Was it one of her evil spirits that suggested a plan—at the time she thought it a pleasdant one—for surprising her husband on his return? Her idea was -to illuminate the house. . 4 ; With her to think was to act. In a ~ few minutes there was a flame on every gas-jet, upstairs and down, in the house. Naturally enough for a woman, she was curious to see how -the place would appear to an outsider. Bundled up in a shawl, she darted out of the front door in.a hurry, fearing Mr. Twindle might surprise her. The show was a fine one; Dick would sure1y admit it; it would please her if anyone concluded a big function was go- ~ ing on in the little house. The air was cold for out-door sentiment, and she hastened to get inside again, only to havé thé chill of her life when she ~ found that the front door was shut hard and fast against her—held tight ~ with its spring lock, and her latch-key on the mantel, just as Dick had told her. She comprehended the situation in a breath, was frightened, almost colk lapsed. It avhiled her nothing to Kick and push and sputter out her passiop; the wood and theg:ht kept grim ahd silent.

The Art of Being Happy.

“Cheerfulness,” says Ruskin, “is as natural to the heart of man in strong health as glow to his cheek, and wherever there is habitual gloom there must be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor or erring habits of life.” If children were taught that one of the great life duties is to unfold the fun-loving side of their nature, the humorous side. there would not be so many suicides, so wany unhappy, dis¢ordant, miserable people, so many failures in the world, —Success Magazine. ‘ e

Guarding Against Black Sheep.

There is at the kaiser's Berlin palace an Oberhofmeisterin, a lady who has been described as & court chamberlain in petticoats, who has to make personal acquaintance with every lady before she attends a court. :

¢ Affection can withstand very severe storms of rigor, but not a long polar frost of downright indifference. Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope, but not altogether wi}hout it—Sir Wal ter Scott.

NOT A CASE FOR DISCIPLINE

Put Yourself in Daddy's Position, and Then Decide Just What You 2 Would Do.

Dr. Alpha G. Kynett of Phflgdelph}a, secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal church, is the son and grandson of preachers. As such he is for peace. But he has a four-teen-vear-old son, who, as the doctor told_ the story the other day, dearly loves a fight. So frequently did he come home from school bearing the marks of .the conflict that his father said to him one day: ‘‘Now, Gerald, this fighting has to stop. If anybody insults you, you may defend yourself; but if you get into another fight without & very good reason you will have to settle with me.” 7.

A few days later Dr. Kynett, coming home one day unexpectedly to lunch, saw that Gerald had been fighting. . “What have you been doing?” he askad : e

R R e “Their swinging reminds. me of ‘the time when ‘Snake’ Deal was playing first base for Cincinnati, He had been going badly in a hitting way, and finally one day in Chicago, when it canie bis turn to bat, he walked to the plate without anything in his hand but his fist. ‘Here, “Snake,”’ yelled Hanlon, ‘take a bat and have a crack at it ‘What's the use? replied Deal, ‘1 can’t do any better with a bat than 1 can without one.” e Defeats were few and -far between for the Americans, and. they more than made their expenses. “But we spent a lot of money at thit” said Delchanty. “The greatest sight on the entire trip? Nothing but the Golden Gate at San Francisco when we came back home. I wouldn't give a nickel for any country we visited i 1 1 had to live there.
