Credit rating books are as impor

men of Richmond as Dun and Brad
street reference books, according to
statements made at the meeting of
the business mems section of the Com

were made on the results accomplish
ed from the 1913 credit rating book
and it was decided to revise the ref
erence for the 1914 edition within the
next sixty days.
Contrary to the opinion of many
Richmond persons, the credit rating
book here is not black list book,
but rather assists persons who are not
personally acquainted with the mer-
chant to obtain good credit. 1t also
protects the merchant against unscru-

city and its suburbs is classified in

specified.

was one of the first to get in to the

+ White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
April 19.-President Wilson detached
himself almost completely from the
Mexican crisis today, diverting his
mind from worry over what Huerta's e
answer might be to the American ul-
timatum by a quiet day in the COM
pany of Mrs. Wilson and their daugh-
ters.
The president arrived from Wash

this morning. He had finished break
fast when brief message came from
Secretary Bryan. Encouraging, but
not final,' was the description given
to Huertas attitude and a brief reply
was dispatched to Washington.
To forget the Mexican situation, the
president took stroll in the morn
ing sunlight. Only MRS. Wilson ac-
companied him. On leaving the hotel
they saw little children struggling for
possession of an American flag.

away from his playmates and raced up
to the president.

He must have known he was observed,
OF that we would have vowed.
For when he took some of our stuff
We chuckled right out loud.
When ma-in- laws false teeth he took
We smiled chuch full of glee,
This burglar was a kind gazabe,
jolly rogue was he.
And when he took Bilrs phonograph
And dropped it in his sack,

He carried off our COO COO clock,
And it ne'er more wi. tell
OF our arrival nightly

And when he took our wife's pink hat,
We hate from tip to brim.
We felt like getting out Of bed
And shaking hands with him.
He took our parrot and we yelled
Aloud in ficndish mirth,
And then got up and helped him pack
For all that we were worth.
We handed him a good cigar
And made him promise that
whenever he came round this way
He'd burglarize our flat.

"It's always morning
somewhere"

There comes to MisSoula today a
woman who is easily entitled to be
known as most remarkable. Helen
Keller Is a living illustration Of what
can be done in the face Of discour-
aging conditions. of what can be ac-
complished under heavy handicap, II
there is courage and faith to support
the endeavor.
It has always been the favorte
thought of the writer of this column
that all happiness is comparative all
wealth and all comfort The measure
OF our contentment depends upon our
basis of measurement, the estimate of
our pleasure is entirely the result Of
the standard by which we gauge it.
Always there is somebody whose
condition is less fortunate than our
own and If We make our comparison
with his status, we shall see that we
are not justified in any whining And
if there are those whose lot seems to
be more favorably cast than our own
it is not justfiable To complain on
that account, for those seemingly for
tunate people have cares and troubles
of which we do not know and which,
no doubt, are greater than any we
have to bear,
The marvellous accomplishment of
Miss Keller instances what courage
and faith will perform. Surely there
was never a person more heavily
handicapped than was she at the out
set of her career, Deprived in child
hood of the ability to see, to hear or
to speak, life seemed to her friends
to hold but little for her Yet she
has become a wonderful influence in
the world, an influence for good and
for encouragement and for inspiration
Her very experience is, in itself an
inspiration. If this woman, deprived
OF almost every human faculty, has
been able to do what she has done,
what right has any fone Of us to COM
plain? What right to say that he has
never had chance9 What right to
fret because his lot seems hard?
Just to know what Helen Keller has
done Is to receive strength to take a
fresh hold upon life, to brace for re-
newed effort. to set the standard a
little higher, to battle more earnestly
for the attainment of the ideal And
to read what she has written, is to
receive new courage in the endeavor.
To hear her speak, that is to under
stand that there is nothing impossible
IL the courage and the faith are there.
Helen Keller should make optimists
OF us all. Her achievement has been
a modern miracle. Yet there is moth
ing more in this miracle than strong
purpose and unfaltering faith. If each
one of US believes in himself and be-
lieves in his ideal, the outcome is as
certain as il 1t were already written.
Every one OF us has something for
which he should be thankful. Every
one of US has something which en-
dows him specially for some one of the
tasks of life. Every one OF us can
justify his living il he will. But this
cannot be done by comparing his lot
with that OF somebody who is, on the
surface OF things, better off than he.
and by bemoaning his own fate. 1t
can be done. however, by making the
best Of everything and by smiling al
ways
See what Helen Keller has done.
THE OPTIMIST.
