ing that there is no money in farm
ing or the mercantile business, and
warning young men that they will
starve if they become lawyers or doc
tors, or actors, or writer's, or artists.
Yet there are rich farmers with
bursting granaries. Everywhere mill
lionaire business men. There ARE
world-famous lawyers and doctors
and matinee idols and men who write
best sellers.
And the successes are side by side
with the failures, working in the
same environment, under the same
conditions, and the only difference
is the difference in the men them
selves. 1t is the difference in the
energy, the grit, the determination,
the stick-at-iveness, the heart and
soul and brains that one man put
into his work and the other didn't.
Whether we are happy or not de-
Ponds upon ourselves, for in realty
we all have pretty much the same
raw material with which to work.
Sickness, suffering, the death of
those we love, disappointment, come
to us all. The poorest woman alive
and the millionairess bear their chill
dren in the same agony, and weep
the same tears over little coffins.
Money does not buy love, tenderness
nor peace of mind, and just as many
hearts ache under silver brocade as
do under cotton.
But we can hold our souls serene if
we will. We can keep from fretting.
We can resolutely extract the sweet
instead of the bitter out of life. We
can dwell on our blessings instead
Of our miseries, and we can acquire
a philosophy that will enable us to
laugh instead of weep over the mis-
adventures that befall us.
For our lives are what we make
them. 1t is all up to us.

In the green fields OF Virginia
Where the honeysuckle grows
There we find a land OF sunshine,
Peace, contentment and repose
There the corn ia gently waving
In the COOL refreshing breeze:
There the flowers, in their fra GRANGE,
Furnish work for honey bees.
There the brooks of purest waters
Babble DER their gravel bed
While the wild grapes, sweet and tempting
Hang in clusters overhead.
There the old old-fashioned fireplace
Has his ancient tale 10 tell
And the iron-b bound oaken bucket
Hangs, moss-cOvered, in the WELL
There we find all men are brothers,
Stunning wrong and doing right.

Eileen:
Sweet peas should be planted not
later than the 14th of February to
get the best results. Dig your trench
two feet deep, put in layer of
chicken manure if you have it, if
not, stable manure; cover this with
a layer of the top soil, plant your
seeds on this and cover about three
inches. When your seeds begin to
sprout, carefully draw some more Of
the dirt over them. Continue this
until you have made slight mound
about your trench; by this time they
will be safe from frost. Of course,
you have to stake them.
