THE Big LITTLE THINGS.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

How very, very large are the little
things of life!
We were talking the other day about a
woman who had carried herself wonder
fully through a terrible ordeal of threat
ened disgrace imminent to the one she
loved most dearly, and then had utterly
failed in forbearance and graciousness
toward a thoughtless but repentant
friend, and some one said:
she is one of those people who are
splendid when there is any big occasion
to be met, but failures in the little rela-
lions of life.''
Let some big trial, some great test de-
mand their energies, and they immedl-
ately rise to the height of the need. But
when the great moment is past. and 1t s
just a case of enduring and forgiving the
little pin pricks of everyday life, they fall
ANONYMOUSLY.
They are big enough for the big things.
but not for the little things.
And yet after all who can blame them?
For who does not know how very. very
large are the little things of life?
How the little annoyances sting US!
How the little disappointments loom like
life tragedies! How the little tempta-
tiOns to temper and injustice and unrea-
condolences overcome us! How childish
ly we give in to the little weaknesses!
1.-The little ills of life" says Thackeray
In one OF those wonderful aSideS tnat are
half the charm of his books, ARE the
hardest to bear, as we all very well
know. What would the possession of
ono hundred thousand year. or fame
and the applause of our countrymen, or
the lOveliest and best beloved wOman-of
any glory and happiness or good fortune,
avail to a gentleman, for instance. who
was allowed to enjoy them only with the
condition of wearing a shoe with couple
of nails or sharp pebbles inside OF it?
All fame and happiness would disappear
and plunge down in that shoe. All life
would revolve around those little nails. !"
When lover in the ecstacy of the
wonderful passion says to his beloved. Il
would be willing to die for you." she
thinks he has expressed the acme Of
devotion, and only realizes that there is
something bigger than being able to
make one big sacrifice when she finds he
is not willing to live for her, in other
words that he is not big enough for the
little things.
Help me this day to be big enough for
the little things.
How is that for morning prayer?

For street gowns all draperies are. pref

FINANCING BODYBUILDING.

There are three possible methods
OF raising funds for the building Of
roads in Louisiana, viz:
First-Police juries of the various
parishes may, without am election, is
sue bonds predicated upon the excess
revenues; the limit to the amount
Of these bonds must, of course, be
the limit of the present excess rev.
enue.
Second-Road districts may be Gre
ated in accordance with act 256 of
1910, and bonds may be issued after
an election has been held authOriz-
ing the same. Bonds of this char
! acter are limited in the amount of
issuance by 10 per cent CT the as
sessed valuation of property within
the district.
Third-Certificates Of Indebtedness
may be issued by the police juries
of various parishes, predicated upon
the excess revenues of those par,
ishes. The limit in this case is, as
alraedy mentioned, the present ex'
cess revenue of the parish in Ques'
ton.
OF the three methods mentioned
above there is no doubt but what
the road district bonds issued under
act 256 CT 1910 is the best, as most
parishes have no excess revenues
to any considerable amount.
