IT’S UP TO US.

A. paragraph is flitting around in the press to the effect that “the future may be bright for some, but the road will always be dark for others.’’ ‘ Of course some pessimist wrote it, for pessimists always mill around in the shadows. As a matter, of hard fact, this world is always just about what we choose to make it. if we pull a long face and go out burning for troubles, wo will find then:—in hunches. ; i "> We Padrile.-purselves with a case of the blues in the morning, and bang crfito it with a death grip all day, and take it to bed with vis at night, we will probably find life’s pathway shrouded.in gloom. Rut it will be gloom of our own making, and we will be getting only that which we sought. But how different is the other side? Gad inflicts us all with certain troubles, but lie also gives us brains, and determination, and a will power With which to rise above the petty perplexities and tribulations o' life. The bright side of existence is all around us—in front of us —everywhere we turn—constantly knocking for admission. It is ours for the taking. The man or woman who cannot feel thankful for the pure air, and the bright sunshine, and three meals a day, is something less than a normal being. There is a screw loose somewhere. Even the anihials of the earth and the birds of the air are not so degenerate in their class, for they seek always for the brightness of life.

And is our intelligence and our will power inferior to theirs, that we should live with an ache and die with a grunt? Every trouble inflicted upon us is for our ultimate good, and they are infinitesimal when compared with the joys of a bright mind, a clear conscience and a determination to reap to the fullest of life’s blessings. Jf the road is dark to some; it is because they do not use the brains which Cod gave them in overcoming

the obstacles which He in His wisdom has placed in their pathway. Our future is up to us, to make or to mar, as we choose.

THE MAX WHO ADVERTISES. There are two classes of merchants —those Who advertise, and those who do not. The man who advertises has the bos; of the deal. He keeps himself before the public—he keeps his wares before the public—-and he keeps their quality and price uppermost in the public mind. People talk about the man who advorrises,. because they know no has • something worth advertising—or he wouldn't advertise. . Cobwebs never grow in the store <>- ;he man who advertises, because people buy his goods because he does advertise. People read the advertisements - they look for them and expect to f'ful them—.2nd often end; in forget-, ting the man who does not adver-, <ise - .
