THE SAD PRINCESS

N NCE upon time there was a O beautiful princess named Edna. At her christening party the king an- nounced that he was determined she should never know pain or sorrow. And he told his wise men that he was determined to shield her from all unpleasant sights in order to se- cure her happiness.
 You are making a mistake, Your Majesty" sighed wise old man, "and you will regret it. Let her live among her people and know life as 1t is"
 But the king would not listen. He shut Edna up in a lovely palace of crystal. All around were rose gar dens, parks and giant trees, lakes with fountains and swans. Only young,

1 grown WeariSome. Maybe out here 1 there is something different"
 Then, for the first time in her life, she saw tumbledown hut on the edge of a marsh Coming down the road was an old man, hobbling with crutch. At turn in the way was a blind beggar asking aims. In the gutter ragged children played -and bent mothers carried loads of wood upon their backs. For the first time she saw life with its work, its pains, it's misfortunes, it's poverty Gnd--its lessons. She had never known tba' there was pain, sickness or sorrow in the world before. Struck with terror, she galloped home and wept; then, rising with bright face dawning through tears, she called her maids.
 "No more of this" she said. "I am unhappy shut up from the world-I want to share it's sorrows as well as It's joys. And now that I see there is so much to be done, so much to help, I know l will find my happiness in helping"
 So the great estate was turned over to the villagers for park, the marsh was drained, the huts were replaced with comfortable cottages, the aged were given home, the sick were sent to q hospital and schools were started.
 And the princess was the happiest of all. No longer sad, she went about, busy from morn till night, smile on her face, helping all who needed aid and seeing that every one in her land got justice, care and Kindness.
 The old king was surprised His sad daughter was now model of happiness and health and her domain q scene of busy comfort
 One evening the same wise old man who had been at the christening of the princess came upon the king as he sat alone.
 T see your young daughter, the princess, has found the right way. In spite of your mistaken efforts" smiled the old man. You ought to be glad you have not ruined her life. She was wise girl to take things in her own hands and find happiness as she did Living for ones self in luxury only begets discontent And only in doing for others in busy life can happiness be found"

handsome lads and maids waited on her-she never saw anything old, ugly or unhappy; only everything which was beautiful and gay.
 But as she grew older she seemed to weary of this luxury. For hours she would sit alone watching the wild geese flying overhead or the twinkling lights in far-off village. Her face grew sad and in vain her father tried to brighten her life.
 One day she mounted her pony, and while her guards were lunching she rode rapidly through the gate and gal loped alone outside of her grounds.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get Ahead-How to Make Good
ADVERTISING BUREAUS
@. 1920. Western Newspaper union)
By JESSIE ROBERTS

XXT OMEN are making successful w ventures in various advertising businesses. One of the methods that have proved to work well is that of organizing an advertising bureau.
 This is the way one successful firm manages:
 There are three young women in the firm, who have incorporated under certain firm name. One of these is the business manager. The second is the seeker after necessary material. whether data or photographs. She hunts up the material required by writer for a certain story, the illus article, she makes sure of important details that are to be used in press stories The third partner finds the people who are to do the actual work, the writing, the illustrating. She plans work ahead, sees these who want publicity, arranges interviews, and attends to all the social side of the business.
 One of them worked for year as a reporter on great daily. She learned lot about publicity there, and how to tell good story, news story, when she saw it. The other girls had been employed in business offices. But they had taken these positions simply with a view of getting required train ing.
 'T always meant to get into busi- ness for myself, and so did my asso- ciates," one of them told me. "A girl needs to get into a good office and keep her eyes open and her wits alive, before she tackles something of her own. But believe that any girl who is intelligent and ambitious, and who Is willing to spend year or two of hard business training, is sure to make good in business of her own. And she will be much more likely to make real money and to have a chance to make the very best of her self in business of her own than in any salnried job"
 But shouldn't advise any girl who doesn't like hard work to follow such an example. for you don't count hours or effort where it's your own firm, (copyrisht) .-.-ss

TRAINED AT WEST POINT
Served in Mexico, South America and Gave Valiant Service in the World War-Unusual Type of Soldier
 of Fortune,

New York.-War dispatches making more than casual mention of Brig. Gen. Charles Sweeny have lent to the Polish struggle more than an imper- s0nal interest to American army off, cers at Governors Island, who are well acquainted with Sweeny. an American soldier of fortune with both principle and purse.
 Men of no fortune at all who fight for excitement and pay are common enough. But Sweeny. U. s. A., is multimillionaires son. his father hav- ing amassed great wealth In the fa- nous Occur D'Alene mines of Wash ington and Idaho, and the soldier is more than a millionaire in his owD right. He put in three years at Wes, Point and then sought the life of an active soldier iYl Mexico, South and Central America and Europe.
 Offers Self to Poland.
 Sweeny, q former lieutenant colones fin the United States army, attached to the general staff, was in Paris dur ing the spring of 1919, recovering from wounds suffered in the ArgOnne offen- elve with the A. E. F., when he learned that Poland was in need q officers for her new armies. He consulted witB the then Premier Paderewski and offered to recruit volunteers when he returned to America. In three weeks he had selected 200 former American army officers, all of whom had seen service in France. Colonel SWeeny sailed for Poland in September of last year with the first of his officer con- tingent. He was not long in getting into the fight and in recognition of his splendid services Poland commissioned him a brigadier general.
 This Irish-American-Pol general for whom soft life held no appeal, began his career on the battlefield on leaving West Point after he tried min- ing for while.
 Soldier of Fortune.
 He went to Mexico and got wound in the Madero affair. Upon recovery, Sweeny packed up for South America, where he took a hand in several Of the revolutions. He got into the world war as private in the Foreign Legion. In the first Champagne battle in September, 1915, he was c0mmis- stoned lieutenant on the field for gallantry. He was severely wounded and gassed in this battle, and on a hospital cot in Paris he was awarded the cross ef the Legion of Honor,
