NO ROOM FOR THE WILMER
Looks Habtually Through Eyes
of Gloom.

He who thinks the world is full of
good people and kindly blessings is
much richer than he who thinks the
contrary. Each mans imagination
largely peoples the world for himself.
Some live in a world peopled with
princes of the royal blood; some in a
world of paupers and privation. You
have your choice.
This is a big, busy world. 1t cares
precious little what you think of it,,
or what faults or troubles you find in
it. 1t is a choice that concerns your
self more than all others combined,
whether you crouch in the gloom, the
companion of hateful COLLINS, or stride
in the sunshine, seeing smiles an.
catching shreds of song.
Men and women in Gods image were
not made as whining. groveling beings.
They were made to stand erect, men,
tally as well as physically; to labor
well and joyously; to take the gifts of
Providence, whether they be Joy or sor-
row, and bear them cheerfully and
with courage; to add ever something to
the worlds store of happiness, if it be
only a smile.
Look up See how flooded with sun
shine this beautiful world is when
faced with smiling eyes.
If you would win anything, do any
thing. be anything, don't whine

HISTORY OF VISITING CARD
Became Popular In Europe In TIme
Of Louis XIV and at One Period
Was Ornamental.

Some authorities hold that the origin
stance that when Pericles first laid
! fiege 10 the heart of Aspasia he sent
/ her q bouquet to which, fearful lest
she might not guess from whom the
com Dliment proceeded, he caused to
be attached strip of wood wherein
his name was cut
According to Bertarelli, who, among
others, has been at much pains to COM
pile the history of the card, it is diff
cult to gay whether 1t was first used
in Greece or in China However that
may be, 1t seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not
really obtain to any extent In Europe
until the time OF Louis XIV. 1t
crossed the Pyrenees with Philip of
Anjou when he was installed In the
palace at Madrid, and Louis himself
was the cause of It's being introduced
into the Netherlands.
Then 1t was adopted In Italy, where
II was subjected to much elaboration.
First, the cards showed modest bor-
der Of flowers or leaves; then ap-
peared landscapes. bits Of architec-
ture, allegories, etc. Finally came
scenes of rural life, alternating with
views Of monuments and towns. The
name was printed on the picture of a
wall tree or q fountain.

Considering how obviously fitted
dogs are for police work and Ger
tain services in war it is curious that
more use has not been made of them
in modern times.
or course, now that hand-to-hand
fighting is to all intents and purposes
extinct, dogs are no longer formidable
In war, but for sentry duty or the
finding of wounded on the battlefield,
dogs-as was shown during the Rus
so-Japanese war-can be of great
service.
The ancients employed dogs ex-
tensively as sentries. So also did the
Emperor Charles V and Philip, king
of Spain. while Napoleon urged Mar
mont TO fasten dogs to stakes around
the walls OF Alexandria to keep
guard.
Dog senses are very much more
acute than those of human beings
especially the senses OF scent and
hearing. which, OF course, are invalu-
able for police work.

Before the conversion OF the Emperor
Constantine. the old LAbarum or
