LAUGH.

Laugh, and the boy laughs with you,
Frown, and he turns away,
For there isn't a kid who has back
ward slid
But will tell you the same today.
1t isn't all bad, nor is it all good,
This hustling old world of ours;
When craving for sweets there are
lots of cheats
They're handing you lemon sours!
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you,"
But keep your tongue in your head /;
Have nothing to say, but turn away,
For the fellow who didn't is dead;
A frown is kin to hateful word,
But a smile is always at par;
You may borrow your money in time
of peace,
But never a cent in war.
Smile, and the world smiles with you
1t doesn't know how to frown;
With a vacant stare twill keep you
there,
If ever it get you down.
1t has words of cheer for the rough
and strong,
But it shows the yellow streak,
If you chance to slip on the backward
dip
And your courage is growing weak
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you,'
1t prizes a good gruffah;
A gentle tee-hee; sets all hearts aglee
And it's never 'agin the law"
But, the fellow who frowns and fuses
Has hard old row to hoe,
The fellowto blame is just himself
If he cannot make things go.
Keep pecking away at something
If you want the hours to swing,
For the happiest man is the toiler-
o, he's like bird on the wing!
He'll soar any height he wants to
If he only keeps purpose in view;
He may laugh in the face of the staid
old world,
Yes, Sonny-and so may you!

can't learn. But it doesn't make any
difference" she added carelessly
Lots of people cant spell"
The next time Sadie and Ernestine
met, the former was on her way to the
city business college, and walking to
save car fare. A great deal had hap
pened since the two girls had their
talk. A period of financial depres-
sion had caught Sadie's father with a
large amount of salable property on
his hands, and heavy obligations to
meet. In ordinary seasons the one
would have Offset the other, but the
hard times had made people unwilling
to buy, while creditors were clamoring
for their money. Sadie's father was
beginning life over again, and Sadie
was going to help him, as she told her
friend.
I'm studying stenography, and I'm
pretty sure of getting a position by
fall. shan't earn much at first, you
know, but at least won't have to ask
father for money for my clothes"
She was very brave about it and
sweet and CHEEKY. Ernestine went on
her way thrilled with admiration.
Sadie finished her course in about
four months, and secured a position.
In less than a month she was again an
applicant. Ernestine found it hard to
keep track of her during the next few
months, for Sadie was continually
changing. And then one day she tele-
phoned the news that she was going
to try a different kind of work.
I'm not suited to business, any
way" she explained over the wire.
"Everything's too cut and dried for
me. I've got a position now as Mrs.
Vance's secretary. know shall love

Another month passed. Then late
one afternoon Ernestine called at
Sadie's home and was told Sadie was
in. Sadie's voice, speaking from the
top. of the stairs, confirmed that state
ment.

Ernestine assembled with rush, and
the girls kissed each other.

Vance keep you?"
Sadie's answer was deep, burning
blush, and then as Ernestine stared
realizing confusedly that she had said
the wrong thing, Sadie spoke out
bluntly.

HAVE A HOBBY.

The woman who is not interested
in things in general or something in
particular is an embarrassing COM
panion. No matter how beautiful she
may be, her charm will be minimized
or of short duration.
The victim of ennui or indifference
victimiZes everybody about her. Her
friends may look up on her and admire
her beauty, but she is. decidedly I'M
interesting, and even little bit of
her society is generally an overdose.
To be blase is not to be interesting.
If you are weary of everything in life
you need the attention of a physician;
there is something wrong with you,
mentally and physically.
Something new and interesting in
this world is cropping out every min
ute. The most interesting people are
those who see things and get all pos
sible pleasure out of them. An eX-
hibitiOn of indifference to things about
you is not an evidence of intelligence
Intelligent people are the ones whose
eyes are open. That is the way they
become intelligent. Such people are
the most interesting. Sometimes they
are so interesting that even if they

THE STIFF UPPER LIP.

"How can you be SO jolly with that

friend of woman who has not been
strong for years.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
A QUEENS KINDNESS.

When the former Queen Regent of
Spain was about five years old, it is
said, she was taking walk in the
country with her governess when a
violent storm came up. There hap
pened to be no house at hand except
the cottage OF shepherd, and they
rushed into it.
The shepherd and his wife welcomed
them in most cordial manner, al
/ though ignorant who they were. But
their son, small boy, resented what
he thought an intrusion; and, walking
across the room, he gave the little
girl slap on the shoulder. Maria
Christiana was not much hurt but
considerably frightened by this action,
and began to weep in a loud voice,
quite as if she had been a common
child instead of a noble one. But
her kind governess finally quieted her;
and, the storm soon subsiding, they
left the cottage.
Years went by, and the happy time
came for the First Communion of the

was great to see amongst the other
children prepared to receive the
Blessed Sacrament the lad who had
struck her. The kind little girl, who
was paying for all the garments worn
by the poor children on that occasion
harbored no ill-will toward the boy
who had probably forgotten all about
his offense. Hearing that he desired
to be a priest, she offered to bear the
expense of his education.
In due course Maria Christina be
came Queen; then, on the death OF
her husband, Queen Regent; but she
never forgot the shepherds son, who
had meantime become a priest. She
even recommended him to His Holi
ness the Pope as a worthy candidate
for vacant Rishopric. Il want yoI

VAIN REGRETS.

A man has sincerely repented Of
the wicked past, and trusts reason
ably that he has been pardoned; but
he cannot forget that he has cor
rupted another. What agony equal to
the dread that the corrupted soul
shall never repent. That feeling is
voiced by the Psalmist: Deliver me
from blood, o God, Thou God of my
salvation, and my tongue shall extol
thy Justice Cps. i, 16). AS if to say:
am stained with my brothers blood;
wash it out, o Lord, in the divine
cleansing of Thy atoning blood.
When, for example, one had said
things against holy faith, then after
repentance those words haunt him
like the dying screams of his victim
haunts a murderer. What is the surest
solace for that or any other such
horrible memory? The Psalmist gives
it in the very same Psalm: Il will
teach the unjust Thy ways and the
wicked shall be converted to Thee. =
This is paying God back in kind l
may have caused one souls damna-
ton; l will make sure of saving an
other soul. This seems like a panic
stricken motive for concentrating.
Think of it carefully and you will
perceive in it some elements of high
nobility; and trust surely that it will
minister to inward peace.

MORAL COURAGE.

The world owes much to it's men
and women of courage. We do not
mean physical courage, in which man
is at least equalled by the bulldog;
nor is the bulldog considered the
wisest of his species. The courage
that displays itself in silent effort
and endeavor-that dares to endure
all and suffer for truth and duty-is
more truly heroic than the achieve
ments of physical valor, which are re-
warded by honors and titles.
1t is moral courage that characterizes
womanhood-the courage to seek and
to speak the truth; the courage to be
just; the courage to be honest; the
courage to resist temptation; the
courage to do ones duty. If men and
women do not possess this virtue,
they have no sincerity whatever for
the preservation of any other. Each
step of progress in the history of our
race has been made in the face of
opposition and difficulty, and been
trepidity and valor-by leaders in the
van of thought-by great discoveries,
great patriots, and great workers in
all walks of life There is scarcely a
great truth or doctrine but has had
to fight it's way to public recognition
in the face of detraetion, calumny
and persecution.

SPELLING.

No, Lee, if tell you, you'll have

way is to look up the words you cant

AS Lee departed sulkily to consult
the dictionary, Sadie lifted laughing
face to her friend. Her air of por-
tentous solemnity was swallowed up in
plain mischief.

KIND ST. JOSEPH AND THE GREAT
DOCTOR.

One day a fine carriage stopped in
front of railway Office, and the coach
man got down from the box and went
into the Office. Two lawyers were
passing by and one of them after
looking into the carriage said: That's
Dr., the most famous oculist in
London. Where is he off to now?
Some big case, suppose" 3
But the doctor was really getting
away from cases. Helwas going to
Brittany to rest awhile. Drawing near
Easter, he always ran away from his
big practice, and this year he decided
to go to Brittany, on walking tour.
Il will start from Rouen,' he said.
That night he crossed the Channel,
and then began his rambles from vii

walked about looking at the pictures
and statues. Some people still knelt
at st. Joseph altar, which was deco

front of the big statue of ST. Joseph a
young girl knelt, praying feryently.
The doctor noticed her uplifted face,
and something he saw made him come
nearer.
Poor child" he said. "She is al
most totally blind" Going to the door,
he asked an aged woman: who is

GRATITUDE OVERCOME.

There are some women who will
question the suggestion that you can
be too grateful They are of the opin-
ion that gratitude is thing so charm
ing and so highly appreciated that it
cannot be oyerdone. But, as a mat
ter of fact, kindness or favor may
be oyerpaid in thanks, as in other
ways. A woman went to call upon a
stranger in town and was received eff
fusively. Throughout her visit the
newcomer kept emphasizing the fact
of her appreciation Of her callers
kindness. When they said goodby she
repeated a little more strongly the
things she had been saying through
out the call. That evening she wrote
her new acquaintance note which
was an ELUSIVE Thank you" for her
kindness in coming. And the woman
who received it knitted her brow over
it. 81 cannot understand she eX-
claimed; wasn't a nice woman ever
polite to her before" That was one
case where gratitude was distinctly
oYerdone.
Exaggerated thanks frequently puts
a giver on the defensive, so to speak.

flowers from her garden to an older
woman on the latter's birthday. 1t
