The Magic In A Smile
1t Is Easy to Love Those That
smile, But Not the People
Who FrOWn.
By Wfnffred Black

EIss ALICE JOHNS HEDGES
M died in England and left $500
Iva to a woman that she barely
knew.
She left the woman that money be-
cause the woman smiled at her when
they walked out of church together
once in awhile and sometimes she
even said: Good morning"
Dear me-" said Miss alice Johns
Hedges to herself when she saw the
woman that che barely knew by sight

persOn-what smile. 1 declare she

1 wish that 1 had money enough
so that I could leave some to every
person who smiles-at the right time
just for the sake of smiling The
world is so full Of crOsspatches.
I went to buy something at shop
and the woman who waited on me
was so sUllen that I wouldn't stay
where she was at all, and the shop
lost a customer.
Tired2 Perhaps she was. So was
7, and so was the little mother who
stood at the counter with a little
baby in her arms, and another at her
skirts-but she wasn't too tired to
smile
Disappointed? Well. maybe she was
so was land so undoubtedly was
the elderly woman who wanted
some gloves and couldn't get
anyone to listen to her while she told
them what she wanted. III? Did it
make the crOsspatch any better to
frOWn the way she did,
Why do you keep that maid ," said
someone I know to someone ] like
"She stands on the wrong side all the
time"

she has such a delightful smile. She

at her"

There used to be a photograph next

song. night and day.

But one day I learned that the one
who owned the phOnOgraph was an in
valid, one who lay for long hours
alone in tiresOme room, one who suf-
fered great and almost uncomfortable
pain, and I saw the pale face at the
uerStood and began to love the song
too, for it meant comfort and encour-
agement and stubborn resistance to
pain.
When you smile, smile. smile"

the world would have to learn that
song and the lesson that it teaches;

Pensions For Presidents
Carnegie's offer Administers shock
and stimulates Spirit of hide
pendence.
-Rr Garrett p garr-f - -
BY Garrett p. Serviss. =
THE American people needed just

1.-THE American people needed just
such a shock as Andrew Carne-
l. gle administered. 1t has helped
to clear the atmosphere. and to give
stimulating TiiIp TO the spirit of in
dependence which has made this coun-
try what it is. It has caused the Amer
lean people to wake up to two impOr-
tant facts-first, that they ought 10
look out for their own dignity in car
ing for their public servants, and. sec
Ond, that money is not everything. nor
even TIL greatest Of things, in American
eyes.
The idea of having an ex-president
of the United states. or the widow of
an eX-president, made comfortable for
life by the bounty of an ultra-rich
Individual is abhorrent to our entire
social and political system.
When man has occupied the office
of president of the United States the
greatest office in the world, he is not
afterward an object Of charity, even
If his pockets should happen to be
empty, which is not likely ever to be
Ihe case. put II 1t be true that our
presidents have to expsnd, ii order
10 maintain the dignity of their posi-
ton, more money than their salary az
fcrds them, then il is the peoples duty
to see that they do not suffer in con-
sequence The simple and dignified
remedy is to increase the salary, Or
provide a pension from the revenues
of the government If Mr.. Carnegie
Y
out OF his private resources, the whole
world would, justly, point the finger
OF scOrn al this great commonwealth
The proposal TO provide a private
pension for eX-presidents will be a
boon if it sets men to thinking OF
the relative values of things in this
world. It should make the young look
within themselves to see whether there
is not something nObler in their nature
than the money getting instinct.
Everybody needs a certain amount
of money, and the industrious will al
ways get as much as they need. But
there are a thousand things of the
highest Importance to man which
neither breed money nor need it. At
the beginning of your career you may
have to achieve pecuniary independ-
ence, but when you have achieved 1t
stop and think of more important
things. If you do not you will becUrIe
among men what Carthage became
among natiOns-a thing of scorn for
historians, a mOney-bag Obstructing the
path OF human progress.
Even if you should remain poor in
money all your life, provided that you
have developed your better nature have
remained upright and honorable and
self respecting, have recognized the
fact that you have an immortal soul
and Il mind thirsting for knowledge,
and have learned TO look broadly upon
the earth, and up at the stars, you will
be able to meet death with a serenity at
least equal to that Of him who hath
great riches"

a reward the people voted him out of
Office with great enthusiasm in 1910.
Upon his defeat Van Buren, returned
home and continued to run for the
presidency with great energy and per
slstence, being always on the unpopular
side Of every question. He lost the nomi-
nation in 1874 because he opposed the
admission of Texas. thus making all the
Democrats mad. In 1913 lie left the
Democratic party and ran for president
on the Free Soil party, arriving a little
farther in the rear than president Taft
did last November. He continued to
msurge with great energy for IA years
more, but did not succeed in messing up
the electoral vote. He died in 1852.
Van Buren, was as unpopular and as
able as most earnest men are. He was
noted for his extreme and inopportune
He nearly lost the presi-
dency by opposing an interference with
slavery and later on was defeated while
leading the Free Sellers. If he had been
less stubborn in early lie he would have
had less trouble and would have been
enabled to live comfortable in obscuritv
instead of permanently in the eneycIope.

Berlin, Germany. Dec 5.-The Jesuit
question was raised in the reichstag

Van Buren, set out for the presidency
at an early age and advanced step by
step from the state senate and state at
tOrney generalship to the United States
senate, the goveTnorship of New York,
the secretaryship of state, and the vice
presidency. In those days vice presi-
dents were chosen for their mental d.
mansions and after Van Buren, had held
firmly to his seat during Jackson's cy-
clOnie last term he was elected president.
This was a sad joke on Van Buren,,

MEXICAN SOLDIERS As
SEEN BY AMERICANS

Reports from the officers on duty on
the Mexican border are to the effect
that the commanders Of federal troops
are making very little effort to run
down bandits The Mexican federal
army, it is stated, is lying idle in camp
while bands Of sOcalled rebels are COM
hitting depredations even within sight
of their outposts. when a report is
brought to a Mexican federal officer
that there are bandits in a certain
quarter" writes an officer, "he only
sh-ugs his shoulders and lights a fresh
cigaret. They do not seem to take
their duty seriously and loiter about
camp as if perfect peace existed
throughout Mexico. There is no ques-
ton in my mind that an effective army.
even as small as the one Mexico has
in the field, would soon stop the law
lesness in the country. Either the
Mexican army has lost its vitality or
the officers and men IN il are in sym
pathy with the lawless element, which
continues to commit depredatiOns at
