HAPPINESS PLUS.
When the world is black and there
seems no end to all your worries. and
when they press you for money and
everything goes wrong and then you
can't make both ends meet at all;
When you feel that the last friend
you have in the world has deserted
you and your shoes start to take In wa
ter; when your old suit is about worn
thru; when your hat is on the bum
and you feel that the world is treating
you mighty rough for a guy that has
always played pretty square with ev-
erybody;
when you feel that the last cent you
have must go for last winters coal and
that spring fixings and painting and
such must happen to the old house or
it is liable to fall to pieces, and that
every one you meet you seem to owe
money to and they look like they
wanted it right then and there;
And everything you do around the
firm is all wrong and the boss has
crouch and you are liable to get call
ing for most any old thing, and you go
thru the days grind with heavy
heart and you can't make deal that
is worth q cent and you pull up at the
office Disguised with life and the boss
disguised with you and you wend your
weary way home
And a wee tot runs to greet you and
throws both arms around your neck
and kisses you and says DADDY I
love you" and you sit down to a good
meal and your wife smiles a sweet,
sympathetic smile at you. then you are
the richest and happiest man in the

walk straight" Don't fly without your
goggles, you may not see it through"
Don't zoom off the ground, try it on a

Book Gossip
Oliver HEREFORD

~ LIVER HERFORD-for few
z necessary facts attach even to
this inconsequential PERSONS
the son Of well known English Uni
tartan clergyman, DR.. Brooke HEREFORD,
who, however, preached for some time
in Boston. Oliver HEREFORD was born in
1868 and received his literary education
in Lancaster College, England, and
Antioch College, Ohio, and his training
as an artist in Slade School, London,
and Julien's, Paris. From contempt
rary Of his at Antioch College we learn
that he wore garter snakes, instead of
vine leaves, in his hair, and carried
toads and lizards in his pockets.
When HEREFORD went to New York his
quaint fancies and irresistible drawings
won for him a ready entrance to The
Century, Harper's, Life and other
high grade periodicals. His interesting
personality soon became known, and
many anecdotes concerning him became
common talk as "Herford's latest"
For example, he once sent budget
Of pictures and verse to some magazine
probably "The Century"-and they
were promptly returned. Quite as
promptly HEREFORD sent chem back again.
Once more they were returned by the
hard hearted editor This time HEREFORD
sent them to the editorial Office with the
following plaintive note: Dear Sir:
1 regret to inform you that in your alb
sence on vacation your office boy. has
been returning masterpieces" The Of
ferings were thereupon accepted.
The list of Herford's books is long
and a delectable one: "Artful Antics"
The Bashful Earthquake" "The Alpha
bet of Celebrities" ga Child's Primer of
Natural History" "The Rubaiyat of a
Persian Kitten" "Hearticulture, ecu
pid's Encyclopedia" "a Kittens Gar
den Of Verses" "The Neurological
Zoo" "Jingle Jungles," "The Cynic's
Calendar" and others. In all Of them
the text and the pictures alike are emf
nently Herfordian, JOY to the mind and
the eye.

the WEAKNESS of the world is one Of the
very best. 1t is called This Giddy

but for the vigor and distinction Of the
strong head. His hair, which was snow
white, grew long and was brushed care
lessly, standing up from the brow and
falling backward to the neck and ears.
His face was almost bloodless in it's PAL
lor. The rather small eyes, under dark
and restless eyebrows, had the bright
ness of beads. The lower part of his
face was covered by mustache and beard
as white as his hair. It seemed as If
he were figure carved out of chalk. In
repose, he was like tired man who OBJ
serves and reflects between spells of
nodding sleep; but in action, with his
thin arms raised above his head, his eyes
blazing, and his powerful voice hurting
out its thoughts, he was like prophet"
The Submerged Tenth"
William Booth performed notable
service in calling public attention to the
national shame of the poverty stricken
London slums. His book, Darkest Eng
land" was tremendous exposure of the
APPS uing plight of the Submerged
tenth" Of that period With bitter, al
though perhaps unconscious, irony he
urged that the poor be at least given the
living standard Of q cabhorse, if they
could not be assured the food and cloth
ing and housing that were assigned to
convicts. He devised practical scheme
for the relief of the destitute. Centers
were to be established in London, where
the unfortunate men and women could
be fed and clothed and in some measure
rebuilt physically. Then they were to
be sent out to the country, or overseas.
His herculean work for the poor, at
time when false economic theories con-
demned large part of the population
to live on the brink of starvation, is un-
questionably the most effective answer
to the attacks Of his critics.
But William Booth himself would re-
sent undue emphasis upon his social
work. He was first and foremost an
evangelist. The scriptural injunction to
feed the hungry and clothe the naked he
fulfilled to the best of his ability. But
he believed that individual righteous
ness, achieved through, faith in JESUS
Christ, was the only rock upon which
the happiness and safety Of humanity
could be built. His place is among the
great teachers and prophets of religion,
and his place there is more than secure.
