A charming woman who was re-
Gently asked how she managed to get
along 90 well with disagreeable peo-
pie said: ut 10 very simple. All do
is to try to make the most of their
good qualities and pay no attention
to the disagreeable ones" The people
who help US most are those who, like
this woman, ignore, or, rather. try to
eradicate our faults, by drawing out
and emphasizing our better qualities
and attuning our minds to high
ideals.
We are all Of US constantly. but
unconsciously. molding others by our
thoughts about them. The qualities
you see in your friend and those with
whom you come in contact you tend
to enlarge. II you see only the little.

you will help to develop these quail
ties until they crowd out the base,
unworthy ones.
An opportunity to associate with
people who see the best instead Of the
worst In US Ii worth far, far more
to US than an opportunity to make
money. It increases q hundredfold
our power to develop noble charac-
tiers.
Whenever you hear q person trying
to belittle another, discard him from
your list of friends, unless you can
help him to remedy his fault. Do not
flatter yourself that those who tell
you of the failings of other people
and criticize them and hold them up
to ridicule, will not treat you in the
same way when an opportunity pre-
sents itself. Such people are incapa-

The disposition to see the worst
instead of the best grows on one very
rapidly, until It ultimately strangles
all that IL beautiful and crushes out
all that IL good In Us. No matter how
many times your confidence has been
betrayed. do not allow yourself to
sour. do not lose your faith In people.
The bad are the exceptions; most
people are honest and true and mean
to do what L. right. When everybody

Pier Pile His sepuIcher7


A weird explanation of the disap-
pearance of a workman while the Gar
den pier at Atlantic City was In
course of erection, more than q year
ago. is given much credence. 1t was
believed that the workman fell into
the surf and was drowned. but the
present rumor is to the effect that he
fell into a caisson in which a monster
concrete piling was being nodded, and
is solidly imbedded in this piling.
Color is lent to this theory by the fact
that no trace of the workman's body
has been discovered. and other work
men expressed doubt at that time
that he fell into the ocean,.
One of the workmen stated that an
automatic continuance discharged q
ton or more of concrete into the Gals
son q moment after the workman fell.
as It was believed, into the surf. It
is his theory that the mans body was
deluged with the concrete. and that
the piling was completed as a grave
for the man.

as they may be cited in support Of the
Presidents demand for a direct EXPIRES
sion from Germany as to whether or not
she intends to abide by the cknowledsed
principles of the international law.
There were some persons, however.
who had the idea that the President

course for the purpose of relieving the
tension which is likely to result from
a long delay on the part of Germany
in answe ring this new note. An ennis

is no expectation that the German for
eign office will answer the Presidents
latest communication until this envoy
has arrived. That will be at least ten
days from now. President Wilson and
his advisers desire to give the Berlin
government an opportunity to receive
the information on the situation which
ssador Won Bernstorff's represent
alive is bearing. Should the United
States have sent its note Friday night
calling upon Germany for a prompt ex-

lay in the response might have added
