Charles J. Mold, Of Kandiyohi, was
severely crushed last Friday when
the steam traction engine which he
was running backed into the separ-

Green Lake township. He was taken

sustained some broken ribs and in

bdespaired of, but he has shown some
improvement, and there is now a

IIYT WAS kind Of him at least to
~ send q special messenger. Up
to this time the only sympathy
I have experienced has shone
in the eyes Of the postman, and this
silent solicitude on his part is getting
on my nerves. am glad he failed to
witness this final disappointment. l
mean final too, for am determined to
devote my efforts to some other line
from now on. Still don't see why he
should have ruined my Christmas. 1t
seems to me since he held my manu-
script for six weeks, he could have
given it desk room for another day,
thus permitting me to live up to my
name today Of all days."
After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into a
chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with slight touch Of humOr and
a faint suggestion Of a smile, recited
the contents Of that letter-nOt
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sin
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, ETC., etc."
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely a case of humoring an mag
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn living as the young lady's in
come was sufficient to keep her alive
without setting fire to the universe by
flashing on the public her picture serv-
ing as a cover over some sentimental
verses accompanied by music.
It was the morning Of the last day
Of the third unsuccessful year. Mae
Hope was interrupted at breakfast by
the sound of the door bell.

OPTIMISM.

To face the changing fortunes of
life with equanimity, to brace our
selves against the shocks of fortune,
to learn to smile at pretentiousness,
to cultivate poise in the face of losses,
to let no scarcity in the non-essentials
touch our inner repose, to adjust our
sense of value SO that we need not
miss what we do not need-these may
be the fortunate by-products Of our
first lessons in the art Of doing with

The name on the card seemed to add
insult to injury.
"'Mrs. Frank Charity I never knew
he was married. Maybe it is someone
else. Probably somebody knows need
charity. Tell her will be down i'm
mediately."
One glance at her visitor assured
Miss Hope it was no stranger, but an
old school friend.
"violet FAITH You? The card reads
Mrs. Charity"
"Why, Mae, you seem surprised"
"How should know you were mar
ried?"
"Violet, stealing glance at the dis
orderly desk, remarked tartly:
"Perhaps it would be a good idea
to read your letters if you want to
keep up with the parade"
"You don't mean," picking up the
bulky envelope from the Frank Char
ity Music Publishing company, "that
this is a letter from you. It looks for
all the world like manuscript"
"Manuscript, indeed! It is the story
of my life written on my wedding day,
and I am delighted to find it unopened
a whole week later. I thought it was
wonderfully thrilling, and to say the
least, interesting to an old friend. I
spent so much time composing it, am
sure you will be fully enlightened If
you read it instead Of looking at me in
blank amazement and making it i'm
possible to express myself"
Miss Hope, after seeing her guest
comfortably seated, delved into the
depths Of the secret, but not before she
had said by way Of apology:
"a week, my dear, is very short
time to be ignored with a suspicious
looking envelope of this kind" and
this remark was thoroughly appreciat-
ed by Violet Faith Charity.
"My DEAR" said Violet, ut all hap
pened because I attended services on
Christmas eve, but to begin at the time
when last saw you, the one day
most distinctly recall was the day I
met Frank. He was on the stage, and
believing him to be regular actor, I
dared not mention him to Aunt Agnes.
For years I suffered the annoyance of
entertaining her choice acquaintances
and met with her disapproval for my
utter Indifference. You can imagine my
relief when the second appearance Of
Frank in our little city showed him
in the light Of chautauQua singer
consequently eligible to admittance to
the best circles. He sang some Of your
compositions, won my aunt, took his
bride, and here am. Suppose you take
a glance at the other envelope that
came by the same messenger"
Mae, speechlessly, laid down the
"story Of my life" and fingered the
small envelope, which held another sur
prise; silently reached for hel letter
opener, and inside Of another minute q
check for $1,000 fell into her lap.
When she could pull herself together
sufficiently she read the little note &C.

"FRANK CHARITY"

1T seems, Violet, the same man has
made us both happy. He has given you
the hero you prayed for, and has helped
me to a coveted career, and the only
reason he did not make us both happy
on Christmas day is that you took the
proper step-lived up to your name,
Faith, and went to church to have your
prayer answered, while I chose the pes
simistic mood, and when happiness fell
into my lap I threw it aside and lost
