Sympathy.

It is our human nature to
crave sympathy which prompts
US to tell of our ailments and
petty grievances, generally to
the annoyance of others. Most
all seem to merit it at some Pc
riod in their lives, which are Of
ten but a series of misfortune,
and hopes never to be realized.
Pleasures and sorrows are alike
human heritages. After matur-
ity, while life in most cases is
one continual strain, the well-to-
do are slaves to a desire to rival
the rich, the rich to their riches.
and the poor to their poverty
and should there be no skeleton
in the closet, it is composed Of
clouds and sunshine-a bitter
for most every sweet, for there
will be briars where berries grow.
We used TO read in the blue
backed speller, that age increas-
es the desire for living, though it
lessons the enjOyments of life.
The latter is doubtless true, but
what Of the former, when but
few, if any, aged persons would
live it over if they could. The
young live in the future. Bright
prospects beckOn us onward to
some period of unalloyed happi-
ness, which is seldom realized.
The aged live in the past, and en-
Joy the association of the few
old friends left behind The old
adage that, Life is what we
make it," would have been more
correctly rendered. Life is fash
Toned for u.s." because our char
acters are mostly formed by our
surroundings while we are
young. There are both good and
bad in all. A poet has rightly
said; ITO err is human, to for
give divine" We're all human
folks, and humanity is frail-not
so much difference in us after all
is told. Treat men kindly, and
nearly ali of them will treat you
well, treat them badly, and they
will use you likewise. Try it and
see. Toen let us forgive each
other and sympathize for the
best, because they have their
miSfortunes as well as the worst.
For the bad because they are
bad, and may have been as the
woman said by the worst half Of
herself; "Ill-begotten and born
badly" Then it is right to meas
ure all men by the same stand
ard. After the first pair had
transgressed, and there were but
two of the boys, one killed the
other. Jacob cheated Esau out
of his birthright. David COM
mitted murder, Solomon wor-
SHIPPED idols. Noah got drunk,
Peter denied his Master and the
good apostle, Paul, after having
preached to others, feared lest
he become a castaway. We do
pretty well considering the stock,
don't you think so?

of sins. We have known few

1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-meptal be-
cause of disflguration, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin. soft. white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter OF a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor complexions. red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair. and cost
so little, tnat 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. l., Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

very gratifying that the conviction is
gaining ground that the alcohol evil can
not be reached by preaching "modera

different standard of that-but only by
the same radical measures that have
proved so eminently successful in other
countries. Thus, there are thirty tenn

Austria still occupies very backward
