DAVID BLUBKY, 100* BROAD STREET every woman.” Here 1h the kernel of i!x* matter. It U granted that each of us h;»s the making of our own char acter, why not then th»- making of our own prog re a In every line of en deavor? A happy habit fa a good one. Time was when we were all downcast and dejected simply because It seemed to be the proper thing to bo all that. Now It is very different, f This is partly because the* weather Is cooler and more bracing and partly because the sun fihinr* u golden encourage mom upon bright new a of all kinds, but largely because someone some where has found the bag of smiles and all of us are desirous of knowing something of Its contents. Every da we read In the papers ometfilng new about the spread of poverty, and every day we see some ro w suffering from want or disease. How then, we ask, can we auMuac* an optimism th*C Ik not substantially bused? Th« answer Is that the happy w,r of looking a» things may be on a firm foundation even when based on poverty. A well known writer tells its: Robert Hunter’s plausible asser tion, In bli book f»n poverty, that there are 10,000.000 Americans on the ragged edge of want continues to cause comment and, In Nome quarters, agitation. It has already been noted in these columns that u very large part of this extreme poverty Is among immigrants not yet ‘fitted in,’ .and that another large part comes undor tlx* lx ad of incurable the poor who are mo through one or more of tlx* four great causes of poverty Ignorance, Intemperance, Incompetence and in ertia ! Further, over against tlx* evils Which come from privation tnust be hh the evils which come f r om super* ! fixity. it is no more theory that pov erty is more likely to produce useful members of the next generation than is prosperity, and extreme |»overty is more favorable than extreme prosper ity. And while It Is sad and deplor able that any considerable number of uh should want, It Is not so sad. not ho deplorable or so menacing hh the fact ♦ bat so very many Americans are now being brought up In the most enervat- j irig luxury and with Ideals which cen ter about the means of continuing that luxury. Property may be the bashi of civil- Ixntion; but unless property rests up on character, the loftier the civilisa tion the shakier and the rot ton or It ; is.” Here wo have again the matter of character, and again wo assert that i character may be cultivated There aia* many schools for ith development, i and sometimes there is no choice in these, environment and circumstance i largely controlling then); but there are certain phases of Character which wo may develop at will, and a de termined optimism is one of these. There are four good rules to be re j membered in this connection, and the first Is that life ia never a failure ex cept to those who are content to ac cept whatever It may bring Nothing worth having 'ever comes to the man who sits Inertly by and waits for it. The argument might be made tlptt in herited fortunes always come in this way. but might it not be said with equal truth that inherited fortunes more frequently than not fall to carry j with them the best good? To make, the best use of a gift one must priie ft, and a man prlte* hardest that for which lx* works hardest. j 1 The second rule is, whatever your trials, do the host >ou can in spite of them Nine failures out of ten on deavor to excuse themselves Oil the plea that the odds against them were \ too great, and that no man could suc-i coed when no handlesppe<V The truly grout men have sure eded because of these very handicaps tho obstruc tions and impedimenta that necessi tated their putting forth their great- j out Strength The third rule is. Improve every j opportunity to do a kind act. It is no mere idle saying that the truest ANNOUNCtMtNT!

Schaui Opening a Brilliant Event One of the most brilliant events or the session in the business world was the opening, last night, of the gorge oils new Jewelery store of Mr. Lewis J. Sehnul on the eight hundred block of liroad street. In every particular this establish ; menl Is thoroughly metropolitan and I strictly up to the moment. What one might term Its scenic equipment Is perfect, while Its contents are quite princely. The ppetty shop has the effect of being completely lined wiUi art glass, alttce the spacious show win ’ dews are entirely cased In It and the j •ky-llghl is ol the same beautiful material outlined with countless j electric lights for use when the sun I does not Rhine.

The fourth rule is to have faith in your fellow men. There Is nothing more broadening, more elevating than faith it la In the natural order of things that one should occasionally be deceived; hut Is It not better to be deceived once than to suffer doubt a hundred time** Recently there was published a poem In which It was told how one who longed tor the expected coming' ot leave shut tight the door of her heart against alt whom she moat cerdlallx hated While the door was tightly bgrrod because of hate ld’ve came and knocked but could not make an entrance The man or woman opening their henna In faith to all will find Love, glad, welcome.

DORIS Phone 533 1302 May Ave. ROYCROFT PHILOSOPHY * (By Fra Elbertus.) It does not make much difference what a person studies —all knowledge is re lated, and the man who studies anything if he keeps at it will become learned. Work is for the worker. Cultivate Poise. A pedigree may be a matter if pride, but it is not consoling to ambition. Abstinence is not enough, you must make life positive—do something. Secure freedom by holding fast to the truth that there is no evil but fear and that the Reality (God) is on you si^e. Men who are well traduced and hotly denounced are usually pretty good quali ty. No better econium is needed than the detraction of some people- And men who are well hated also have friends who love them well—thus does the law of compensation ever live. It is a great and beautiful thing to be patient if wrongly accused; to be so strongly girded ’round with right that you can meet slander by silence, and calum ny with a smile. Art is the expression of man’s jov in his work. You must let the man work with hand and brain, and then out of the joy of this marriage, beauty will lie born. And this beauty mirrors the best in the soul of man —it shows the spirit of God that runs through him. Art is beauty, and beauty is gratification: a peace and a solace to every nor- * nml man and woman. I'opyuTight, 1908 by Elbert Hubbard.
