LET US SMILE.
The thing: that goes the fartheest toward making
life worth while.
That coBts the least and does the most, is juBt a
pleasant smile—
The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its
fellow-men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the
sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly
kindness blent—
It's worth a million dollars, and doesn’t coBt a
cent.
There is no room for Badness when we see a cheery
smile;
It always has the same good look—it’s never out
of style—
It nerves us on to try again when failure makes
us blue;—
The dimplea of encouragement are good for mo
ana you.
It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent—
It’s worth a million dollars, and doesn’t cost a
cent.

"The Man Who Made Money Out
of It.”
Collier’s Weekly. •
Back in 1894 Geo. W. Cram was a
skillful, hard-working carpenter, with a
good wife, a comfortable home, and
five grown children just beginning to
make their own way. Now the heart
throb journalists of New York City are
wondering what he will do with the fag
end of life that remains to him after
having served twenty years and five
months in the penitentiary. He came
home one October day at nine o’clock
in the morning crazy drunk, and at once
murdered the wife with whom he had
lived happily for over thirty years.
Cram was overpowered by his son,
tried, and sentenced to die. The sen
tence was commuted to life imprison
ment. He was a model prisoner, with a
perfect record, and now Governor
Whitman has pardoned the old man in
his eighty-sixth year. What can he
do? Well, ft would be a good idea to
put that up to the distillers! They
rang up the profits on the whiskey that
drove Cram to his crime of insane rage
against his own wife. This man is a
martyr to their alcoholic gospel of per
sonal liberty, their false and pernicious
doctrine of freedom to get crazy drunk,
They ought to pension'him,—get him a
quiet lodging in Borne shady side street
of Peoria or Louisville or Baltimore.
The old man could sign their testimoni
als as to the food and tonic ’’values'
of their booze. His picture would be
venerable evidetce (to. the whiskey
suckers) to the age of their seasoned
output. Their cruel greed for gain, and
more gain, was the bottom cuuse in the
wreck of Geo. W. Cram’s life, and if
there is any mercy or justice in the
booze venders they will look after their
victim. Some day we will have dis
tillers’ liability enforced.
The Trials of a Farmer - Who
Moved to Town..
In Farm and Fireside is the story/ of
a farmer who sold his property to {live
in. the city, because his city friendB
“wore good clothes, bad money jingling
in their pockets, went to the movieB,
belonged to the clubs, and enjoyed a
yearly vacation." He found, however,
that the dity man pays dearly for these
luxuries.
‘We came to know.” he Baid, “that
it was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o’clock in the morn
ing as it was for the country man to
get up at five. Why so? Because he
must not relax; he is ever on duty. He
must smile at this person and that per
son. He dare not notice anyone's pe
culiarities, or oddities, or unreasonable-
is. The result is, he must find his
relaxation in the evening; therefore
the family rarely gets to bed before
ten or eleven o’clock, and Beven in the
morning finds him just as sleepy and
far lesB refreshed than five found him
an the farm.
“We found going to work for some
body else every day in the year, ex
cept Sunday, and perhaps a two weeks’
vacation, under somebody else as man
ager, didn't exactly suit our country
spirit of freedom. We csme to know
that our friends saved scarcely a cent;
and, furthermore, one couldn’t exactly
see how they were extravagant. In
the city it seems unbelievably hard to
separate luxuries from necessities.’’
Get Bid of a Backing La Grippe
Cough—It Weakens.
For .the severe racking cough that
comes with la grippe, Foley’s Honey
and Tar Compound is wonderfully heal
ing and soothing. It eases the tight
ness over the chest, raises the phlegm
easily and helps the> racking, tearing
cough that is so exhausting and weak
ening. R. G. Collins, ex-postmaster,
Barnegat, N. J.-, says: "Foley’s Honey
and Tar Compound soon stopped the
severe la grippe cough that completely
exhausted me. It can’t be beat.” J.

Leap Year.
Griflln Now and San.
Even in the midst of war’s alarms
and the busy upbuilding of business,
the romantic fact must not be over
looked that the new year which opened
the other day is “Leap Year.” From
now on the bachelor is supposed to be
on the defensive; at least, the joke-
smiths will have it so. The weaker and
more angelic box may now forget the
customary shynesB of their kind and
put the reverse lever on conventions by
popping the question to the faint
hearted. They may pop and they may
not; they may win a hubby and they
may not. Statistics fail to show the
results achieved in other years. But
there will be never a lack of topic
for talk during the year. Perhaps it
will sound like a relief from the weath
er talk, but it is bound to be monoto
nous before 366 days have expired.
Why and when it became a year for
the “female of the species" to propose
matrimony to the male aB an inalien
able right, without Iobb of maidenly
dignity, is not set down in tradition.
Possibly it was inspired far back by a
feeling of gallantry, ordaining that the
girls should be given a chance at play
ing the principal role in the lottery of
marriage. Or perhaps, as the skepti
cal are wont to think, it is just a huge
joke in itself.
Parents should be cautiouB about
giving their children permission to stay
out of school. Every day out is a day
lost to the school work—they cannot
make it up. They will soon be behind
and want to stop school—and find fault
with the teacher- say she is partial,
etc., when all the time the parents are
to blame. .

Hat That Can’t Be Seen.
Philadelphia Ledsor.
Among the American fashions of
latest, annunciation is the invisible hat,
which seems to be no more than a few
roBe petals and a gauzy filament be
tween.
Mere man is rarely able to describe
a woman’s hat, though It be a part of
the subtle enginnery that achieves his
captivation.
The new hat is a symbol of, the in
visible halo which—as “every woman
knows”—is a part of the dim and neb
ulous aura of femininity that envelops,
her being, and fragantly bespeaks “the
sweet presence of good diffused.”
Fashions wax and wane, serenely ob
livious of light raillery or caustic cen
sorship, and what one decade extols as
beautiful iB laughed out of court by
the next. And still "the eternal femi
nine” rests its eternal puissance large
ly upon those mysterious devices of
the adornment of the person that pro
vide at once the delight and the dis
traction of mankind. Have sages,
statesmen and Napoleons of finance
ever noted that the price of the hat is
always Inversely proportioned to its
superficial area? The only objection to
the wholly invisible hat is likely to be
its prohibitive cost.
Constipation and Indigestion.
“I have used Chamberlain’s Tablets
and must say they are the best I have
ever used for constipation and indiges
tion. My wife also used them for in
digestion and they did her good,”
writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington,
N. C. Obtainable everywhere.
So prosperous is New Zealand that a
war tax may not be necessary this year.
