WHY The BLUES"
Just Stop and Ask Yourself,
whats the Use7"
Too Many People Seem to Take pleas
ure in cuItivatino Their Pains
and Grievances.

Among the selfish, expensive and
superfiuous luxuries, what are com
monty known as the blues" take high
rank.
Ii we call the halt and take the time
60 do SO, any Of us can think of all
sorts OF dismal things that are really
or supposedly the matter with us.
But what's the use? What good does
1t do? Half the time, when we tell a
hard luck story, we are telling it to
someone who has ten times as good a
reason to complain.
It's not interesting or fattering TO
realize when we're low In our minds
that 1t may be because we ate impru-
IDENTIFY, or slept too little, or let trifes
light as air fret US, or broke some
one of natures wise and well-estab-
lished ordainments.
Just as mischief in schoolroom or
lassitude in an audience may be due
to bad air, so mental depression may
be the result of a regimen of life that
is awry.
It's very easy to poke fun at the con-
ventions and kick over the traces of
sleep, and temperance, and three meals
day at regular hours.
It's easy to decry decency and regu-
larity as stupid and Victorian.
But there's a reason.
The people who complain that their
own nerves torment them and that
life is hard and fate is cruel are not
the people who have worked hard,
lived soberly and obeyed the rules.
They are the people who said they
were having "the time of their lives
which really meant they were throw
ing away the time of their lives-the
precious time, which is all that any Of
us has to live on.
You do not hear tie workers COM
plain of the petty things that seem to
bother the idlers. The workers have
no time to cultivate their pains and
grievances as if these were flowers
The workers are busy carrying on
In place of those who stop and sit
down to examine the bruises and
coddle themselves
Some friends Of the world are re-
garded as towers of strength needing
no buttress, and founts of sympathy
never requiring replenishment. If
those who depend on them but knew,
these apparently glorious and limitless
human beings often cry from the agony
of the heart to open space for re-en-
forcement and refreshment. They feel
their weakness and emptiness.
But they do not visit their discour-
agement, their sense of failure or their
plague of nerves upon their fellows.
They keep their hearts for other hearts;
their faces shine; they are blessing
where they stand and as they move.
1t is what we feel for others, not
what we feel In ourselves that matters.

The carcass of the beef, not includ.

Free Country Offerings
KeeDS Wheat Down

CHICAGO. July ia. P.)-FTee
country offerings to arrive did a good
deal in the wheat market to counter
balance adverse crop conditions north
west. Prices closed steady, 1-2 cent
net lower to a like advance with Sep
.tember s1.1S to $1.1Sk and Decem-
Der $1.2l to $1.21K. Corn gained as
cent to 3-4 cent, oats finished 12 cent
to Ia cent off to 5-8 cent up, and pro-
visions unchanged to II cents higher
At first, the wheat market showed
considerable strength with traders giv-
ing much attention to the high tenn.
peratures in the northwest and to a re-
newal of misgivings about black rust
in Minnesota and North Dakota. Later,
however, indications tnat the move
ment Of new wheat was increasing be-
came the principal factor. AS a result
of greater hedging pressure, premiums
both for No. 2 hard wheat and for No.
red winter disappeared, and $4,000
bushels were sold to go to store.
Absence of rain, together with re-
ports that corn was commencing to fire
in parts of Illinois and Indiana, had a
bullish effect on the corn market, Oats
averaged higher in sympathy with
corn.
Provisions reflected good domestic
and export demand, as well as upturns
in the value of hogs.

to screen Sir James NJ. Barrie's cele-

portance. That Adams and Bruce Nc
Rae, who played the leading roles in
the American production of the play,
should be succeeded in the screen YER
sion in the most capable manner was
imperative, and to that end Lois Will
son and Conrad Nagel were chosen.
what Every Woman Knows" was
produced at the Duke of York's Thea
tre in London in 1908, and in the fol-
lowing season it was presented in New
York by Charles Frohman with Maude
Adams and Bruce McRae in the lead
ing parts, The play scored a huge sue
cess and during succeeding seasons il
was presented in the principal cities
of the country.
The story deals with the fortunes
of a young student with political as
pirations who steals into a home OF

he is unable to obtain otherwise. Ht
is caught and the result is an agree
, ment that in consideration of the pay
