THE WILL-To- POWER

Living one life does not suffice for some persons. They try to live oth- CTS lives as well.
 This is called the will to- power" and it is one of the dominant human urges. It animates spinsters as well as kaisers and mild seeming moth- CTS as well as tyrannical husbands. It made the great war and it is the most effective destroyer of individual happiness known to the race. To il- lustrate:
 My mother rules with an iron hand in a home which requires no ruling. I am over 30, a successful business woman, and she has managed to break my engagement. She made the man so wretched that he decided to leave me rather than disk sharing a home which would have to be open to her.

Left overs have a way of accumu- lating in a maddening way some times. The Sunday roast is seldom all used up at dinner and cant be thrown away.
 Hash carefully made Is liked by moS men and makes a rourishing one dish main course. Meat balls and meat pies are easy to prepare and economical.
 Hash
 One and one-half cups chopped leftover roast beef, cups chopped raw potatoes, F onion minced, tablespoons bacon fat or drippings, F cup boiling water, salt and pepper. Cooked potatoes may be used. Pare potatoes and put through the coarse knife of the food chopper. Mix chopped meat, potatoes and onion and season with salt and pepper. Melt bacon fat in frying pan and when very hot add meat mixture. Pour the hot water in at one side of the pan, cover closely and cook over a slow fire for 20 minutes. Re move cover and cook until the hash is dry. Turn frequently with broad spatula to prevent burning, but let the hash get brown and crusty all over. Hash made this way cannot be folded like an omelet, but is rath CT light and fluffy. Serve with stewed tomatoes.
 Crowned Hash
 One cup chopped meat. cups mashed potatoes. 1-3 cup boiling wa ter. 3 tablespoons bacon fat, salt and pepper. E teaspoon onion juice, l teaspoon minced parsley
 Put one tablespoon of the fat in a frying pan and heat very hot. Mix

Undesirable Room.

At first sight it would seem that it
must be an unreasonable man who
would find fault with house because
il had one more room than was called
for by the advertisement; but first
sight is not always the best sight.
A real estate agent sent a customer
to- look at fve-room house, that be-
ing just the size he professed to want.
The house proved to be sadly out Of re-
pair, and the prospective tenant went
back to the agents Office.
81 didn't want six-room house." he
said.
"That isn't a six-room house."
answered the agent.
eyes, it is"
"But | say it is"
"But I say it is not" and the agent
began counting. "There's the kitchen,
dining-room, reception-room and two
bedrooms. That's five, isn't it?"
Eyes, but there's the room for i'm
provement, and that's bigger than any
two Of the Others" said the facetious
customer. Cant you show me some
thing else?"

A Door Opened.

Before the bank three or four ner-
sons are waiting for the sres, doors
TO be unlocked. How heavy and
strong they are! You might dash VOLT.
self to pieces against them and fhev
would not give so much as the frac-
ton Of an inch.
A clock begins to strike. 1t the
ninth stroke a clerk appears behind
the door and on the inside of the heavy
plate-glass window hangs e card bear
ing the words, "The Bank Is Open"
Then he turns key in the lock of the
doors and, drawing it out again, re-.
turns to his work. The people out
side press up the steps. The foremost
person puts his shoulder against one
OF the leaves of the door. 1t swings
slowly back, and the people enter the
opened door-opened, not by the
shoulder Of the man without, but by
the key Of the man within.
AS | passed on down the street I
thought of the sign hanging there in
the window, announcing that the bank
was open. The doors indeed were
shut, but the bank was not. Anyone
with business there WAS free 10 enter
He could push confidently against the
closed doors, for he knows that the
clerk always turns the key at nine
O'Clock, and that the turning of the key
opens the bank.
The doors Of opportunity are much
like the doors OF the bank The Mas
ter holds the key to every door. He
urges us to go forward to service and
accomplishment, though again and
again the doors appear to us to be
closed. But really they are not shut
against us. Christ has said, Behold.
have set before thee an open door,"
He does not mean that He has removed
every obstacle from our path He
does mean that He has turned the key
in the lock and that what we could not
do before we now can do. The door
is opened, but We must approach it in
faith and set our shoulder to the task
of pushing it back so that we can en-
ter.
How many times We come to the
doors of opportunity and, finding them
apparently closed, have turned away
discouraged; whereas if we had only
faith and courage we should have
found that the door would swing open
before us if we made any genuine eff
fort.

Wooing in Greece.

Some travellers in Greece who stayed
a. poor little inn, not much more than

girl. whose name proved TO be Aspasia,

wine were brought out, with raw beans
and leeks, and the travellers sat down
TO wait until gathering storm should

Then, the Englishmen of the party

Hard for the NeighbOrs.

During the present financial crisis
it is probable that a great deal of char
ity has been as badly misdirected as
was that of charitably disposed young
woman in Providence, who is noted for
her novel ways of helping the needy.
Z" have such pity for these poor
street musicians" she said one day
Il pay one old Italian forty cents a
week regularly. He plays in the yard
every Thursday afternoon"
But that must be hard. To be al

Illness Revealed Kindness.

After three weeks OF convaleScence,
following a serious operation, Mary
Roberts Rinehart, novelist and play

already planning to enjoy the re-
msinder Of an interrupted vacation.

in her suite at New York hotel.
Rather pale she looked, and very
tired, as she extended her hand and
motioned TO a nearby chair. She was
not the same Mrs. Rinehart, who, a
few months ago, walked UP and down
the suite and answered numberless
questions. But again, as she talked
there came into her eyes the fash of
interest and subdued energy, and IL
was evident that before many months
she once more will be riding over the
plains on horseback in quest Of "col-
or" for her stories.

added with a smile.
"For instance?

how many friends will rally around
someone who seems about to leave
them"
For the first time in her life, Mrs.
Rinehart, during her illness, lost touch
with the outside world, as she ed
mitted regretfully.
"The world in which lived was lin
tied to the view from my window"
she said, "but had one very interest

"Six days week watched the wife
