A Farmers Wife Wants
More; a Duchess
Often Less.

Yet no doubt they will be less
unsimilar than now, because the
farmers wife has often wished
for more of this earth'g goods
wherewith to enlarge her sphere
Of usefulness, and the Duchess
has no doubt often wished for q
simpler life and simpler Joys:
and so both have made CORE
spending changes in the heavenly
mansion not built by hands.
The woman who longs for
home and for love as its keynote.
If she has sent out love vibrations
to all the world, and envied no
woman who had more than she
here, but rejoiced in all the bless
inss. which have fallen to the
share of others, she will surely
find her mansion waiting. And
she will enjoy it and the society
of those she loves until it Is time
for her to pacs on to other regions
In the Worlds Beyond, and to re-
incarnate again and return to
earth; where, no doubt. she will
then be given the Home Life in
a material form.
The "fate" which she SAYS has
been unkind to her was only her
old self in past lives, where she
failed TO appreciate home life and
domestic affection.
For as we sow we reap. Other
wise there would be no justice in
the universe.
A great Religious Teacher tells
us there are four important steps
In self Improvement, the self
improvement which will enable
us to build good Karma for the
future Good Causes, and there
fore Good Results.
Observation Of what is going on
about us, accurate observation,
will enable us to gain health and
longevity and to sleep peacefully.
People who see, hear and IN
derstand the daily happenings OF
life ACCURATELY are very rare,
Discrimination is another qnal-
, ity to be cultivated. We must
learn to discriminate between our
needs and our desires, our wants
and our necessities: between our
physical tool-the body-and our
Master Mind. The Teacher tells
US this will develop the intellect

new impetus.

The Crash.

The Crash.
Failed" calculated John Valiant
blankly, and the hat he held dropped
to the claret-colored rug like a huge
white splotch of sudden fright. "The

that morning a Vice-president of the
Valiant Corporation-one Of the great
est and most successful OF modern
day organizations; he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning, had
toppled to its fall.
How solid and changeless it had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
so dimty remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
igreat corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings. 1t had stood as a very Glib

brilliant organization. Now. on the
heels of q trusts dissolution which
would be a nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like a card
board. The rains had descended and
the foods. had come. and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
in his revolving chair and was looking

daylight, with a smile that was little

urehead. .
Valiant started as the other spoke at
his elbow. He had come to the win
dow and was looking down at the
pavement. "How quickly some news
spreads!"
