Proper View Of Life.

Why is it. I wonder, that the little
boy almost always imagines that out
side of home is to be found the larger
liberty? Why do young men fondly
dream that yonder, always yonder, is
to be found business opportunity?
Why does the dissolute man conclude
that, outside the common virtues Of
society, he is to find the larger life?
For you, my son, will sometime find
that your largest liberty was in the
old home, where, If there was author
tty, there was also deep and abiding
love; and you, my friend, will find
that others succeeded in your home
town, while you failed in the world;
and you, my liberty-loving man, will
most surely realize, that In the COM
mon virtues Of the simply good life
Is to be found what you seek In the
by-paths of the world. Find the wealth
that lies everywhere about you. Prac-
tice the virtues that you know. Cher
ish the love that is yours now. Value
the friends that you have known; and
in the superficial you will find the
profound. and in the simple things
the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle-
tin.

A key-making machine that will du.

introduced. All that is necessary is a
blank and the key is duplicated. The
key is placed in one clamp, the blank

of the blank, as it is revolved. A hand
lever is moved from left to right, until
the wheel stops grinding. The machine
