BUoYANCY OF TEMPERAMENT.

BUOYANCY OF TEMPERAMENT,
Strive as we all will, the general
train of our emotions and passions
seem to find about the same route to
cover.
Neither education nor extreme good
fortune over others comes in to save
US. We are all inheritors of moods
and worries.
But it is possible for anyone to be-
come a master of himself in lesser or
greater degree. The power of the
will and the imagination may be mus
tered for service. Thru persistent ap-
plication and great patience. we may
create within ourselves a buoyancy of
temperament that may well be the
envy of others.
1 have noticed that those who sup
press most, carry the heaviest bur
dens. He who in the midst of sorrow
or disappointment keeps his load to
himself and thru no outward mani
festation gives vent to his feelings, is
almost always the most unhappy.
Whereas he who gives way to his
grief in tears or expression of some
sort, soon rises to a steady handling Of
himself.
How many smiling faces mask a
grave of suffering!
1t is this buoyancy of temperament
that brings out many a sun into an
otherwise dark day and which teaches
forbearance, tolerance and generosity.
Tillers of the soil when gathered to-
gether, talk over about the same prob
lens. If we have worries, so has the
other fellow.
But if we bring light into the day
that is given to us, the darkness that
had Swallowed ether lives, is at once
made less deep and dense.
How our personal assets rise and
take on new values the minute that we
come in contact with some buoyant
temperament
The world doesn't seem to lack fer
trouble. And most Of its problems are
quite complex. But for the tempera-
ment that has learned neiselessiy to
drop things of worry and disturbance
all along the way, there abi6es a
beauty and a satisfaction that we may
all well seek.

Of the glacial age. 1t is huge mass
Of rock shaped like an hour glass,
and is one of the most peculiar and
striking natural formations in the
whole state. The base is fully 80 feet
across. It slopes upward to mar
row rock, corresponding to the neck
through which the sands Of an hour
glass sift, and then broadens out to
form what looks like the upper cham
ber Of the glass. 1t Is composed Of
limestone and stands 20 feet In height.
The nearest bedrock like 1t is five
miles away to the north. and ge-
ologists believe this means that the
rock was torn loose from its original
mother vein and dragged those >five
miles by the big glacier that swept
down from the polar regions ages
ago. Natural erosion did the carving

REAL TREAT FOR IMMIGRANTS
Ice Cream Something New to Arrivals
at Ellis island, but They
Finally Liked IT,

Immigrant struggles with American
food on Ellis Island reached climax
when Commissioner Wallis introduced
plates of ice cream to the 1,700 dinerA
The idea behind the Ice cream was to
give the immigrants real treat on
their reaching the land of promise.
What happened was marvel to wit
ness. The first persons served were
a Balkin native and native OF
East India. The East Indian took a
lick and liked It. He looked around
and saw that the Balkan opposite him
had bigger piece. Greedily he
grabbed for 1t. Then the fight began.
Both got well smeared In the face with
the food.
The other diners touched the Ice
cream, and finding 1t cold, thought
they knew the trick. The stunt was
to smear the cold substance on your
neighbor's face This happened sew
eral times. Then someone tasted the
Ice cream and with whoop an-
nounced It was mamma too precious to
be wasted on countenances. The head
steward said the same thing Id the
eight languages he speaks. The face
smearing ceased abruptly.
