A little more care in restraining

Much Truth About Health in Article
That Probably Is Meant to
Be Humorous.

Health is a matter which was once
very popular, but it has long since
grown into disfavor. In these strenu-
Gus days the securing of health con-
sumes altogether too much time. 1t
cannot be acquired without detention
from business. Not only does it in
terfere with business, but with pleas
ure as well.
Health requires too much sleep. too
much fresh air, too much food OF vul-
gar simplicity and too many clothes
which are more comfortable than
stylish. Health is like anything else.
In order to have it one must give at
tention to securing it, but when the
securing of money engrosses all of
ones time, manifestly health must
take a back seat. We still have tradi-
tons about health much like the ira
ditions about the soul, but these take

Too Frequent Losses of Temper Re-
suit in Much Misery Which Might
Easily Be Avoided.

Possessing apparently all the essen
tials that make for comfort, ease. and
happiness, more than a few homes
fail to give this expected result, and
someone has asked: What is gener-
ally the cause of this?
To put it very plainly, unnecessary
exhibitions of temper more quickly
than anything else mar the harmony
of a home. There may not be open
strife, but temper. as little riffs with

Modern Aeson.

One day, in the presence of the Fox.
the Tortoise was Dragging to the Hare
of his ability as a runner. The Fox
was very derisive of the Tortoise's pre-
tensions, whereupon the Tortoise,
winking at the Hare, offered to bet
the Fox considerable sum of money
that he could outrun the Hare. The
Fox lost no time in putting up the
money, and off the contestants started.
The Hare took a big lead at once, but
after getting comfortably out Of sight,
wandered away from the track and fell
asleep. The Tortoise accordingly was
the first to reach the winning post.
The Fox went off cursing at the loss
of his money, and when he had gone
the Tortoise divided his winnings with
the Hare. Ever since that time bet
ting on races has been an uncertain
sport.-Life.

Rrownina,s Disappointment.

Robert Browning's great hopes for
his son we're not fulfilled. One of the
poets disappointments was the rejec'
ton of a statue by "Pen" sent to the
academy in the sos.
Though Pen Browning's statue was
rejected, two or three pictures paint
ed in Belgium, clever in hard, real
istic technique, but very far from
beautiful, were hung at the academy.
Browning was sensitiveiy anxious
about the reputation of these works.
On one occasion, when he was show
ing his sons pictures on studio Sun
day, he said to friend who mentally
noted the saying with it's rather
strained modesty: you see, people
expect so much from him because he
had clever mother" One of the pic
lures, by the way, represented an ex.
ceedingly large pig. There was no
kind Of impression about it. 1t was a
pig seen through no temperament at

"Economizing sometimes produces

when we moved last October we

money by using those same tags

From Ocean Grove to New York is
quite a step in more ways than one;
and from a popular evangelist's SER
mons on 1.-The Shortest Road to Heav-

a step.
Both of these steps Mrs. Sanity has
taken. She was sitting in her sisters

"That is true, Lizzie; 1t was 1rreg-
ular. and certainly very announcement.
And it is serious enough, SO FAR as
breaking my engagements is con-
2erned. But the circumstances were
yery unusual and-pressing. Some
one else gave the message at the no
tel. and, as you know, had no time

THAT'S what / said when the re-
oorters came-that you were so Wor-
rfed over your sick relative that you
did not wait for anything"
Agatha groaned. "Did--did the pa
pers have much to say about my
leaving town"
"They had columns, Miss Redmond,
and some Of them had your picture on
the front page with an announcement
30 your elopement. But Mr.. Straker
contradicted that; he told them ne
had heard from you, and that you
were at the bedside of a dying rela-
tive. Besides that, Miss Redmond, the
difficulty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack Of a probable man.
Your manager and your accompanist
were both found and interviewed, and
there wasn't anybody else in New
York except me who knew you. Your
discretion, Miss Redmond, has always
been remarkable"
Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie.
VERY well, Lizzie, that will do. You
may go and get your own things UNI
packed We shan't return to New
York for several days yet"

course. Miss Redmond?"
mo, but / have written to him, ex-
planning everything. Why?"
"Oh, nothing; only when | sent him
word that l had heard from you, he
said at first that he was coming here
with me. Some business prevented
him. but he must have telegraphed."
Maybe he has; but it takes some
time, evidently, for a hidden person
TO be discovered in Ilion."
AS soon as the words were off her
lips, Agatha realized that she had
made slip. One has to look sharp
when talking to a sophisticated maid.
But were you hiding, Miss Red
mond?" Lizzie artlessly inquired
"Oh, no. Lizzie; don't be silly The
telegram probably went wrong; tele,
grams often do"
Not when Mr.. Straker sends them,
proffered Lizzie. But if his kilograms
have gone wrong, you may count on
his coming down here himself. He is
much worried over the rehearsals
which begin early in the month, he
said. And he got the full directions
you sent me for coming here; he
would have them"
Agatha knew her managers peril
racity when once on the track of ar
object Moreover, the humor of the
situation passed from her mind, leav
ing only vivid impression of the
trouble and worry which were sure tc
follow such a serious breaking up Of
well established plans. She was rare
ly capricious, even under vexation
but she yielded to caprice at this
moment, and one, moreover, that was
very unjust toward her much-trieC
