DiscOrdant Thoughts.

In wandering through your mental
pleasuregrounds, whenever you come
upon an ugly intruder of a thought
which might bloom into some poison
Gus emotion such as fear, envy, hate,
worry, remorse, anger, and the like,
there is only one right way to treat
it. Pull it up like a weed; drop it up
on the rubbish-heap as promptly as
if it were a singing %nettle; and let
some harmonious thought grow in its
place.-Robert H. Schauffler.

A French singer recently attended a

man in his native tongue. He noticed

politeness exclaimed: pardon, mad
am, somewhat the French is difficult
for you. But | am able to understand
your meanness if you will English
speak"

Then and Now.

The old-fashioned woman's idea of
resting was to change her work. She
sat down to darn stockings and rest,
or she got her Bible lesson or nursed
her baby or knit winter socks while
she rested. Resting was getting off
her feet. Today a woman has to buy
herself 20 kimonos and caps and go
off to an expensive sa~natorium and
have a trained nurse rive her the milk
cure, to rest up.-El Paso (Tex.)

determined that the Regin was tor
pedOed by a German submarine. A
great hole was torn in her steel hull.
Her captain ascertained upon an inn
mediate examination that it would be
impossible to keep the ship afloat and
ordered the crew 20 the boats

Dover later in the afternoon stated
that the Regin had been sunk by a
mine or a submarine. She went down
in 10 minutes and the crew of % men
had no opportunity to save any Of
their possessions. She sank between
