A Great Gift.
By RUTH CAMERON.

"A Great NI1ft.
I have a certain friend who, though
lacking most of the things which in the
eyes OF the world make up happiness,
is yet one of the happiest folks I know.
Let me tell you about her.
In the first place. she's what the
world calls an old maid-as a matter of
fact she is far less an old maid than
many married women 1 know.
In the second place, she is very much
alone in the world; married sister
is the only one who is left Of her i'm
mediate family, and she lives three
thousand miles away; two or three
cousins represent the only accessible
relatives.
Then she is poor, not just cheerfully,
reasonably poor, but acutely poor; and
she has the more reason to suffer from
this poverty because she has known
very much better days.
And lastly, she has to work great
deal harder than she is really able to.
And now suppose you would like to
know why she is SO happy.
power of projecting herself into the
lives Of others, Of imagining their
pleasures and savoring their emotions.
And by others I do not mean merely
her friends or relatives, but the people
she passes on the street, the people she
reads about the folks who live in the
houses she passes by on her way to
work.
Life is book to her. and a far more
fascina ting book than the printed kind.
When she is reading it. which is most
of the time. she completely forgets her
own loneliness, her deprivatiOns and
her WEAKNESS.

1 mean by such phrases as projecting

THE NOBEL PRIZE.

The announcement is now made that
the Nobel peace prize, amounting to
$40. 900. will be turned over to the Meth
erlands' government, to be used for the
relief OF the Belgian refugees. This is
a wise decision, IL the announcement is
authentic. Public sentiment, all over
the civilized world. will applaud the
suggestion, in any event. The Belgian
refugees are, in themselves one of the
most powerful arguments for perpetual
peace. The whole world execrates the
necessity which drove those helpless
and innocent citizens from their homes
and made them wanderers upon the
face Of the earth. Nothing in the sit
uation justified the invasion Of Belgian
territory by those who had sworn SOL
EMMY to respect her neutrality. And it
is an object lesson in the utter wicked
ness and brutality of wars, that these
unspeakable horrors have been COM
mitted against a people, merely because
they defended their own homes against
admittedly unjustifiable INVASION
