POETRY.
The Road to Happiness.

This is the road to Happiness;
Start Now, from Where You Are;
Turn to the right and Keep Straight
on
And you'll not find it far.
Along the Path of Willing Feet
And over Hearts ease Hill,
Across the fields of Sweet Content,
The stream of Glad Good will;
Then through the lane of Loving
Heart
The gate that's called Today,
And down the steps of Little Things
Into the Common Way.
And take the Cloak of Charity,
The staff of Wise Employ.
A loaf of Bread of Daily Grace,
A flask well filled with JOY;
A word Of cheer, and helping hand,
Some good to give or share,
A bit of song, high resolve,
A hope, a smile, a prayer.
And in the place of Duty Done,
Beside the Door of Home.
You'll find the House of Happiness
For Happiness does not roam.

The Boy That Laughs.

I knew a funny little boy,
The haDpiest ever born:
His face is like a beam of joy,
Although his clothes are torn.
I saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for a groan:
But how he laughed! Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
No matter how the day may go;
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth a dozen boys / know,
Who pout, and hope, and sigh.

feature Of the Wisconsin Anti Tuber-
culOsis association work was in
augurated this week at Madison when

Of the association that more people Will
be reached, and more facts relative to
the spread Of decease and methods OF
prevention will be disseminated than by
any other feature Of the association s
work
While the three films that comprise
the exhibition deal with disease, its re-
suits and means by which it is spread,
they are as entertaining as any purely
amusement films seen in the motion
picture theaters In the Red Cross
Seal, " for instance, humor, pathos and
tender love theme are mingled in such
way that, while half the audience
generally is left in tears at the con
clusion, the morbid story Of the play
does not leave a depressing feeling.
In addition to "The Red Cross Seal, :"
which has been the most successful film
of its kind ever produced, there will be
THE Wedding Bell" latest Of educa
tional films and one which has just
made big hit in New York and other
cities of the east, and 1.-The Man Who

far reaching results.
