Sacramento made the voyage to
Mania without me, returning
safely to Boston. On the next voy-
age she was wrecked in the Med

With the passing of the old

an increased proportion of boys

Did you ever hear the Poet-scout
Capt. Jack Crawford recite his
original poems of life on the plains!
How lonely one feels in the midst
OF the eternal hills! This sense of
lonliness is also overpowering to
one who is stranger in large

one to speak a pleasant wordof
greeting to you or give you the
glad hand; on every side is selfish
ness and distrust. tits true many
families live in houses adjoining for
years and remain strangers to one
another.
A few years ago two stock brok-
ers were chatting in the lobby of
the Waldorf-Astoria and after ex-
changing addresses found they had
lived for ten years in houses adj
jacent to each other.
Is this caste or is it an inherited
Instinct Of self-preservation? A
combination of both is somewhere
near the reason for this seemingly
hostile attitude. Even the eleemos-

cold when the secretary in charge
of the woodpile is absent. This
policy has its defects when deserv-
ing men are caused needless suffer-

will spur the respondent to further
efforts that are usually successful.
In one of the exchanges coming to-
The Mirror Office is noted the as
sertion that nearly all persons who
stop and ask for temporary
charity are deserving and should
not be refused. In all large
cities are professio pan
handlers who solicit aid and collect
several dollars night, in spite of
this fact New York and Chicago
contain many persons who require
temporary financial assistance, and
working on the theory that it is
better to give up coin to ten pro-
fessionals rather than one genuine
ly deserving person should be re-
fused, it is wise and benefcient
plan to scatter your largesse to all
who ask thereof. By doing so you
maintain clear conscience and in
crease your bump of gene rosity.-
So scatter rays of sunshine where
ever you go.
