KEEP SMILING
By T. W. l..

Every man whether in prison or
out should always endeavor to do
his best at all times and under all
circumstances, for it is only by Civ
ing of our best, that we can ever
succeed in climbing upward; and
another thing we want to remember
is that our fellow men with whom
we are toiling may have much heav-
Ter burdens to bear than what we are
carrying, and our cheerfulness may
be the means of a victory for them.
A smiling countenance is not only
cheering to others but quite often
it will prove to be an inspiration to
our fellow men to buck up" and
look for the sunshine, rather than
the clouds, as we go through life.
This applies to us here in prison
most particularly; therefore we want
to bear this in mind and Keep a.
smilin'," for by doing so we shall
not only help ourselves but the
other fellow too. Of course this is
hard at times, but then any thing
worthy Of accomplishment is as a
rule more or less difficult, otherwise
we could all be "Morgans" or Car
nagies."

The Increasing Spirit of Helpfulness
Evident in our Social and Literary -
Endeavors.
Endeavors
By Pemdenmis. =

There is a growing sense of helpfulness
that is easily perceived in the activities OF
everyday life. You notice this spirit OF
willingness to help others in the newspapers,
periodicals. and books of to day.
1t is found sometimes on the front page
of a newspaper under the scare-head, as if
printers knew of it and felt so glad over
it that they contributed heading of large
type to advertise il.
Nearly every paper that reaches me has
something in it about people helping each
other. Now it will be an account of some
one getting people together to work out
some problem in social life. Again, you
will hnd'the news of an important political
event in the history of community, tel
ling how thousands of people joined hands
and helped one another by helping each
other. Then, again will appear an item
giving the news of an investigator in the
mechanical arts, who has created some
thing that was long needed by every body.
Or there will be news of scientist who
has discovered something of great value to
suffering people.
In the periodicals there are appearing an
increasing number of articles teeming with
the spirit of helpfulness. The writers Of
which have been busy thinking about some
serious question and having solved it in
their way, pass their solution along to other.
who have worried about the same question.
The spirit of helpfulness is found ir
many of the books of to day that are com
ing from the press, fairly bursting with
ideas and efforts to help those who will
read. Some of these heralds of the new
spirit have been announced in the new.
items, reviewed in the periodicals and dis
cussed in open assembly. Thus sending
forth rays of helpfulness, lightning up the
dark places and making many who need to
be glad-very happy.
You cannot read newspaper without
finding many items about people who are
helping to make the world brighter place
to live in. The literature of the periodicals
and books is full of live energetic spirit
of helpfulness.
