The Root of Happiness
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

IL have" said Lady Orlay, never
known "A great happiness that was not
built upon the wreckage of other happi-
nesses. That is why happy people are
never gay"
In the text the root Of happiness is
indicated. 1t is sorrow.
Sadness is as essential to fulness Of
life as joy.
The proper aim of existence Is per-
feet self-expression. and not a succession
of mere pleasurable sensations. And sor-
row is quite as necessary for the full
equipment of the soul as glee.
A life without sorrows is as a picture
without shadows.
All beauty is an arrangement Of shad-
ows. All charms is the play of light and
shade, and all happiness is a creature of
pains.
You can get no good crops unless you
plough deep And no satisfying content
ment is possible to a heart that has not
been cultivated by the share of anguish.
When you say you are always happy
we infer that you are either shallow, or
that you are forcing yourself to believe
what you think you ought to believe, pos
sibly following the teachings of some cult
that inculcates pulling ones self up by
ones spiritual boot straps.
The desirable life is not all sweet; it
is bitter sweet
Your gloomy days, your experiences Of
rebuff. your failures your rainy seasons
OF sadness, your wistful moments, your
lpangs of dream and longing, they are not
wasted, they are making you deeply fer
! tile. they are preparing your soil TO grow
/ that happiness which is as n ripe, round
apple unploughed hearts grow only crab
apples.
The richest nature that ever lived was
called "a man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief" And out of his sorrow
drenched depths there grew a most amaz-
ing peace so that he said TO his friends:
Peace | leave with you; my peace L
give unto you; not as the world giveth
give | unto you"
And not only is sorrow a prelude to
! JOY, preparatory state for JOY to come,
but it may contain in itself certain in
describable yet very real JOY, if nobly
borne.
For it is we'll known that in practicing
self-denial and undergoing hardship for
one we love, for instance, there is far
sublimer contentment than in self-indul-
gence to safe our appetites.
Then do not look for happiness in the
lighted cabarets, in banquet halls, in the
riot Of amusement. and where the loud
laugh echoes go among the shadows,
down life's dark lanes, where men labor
and women wait, where grinding work is
endured for loves sake, md loneliness
and bereavement and pain are faced with
courage, where the bitter waters run, and
thorns are found, and look with heavenly
insight, and you will find in plenty the
whitest lilies and the reddest and most
odorous roses of this our strange and
wondrous humanity.
Said Thomas Hood in his lode to
Melancholy:
| Then give 10 her her tribute Just.
| There Is no music in tho life
| Her signs and tears and musings holy.

HOw's Your Patience? It's
a Great Cure-All and the
Greatest Human Asset.

Greatest Human Asset.
Patiencel
1t is the greatest human asset
1t is the secret of every accomplish
ment.
1t is the secret Of every success.
1t is the secret of all happiness.
Patience has been defined as sorrow S
salve."
Shakespeare said Of it:
"He that would have cake out of the
wheat must tarry the grinding"
Patience is the secret of catching fish.
The exercise of patience would go a
long way toward solving our divorce
problem.
It is the first essential to the accumu-
lation of wealth.
Patience and patience alone can gain
life everlasting.
Without patience we would know no
such thing as perseverance and to per.
severance we are indebted for the prog
ress of the centuries, for the wonders
given us by inventive minds, for the wea-
pons that have been given US against dis
ease, for the spread of Christianity and
the advancement of civilization.
It was Robert Bruce who watched the
PATIENT and the PERSEVERING
spider and whose inspiration resulted in
Bruce winning back the Scottish throne.
A policy of patience has seen us safely
through the complications for which the
European war has been responsible, and
KEPT US AT PEACE.
The same policy of patience will solve
The Mexican problem and spare the blood
Of the sons of our mothers.
The man you find scoffing at moral,
political or economic reform, simply
lacks patience.
He lives in the immediate present and
ID not content to wait and live better and
be better off in the future.
He refuses to exercise the patience
that would mean so much to his children
and his children's children.
The suicide lacks patience.
The man without patience is easily dis
couraged.
Patience gives one hope and confidence
In his fellow man, and life appears to him
with the bright side up.
For instance:
DR.. Plimmon Fl. Dudley is the head Of
the New York Central railroads staff Of
scientists.
Having been connected with a great
corporation, it is just possible that the
doctor hasn't come much under the per-
sonal and critical eye of the president of
the railroad.
But if the president had happened
around where the doctor kept himself at
any time during the last SO years, work
ing on his greater idea, he would have
found him puttering around at some
thing and apparently producing very lit
tie in the way of results for the New
York Central.
If the president of the road had hap
pened around every day during those 3S
years and had said, well doctor, what
have you got to show me today in re-
turn for what the railroad is paying
your" he would have been told exactly
1884 times, Nothing"
But the New York Central railroad
had patience while DR.. Dudley patiently
kept ut work studying trackage condi-
lions with view TO finding a way "a

The doctor has been with the railroad
20 years and 80 of those years have
been given over to research in the direc-
ton mentioned.
And now it is announced by the New
