A GENERAL FAILING

"We are too prone to be satisfied with our circumstances to think they're too good, even when they're to the bad.
 "A young mans wife presented him with twins. He growled little at first, but he soon became reconciled, more than reconciled.
 "A week or so after the twins came, he saw from the window a woman wheeling a baby carriage that con- tained a bouncing babe. He gave g loud snoring laugh at the sight. Doesn't that woman look queer, he said, with only one child '"

What an uncommon talen may do

Kind to make admirers for Fedora
to-day. The tragic portent which has
often animated the scene outside the
death chamber of her wound ed lover
was altogether missing in the first act.
Nor was the overwhelming passion, the
agonizing grief of the Muscovite prin-
cess who finds herself in love with the
man who slew her betrothed ever at
such a height that one forgot the
artificiality of the situation.
Miss Lohr's methods are indeed
largely evolutionary. She declaims elo-

in accordance with the conventions of
an older theater than our own and is
not the expression of glowing and

Triumph of The American
Spirit.

We have before us a descriptive
account of the recent celebration
in Sacramento, Calf, of the DAYS
of the gold rush in lS49. As we
read this article, a vivid word pic
ture of one of the most notable
achievements of the American
spirit, the thought occurs, how
many people are there today, who,
If the conditions the "forty-nin-
ers" were daily compelled to meet
were to be repeated, would have
the nerve TO cross the continent
in an old, ramshackle prairie
sooner and face the perils of the
trail and the privation of the de
Sert.
The traditions and experiences
of our pioneer days should be rat
ea among our most cherished pos
sessions, and yet the present gen
Grafton has become so accustomed
TO fat and easy living that the
pioneer spirit seems TO have en-
tirely died out. People, as they
journey across the country, en-
ioying all the comforts of mod
ern travel, have no conception of
the courage and endurance it re-
quired to make a transcontinental
journey such as the "forty-niners'
took
To set out across a painless
wilderness, without even knowing
how they were to live or how long
their wagons would stand the
strain, or how they were TO get
water or food would seem today
TO the average city dweller a pre-
posterous and foolish undertaking.
Some adventurous people might
undertake such a journey from
the pure love of adventure but
not many.
And the same is true of pioneer
conditions right here in Wisconsin
where the feverish excitement of
the lust for hidden wealth was
unknown. 1t required courage and
determination to wrest homes and
farms from the heart of the Wild
erness, the same as it required
courage and determination to face
the perils of the long journey to
California. 1t is that same de
termination that has made Ameri-
ca great. The capacity to endure
hardships and to meet unknown
difficulties as they arose has built
up a country that has become the
foremost on the face of the globe
If its welfare is TO be maintained
this spirit of accomplishment and
endurance can not be allowed to
die out.-Reedsburg Times.

Community interest and cooper
alton not only means a bigger and
better town in which 10 live but
also means greater educational adj
vantages for that community, be-
cause instructors of ability will
only go into those towns where
things are prosperous and schools
are modern and up-to-date enough
70 give them fair remuneration,
consequently the best instructors
are attracted to live, prosperous,
energetic towns.
The same is true in regard TO
churches. Preachers of ability
and power do not like to locate
in a slow, non-progressive COM
unity. They want 10 be in a town
which is constantly developing and
reaching out for better things,
and where there is an opportun-
ity for real work.
This is just another illustration
of how every family of an entire
community is directly and person
ally benefited through their loyal
cooperation in boosting the home
