JOY IN LIVING.

JOY IN LIVING.
There is lots of joy in living if you
strike the proper gate;
1: you always come up smiling in the
face of every fate.
IF you're keeping step and whistling
some lively little tune,
You'll be living gay and happy as a
summer day in June.
Keep a Ievej head, don't worry, help
your brother on the way;
Let the sunshine of good humor shine
upon you ev'ry day;
Speak cheerful word at all times,
never knock your fellow man,
And you'll surely be rewarded-just
keep doing all you can.
There is lots of joy in living if you
live your life Alright
Lots of sunshine and of roses, keep
your eyes turned to the light,
Look behind the clouds of trouble;
there's silver lining there,
And you'll find it if you're only living
life upon the square
Scatter good cheer like the thistle
scatters seed before the wind,
And the petty woes and troubles soon
will be left for behind,
Be booster" every minute, help
along your fellow man,
And you'll surely be rewarded, just
keep doin gall you can.

CHATTER OF WOMEN
AND THEIR WAYS.

Oue HedlS SOOu zeal ABOUT the
eternal feminine, but how about the
eternal masculine? Ted was young,
rich, good-looking and fond of the so
ciety of women. Amy was also YOUNG
and pretty and had never been in love.
And they become man and wife.
They got on splendidly together. Amy
asked for very little in the way of af-
lection and was perfectly contented
with Ted's cool kiss of greeting. At
first, moved by an impulse of gratitude
for the pretty things he gave her. She
would kiss him of her own free will.
but he never responded, and gradually
she confined herself to a Thank you
so much" and a sweet smile. But his
GOODNESS toward his wife did not mean
that he was impervious to the bland
ishments of the feminine sex. Far from
it. But his taste was for women who
were SNOWY, noisy and entertaining
and much Of his leisure was spent
among the habituees of the dance halls
Amy never inquired where he spent
the hours that he was not with her.
She really didn't care A good opera
occasionally Of classical play, to
which Ted never refused to take her if
she asked him, quite satisfied her. And
she enjoyed herself with her books or
working for the poor.
But change came. Suddenly and
without any warning. Ted found him
self in financial difficulties. He had
never kept much account Of his ex-
penses, and was astonishhed to find
that after he had paid his creditors he
had very little left Every year he had
dipped into his capital. OF course, he
had to tell Amy. and he was the most
surprised person in the world when
she took the news calmly and uttered
no word of reproach. In fact, she laid
the blame on herself.
ut is my fault she said: Il ought
to have looked more carefully after
your expenses"
She set to work, and, although in all
her young life she had never desired
any thing without getting it, she very
soon accustomed herself to living on
smaller scale This touched Ted and
had got as much happiness out Of mat
rimony as he might have Gone. AMI
when the lady who was helping to
spend his cash refused to allow him to
see her now that he was unable to
shhower presents on her, he took to
spending his evenings at home, he was
surprised to discover what an enter
tanning companion his wife was True,
she couldn't sing risky songs nor do
high kicks for him, but she could con-
verse in an agreeable and amusing
manner about anything from dancing
to astronomy.
Then the baby came and Ted was
the happiest father in New York, and
as he sat in the lamplight watching
the young mother bending over her
child he said to himself, What could
man want more in the whole world?'
And so they liver happy ever after !?
Not at all. Ted recently inherited a
comfortable sum of money and is as
regular haunter of the Gay White
Way as he ever was and Amy sits at
home and makes frocks for the baby

Give Marble Chance to
Expand, Is New Method
Perfected for Quarrying

WASHINGTON, July Specification
of a method by which 1t is claimed ex-
cessive waste in marble quarrying may
be avoided and in consequence, thou
sands of dollars saved, was announced
today by the bureau of mines.
Bureau officials explain that one of
the prolific sources of waste is the con-
dition of internal strain in the process
of quarrying which causes the rocks
to break up into irregular fragments.
To avoid this waste 1t is suggested
that rows of deep. closely spaced verti-
cal drill holes be projected across the
quarry in such a manner that the rock
may expand and partially close the drill
holes, thus giving relief from strain
without the destructive fracturing. This
method, it is said, has been tried out
and proven a success.
The bureaus figures indicate that
from so to rs per cent of the marble
quarried in many localities is wasted
unnecessarily.
