lT===CONSTRUCTIYE
BY OLIVE A. KILN.

How many of you began the New Year
by recounting to yourselves or your
friends or relatives all the losses and
sorrows that have been your portion
during the year just past?
On the other hand, how many OF you
recounted even to yourselves the many
blessings and beautiful things that have
come to your
1t is a good idea to get the habit of
ihankfulness and appreciation, and to
discard the whining, discouraged, abused,
sorry for yourself habit. So many peo.
pie seem positively happy in their mis-
cry, feeling, oh so sorry for themselves.
Forget it, dear hearts, put it away with
the past.
Start on new era in life, and do not
unsuccessful Cease thinking these
things and you will cease attracting
them.
Try cultNating your mind to the high
standard of your soul, and see how
quickly and beautifully your body, in its
close proximity to such treatment, will
respond and give its most valuable aid
toward the construction of harmony. Do
not say it is too late. 1t is never too
late and it is never too early to start
with the constructive habit.
Give the spirit its freedom and de-
mand thru it hope, happiness and health.
Someone has said that "A good forget
terry is as necessary as good memory
because if you are in all truth, and in
all sincerity starting on the constructive
road, it is necessary to forget the mis-
takes you have made, the snubs and in
justices dancied OF rcaD you have re
ceived and the disappointment you have
experienced.
Perhaps you have hitched your wagon
to star and failed to land said star
There are stars and stars, you know, and
one failure may mean, yea it does mean
greater success if you know the law.
Let each failure, so called, be used as
n blessing to round out your experience
and to enrich your nature. Let it make
/
you more human and sympathetic, there.
by perfecting you to the extent that you
will more fttiugly assume the duties and
resi- onsibilities that go with the greater
successes.
No one is selected for failure. No one
hand, sorrow and trouble come to the
rich and to the poor-as the rain falls
upon the Just and the uni st. This ar.
ticle is not meant to try to induce you
believe that you can escape the loss
of dear ores as well as many of the
lesser troubles in life. but it is meant
to encourage you to believe always in
the good of all things and to help you
to build toward more noble character
healthy, happy, constructive mind, and
body that is alive from crown to toe
vibrating with health, beauty and
buoyancy.
Nine tenths of the so.called i'll health
is matter of habit, Just as nine-tenths
habit. Anticipate health, more health,
all health.
Take care of your body as you do your
business. I'VE refer of course to the
successful business)
Obey the laws OF health and never for
a moment consider yourself as defective
in body or mind. You can achieve
health, success and happiness. All these
are for you, in fact they are yours-the
real you-the God you and the only you
without end. Amen.

MIND BLANK FOR YEARS.
Employed iroquois Theater, Supposed
ags Dead, Recovered to Family. .

Syracuse. \. Y. Aug. 21.--A re-
markable story of the result Of the
Iroquois theater fire in Chicago, in
1903, involving happy reunion OF
mother and son in this city, has just
come to light here.
Unexpected and unheralded. Milton
Simmons walked into his mothers
home here after having been missing
since the day that Chicago was awe
stricken by the destruction of the Iro-
quois theater with a heavy loss Of life
Every possible means of search had
been resorted to to locate the missing
son. but without avail. He was final
ly given up as dead.
Simmons was employed In the the
alter at the time Of the fire. He ope-
rated spotlight in the gallery. When
the fire was discovered he leaped sixty
feet to the main floor of the theatel
where he crawled over bodies to one OF
the exits and was pulled out uncon
scious. His head and back were badly
injured.
After four months in hospital he
recovered and went to Upton, Ind, tc
engage in business In that city he
married. Later he moved to kokomo
Ind, where he engaged in the contract.
ing business.
Meanwhile his mind was blank
regarding parts of his past. He could
not recall the whereabouts of his pa.
rents. He thought them dead.
About year ago Simmons suffered
a severe illness and barely survived
Specialists examined him and discov.
cred pressure on the brain. An opera
ton partly restored his memory. HI
recalled a trip west to Des Moines
Ia, where he had first gone to tn
home of an uncle.
After some correspondence Simmons
ascertained the whereabouts of hi
mother who had moved to this cit!
from Palmer. Mass, where Simmons
was born and lived until he was l.
years of age at which time he went
west. Meanwhile an infant sister ha.
become young woman and Simmons
mother has grown old and gray.

Wheat-Heavy selling for profits
checked an advance early today TO new
levels on the crop. The buying was
general by commission houses and
brokers who usually act for sea5oard
account
Corn-Old corn was sold to New
England points this morning at 81 per
bushel, the highest price in years. The
futures market ruled heavy espe-
cially for the December delivery, which
was on sale in liberal quantities both
by hedgers and longs. Prevailing fancy
prices are likely to bring out a consid-
cradle run of corn during the next six
weeks.
Oats-A liberal run Of new oats tc
market offset the bullish influence OF
wheat and the market did not respond
TO the limited buying which export
houses were doing against their sales.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Wheat again to-
day found a wild excited market based
on news of unrelieved bullishness.
Liverpool prices were sharply higher;
an Italian estimate placed the Euro
pean crop 25 per cent below normal
and damage reports from Canada con-
tinued. The opening was Is to q
higher, with December at $3.50 to
1873. in different parts Of the pit
Heavy profit taking sales met broad
demand and December steadied for the
moment around $780,. A private ex-
pert wired from Davidson, Sask.,
that the wheat of Manitoba and
northeastern Saskatchewan is badly
rusted and stated that threshing re-
turns will be disappointing to grow
ers, In western Saskatchewan, he as
serted, the rust appeared too late to do
the injury which it inflicted further
east.
Entrance of the public at large into
wheat speculation was noted. The value
OF business was immense. A factor was
the estimate of the International 1nstl-
tute Of Agriculture at Rome of a Euro
