DON'T WORRY ABOUT TRIFLEs.

Never mind the weather, but go
right on doing the right things as
you are given to see the right.
If it looks like rain. take your UNI
brella, but if there are no indications
Of rain, don't burden yourself with It,,
Notwithstanding the old adage, "The
wise man carries his umbrella when
the sun shines; any fool will carry
his when 1t rains"
The proper thing is TO feel glad,
or as glad as you can. all the time.
The best way to do this is to try to
make others glad. -
As a rule this is not hard to do il
you know the disposition and tastes
of those whom you would please. or
course you have to be diplomatic in
your methods. Nor is this difficult
If you really mean to make them
glad. Some there are, It's true. who
don't seem to have glad bone in
their bodies, nor glad chord in
their hearts. Such as these try your
patience to She limit yet' even that
is worth while, since it tends to
strengthen your moral resistance and
to increase your stock OF patience.
There is always a glad heart be-
hind a glad hand, and truly glad
hand may ever be known by the ten
derness and strength OF its grasp,
and the thrill that its glad clasp
sends to the heart.
The truly glad hand rarely makes
brilliant flourishes, nor makes a dis
play Of brilliants and jewels. but it
finds the sad hand Just the same.
