SEEK THE BRIGHT SPOTS.

Don't Crouch In the Gloom, but Look
Up and Be an Optimist.
He who thinks the world is full OF
coed people and kindly blessings is
much richer than he who thinks the
contrary. Each mans imagination
largely peoples the world for himself.
Some live In a world peOpled with
princes Of the royal blood; some in a
world Of paupers and privation. You
have your choice.
This is a big. busy world. 1t cares
precious little what you think Of 1t or
what faults or troubles you find In It.
Il Is a choice that concerns yourself
more than all others combined. wheth-
er you crouch in the gloom, the COM
panion of hateful COLLINS. or stride In
the sunshine, seeing smiles and catch
ing shreds of song.
Men and women in Gods image were
not made as whining, groveling beings.
They were made to stand erect, men,
tally as well as physically; to labor
well and joyously; to take the gifts OF
providence. whether they be Joy or sor-
row, and bear them cheerfully and
with courage: to add ever something
to the worlds store of happiness. If it
be only smile.
Look upl See how flooded with sun
shine this beautiful world Is when
faced with smiling eyes
If you would win anything. do any
thing, be anything. don't whine

earn a little money during the dull
months of winter.

Under the spreading chestnut tree
a stubborn auto stands and Smith,
an angry man is he, with trouble on
his hands. He cusses softly to him.
self and crawls beneath the car, and
wonders why it didn't bust before he
got so far. The carbureter seems
to be the cause of all his woe; he
tightens half dozen bolts but still
it doesn't go. And then he tries
the steering gears but finds no
trouble there, till wet with prespira-
ton, then he quits in sheer despair.
He squats beside the road to give
his brain chance to cool, and pom
ders on his training in the cores
pondence school, and then he starts
the job once more, until by chance
it's seen the cause OF all the
trouble is he's out of gasoline.

He Didn't Know Very Much, but His
Bluff Won the Appointment.
In one of the Japanese papers are
some "reminiscences of the war with
Russia. and among them is the follow
ing:
When peace was concluded between
Japan and Russia the study of the
japanese language became something
like a craze among Russians. At Har-
bin, for instance, Japanese were In
great demand as teachers of their
mother tongue. Many Japanese bar.
bers and laundrymen shut up their
shops and became instructors Of Japa-
neSe.
not conducted on a systematic method,
many Russian students of Japanese
only succeeded In acquiring a smatter-
ing Of the language.
Then one day a Japanese interpreter
who taught Japanese to Russian rail-
way men at Hardin received letter
from one Of his whilom pupils asking
for certificate Of his proficiency. Az
a matter Of fact, his knowledge Of Jap
anese does not extend beyond what
may be called pidgin Japanese. but a
certificate was forwarded to him as
requested
A few weeks later the interpreter
was surprised to receive a letter from
the Russian Informing him that he had
been engaged by the government as
professor of Japanese at a monthly
salary of 500 roubles.-Japanese Chron.
