Woman,s Winning Force.

The winning force in woman's life is
first of all, purpOse-a purpose which
carries with it the assent of reason,
the judgment Of the mind and the Ap-
proval Of conscience.
This purpose must be your own
not anOther's. The sorrowful expert
ences Of many women is that they
are always children, with no plan of
life, no will by which their energies
are to be directed.
Don't drift, but steer. Dare TO be
singular. Scorn to degrade yourself
by yielding up your individuality to
suit the within Of the worthless.
Now and then woman stands aside
from the crowd, labors steadfastly and
straightway the world wonders, ad-
mires and crowns the determined
doer, and yet it only illustrates what
growing and exhaustless force each
woman might become if she took hold
Of life with a purpose.
Determine to live for something last
ing. Even goodness fails where there
is no will.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character. You must hammer and
force yourself into one.

1t is often said thet love is blind,

newly married couple, it hasn't much

A few weeks after the wedding a

studio and found the artist and his
bride laughing heartily at some joke.

LITTLE ESSAY ON PANTS
Some Very Interesting Thoughts on
Those Worn by Male Of the
Species.

Pants are Of two kinds; human and
dog.
The human pants Of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs.
Human pants are worn thicker IN
winter and thinner in summer.
The dogs pants come thicker in the
summer.
The dogs lungs are the seat of its
pants. Date 1875, Hostetter's Al
manac.)
White pants are not garment. They
are a business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at much else ut the time.
When 1 was small and on a farm, l
wore pants that were not new.
So far as could find out, they never
had been new.
When they had been first worn out,
by, the first tailless ancestor l had,
they had been patched at all the ven.
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
were connected by other patches.
And sew on.
Where they overlapped-the patches
the goods became about an inch
thick.
And when human legs made of any
material less durable than vulcanized
flint are incased in a set of inch-and-a
quarter Deer Island jeans trousers
patched with every kind of heavy
goods from horse blankets to rem
nants of rag carpet-when, 1 say, any
human neither limbs are incarcerated

the rack, the stake and other religious
pleasantries.
