Easiest Way Hardest.

A philosopher once said we need trouble to keep us stirred up.
 Whether we really need it or not we're so certain to get it that we needn't worry over the lack of it.
 There's way to deal with it, however which isn't as popular just now as it once was. And just be- cause it's become kind of old-fash- ioned and m danger of being for gotten, we're inclined to bring it once more to your attention.
 It's to pitch in and work like Sam Hill and thus FORGET trouble.
 You may think you're underpaid, and you probably are, and if you are we hope you get raise.
 But if you'll dig into your job and do better work than ever before and not look too eagerly for the quitting hour. who knows but that THAT may be the best way of all to move up and on?
 At all events. it will give you one dividend worth a good deal to a poor man: It will tone up youl self-respect, make you just little prouder than you were and seno you home at night knowing you're in no dangsr of becoming a loafer
 Fact is, a lot of us want the easiest way. To get as much ana do as little as possible is our aim. That's wrong; dead wrong. Leave out the employers side. He may be stingy and mean, though the chances are he's about like the resl of us-ABoUT AS YOU'D BE IN HIS PLACE.
 Is wrong because of it's i'll effect upon YOU.
 The woman who has chosen the easiest way finds in time that it isn't half so easy as 1t looked But it unsettles her for steadier life. Unless she's saved young, she's quite likely to drift on down the line-doWn, down and last, OUT.

Public sentiment should be against it. and we believe it is, there can be no reason why ladies should have to suffer with head aches and neuralgia, especially when Hunts Lighting Oil gives such prompt relief. It is simply a question of getting the ladies to try it. All druggists sell Hunts Light ing oil in 25 and Soc bottles.

For the Children
Just at Bedtime
WHY STORKS HAVE LONG
LEGS.

~ nee upon a time hundreds of
years ago. when even the .taliest
N mountain was tiny hill, there
was a lovely land far over the
sea. 1t was full of valleys Of flowers
OF rivers winding through green fields,
OF blue lakes dotting the woods.
And in all the country there was moth
ing but peace and happiness. except at
one place. And. that was on the edge of
the Dark lake. where an old witch
lived alone with her owl in the low OF
q dead tree. Around the witch's hole
the ground was all swampy. and fun
of green water. in which the frogs
croaked and the fogs rose at evening.
So none of the animals or nymphs who
lived in the neighborhood would ever
venture near the place.
Far down the lake on a tiny island
was beautiful vrystal cavern. in which
a water fairy lived. II was carved out
of the rock and the floor made of pink
sand. while shells of all colors formed
,.... "sus. Here m, fairly lived happily
with Snow, her white kitten, and ali the
animais. nsnes and birds were their
frlt nds. But every one hated the witch
She knew this, and 1t made her very
angry. SO that she. planned to play
mean tiiSh ou vie ii ShC ever got
a chance. One night when the witch
had gone off riding in the moonlight
on her broomstick to a midnight meet
ing, Snow got away from her home and
found her way to the hole in the tree
The kitten prowled about, and when
the owl, who was sitting on the stump
flew in her face, she scratched all the
feathers out of her tail Ard when the
witch came home she was rradder than
ever.
Il will get even with the fairy" she
muttered as she hobbled about the
swamp listening to the disin;:i croalJn q
of the frogs. "She is going on a trip
herself soon, and l will get NV chance
then. perhaps Then she wandered
away to her bed of leaves in the hole
in the tree.
Sure enough, the very next week the
fairy decided to take journey to
cloudland. AS she was getting ready to
go a duck came waddling by and stop
ped to chat. She told the fairy about
how sad her life was. for her legs We're
so short and crooked she could not keep
up with The rest Of the flock, and they
had sailed away to the South and left
her.
Wait till / get back said the fairy,
''and maybe will be able to help you.

In a momnt there was no sign at all
of the witch. but at the side of the lake
was a tall reed with a brown. furry

WOMAN recently died, having
~ been the principal in a family
~ feud practically all her life
time. In her last moments she
cried.
Il have been so lonely. Nobody loved
me-"
And. looking backward, this woman
dep!ored the feet that she had not
made peace with those that might
have FRIGHTENED her days. II the
tragedies of the everyday were written
they would contain thousands of such
cases of loneliness and sorrow and suf-
fering in this attitude of NONFOR-
GIVFNESS.
The late Mayor Gaynor possessed
this faculty to d remarkable degree. In
his feuds with members of his civic
family, the great city of New York, he
showed a strong fighting faculty; but
1t was coupled with forgiveness. And
after the argument was over he would
shake hands with his adversaries. This
forceful attribute was well stated in a
letter to "A friend:
EVERY MORNING l JUST, FOR
GIVE EVERY BODY AND THEN
TAKE UP THE WORK WHERE /
LEFT OFF THE DAY BEFORE AND
GO RIGHT ON.
Il often repeat to myself the saying
of Marcus Aurelius: There is but one
thing of real vaIue-namely, to culti-
vate truth and. justice, and to live
without anger in the Ipidst of lying
and unjust men, That makes me con-
tent"
Just so. And each and all of US are
some time or other mad with some
body. And the longer one let's that
madness (for 1t is just that go on
the harder it is for reconciliation: and
the more REMOTE the possibilities OF
reconciliation become until one almost
forgets TO forgive. .
Days roll into weeks, months. and
years. The breach becomes wider, and
often 1t Is never spanned. People who
are neighhors and who must see each
other several times during the day
