Not Easily Discouraged.

The prizc-wlnner, SO far as hopeful
ness Is concerned, has been discovered
down Oh Broad street, New York,
where n large Office is maintained by
a company which quite openly admits
that they have not done single bit Of
business In three years. - -
The firm is an importing and export
ing one, whose sole commerce before
1917 was with Russia, and since the
detection Of that country sthe Office.
has been maintained, and the wages
paid TO the force in hopes Of some
arrangement being made so that trade
relations can be reopened. So fur
nothing has happened, and the head of
the firm has gone to Russia to try and
help things along. Meanwhile the Of
flee Is opened each day and the force
sits around reading the papers and,
like Dickens famous Mr.. NlicaW Der,
''wnitinr for something to turn up."

Dom Joao's Botanical Gardens,

Dom Joao's botanical garden in Rio,
capital of Brazil, is, today the finest
In the New World and equaled only
by that of Buitenzorg, Java, says Har-
riett c. Adams, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. Its century-old i'm
ported bamboos are rs tall as forest
trees; it's native Victoria Regia lilies
most queenly of their kind. Its Royal
Palm avenue, almost 1900 feet long,
is second only to Rios Quadruple Palm
avenue bordering the Mangue canal.
In the early days these palms were
a mark Of the royal distiL ction and
were planted only in parks and ave-
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that a slave stole some
of the seeds and sold them. Today
these "feather-dusters Of the gods"
wave in every part of the city. At
present there is a free distribution Of
seeds and plants from the botanical
garden As...s E.-.....-~

Color and Horse Character.

An old cavalry officer says that one
may Judge the constitution and char
acter Of a horse from its color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high
spirited, but, nervous and delicate.
Dark chestnuts and glossy blacks are
hardy and more tempered. Rich bays
have great spirit, but are teachable.
Dark and iron grays are hardy and
sound, while light grays are the op-
pOsite. #
Roans either strawberry or blue,
are the hardest, and best working of
all, even tempered, easiest to train,
taking kindly to everything. Rusty
blacks are distinguished for their pig
headedness. A horses "white-stock-
ings" give another clue to character.
A horse with one white leg is a bad
one, with two its temper is uncertain,
with three it Is absolutely safe, with
four may be trusted for while only.

IT IS GOOD FOR THE .
SOUL TO VISIT WITH PIC
TURE OF THE OLD FOLKS
From Successful Farming)

SUCCESSFUL O1u1lue5J
l. have but one picture Of my
mother. It was taken during her
young girlhood, long before was
born. I am forced to depend upon
my memory for the likeness of the
loving, white-haired mother who
passed on twenty years ago. How !
wish had q photo Of her taken
during these later years. But wishes
are vain in matters of this kind and
I realize that I may never possess
any better likeness than that which
my memory produces. 49, s.s@'ai. :
: And why have no pictures of my
mother? Frankly, it is purely . mat
ter Of neglect. When she was daily
with us it scarcely seemed necessary;
and the whitening hair and STOPPING
shoulders and dimming vision came
50 gradually that neither my brother
nor myself were aware that she was
growing old. And almost without
warning came the time when she
was with US no more. 49,. -. r 4
It is the part Of wisdom to take
photos Of the old FOLKS frequently.
The chances are these pictures will
be worth their weight in gold in the
years to come. What does it matter
if it cost a few dollars? .-a
Pictures of relatives and acquaint-
ances connect the present with the
past - b ..,H9E.,.,,.. e.. 49,.
Somehow the heart grows tender
as one visits in this way with friends
and acquaintance of the long ago.
It is good for the soul to commune
in this silent way with those whom
we once knew. n
There is SOLDERING influence in
it. Perchance it strengthens the sense
or sympathy that we all need in
much larger measure. If this is all
true of those unrelated to US, how
much more true ought it to be Of
those near and dear to US. BY all
means take pictures Of father and
mother, grandpa and grandma while
they are here. All too soon the time
may come when pictures cannot be
taken. - X
Appointments may be made at
your convenience for your conven-
fence.

thousands of dollars at the end of the

more than 100000 stamps, which
will mean-at the rate of cents for
each stamp-$300, 1000 for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made. The stamps are intended to Sc
cure a multitude of small contribu-
tions from persons who will not have
an opportunity to contribute in other
ways. The campaign for China is the
greatest single philanthropic effort
now before the American people.
Every state in the Union is now CO.
operating in the life saving stamp
sales, and special committees are at
work In more than 1900 cities through
out the country The circulation of
the stamps is being effected by sales

"The picture of China's distress Is
so tragic that am moved, therefore
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
TO this humanitarian cause as gensr
ously as they possibly can"
In appo nting the American commit

one of the members and Thomas W
Lamont of New York, as chairman
President Wilson said in his procla

"Not only in the name of humanity

even though the TASK Of giving is ne
today light one, respond as they ca
