Howard's specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia by The
Bassett Drug Co. means the saving
of few dollars on every family's
yearly bill for medicines.

Drug Co. sells it for 25c.) contains
sixty doses Of a medicine that is
pleasant to take and which can be
depended upon to cure the worst

Optimism-and nothing else--is
grinning dont-know and devil-may-
care idiocy. To those who are not
afraid of the dark and sure another
day will dawn-whose jealous regard
for mundane welfare doesn't dis
credit the absolute zero-who under
stand that people limp not from
choice but because they are lame
whose confidence in others as well
as self is smilingly immune to an
unrest which conscience tells is
needless, proftless and harmful al
ways-life as He made it Is well
worth while. 1t is the destiny of
mankind to climb always to higher
and better things-to improve in both
actualities and ideals. History is
the oldest and best warrant OF end
less patience and that infinite toll
Grafton taught by the Nazarine-and
what is history but a triumphantly
human humanity, with all its few
cred anxieties which at one time
seemed SO important done into cos
mic but helpful debris-embodying
that old, old lesson likewise, that
we can safely leave to the future
some measure of progress toward
ultimate perfection, and that the at
tainment of that halo which some
insist all should wear takes time
rather than the good Offices Of those
who would dam the waters OF the
Nile with bullrpshes of unreason and
as companion and understudy to
give st. Peter the wink and
pass handmade angels through his
gate every minute.

sufrRAeE AMEND
mENT DEFEATED

The House Of Representatives last
Tuesday night, by vote Of 2O4 to
ia, refused to submit to the states
an amendment to the Federal con-
stitution to enfranchise women. The
question was before the House on
the Mondell resolution to submit a
constitutional amendment providing
that the right of suffrage should not
be abridged "because Of SEX" A
two-thirds Affirmative vote was nee
essary to pass the resolution; it
was defeated by majority Of
thirty. Party lines were not strictly
drawn in the fight, though Demo-
cratic Leader Underwood, voicing
the attitude Of his party that suf-
frage is a state issue, strongly OPP
posed the resolution, while Republi-
can Leader Mann was one Of the
chief speakers for the suffragists.

In the Garden of Life try and elm
mate hate, fear, prejudice and within.
Greet the day with gladness, be-
cause it will give you an opportun-
ity to work. Do not try to kill
time, time does not try to kill you.
Take your medicine, when Fate
sends it, and make no wry face, and
if you possibly should have a
tumble now and then, always be up
when the Referee counts ten. Seek
to be truthful, simple, direct, mod
crate, minding your own business
and not bothering other folks any
more than you have to. Believe in
useful industry, good cheer, fresh
air, sound sleep, good digestion and
kind thoughts; and believe that the
attitude of good win, courtesy and
reciprocity will bring the best pos
sible results that are to be obtained
by anybody, either in this World or

They who lose sight of the fact
that there are other people in the
world, who do not frequently fee
the presence and needs of others
who cannot rejoice and sorrow with
others, who cannot often find their
highest pleasure in laying aside their
own particular likes and dislikes and
joys and griefs in order that 9TH
ers may have more sunshine in their
lives, who cannot "step out of the
sunshine into the shade to make
room for others"-these are abnor-
NAL to dangerous degree and
should be treated for it just as we
should treat homicides and larcen-
ists-with no greater harshness and
no less, albeit their peculiar form
of undevelopment endows them with
infinitely greater powers of working
here in the chosen calling of second

these, of all our "bughouse" brethren

that this sin Tor disease) attacks

we are wont to accredit as the rep

who have and don't care a damn

tive bodies, our promoters who pro-
mote themselves on the fallen |

lers and all that sort of fellers. And
back of this class is the still larger
class Of those who would if they

WHY7

Why idly seek from outward thing,
The answer inward silence brings?
Why stretch beyond our proper
sphere
And age, for that which lies so near
Why climb the far-off hills with pair
A nearer view of Heaven to gainf
Enough for me to feel and know
That he in whom the cause and end,
The past and future, meet and blend,
Guards not archangel feet alone,
But deigns to guide and keep my own ;
And whispers in my spirits ear,
In tones of love, or warning fear.
A language none beside may hear,
To him from wanderings long and
wild,
I come, an overwearied child,
In cool and shade his peace to find,
Like dewfall settling on my mind,
Assured that all / know is best,
And humbly trusting for the rest.
I turn from fancy's cloud-built
scheme,
Dark creed, and mournful eastern
dream
To the still witness in my heart
With reverance waiting to behold
His avatar Of love untold,
The eternal beauty new and old!
