the civil wars Foreign war had been
a fine thing for Cowes, since the war
ships bought the islands produce there.
But the civil wars struck the gentry
hard. and Sir John adds the coming OF

the governor as public danger. "Now

Many years ago In San Francisco
there was a bookseller who had an In

who was all astray when it came to
general literature or scientific works.

would ask the price and, without 50
much as bothering to look at the title.
II he saw that 1t was not novel
the seller would roughly weigh it OF
his hand and name the sum. Many q
bargain was picked upsin that way,

Some of natures most active crea-
lures show strange helplessness under
certain conditions Place a buzzard in
a pen six or eight feet square entirely
open at the top. and the bird will be as
absolutely a prisoner as II 1t were her
metically sealed in the Enclosure. This
is because buzzards never begin a
flight from the ground without starting
on run of three or four yards If
they cannot have that preliminary run
they either cannot or will not attempt
to fly. and SO a buzzard will remain a
prisoner for life in jail with wide
open top.

True HAPPINESS.

Il Enables Man ITO Draw Contentmens
From Cup Of Tears
Wordsworth 10 one Of bis poems
speaks of "a man too happy for mortal
ity, We sometimes forget the spiritual
significance Of joy. The stoics believed
that happiness was not essential to
manaEd not to be expected. Happiness
Of a specific kind, based upon good
fortunate to the Individual. is indeed
not always to be expected nor always
to be desired. But the deeper hap
piness and joy that come from the
sure triumph OF the good and the true
are essential to the Individual wen be-
ing and the progress Of society.
There have been those who learned
through beautiful conservation ''to
draw eontentment from cup Of
tears and who came. through life's
higher discipline, to know that there
is deep and abiding joy In the midst
Of pain and Disappointment, joy built
upon the knowledge of LIES greatness
and the ability Of the soul to rise above
the temporary thing.
Such a joy as this is needed to make
man capable Of iIiheriting eternity
here and hereafter. for 1t raises man
above the merely mortal and invests
him with energy to pursue the tasks
that are without end and fills him
with desire to ally himself with the
powers that build the beauty Of con-
tinuing world. st. Paul Pioneer Press.
