to third reading Senator Appelt
gave notice of general amendments, t(

bills were to the efTect that it would <x
give too much i>ower to the magls- e<

PREACH THE DOCTRINE OP
CHEERFULNESS.
Jmlle once in a while,
It will maxe your ne?;ri seem ukuuu.
Life's a mirror?If we sir.ile,
Smiles come back to greet us;
If we're frowning all the while.
Frowns forever meet us.
Mr. Paul Polret, tho well-known
Frenchman who visited our shores
last fall, carried away some not very
flattering impressions of our people
and country?says we do not know
how to laugh, or at least must be
"made" to laugh. With the French
laughter Is the expression of a gay
heart, while with the America* humor
is appealed to through the intelligence.
Even in our sports we are serious,
says M. Poiret "Those who take part
in them do it as soberly and as Intensely
as Sf it were an act of busl
nesB. And the .spectators!! They
might be watching a man being tried
for his life. They could hardly look
more concerned if they were."
Many people give us the Impression
that the fained Damocletian sword of
pain, suspended by a thread, hangs
over them constancy, ready to fall
and pierce them at any, moment, even
in their joys and pleasures. They
never qeem to enjoy anything without
alloy. They give you the impression
that they are conscious of the skeleton's
presence at every feast.
The American 'people as a rule take
life mnch too seriously. They., do not
have half enough fun. Europeans look
on our care-worn, solemn-fpcod people
as on pieces of machinery run at
forced speed and which squeak for
lack of oil.
"I question if care and doubt ever
wrote their names so legibly on <tha
faces of any other population," says
Emerson. "Old age begins In the 6
nursery."
Wh? take life so seriously, anyway* *
A lot 0/ play will not only improve s
your health, but incseaBe your effl' J
ciency wonderfully. ' 4
If a man is living in a perfectly nor-.,1
mal way he ought not to have, as so 8
many have, a haunted, hounded look. c
as though he suspected either a policeman
or a detective were on his track, t
He ought not to be worried sind i
anxious every minute. He ought not E
to take his vocation so very seriously, c
and should not give the impression c
that the whole universe is hanging *
upon the result of bis task. 1
A great many men fall because they t
are too serious; because they develop t
unsocial, morose, cold quialltiefl, which 8
repel and which make them poor mixers.
It is the sunshiny, happy nature t
which attracts friends and trade. The v
too serlouB people seem to say, "Keep t
away irom me, me i? iuu scuuui <* ?.
matter to bo spent on trivial thing?." t
They are dry and rutty because there \
is not enough play In their lives to t
furnish the necessary lubrication,, va- b
riety, or change. d
Not long ago I heard a young cler- d
gyman preach a sermon which was so t
very serious, and so verr gloomy, that t
it made eveiybody in ,thu congregation n
feel melancholy and depressed. There t
was no "uplift, no encouragement, noth
ing to stimulate one to greatest en- o
deavor. People did not go out of the v
church,, as they should have gone, re- c
solved to try a little harder than ever ii
before, to do something worth while:
but the whol e congregation went away t
with a gloomy look on their faces t
There had been nothing inspiring in v
the clergyman's appearance. His face t
was so serious and bis whole majaaer t
so depressirg that it was reallv pain: f
ful to listen to him. v
People ha re burdens enough of their p
own to bear and do not want anybody 1
to inject daik, doleful pictures in .heir r
minds. Th?y go to church for uplift, c
encouragement. They want to rid t
themselves of the enemies of their a
happiness and prosperity. Thousands h
of people who now remain away from t
church would gladly gc if they could
come away feeling uplifted, encouraged,
and with increased hopefulness.
"He that cannot laugh and be gay g
Bhould look to himseli," wrote Henry
Ward Beecher. "He ulioujd fast and ,r
pray until his face breaks forth Into f
light."

TRAGEDIES CAUSE:!) BY THE c
TONGUE.
They hai! "heard rumors and be- <3
came frightened." ThiB was the only
reason the panic-stricken depositors a
would give for their mad rush on the <3
bank for savings in K' >w York a few
days ago. c
The silly gossip of a 3ervant, it was t
thought, stirted the rumor that the f
bank was in difficulties Although its t
president ntated that the deposits 1
were ninety-seven million dollars, c
nearly eleven millions of a surplus, a
and that tie largest banks in New
York had cffered to come to the res- \
cue with flity million dollars if necesBary,
yet thousands of men and women
crowded one another In their frantic
haste to get their money out of c
one of the noundest institutions in tiie i
country! 1
The whole fabric of the business 1
world han<;s upon confidence. Our ?
vast credit system depends absolute- '
ly upon it. Anything which throws *
the slightest suspicion upon it causes r
disaster. Nothing else is s,o eensi- ?
tive as confidence. And there is noth- 1
Moonlight. I i
One of the most beautiful phases of ! 1
moonilglll is LUttt Jt LUl XJlllj OUIJ1C3 I
upon us with the light of the sun, but t
also, with its crescent shape when it
Is "new," reflects back to us the light

of the otherwise dark part, which ?
has been called "the old moon In the t
arms of the ne'W," That Is called x
"earthshlno," and comparatively few 1
who wltneas the advent cf a "new J
moon" understand the source o! the :
phenomenon, a very cream light oma- <
ing quite so malignant-In Its power tc
Jestroy It, to blast everything ii
touches, as rumor, the baseless gos
sip of idle or malicious people.
Sometimes the least breath of suspicion
will seriously iniure a man's
credit which it has taken a lifetime
to build up. It has ofteD made havoc
jf a woman's reputation.
One of the cruelest things that a
luman being can do is to peddle gossip,
to pass along slander, or even a
true story which tends to injure anjther,
or to put him in an unfavor*
ible light. It is fatally easy to say
iings which will cause lifelong
wounds, and many people are so
jareless with their tongues!
Only a short time ago a woman in
3rookIyn was driven to suicide by
he gossip of her neighbors. They
old her that her husband was payng
attention to other women; and
ilthough he assured her that he was
loing nothing of the kind the gossips
mcceeded in making her so jealous
hat she poisoned herself.
I know people who would never
,'orgive themselves for striking an>ther
with their hands, but who do
lot hesitate to stab an absent person
n 'the, back with an unkind, uncbartable,
cruel remark, or to - spread a
>it of slander which'may have disas
reus effects on the victim.
Homo years ago this headline ap
jeared In a New York dally:. "Georgia
Ct.yvan Dies on a Sanatorium
3ot! Falsehood Ended Her Career."
Kiss Cayvan was an actress. She
>egaa her career by reading selecions
from Shakespeare to customers

L scandal was started which so preyed
ipon Miss Cayvan's sensitive mind
Aat she fell into melancholy and
lever returned to the stage. Alhough
it was proved that the nctress
vas in Europe at the time of the
icandal in this country with which
ler name, was falsely connected, and
iotwlthstandlng the fact that her charicter
received a sweeping vindication,*
ret the wagging tongues continued
o peddle the scandalous gossip until
ler melancholy developed into pare1s,
and finally put her beyond medial
aid.
There are thousands of people in
he great failure army today who
mgai nave ueeu a duwcbo uui >ui wn
[ossipfi. The unkind criticisms of
:ompanions pr neighbors, the scanlals
calculated by the thoughtless or
>vll-ininded unnerved them. They
oct heart when even those they
hought were friends stabbed them
a the back and they gave up the'
truggle.
We probab'ly have all 6f us come

tot stand the strain of misrepresentalon?
There Is no meaner, more cowardly
ir contemptible thing than to take adantage
of another's absence to disuss
his shortcomings, and to peddle
die gcssip and slander about bim.
I believe the time will come when
he person who says unkind, cruel
hings about another in his absence
vlll be ostracized. as an enemy of
he race, will be despised as a traitor
o everything that constitutes real
rier.dship and true manliness or
womanliness. There is no more deslicable
habit than the gossip habit,

The Fresh Air Cure.
Plenty of fresh, pure air Is an esentlal
part of a patient's treatment
Pure air Is just as important and
lecessary for good health as are pure
ood and pure water.
fresh air and sunlight are the
iheapest and best agents for the relovery
of an ill person.
Let fresh air and sunlight enter
'our sick rooms, through open winIowa
as much as possible.
Expose the bed clothing to the open
ill* and sunshine for some time each
lay.
Sleep with the bedroom windows
>pen, says nurse. The old sUperstiion
that night air is unhealthy even
o? at; invalid Is entirely false. On
he contrary, night air, especially in
a:"ge cities, is purer and better than

To Boll Egg* Properly. j
There are three good ways to boil
in egg that has been cracked. A very <
simple one is to add quite a little salt '
to the water in which the egg is to be 1
boiled. This will prevent the white 1
coming out. If the crack is very large,
wrap the egg in a piece of soft paper. '
The wet paper adhering to the egg, pre- '
vents the egg coming out of the shell. *
If there Is only a tiny crack at one *
end, make a tiny opening in the other
end with a needle and the desired resuit
is secured. The latter method may
be used to boil eggs preserved in J
water glass, the puncture being made t
at both ends.

Separate Young Stock.

grown-up herd, and when these young
animals are knocked about, cheated
