Scrap Book
Buslness Instinct.

The teacher was trying to impress
upon her class the necessity Of regu-
lating the sinful human heart, and
to drive her point home she produced
her watch.
SNOW, girls" she said, "you all see
this watch"-an assertion so obvious
ly true that there was no danger of
contradiction. "Now," she continued,
"just suppose for a moment that 1t
did not keep correct time, that ! found
It was willing to go any way but the
right way, what should do with it,"
There was the usual pause which
pupils indulge in because 1t flatters
the teacher by making her suppose her
problem is a very deep one, and that
her wisdom is, therefore, profound.
Then a bright little girl held up her
hand.
"Please, MISS" she said, "you would
sell 1t to friend!"

friend and to other friends Of mine:
Never be afraid to grasp at happi-
ness because 1t may not last. For hap
piness Ia as beautiful as the flowers
OF spring and the sky Of summer and
the vivid leaves Of autumn. And even
though 1T might not last, happiness IL
too beautiful to pass by with never q
glance.
And then, as the philosopher said,
and as we know, don't be sure, az You
take your chance at happiness, that II
Will not stay. Look around your circle
OF friends, look at your business asso-
c1ates, look at the casual crowds that
you pass every day and you'll see that
the average of happy faces Is rather
high. You'll see more smiles, think,
than frowns; more merry faces than
sad ones
Don't be afraid to take a chance ut
happiness because you fear that It 10
too beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness
u too beautiful not to Iastl

A Baseball phlIosonhe.

Sentiment plays most Of the strings
IN this little musical instrument Of a
world, says a writer in an exchange.
l didn't see any of the worlds
series baseball games held in New
York and Chicago. But my heart was
quite loud beating affair each day
In the bleachers. And It was beating
Tor the Chicago White Sox.
I'll tell you why.
The head heart and owner of the
Chicago White Sox is Charlie Comis-
key. They call him ''the old Roman"
One day an important game was on
and his great Chicago park was crowd
ed with something like 4 $4,000
crowd. Then old Pluvius got busy and
started dumping wetness In torrents
onto the park.
1t looked bad. 60 bad that one Of
Comiskey's friends hunted him out,
and worried-like in excitement, ex-
claimed, "Comiskey. do you think it's
going to stop?"
1T always has," replied ''the old
Roman"
No wonder the White Sox won the
worlds series.

The Footpad and the Jokesmlth.

The Footpad and the Jokesmlth.
The professional Jester was walk
Ing along the darkened street, alone.
He needed not whittier his footsteps
tended, nor noted the lateness Of the
hour; for he was composing witticisms
that he might peddle money.
Glands up!"
The Humorist started from his rev.
erie, and found himself looking into
the transmitter of a large revolver.
Excuse me for taking your time"
said the robber, chuckling at his own
humor, though the joke was disgust
ingly old. But the Jester laughed
merrily, as If it were new.
"Don't apologize for that" he said {;
II can well spare 1t. You see it is
only dollar watch. But I can sell
this joke to a funny paper for two
dollars and make one hundred per
cent on the transaction"

TAKE CHANCE ON HAPPINESS
Grasp the Mood AZ II Passes and Join
tho Great Throno Wearing Smiling
Countenances.

We were coming home from a dinner
party together, my friend and I. It
was late at night and rather rainy,
and us we sat together in the damp,
almost empty trolley car, my friend
spoke very suddenly and seriously,
writes Margaret p. Sangster in the
Christian Herald.
"Just now" she said, 'I've chance
to be very happy. But I'm almost
afraid to take 1t -
The rain beat, in a futile manner,
against the car windows. I listened to
1t for moment before l spoke.
"Why7" questioned at last-"why
are you afraid to take your chance-to
be happy?"
Because" answered my friend, and
her eyes LOCKED far away-past the car
and the rain, even-'because I'm
afraid that it won't lastl"
When it Is autumn, and the leaves
are crimson and gold-colored and very
beautiful, we know, even as we admire
them, that they will be brown and
withered some day. But that does not
keep us from loving their glorious COL
ors.
It's like that, too, with flowers, and
springtime, and the blue sky Of sum-
mer. We know that the flowers win
fade away and that springtime will 30
and that there will be winter storm
clouds where there were once sparkles
of sun.
And 60 this is the answer to NJ

Domestic Repartee.

A friend confessed to us the other
day that his wife always got the best
Of it in the duel Of words. But the
reason he confessed was that we had
overheard an instance In proof.
The lady came into the room and
said. "Oh, Robert, what do you think?
I forgot to take the cake out Of the
oven, and it's burned to a crisp!"
"Well, all the fools aren't dead yeti"
growled Robert.
"That's lucky for me-" she admit
ted. II don't look at all we'll in

And then she left the room, and he
admitted what he admitted.
