 And after the strike comes battle between fve-pound fish and 15O- pound man, squalized by fair tackle, that will put the exhilaration of eter- nal youth into any man-especially if he proves himself worthy to beat the fish at his own game, to take him with all the handicaps imposed by the necessary tackle and win out against all the snags, tactics, leaps and plunges, rushes and feints en- plowed by the battling bass.-Amer ican Forestry.

Why Does a Baby SmiIe2

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestations which is found
in every healthy baby IS smiling. 1t
is a remarkably early one, too, and a
child of month old will often show
a distinctly pleased smile when its lit
tie face is patted or it is tickled. At
first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features, then, as time
passes, flashes up on the face and
dies away again with equal celebrity,
and by the time the first three months
are past is accompanied often enough
by little ohuckles of glee.
But laughing comes later, often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are a year
old, or even more. 1t is, indeed, very
rare to hear laughter before the first
six months are accomplished, and
when it is heard it should be regard
ed as a symptom of unusual intelli,
gence, maybe gratifying to a mothers
pride, but most certainly not to be
excited or provoked.

MEN WHO DO GREAT THINGS
In the Main Are Those Who Consist.
emily and PersistentIy Press
Forward in Life.

"The race is not always to the
swift" II is surely a strange philos-
ophy that substitutes anything for fast
running as a qualification for win
ming a foot race. But it was a wise
man who said that, and it is probably
true, even though there are times
when we scorn and despise such
doctrine. They used to speak of
David Livingstone as "the man who
would go on And it described him
very accurately. Like many another
man there we're a number of good
stopping places in his life, but he
never seemed to see them. But men
make name and enduring fame for
themselves Just because they cannot
see stopping places, but keep their eyes
fixed on the great Turing road ahead
of them. II is the man who will go
on who is going to win the goal, no
matter what kind of goal it may be.
The pace of the running makes very
little difference. The theologians
used to talk about the perseverance of
the saints, and it was not bad sub
ject to talk about, just as persever-
ance is not bad quality for saint
to have. Probably there are not very
many saints made without its help.
That is probably one of the great
reasons why We have so few saints.

Relics Of. Old Persia.

Shuster, the old capital of Persia,
is one of Trans wonder cities. In the
dawn of Persian civilization it took a
leading part. On the bank of the only
navigable river the country can boast,
the city gets its name from the IA
nous ruler. Shapur. who built great
irrigation dams and a noble bridge
across the Kurun, now wrongly cred
tied to the Emperor Valerian. Sixteen
hundred years have left the great
bridge, a quarter of a mile in length,
with yawning gaps, but the water Of
the river runs today through the chan
nels and tunnels made to fertilize a
land that had not yet been overrun
by the Arabic barbarians, who de-
stroyed the culture of Persia.

Man Who Had Put in
Bad Night.

In a Nebraska town there was once
a hotel that all travelling statesmen
avoided except when they couldn't.
There was no heating system, the
only warmth in the house being sup
piled by a small stove in the office.
One bowling night, when the wind
was making about thirty knots per
hour and the mercury was 20 below
zero, travelling man shivered be-
meath the insufficient bedclothes in
his drafty room until about a. m.
Unable to stand it any longer, though
he dreaded to leave the bed, he leaped
out, seized his clothes and ran to the
office. There he shuddered into his
garments, and then began building up
the fire.
The fire-poking aroused the land.

The landlord defended his hosiery
and the travelling man assailed it in
a regular quarrel.
During the disagreement an old doc
tor OF the town, who had been out
in the inclement night and was almost
frozen, saw the light in the hotel Of

long whiskers were covered with frost
and festooned with enormous icicles.
AS the travelling man turned from

EXPLAINING DREAD OF DEATH
Suspension of All Familiar Activities
Is Something the Mind Instructive
ly Shrinks From.

II is the variety of experience which
makes life interesting-toil and rest,
pain and relief, hope and satisfaction,
danger and security. II we once re-
move the idea of vicissitude from life,
it all becomes an indolent and unin.
spring affair.
1t is the process of change which is
delightful-the finding out what we
can do and what we cannot-going
from ignorance to knowledge. from
clumsiness to skin. Even our rela,
lions with those whom we love are all
bound up with the discoveries we
make about them, and the degree in
which we can help them and affect
them.
What the mind instinctively dislikes
is stationariness; and an existence in
which there was nothing to escape
from, nothing more to hope for, to
learn, to desire, would be frankly un.
endurable.
The reason why we dread death is
because it seems to be a suspension OF
all our familiar activities. 1t would
be terrible to have nothing but mem
DRY to depend upon.
The only use of memory is that it
distracts us little from present con.
ditions if they are dull, and it is only
too true that the recollection in sor.
row of happy things is torture of the
worst kind.
