Pitchoune, who might have been
considered as one of the infinitesitnal
atoms in the economy of the universe,
ran over the sands away from his
master. He was an infinitesimal dot
on the deserts face. He was only a
small Irish terrier in the heart of the
Sahara. His little wiry body and his
color seemed to blend with the dust.
His eyes were dimmed by hunger and
thirst and exhaustion, but there was
the blood Of a fighter In him and he
was a thoroughbred. Nevertheless,
he was running away. It looked very
much like it. There was no one to
comment on his treachery; had there
been, Pitchoune would not have run
far. . IL.
1t was not an ordinary sight to see
on the Sahara small Irish terrier

DAYS

"Mother's Day" became definitely
established last year as a national in
%stitution, by congressional resolution
and presidential proclamation. "Fa-
theirs Day." which is thus far merely
a state affair, may soon have national
sanction, too. A bill introduced for
that purpose last fall by a Pennsyl-
vania congressman failed of passage,
but the tendency is obvious. The
first Sunday In June may take its
honored paternal place alongside of
the maternal second Sunday in May.
I'VE are becoming a nation of fad
dists," complains a correspondent.
"On every hillside and under every
green tree we are setting up fads to
worship" After Thanksgiving Day
and Memorial Day and Flag Day,

TO admit that It should be needed)'

gelic imitation of Mothers Day, we
have evolved such festivals as Water.
melon Day, Peach Day, Orange Day,
Sheep Day, Cleanup Day, Go-to.
Church Day, and a host of other days
picked out of the calendar for special
observance.
The correspondent suggests that II
we have got to ''bow before such
affairs" we might as well go into the
thing whole-heartedly. and have 4
Cooks Day, a Cops Day, an Ice Mans
Day, a Newsboy's Day and aShoeboy's
Day, and round out the list with a
day of honor for the family horse,
COW, dog and cat, all of which have
their characteristic virtues and are
worthy of reverence.

Being pleasant when everything
goes wrong is one Of the hardest
tasks civilization ever requested a
man to perform. 1t Is a hard job to
follow out the little poem that states:
Its easy enough to be pleasant when
life goes on like a song, but the man
worth while is the man with a smile
when everything goes dead wrong
Adversities may be good for a person,
but when they come 10 rain-storm
succession one doubts the solldness OF
the fact. There is n man In parti-
cular to whom our attention was
called right here in LOrdsbuTg who
has had the troubles of Job, and then
some, within the space OF a few weeks.
Through it all he ome up smiling
aud minus the characteristic depres-
sion of those who care nothing for
their fellowmen and the influence OF
down-heartedness they may scatter
broadcast. A man who can come up
smiling through an over-suficiency OF
troubles is to be admired.

THE HALL OF FAME.

In every community there is a Hall
Of Fame, which may not be set up on
the public square. 1t may not be pre-
served among the tangible treasures
In the State House or the Hall of
History; but IL has an existence more
enduring than any OF these. The wo-
nan who relieves distress, who pro-
vides for the needy, who extends a
helping hand to the unfortunate,
makes for herself a place In the Hall
OF Fame. The man who deals fairly
with his neighbour, who stands for
morality in business, for justice in
government, and who puts his Shout
der to the wheel to push along the
chariot OF progress, has his place, too
aud an undying place-in the Hall
Of Fame.
This Hall of Fame OF which we
speak Is builded In the memories
and the affections of the people. II
is as enduring az time. 1t Is peTpetu
ated from generation TO generation.
This is a democratic Hall of Fame,
for 1t is open moi only to the soldier
who cOnQuers, to the hero who saves,
20 the statesman who directs the
affairs of the nation, to the author
who mOlds the minds of the multi
tude; but 1t Is open as well TO the
humblest nan or woman In the hum
blest walk Of life, TO the boy or girl
who lives and thinks and does the
things that make for a better COM
munity and a better world. Election
to this Hall OF Fame Is not by SER
wants, not by societies Of learned men
and women, but by the people who do
every day the common thoughts, ex-
perience the common Joys and sor
rows. but who, after all, are Of the
salt Of the earth.
