I will start anew this morning w Ith a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to stand complain! ng of my ruthless neighbor's greed; I will ceaso to sit repining while my duty's call is clear, I will waste no moment whinln g and my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me for the things that merit .praise; I will search for hidden beauties that elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment in the. paths that I must tread; I will cease to have resentment when another moves ahead. I will not be swayed by envy when my rival's strength is shown; I will not deny his merit, but I'll strivo to prove my own; I will try to see the beauty spread before me, rain or shine I will ceaso to preach your duty and be mo;o concerned with mine.

That It has proved efficacious to a great degree is not questioned by the many who have seen the doers of doubtful deeds scurrying from public gaze whenever those in a position so to do have found It possible or advisable to turn on the light, says an exchange. And that there' is still urgent need of its further- employment is quite obvious to the readers of news papers and magazines, many of which are ardent specialists in the work of bringing to public view the dark, unwholesome, unhappy doings of persons and peoples. It is rather apparent that there are still many trusts, organizations, institutions and "machines" whoso Inner workings must bo Illuminated and whoso ways must be mended. Much more light is still needed and the spirit of tho hour demands that it shall bo forth coming. But in order that their corrective measures may be more equit ably applied and their work more evenly and honestly done have not tho advocates and omployers of publicity a twofold duty to perform? For tho broad betterment of society it is morally and manifestly as essential that the right shall be encouraged as it is that the wrong shall bo discouraged. To be recognized as a persistent and Inevitable fault finder Is to become, in tho estimation of most persons, merely a common scold, whose woVds of admonition lose such power of persuaslyeness as they would naturally possess because there is no normal recognition of right things over against which thoy can bo contrasted. The eye that has become all too familiar with seeing tho spotlight of publicity setting forth with startling distinctness some unfortunate enemy of good-fel lowship or tho ungracious outlines of some unhappy place or purpose should bo joyously reassured betimes by being permitted to dwell upon pictures, of "the-good, the true and the beautiful," which are everywhere' about us In this busy, workaday world. Policies should bo constructive when and where they may; destructive only where they must, and then only for tho purposo of clearing tho ground for the building of a more praiseworthy structure. Tho shining beauty of a commendable example has a moro porent force for keeping men from ways of wrong than has the distressing shadow of punishment indicted as a corrective for misconduct. While "Virtue is her own reward," theio can be no harm in adding -a kind word of ap probation to her compensations now and then. Tho good people of the community and of the wide world should occasionally have an inning. It is well to havo their splendid though unheivilded doings "raked up and exposed." There may be a few clouds In tho Armament but all know that there l's lots and lots of beautifully blue sky. And while tho storm brewers regret that affairs are so bad, the fair weather prophets will con tinue to bo happy and hopeful with tho thought thnt conditions are no worse and that with tho increase of light and truth they are sure to grow bolter. And in tho final analysis of all worldly purposes and en deavors it will be well to remember that very much depends on tho point of view. - Bccauso each rose must hae its thorn, Tho pessimist life's plan opposes; Tho optimist, moro gladly born, Is Joyed because tin thorns havo roses. At Eventide. Weary with play but with eyes aglow With love that the babies only know; Tired of roaming through room and hall; Tired of answering each other's call ' So, when shadows of evening creep, And friends, the birdies, havo gone to sleep, Two tired kiddies come close to me, Perch each ono on a favorite knee, Nestle two heads on my willing breast, Tfien sigh contented and sink to rest. "From Widdleton to Waddleton is fourteen miles; From Waddleton to Widdleton is fourteen miles, From Widdleton to Waddleton, From Waddleton to Widdleton, From Widdleton to Waddleton is fourteen miles." Shining brown eyes looking into mine, Four loving arms that around me twine, Two little hearts that are full of joy Goldenhalred girl and a sturdy boy Of tho giant days and the fairy times, Tims does the eventide glide by Till the sandman closes each sleepy eye, And sinking to sleep in my shelter ing arm I leave them to Him who will shield A fair maid once said to a "Mr.": "I'd like to be klBsed!"
