The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

nurse along the human machine to
keep it going. The point is that It
a be done. and that, in reality, a
chronic complaint generally adds to
ones length of days instead of cutting
them short because it rouses the tight
ing spirit in its victim and makes him
or her determined to live in spite Of it.
But it all depends on the Individual
and his or her spunk in overcoming
a handicap.
Suppose you have a bad temper. You
are irritable and fly into anger every
time anything goes wrong, or you are
crossed, and you say cruel, and bit
ter, and insulting things. You are hard
to get along with. If you have any
Intelligence at all you must know that
this is going to ruin your life. You
can never get along in business for the
simple reason that no one is going to
take the trouble to deal with an indi-
vidual who has to be handled with
gloves. You will drive customers away
You will make friction in an office
You will make enemies instead Of
friends, and If you marry you will be
a curse instead of a blessing to your
unfortunate side partner.
But the very knowledge of your bad
temper should make you the most ami
able and suave person on earth. 1t
should make o keep an iron control
over yourself all the time. Knowing
that you are quick of tongue should
make you cultivate calmness, and poise,
and consideration for the feelings Of
other people. A bad temper either CON
quers people, or they conquer 1t, and
those who do conquer it develop in
their fight a character that places them
among the shining ones Of earth.
suppose a woman is careless and
slovenly, n n bad manager, shall she
go on keeping a house like a pig stv,
wasting her husbands money, and
poisoning her children with bad cook
ing? Or shall the KNOWLEDGE that she
Is inclined to sloth and untidiness turn
her into a pattern of n~eatness. make
her run her DAYS on a schedule, and
get busy with the cook book?
The woman who is naturally orderly
and Industrious can let things slide
sometimes, Just as the man who has
no appetite for LIQUOR can take an Or
cssional drink without danger, but the

So the WizEie Bug crawled up in the

the woods to the drug store. They had
almost reached the place, n the wiz

behind a stone fence popped the bad OLD
Bazooka again.

Bug whirled and twisted about so fast
that the Bazooka held his paws in front

watching the twistings and turnings OF
the Wizzie Bug-the Bazooka was-that
he fell down and couldn't get up again
for a long time.
"Now's your chance, Uncle Wiggily,
Hurry away" said the Wizzie Bug, as
he flew back to the seat in the auto.
So the rabbit gentleman started away
and the BaZooka couldn't get him. And
soon the white bug had met the red bug
at the drug store, and both were happy,

Meanwhile, Freddie was not quite as
contented as he had been when first
Estrelda had left for her visit to her
father. For a while the peace Of the
apartment without her had been sub
lime. 1t had not taken Sarah, the
maid, and Freddie more than two or
three days to make the rooms clean
and orderly. Then Mrs. Mason had
dined with Freddie one Saturday night
and had rearranged the furniture more
comfortably for him and had made
several suggestions to Sarah that had
greatly contributed to the young mas
ter's comfort. Relieved of the nervous
tension of coming home each evening
to a series Of petty quarrels with his
wife, the lines had begun to disappear
from Freddie's face; Once more his

heard him while she was preparing

swiftly enough for Freddie. Then one

Don't refuse to run the race of life
because you are handicapped. Instead,
let your handicap be as a spur in your
side to urge you on to more speed and
effort and thus enable you to win out.
If you have a defect of mind, or body,
or character, turn it into a virtue.
There Is some excuse for people being
victims to weaknesses that they do not
know that they posses, but there Is
none for them not correcting a fault
of which they are conscious.
Yet how often you hear men and
women say that the reason they have
not succeeded, or the reason they have
no friends, or the reason their mar
riages have been failures, Is because
they lack education, or they nave high
tempers, or they are eXtravagant, or
they can't keep house or make a living.
1t Is a shameful confession for any
normal human being to make, because
anyone with an ounce of grit and in
telligence can jolly well make them
selves over If they var to, and a
camouflage a blemish SO successfully
that the general public will not perceive
IT,
Now there's beauty, for instance. If
every girl had her wish she would be
born a Lillian Russell. The majority
are not qualified for admission into
the living picture class. Some are ac-
tually ugly, but when a girl perceives
that she Is lacking in pulchritude shall
ste sit down and beat upon her breast
and lament for lack of looks?
Not at all. Realizing that nature has
treated her like a ~stepchild it's up to
her to get busy, and to devote ten times
as much attention to the way she combs
her hair, n the sort of clothes she
wears as the beauty does. When we
speak of a woman being pretty, we
mean just the general pleasing effect
she produces upon the eye, and 1t Is
quite as often a matter of harmonious
colors and artistic fabrics as it is any
regularity of feature of the lady herself.
Also the homely girl must depend
upon her wits. She must study the
gentle are of pleasing by agreeable and
sympathetic She must read
and study to make herself entertain
ing, because she must depend upon her
brains and not her complexion as a
passport to popularity, There's no rea-
son why a homely girl should be a wall
flower If she has the sense and energy
to overcome her handicap of lack Of
beauty.
Suppose a woman is born with a deli
cate constitution. She can sink into
invalidism, or she car nine times out of
ten, turn herself into a strong and
healthy woman IL she will. The very
knowledge of her danger is often a safe
guard that renders her immune against
It. and enables her to keep in better
heslth, and live longer than robust peo-
pie who think that they can defy the
laws of nature with immunity. That is
why the creaking door hangs longest.
It. has been said that most Of the
great things In the world have been
done by sinyalids-that is by people
who had to husband their strength, and
treat their stomachs with respect. and
tighten the burdens on their hearts, and
