A FIGHT FOR HAPPINESS.
copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure

BY Susan E. CIa9ett.

Tom Marshall knocked the ashes
from his pipe and dropped it into his
pocket before answering the question
of his friend, then he said deliberately:
II had nothing to offer, Jack. Nat
urally, under those circumstances d1d
not ask her.
What fools you conscientious men
make of yourselves" the other said IT.
ritably Did it never occur to you
that you owed her something after
such a summer? Why, man alive, You
were always together. If you were
not riding you were rowing or walking
or sitting on the beach. If she had
been like the rest of the crowd it would
have made no difference. but there are
girls and girls and Sarah Norris is one
by herself
There was a note in his voice thar
made Marshall look at him with
thoughtful eyes.
You too, Jack?"
"Why not? She refused me long
ago. I took it pretty hard at the time.
Then Kate came into my life. She
knows and doesn't mind and Sarah and
I are the best of friends. Because l
know her so we'll, know how abhorrent
to her is this dallying over the most
sacred thing that can come into the

Facial Exercises

Of the eye, and by pulling apart on
them, you can stretch the skin about
the eye trifie--but a trifle will help.
This makes the eye larger.
Try these exercises each night also.
Take a hand-mirror. elevate the eye
brows without raising the lids, trying
not to wrinkle the forehead. Hold
while counting three, relax; repeat
three times.
Close the eyes, relaxing the upper
lids az in sleep. Open the eyes. lift
ing the lids till the white of the eye
above the eyeball shows. Do not lift
the brows. Hold while counting
three, relax, repeat three times.
Distend the cheeks with air to their
fullest capacity. Hold, count three,
repeat three times.
Relax the muscles until the face
becomes complete blank. Raise the
eyes, as in the picture. Smooth the
back Of the head. This gives the
muscular habit OF an exalted express
sion. The cheek exercise overcomes
hollowness. The other exercises help
make the eye grow larger.
OF course, looking your companion
directly In the eye will help give an
expression of strength and depth to
your own eyes. A shifting glance
makes no impression on those about
you.

TIMELY WARNING
FROM SPRING GREEN

To strangers here and those unac-
quainted with the Wisconsin river,
which furnishes SO many beautiful
spots for picnickers, boating, fishing
and bathing, the Spring Green News
offers word of warning.
The shifting sands and rapid cur
rent make Wisconsin river bathing un-
like that of ocean or lake. The great
est danger is in the apparently solid
and permanent sandbars. One may en-
ter the river from one of these bars
today with safety, but it may or may
not be safe tomorrow. Though it ap-
pears the same, it is liable to be hon
eycombed, and many lives have been
lost by the giving away Of these bars,
which frequently not only immerse the
victim, but cover and hold him in
the water.
There are perfectly safe and un-
safe places, and it will be well for
strangers to seek advice from those
familiar with these before entering
the water.

GOING BY AUTOMOBILE

Mrs. Henry Hill, sons Glen and
Harlan, and daughter Mable, accom-
panied by Mrs. John Astle of Merri-
mack have returned from an auto trip
of 1850 miles through northern Wis
consin, Minnesota and Iowa. They
found the crops in much the same con-
dition as in this locality, and report
the roads in pretty good condition,
but better in Iowa and Minnesota than
in Wisconsin. In this state their car
averaged eight miles to gallon of
gasoline, while in Minnesota and Iowa
the average was twenty-three miles to
a gallon-some difference, and indicat-
ing the conditions of the roadways.
The travellers visited relatives at
several different points, a stop being
made at Floyd, Iowa, to see Mr.. and
Mrs Wallace Emerson, and at Cam
eron Junction, this state, to visit Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey HILL Mrs. Hill being
