MIND CONTROL WORTH WHILE
Not an Easy Thing to Acquire, but
Its Value Is Beyond All
Computation.

Jealousy is kind of misery that
could be avoided If one could forcibly
remove ones mind from hurtful
subject. Anyone who has ever been
jealous knows how the mind runs
round and round from one suspicion
and one torturing thought to another,
like an animal in a cage. Mind con-
troll would enable one to take the
mind out Of the cage and set it free.
Anger is another energy waster
which would be minimized IL one
could control ones mind. One might
be momentarily angry, of course, but
one would not permit ones mind to
brood over real or fancied wrongs un-
til ones whole brain was filled with
the poisons Of hate.
These states of miAd are but few
Of the many which could be avoided
If one only began as early as possible
to control ones mind. Begin In the
little things and by and by you will
gain larger control. Say. this very
day: II will not worry over that prob
lem"
Mind control Is not an easy faculty
to acquire. No one can say that. But
one always has this to encourage one
that every victory makes the next
victory easier.-New York Evening
Telegram.

her and caught her in his arms, to

cake.

ItaIy,s Present to Wilson.

A gift, a combination of beauty and
rarity, is to be made to President Will
son by The Italian government. If re-
ports speak true, the gift consists of
an antique and beautiful painting,
which has only just come to light.
The rarity, for a newly discovered
painting, even If beautiful, is not ex-
actly an uncommon thing in Italy, con-
sists in the extraordinary fact that this
painting was made on a piece of the
sail of the caravel on which Chris
topher Columbus embarked on the voy-
age which resulted in his discovery of
America. Nothing more appropriate
could have been presented to President
Wilson; certainly no discovery of
buried bit of antiquity was ever more

They had been married two months,
and the secret was tout of the bag"
now-the secret that often has string
of tragic results tied to it-coOking.
Or more specifically in Mabers case,
baking.
She knew perfectly that the thing
Jimmie adOred, next to herself, was
good cooking, and so there followed In
sad succession apple pies, spice cakes
and many kinds of mysterious war
breads. But as the weeks passed the
disappointment in Jimmie's eyes grad
uaIly resolved itself into open resent
ment.
One crisp Wednesday morning he
arose with rare crouch. A broad
strip of sunlight fell across the break
fast table as he stirred his coffee, cast
ing a glance of antagonism at the
heaping plate of corn mullins and the
brown fapjacks."

"Why, my dear, / thought-well you

angrily: "Do you expect me to go in
and do mornings work on those salt
buns? I'll be hopeless case from
indigestion in another week"
He strobe into the hall, calling back
with cold significance: 81 won't be
home for supper" Then the front door
slammed and the tragedy in Mabels
eyes deepened as she recalled that for
the first time since their marriage he
had not kissed her good-by.
She sat there for long time; the
f1apjacks had grown cold.
The passing hours and a good lunch
had the effect of greatly subduing
Jimmies wrath, and late afternoon
found him thinking regretfully Of his
harsh words at the breakfast table. He
began to wonder what Mabel was
thinking and was forming a resolution
to atone for his unkindness by calling
her up and telling her they would take
supper in town, when the phone rang
sharply. He answered it. There were
voices on the wire. "Hello-hello re-
peated Jimmie impatiently, and then
the disorder of voices died away and
man spoke quickly:
"Hello Thought I'd better call you
and tell you that your wife left here
awhile ago and forgot her umbrella;
we were delivering small quantity Of
arsenic to her, but she was In hurry
and left" the line was cut off abrupt

eyes. Arsenic! He signaled the op-
