNING OF WIDOWS.

The Horrible Rite India Maintained
Fer Over Twenty Centuries.
The abolition Of the horrid rite of
widow burning in India was decreed
by the British authorities in 1929.
The dreadful practice was found
there by the Naced6nians under Alex

Christ. and for more than twenty-one
long. weary centuries did ii repeat its
almost inconceivable torture and ago
ny upon the women Of India. The
sacrifice, while not actually forced on
the wife. was so strongly insisted en-
by public opinion that it amounted to
a law, and its victims were legion.
Scores of widows were often burned
upon the funeral pile OF n single ra-
tah In Bengal. the head center of
the monstrosity, thousands were sac
rificed annually. and the figure for all
India was appalling.
The millions of widowed women
were completely at the mercy of the
remcrseless superstition of the times.
The ministers of Brahmanisun told
the widow that her sacrifice was nee
essary as a means of her own happi-
ness and that of her husband in the
future state. and Oftener than other
wise she consented 70 be burned along
with the dead body of her husband.
Unless she did this she was covered
with the maledictions and curses of

he could take his exercise without be-

He left early in the morning. When
II came night he had not returned.
His hosts around the club waited until
