The Art of Being Happay.
BY Florence Sutherland.

The very title of this article
suggests the most important
thing for one to know about
happiness: that it is something
we can control, and not some
thing that controls US. We can
learn to be happy, just as we
can learn to be studious, diligent
or neat. It is not matter of
temperament or circumstances.
It does not depend upon health,
money, luxuries, or any such
things. This is the hardest
truth almost in the world for
the people to see. But you must
try to see it. as there is no hope
for you so long as you nurse the
false idea that your joy in life
depends on anything outside Of
yourself. You are foredoomed
to misery.
To prove this, look first at the
concensus of opinion of all the
wise men of time. The teach
ings of Solomon. Jesus, Buddha,
Socrates and Emerson are all
agreed upon this one point and
certainly it ought to have great
weight when there is not a dis
senting voice among the deep
thinkers.
If this authority fails to con-
vince you, consult your own
common sense. Happiness is
nothing but a feeling and can a
feeling mean anything to you
except it be in your own hearts
If you are going to te happy, 1t
is yourself that you must 20 to
work at, and not outside things.
Learn to enjoy simple things.
Now this secret is not one re-
reserved for only a few chosen
souls; it is for everybody, free
as air and water.
And the first things to learn
is to find your happiness in the
simple things of life. These are
with you always, they surround
you every minute. There is air,
there is water and how good are
bread and butter and milk and
all the simple creatives that re-
joice the boby's natural wants.
And there is Joy for you wrap
ped up in every flower, every
tree, in the clouds of evening,
in stars of night, i'll the rivers,
and mountains. Practice find
ing this kind of pleasure. Bet
ter learn to love nature than to
learn to love champagne and to-
bacco.
Again happiness lies in conf
mon things: learn to enjoy that
which is common. | do not

I Coz. 1874.
This is the first of seven lessons
dealing with Joseph, a fact which sug-
gests to US his Importance in the his
tory and the working out of Gods plan.
This particular lesson occurs about
ten years after Jacobs return to the
land Of Canaan. There are many
points Of similarity between Joseph
and Christ CD His name means "add-
ings," see Isa. 9:6, Z; Luke 1878 and
John $3.50. (2) His birth which re-
moved Rachels reproach (30:S4) even
so the birth of Christ has removed
the reproech Of sin, Col. 2:13-15, Rom.
81; 60 The love Of his father, see
Matt. 3:17. ~ His suTerings at the
hands Of his brethren, Ps. 1914; John
1926. 60 His deliverance from pris-
on which was shadow Of Christ's res
direction, Acts 2:22-24. (6) His
marriage to one Of another race, Eph.
49, Z. CD His revelation Of himself
to his brothers, see Zach. 1910, 1871.
Their Envy Aroused.
The cause of the enmity Of Joseph's
brethren was four-fold. CD His tale
bearing, 37:2; his pure mind could not
brook their Infamous SANDERS and he
reported the same to his father. (2)
His fathers partiality as evidenced by
the coat Of many colors (v. 81. Only
the opulent and noble, kings sons,
wore such a garment, and Joseph was
thereby differentiated from his Ia
boring brothers. (3) His dreams, Wv.
st. God was revealing himself In a
marked manner to this young man,
which fact aroused their envy ". lD,
and CD his very virtues were re-
buke to his evil-minded brothers.
Five words will serve to fix this les
son in our minds: Deprivation, Dis
grace, Deiiverance, Deceit and De-
portation.
I. Deprivation v. 23.-Joseph's coat
was symbolcal Of regal power and au-
thority. It was not mere patch
work, but a long woven garment OF
bright hues. His dreams, too, had
had to do with his exaltation above
his brethren. AS d matter OF policy,
perhaps, he ought not to have worn
the garment, but who can question
Gods providential dealings, Rom. s:
2S. Joseph's reception was like that
Of Jesus, John Ill; Matt. H:28.
II. Disgrace, Wv. 2A27.-Stripped OF
the coat, Joseph is cast into a pit,
One wonders if the fact that there was
no water there is evidence of the
malignity of his nine brothers or OF
their somewhat tempered wrath. Jo-
seph had pursued g long journey and
was doubtless hungry and thirsty, yet
these men sat outside eating and
drinking while murder lurked in their
hearts w. 20, rs, 26). Joseph starv-
ing, was, however, in a better case
than these brethren. One among
them, Reuben, had averted a trag:

ou.s, 81 ovsepn IS sold by the very
ones to whom Of right he should
have looked for love and protection,
and now cheaply he was valued, prob
ably a little more than S12. His bitter
cries were Of no avail (42:2D, but
this slavery was the road to a SOW
ereignty.
". Deceit wv. 2e:35.-These broth.
ers are an illustration Of that degen-
Grafton Of character which results
from evil courses. 1t took place with
in very brief time, probably not to
exceed Is years. Their jealousy was
the outcome Of their own evil courses.
The Intervention Of Judah and Reuben
was not entirely above suspicion, and
not one of them had any esteem OF
the truth. They hated Joseph the
dreamer because of his superior sa'
gacity. The commission Of one sin
always calls forth sothers in vain
endeavor to cover the first. Their
ready willingness to deceive their
aged father, and their scornful words
sthy sons coat" reveal the blackness
Of their characters and their abso-
lute lack Of all fl!al love.
Y. Deportation, v. a6.-Reuben, re-
turning. found an empty pit, whether
h, shared the profit Of JoseDh's sale,
we are left to infer. His plan of
deliverance could not, however, have
succeeded. as God had other and great
er purposes in store for Joseph. AS
for Jacob, he had deceived his father
Isaac, and is compelled to reap as
he had sown. Gal. CT. The hated
coat is used es q means Of their de-
cep.ion.
This is On easy lesson to tell, but
care must co taken that It be not over
drawn. Too much description will lose
the ethical and spiritual teaching.
Jealousy aud It's development will be
enough to emphasize the moral teach
ing. Be sure to emphasize Joseph as
a type of the Christ. Do not antici.
pate his other and later experiences: {:
tell your class that the story is to be
continued.
For the older echoiars attention can
be drawn 70 these same truths, and in
addition discuss compromise, parental
egotism, lack Of discretion and lax
discipline in dealing with children.

in the following story from the

"Congressmen say that not in

the first dose, and finally the
cough will disappear. 0. H.

which in some quarters mas
been criticized. His explana-
ton gives to his action exactly
the reverse of the motive which
has been attributed to it by
some.
Instead of being an assump-
ton of dignity, a reversion to
the form and ceremony of d by
gone age, the intent at least was
to seek fellowship in the demo
cratic manner possible with
men engaged with him in a
common duty,
He calls it cutting across
lots That is a homely phrase
conveying a meaning of neigh
borliness, of visiting without
ceremony and hobnobbing on
the front porch. And that is
precisely the spirit in which he
visited the senate the other day
to talk with the Democrats of
the finance committee about
the tariff.
President Wilson has con-
vlnced everybody who has come
in contact with him that he
was sincere when he said upon
his entry to office that he want
ed to learn the Job of being
president. Yes, that's the way
he put it, and he used job in
the vernacular sense.
He admits that he does not
know it ALL and is frank to
say that he is eager to learn.
According to his idea, one way
to learn and the quickest, is to
talk with other men who are
engaged upon the task in hand,
which for the moment happens
to be revision of the tariff.
He has told his friends that
he desires to get the viewpoint
of the others; he wants to grasp
their hands, not to lead them,
but to 90 with them. He feels
that he must know their minds
to understand their course in
legislation. He is unable to
comprehend why this should
cause friction when his motive
is so plain.
1T is doubtful if there has
ever been a president who has
made good so quickly with ev-
ervbody as Woodrow Wilson. y

away 70 plning for what is not.
Another point is, belief in world
ly happiness, but perhaps the
most deep lying thought for US
to master, if we would be hap
by, is our thoughts of the uni
verse itself, or of God. His uni
verse is set for JOY. The squir-
rel in the forest, the fish in the
sea, the kitten by your hearth
stone, and friendly dog who ac-
companies YOUR walk, all are
normally happy; life tastes good
to them.
What I wish to emphasize is.
that one who cultivates the art
of enjoying simple things. who
studies to draw his joy from
life's great ocean of common
things and not from life's novel
ties and heated perversions, who
with childlike mind acceptsthat
which is conditions to adapt
himself to it, who persistently
refuses the false pleasures
of the immoralities, W h o
cultivates day by day the habit
of cheerfulness. and who believes
that he who made US feels kind
ly toward US as we feel toward
our own children. Such a one
will find, in days of trouble, GER
tain hidden and profound re-
sources within himself, a praise
and peace too deep for any ca
lamity to disturb:
And so make life, death and
that vast forever one grand
sweet song. -

A Mass Meeting Called.

In matters political, it is the Gus
tom that each ward in cities of the
first and second class, and in town
ships in counties, be equally repre-
sented
In the city Of Forrest City the same
executive committee has been acting
for many years The same committee
is now acting that had charge of the
Democratic Primaries in this city long
before Forrest City became city of
the second class.
The representation in this commit
tee is not properly divided or appor
toned. One ward has three represen-
tatiyes, another has one committee
man, while the third ward has no
representation in this committee and
no voice in the management of the
affairs of the City Democratic Prima-
rieS whatever.
In order that this condition may be
changed, and that a new committee
be formed, or that additional mem
bers be elected, so that each ward in
the city shall be equally represented
and that the affairs of the party in
Forrest City be carried on as is the
custom in other cities of like class, a
Mass Meeting is called to meet in the
Courthouse on Wednesday evening,
Nov, 26th, at 5 o'clock

 NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Sergeant James Forney and Patroiman Siias Casey of the east Fifty-nrst street station were dangerously wounded this morning by two Italians whom they attempted to arrest in a subway train after the Italians had persist antly annoyed two young girls.
 The young women were the daugh- ters of James r. Turneen. merchant and were on their way home from s shopping trip down town.
 The Italians boarded the train at Forty second street and took seats opposite to the young women. The men were evidently of the better class of foreigners as they wcro we'll dress cd and when searched at the station after their arrest were found |" h' we'll supplied with money.
