staring at the ugly wall paper of her
tiny room, but for once she was I'M

that mealtime was near. Alma rose
with shudder and hastily undressed.
She meant to be in bed, and feigninG

MONEY AS A HANDICAP.

A quarter of a century or more ago
it was customary to regard the child
of poor parents, il he had natural
ability, as more likely to succeed in
the better things of life than the child
born with wealth, says The Kansas In
dustrialist. N more recent ears there
has been a tendency to point cut the
advantages of being born rich, it be-
ing urged that the 10y or girl whose
parents had means did not have to
concern himself about anything ex-
cept his education, and therefore
could obtain training leading to great
er success in life.
Reversion to the older idea is made
by DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbu president
of Leland Stanford university, who
says that IN his institution expert
ence has shown that the poor boy has.
on the whole. made a better record
both as a student and afterwards. -
President Wilbur has sent a letter to
the parents of all his students, point
ing out the handicap of wealth to q
student, particularly if he is allowed
to spend it freely
1T takes time to run a motor car
and it often leads to life off the
campus, to extravaganza and much
foolishness," says the letter, adding.

And the club women of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, are so wrought up over the
fact that the bakers in their midst are
selling only a 21-ounce loaf of bread
for 7 cents, that they have launched a
movement to teach at least their COM

bake their bread at home, it having
been demonstrated by some of the
girls IN the domestic science depart

Winnipeg that it is possible to home
bake the same sized loaf of bread for
four and one-half cents. and the claim
is made that this home made loaf is
even more nutritious than the one

GIVE ME A VIOLIN.

When 1 went down the winter street,
Cheeks tfngling with the cold,
1 met a man to hurt my heart,
Ragged and bent and old,
These things must be. the world is full
OF sorrow crossed with sin,
But underneath his flimsy coat
He Rugged VIOLIN
We are but dust. We pass to dust,
Our souls the thralls of clay,
Our bodies vesture that at last
Must drag them to decay
Sometimes do not mind the rents
That let the winter in,
When out of summer long ago
We hear a violin.
This is our conflict, age by age,
Hugging our spirits warm,
Shielding some sparks against the rage
That drives US down the storm,
When 1 must walk with head bent low,
Feeling my coat grown thin,
Let me believe the roses blow;
Give me violin.

SIDE TALKS

By RuFH CAMERON.

Net Gain, a Week.
One simply. can't help getting used
to blessings. Two years ago 1 spent
the summer at a beautiful country
place. ..ts
When we first established our
selves there, we were impressed at our
good fortune at being able to spend
the whole summer at such a lovely
place.
We were sure we would be per-
fectly happy every minute, and that
we wouldn't forget for a day how
very lucky we were.
l suppose you are wondering how
long it was before we began to take
it all for granted.
Oh. a week, perhaps, or maybe two.
Last summer, on the other hand,
we spent the bulk of the time in
town, only making brief visits to the
country.
And never did any place look so
lovely as that when we came to it
out of the heat and dust of the town.
Except that same place when we cast
longing glances behind as we left on
a Monday morning to return to the
heat and dust We savored every
moment of our stay. and enjoyed each
approaching visit in anticipation as
well as reality.
And we felt sure we had learned a
lesson.
IF we ever go away for the sum-
mer again." we said, I'VE will appre-
ciate our good fortune. we won't take
it for granted
That was last summer. This past
season we spent the summer in the
country again.
How long did our lesson last us?
Oh, two weeks. perhaps. or maybe
three. net gain of a week.
The moral?
Well, here are two of them-there
may be more.
In the first place, don't blame peo-
pie with more luXuries than you have
for not being made happy by them
and for constantly wanting more.
They can't help taking the meas
ure of luxury they are accustomed to
for granted any more than you can
yours. The only way to get any great
measure of happiness out of money
would be to start poor and to keep
on always having g. little more, and
still a little more.
The other moral is this-it is the
natural instinct to take things for
granted, but if you do. you don't get
half so much SAVIOUR out of them. So,
forcibly shake yourself out of that
mood once in a while. You can fight
against that instinct as well as others,
and it's worth fighting against
