Joy in Winning Success.

The training of personality is often
a matter of compulsion. Men shun
loads and dodge responsibilities when
ever they can. They cOvet ease and
wealth and try taking the shortest
road to it. That may land them there
and it may not. Usually men have to
rise through struggle That has a
way of making men turn to themselves
for what they get. Others are busy
with the same job and they can't give
help to anyone. AS men learn to do
they develop power to do and event
ually the love Of doing takes posses
sion Of them. It's not just a matter
Of poetry, but it's according to fact.
There's no Joy like that of conscious
success and it grows with what is
done.

Japanese Arts Being Forgotten.

A Japanese contributor to the Japan
Advertiser has the following note on
the forgotten arts of his country: "All
the polite arts and accomplishments
are in a bad way. How many middle
school boys Of today know how to
drink tea in the forms of the tea cere-
mony? Flower arrangement is being
fast forgotten. Versiflcation, which
once was one Of the commonest ac-
Quirments of youths. is hopeless mys-
terry to the people of Taisho.. The
word pOliteness is not to be found in
their lexicon. When at home they
read cheap story magazines, and when
going out they put themselves at the
tender mercies of jammed tramcars.
So they wax ever more dwarfed and
peDguin-fOoted, both physically and
mentally. And the love of nature, Of
art and poetry, which was such dis
tinguished characteristic of the Yama-
to race is being quickly replaced by the
love Of money and accumulation"

Earnest Work Brings Success.

No class of men have a monopoly Of
opportunity. History is filed with rec
Ords of the poor mans progress. AS the
race is not always to the swift, so is
success not always to the naturally
talented. It's the man who trains the
talents he has who rises above his fell
lows. How often have we seen the man
whom the neighbors all looked upon as
a genius flash into a temporary prom
inence soon to give place to the ordi-
nary but tireless worker who substi-
tuted ceaseless effort and constant
pains for special gifts. The fact is
men of exceptional talents often lean
upon them and cease to make real eff
forts to improve. You will find them In
middle life where they were in youth.
Often they are disappointed and
grouchy creatures criticizing the eff
forts of others who attempt on meager
talents to do what they ought to have
done. Phey have made no progress In
developing their own personality.

Astride the boundary separating

thus I noticed that the opening termi-

fastened on the swallows.
Suddenly becoming aware that the

LOVE AFFAIRS OF ROYALTY
Monarchs and Princes of Britain
Figure conspIeuousIy in the
Annals Of GaIlantry.

There is a great deal of talk to the
effect that the prince Of Wales will be
allowed to follow the dictates Of his
heart in the matter Of marriage, even
IL the lady he should choose be not of
royal blood, remarks the Montreal
Family Herald.
The rule requiring that royalty wed
with royalty is not as old as is some
times thought, for 1t was only In the
time Of George III. that the Royal
Marriage act was passed. George III.
himself made the daughter Of a linen
draper his wife, though she never was
his queen.
In Olden times, of course, the king
married to cement an alliance with
some foreign country, but happily
there is no need for that form of
diplomacy In these modern times.
Henry VIII.-'bluff King Hal"-Once
declared, "Where my heart goeth, there
shall my hand be bestowed" and fol-
lowed this up by woOing and eventual
ly winning Anne BOleyn. the daughter
Of knight and the descendant of
London apprentice. Very passionate
was his wooing of his 'own sweet
heart"
The day after poor Anne's head fell
under the eXecUtiOner's axe on Tower
green, he was standing at the altar
with Jane Seymour, another knights
daughter, who became the mother Of
our sixth Edward.
When he was prince of Wales,
George ". fell in love with Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, a beautiful widow. He was
very ardent in his wOOing, and the lady
led him a pretty dance before she
finally yielded and allowed him to
make her his wife.
There is charming frankness in her
letters to her royal lover, in one Of
which she writes, in answer to a re-
quest to meet the prince after leaving
the ballroom: "Meet your What,
yOu?-the prince of Wales, whose
character in the annals of gallantry is
too well known for me to suppose that
after such a meeting should have any
character at all "-LOndon Telegraph.

The following is one very sen

keeping it so thai she can emf ~
the distinction of being known

You may have heard it before,

The mark of the little muddy
feet upon the floor can be more
easily removed than the stains
where the little feet go into the
highway of sin. The prints of
the little fingers upon the win

sunshine half so much as the
shadow that darkens the moth
er's heart over the one who is
but a lame in the coming years.
And if my Joe finds home a ref

happiness within its four walls,
he can put his boots in the rock

And if | stand it and he enjoys

Her philosophy is exactly
right, too. A home is not home

CENSUS GUESS PUTS
MONTANA POPULATION
NEAR 100000 MARK

AS the work of gathering the
census approaches an end, some
speculation has been going on as to
what the census of Montana will
show. Guesses have been marked
by their extremes, some enthus-
lasts getting it as high as a million
people while others have been al
most as extreme in the other dir
ection and have placed it as low as
half million. At the census of
1870, Montana showed popuIa-
ton of 376,O53./
A gain Of 100 per cent would
mean a present population Of only
752,1O6. If the population has in
creased by IS per cent in the 10
years, making the estimate on the
entire state, then the present popu-
lation should be $40, 487. But sup
pose in the other direction with the
percentage and assuming that the
growth for the entire state has
been but so per cent of the 1910
total, the present total would then
show 564,O79.
Persons who have studied the
situation from reports made on the
census at certain of the towns and
cities in the state, including Bill
1ings and KalispelI, believe that
the truth of the case will be found
nearer the go per cent rate of in
crease than either the 80 or the so
per cent estimates, and predictions
are being made that the census of
Montana will be somewhere be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
