CHEERFUL NATURES.

There are some natures so happily
constituted that they can find good in
everything. There is no calamity so
great but they can deduce comfort or
consolation from it, no sky so black
but they can discover CLEAN of sun
shine issuing through it from some
quarter or another, and if the sun is
not visible to their eyes they at least
comfort themselves with the thought
that it is there and rejecting its rays
on some one else. Such happy natures
are to be envied. They have beam
in the eye-a beam of pleasure, glad
ness, religious cheerfulness, philoso-
ply or call it what you will. Sun
shine is in their hearts and their
mind gilds With its own hues, all that
it looks upon. When they have bur-
dens to bear they bear them cheer
fully-not repining, nor fretting, nor
wasting of energies in useless lamen-
tations, but struggling on manfully,
gathering up such flowers as lie along
their path. 1t is these large and
comprehensive natures that are the
most trustful, and the quickest to see
the moral sunshine cleaning through
the darkest cloud. In present evil
they see prospective rood; in pain
they recognize the effort of nature to
restore health; in trials they find COR
rection and discipline, and in sorrow
and suffering they gather courage and
knowledge and the best practical wis
dom.

New York Concern Gets Order For A Five Ton Truck And Tank, Though Local Dealers
 Enter Lower Bids
Claim That Specifications Were Un- : certain, That Board Demanded No Test And Declined To Inspect
 Competitive Trucks


 Local automobile dealers are con- sidering an application for an injuTc- ton to prevent the award of a con- tract for an auto water sprinkler to Charles Hvass & Co, 511 B. 18th street, New York, at $4,z50.
 The local dealers assert that Hvass was not low bidder, and that trucks equal, or superior, were offered for less money.
 They also complain that the board of contract and supply was unfair in dealing with the local bidders. It is alleged that the board did not cause a test of the trucks to be made. and that it declined to look over trucks offered for inspection
 Among the competing concerns were the Locomobi1e Company of America Elm Auto Company, E. M- Jennirgs The General Motors Service &STruck Company, Harry M. Ford, J. L.. Carpenter, Blue Ribbon Garage, and Consolidated Motor Company.
 Five of the bidders were lower than the successful concern, And several of the bidders offered equipment said to be in every way equal to that which the board accepted
