Learn to Be Content.

How much SUMMER life would be if
we could learn to be content! How
much better we could do the work at
hand if we did not consider ourselves
so far above it. After all, no one is
fit for big things who cannot do small
things WELL If we do the work at
hand to the very best of our ability
we are making steady progress in our
business, whatever it may be. The
housewife who puts all her heart and
mind into doing her housework well
will soon find she is fast becoming
master of the most difficult business
there is-that of running the home.
Contentment is not to be acquired
all at one grasp. 1t is an elusive, way
ward creature, which must be assidu-
ously sought before it is found. But
it is well worth the search when once
it is caught, for it is the source OF all
happiness.
One way to find it is by comparison.
If you think you have reason to be
unhappy, see how many persons about
you have far greater reason and yet
are cheerful aud gentle. If you con-
slider yourself poor, see how many
dreadfully poor there are all over the
city, such poor persons that you seem
almost well-tO-dO i'll comparison. Ii
you think yourself lonely, consider the
single girls and boys in this city who
not only have no acquaintance or
friends in town, but in many cases
have not friend or relation on earth.
If your health seems unreliable, think
of the hundreds of invalidS in hos
pitfalls, etc.
Instead of thinking how little you
have and how much you are to be
pitied if you will consider the hun
dredS much worse off than you are,
you will find that after all your lot in
life is far more enviable than you have
supposed possible.
Takes Real Intelligence.
Another way to find contentment is
by work. No one who is really busy
finds time to be disconnected. If you
find yourself envying someone, set
yourself an extra hard task and go at
it with vim and vigor and you will
forget about envy in the ardor of work
II you are dissatisfied with your bus
mess you can conquer your dislike
of the work at hand by putting enough
spirit into it. If you set your whole
mind on accomplishing the days tasks
i'll thorough way you will soon over
come any antipathy you may have en-
tertained toward them.
Therefore, if you find yourself feel
ing disconnected and blue, do not lei
your mind dwell on how much you are
to be pitied, but either set yourself 6
difficult task which will take all your
attention, or else go out for a visit
among the poor and find by compari
son how much you are to be enviet
instead Of pitied. You will learn the
secret of contentment as you learn tt
see and to appreciate the blessings O.
your lot instead of seeking out the
misfortuneS.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
MOTHER.

After the battle, that day, you could
not hear yourselves talk any more in
the trenches for the cries of the
wounded 1t was like one great, I'M
interrupted wall. = s. Then little by
little silence came, as a good many
of them died. What we heard sound
longest on the battlefield, from one
end to the other-the word Mother"
1t is always those who are dying who
call like that; we know they know
Letter from War Nurse.
Mother" they cry, in anguish, at
the last,
These strong young soldiers stricken
unto death.
"Mother!" All sweet with mem'ri
of the past,
That name, they gasp it forth with
failing breath.
But woe for them! No mothers hand
may now,
Howe'er SO fain, the earthen pillow
smooth.

ELECTRICAL

No mothers soft cares can reach the
brow,
No mothers voice the suff'ring spirit
s9othe.
So here they lie in battles dread
abyss,
These youthful victims of the nations
wrath;
And each one, dying, Graves his
mothers kiss,
And, friend or foe, one longing each
one hath.
Mother of God, although their lips
may frame
No prayer to thee, no tribute to thy
power,
When each poor lad inyokes his
mothers name,
Be thou his Mother in that last dark
hour!

To bother the good little boy;
Yes; poster and bother the good lit.

Till he sometimes drives him away;
And the bad little boy is alone with

For the rest of the long, long day.

And bring him again to me;
But take him up and hold him close

THE TWO LITTLE BOYS.

The good little boy and the bad lit
tie boy
Both live in the house with me-
But it is quite strange can look
and look,
Yet only one boy | see
Just one little boy with sparkling
eyes
And the funniest pudgy nose,
All brimful of life from the top oil

TO the tips of his ten stubby toes
And yet there are two of them,
am sure,

THE ALTAR LAMP.

Alone before the Altar Throne,
At eventide | kneel,
And in the silence wondrous grown
Thy presence, Lord, l feel;
Iife's Earring notes of discord cease,
All cares of time take flight,
Where in the sweet hush OF Thy peace
The Altar lamp burns bright
AS when the dawn rays flush the hill
So in the noontide hour,
When golden sun sheen gilds the rill
And beauty garbs the bower;
In shade and sunshine ever true,
In darkness as in light,

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE.

How few of us are perfectly content.
ed in that sphere of life to which we
have been called! How few of us ap-
preciate to the full the desirability of
our own positions. Far more often
we look at those who have more than
we with envy and jealousy. We envy
those who have what we have not,
never realizing that we may have
something ourselves which others may
desire ardently.
The poor man envies the rich his
wealth; the rich man envies the poor
his health. The benedict envies the
bachelor his freedom; the bachelor
would exchange his carefree existence
for the comfort of a benedict's home.
The childless man envies the father
his children, while the father envies
the childless man his freedom from
care and responsibility. The house
wife envies the business girl her work
and the business girl envies the house
wife her leisure and protection. And
so it goes, long chain of envy from
one to another of us instead of the
stream of content which we all should
feel.

Thus constant might be,

Flame with sweet love of Thee;
That | in ev'ry hour of life,
Were near Thee day and night,
My heart mid earthly sin and strife,
With love glow pure and bright.

81 WON'T BE LONG,"

81 won't be long," the Little Boy said
AS he clattered down the stair,
And found his hat for his curly head
And called to a dog somewhere.
Then off like u flash down the sandy
lane,
With a whistle and cry and song;
And back to us, ever it came again:
Il won't be gone very long"

THE STATE MANAGER.

The familiar city manager plan is now being adapted to Kansas is about to turn all its state institutions business to ordinary busi principles The legislature provided for this nnova tion recently and the plan go into effect July l.
 The state government is to take the form of a big corporation The and three other officials make up the board of directors which selects general mana ger to handle the states affairs There provision whatever for politics. And there is limit to the managers salary The legislature wisely left that mat ter open so that nothing should stand in the way of getting big enough for the job is likely that the incumbent will be paid than the governor
 The size of job viewed a business opportunity, may be inferred the that the institutions which the manager will preside take up fourfths of the expenditures They represent investment more than $3O6OOOO0 Over s50O0O00 is spent on new buildings equipment repairs, salaries, etc.
 The only that to be called for is What an extremely sensible thing do State government in this country has Jagged behind federal and municipal government in methods of administration and in the realization of opportunities for further service Recently there have been hopeful deveopmns in many states tend ing to overcome this reproach The Kansas exprimen will be watched with keen interest and it succeeds it should will be widely copied.

REASONABLE PROFITS.

There two big factors in food problem One is to speed up production unless keep down prices.
 Nearly all the effort of the government and the public thus far has been devoted to the purpose of raising more foodstus while this patriotic activity has been going on with excellent results there has been c counter the part of spectators, mddemen and tradesmen boost prices. Unless that is effective ly checksd will lone all the benefit of bigger crops and the nation as a whole will forfeit the reward of it's labors to class of sordd and unpatrioc citizens
 prevailing big cities has announced there is just ground for the high prices of products de manded of the consumer this time The propaganda for more food has capitalized by spectators and dealers for their purposes They are taking exor- bant profits on the basis of theoretical scarcity in the And if they not curbed they will do likewise with the seasons crops matter how large an increase there may be-
 Whether we have much food itte there is excuse whatever in this bitter time for exorbant profits. The man who tries to squeeze undue profit out of the food that passes through his hands is traitor.
 The public must have square deal If the extortion doesn't stop we'll pricexing by the ment

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Take the of tea take the of jay, take the Is of Hell and will believe with some that gov ernment ownership of railroads of other public utiI tes is feasible. Politics is ancient and noble It has been played since the fair day Adam and Eve and America has brought the sport a perfection dreamed of in older Politics and business efficiency have about much chance mixing. with good result. oil and water And this applies to government ture into the realm of ralroading.
 Along this line of thought the testimony of w. M. Acworth of the British Commission which recently vestigated the Canadian railroads is than interest ing It is highly instructive. It should many ent supporters of government ownership their headlong flight after imaginary perfection
 Acworth May '. told the joint congressional com mittee investigating transportation problems in the United States that political democracy is the evils that makes ownership of rail ways of dubious value He declared that government ownership unsuccessful in countries that had tried it.

LYNcHINes AND wHIsKEY.

Most of the lynchings within the of the mans direct reading knowledge, have been accomp

 The Arizona Republican under the heading of There No Whiskey' prints the following editorial which is interesting and commendatory of the state:

 "The utter absence of whisky in that crowd proved of two things and possibly something of both; that Arizona if not actually dry is not well supplied with whisky; that the individual members of the crowd setting out their enterprise regarded it something serious and solemn that ntoxicants should not be mtted to add inflammation.
 We believe that whisky is unobtainable in Arizona who that midnight rush the desert had wanted whisky they would have had it. Perhaps of them teetotalers Unfamiliar with per sonne of the attendance do not know to that but do know that usually occasions of that whisky is regarded essential

TO A NEW DAILY,

Three young men, blessed more with determination and resourcefuness than with the coin of the realm visited Jerome a year ago. Two of the men, H. E. Meloy and Charles Dubois printers, and the third Arizona newspaperman, Ernest Douglas. They talked hard-and it before the big struck the Verde took the anticipated plant of the Jer News. On May l. last, these three men launched an eight page, afternoon newspaper-The Verde News-which is credit themselves, to Jerome and to the state.
 Douglas is editor of the publication He gained most of his experience in Arizona-workng in Phoenix and other in the territory and state. If the first issue is any indication of the general character and of the publication the northern of the state will find its leading newspaper in its biggest industrial center

In any event, there three communities Jerome Clarkdae and Verde-where the smeter of the United Verde Extension being consructed-which will be served and that, we'll by the News
