IS HAPPINESS
If you want to be happy, you must learn how to busy
yourself with unimportant things. This bit of advice compR
from A. Edward Newton in a recent book, "This Dook Col
lecting Game." Mr. Newton explains that by following it
himself he has found happiness, and he cities instances of
others who have done likewise. There was, for instanco,
a clergyman who got interested in studying the natural his
tory of his parish. He spent hours daily watching the birds,
bats, frogs, squirrels, fishes and insects of the nearby coun
tryside, and lived an exceedingly happy life. To be sure, he
neglected his pastoral duties very badly, forgot to get mar-; thai portion of a turkeys anatomy

ried and took no interest in the things that were going on '
in the world-4,ut, after all, he was happy. A philosophy I ZTZrX S

Probably that is one reason why so many foreign visitors those birda who are always gonna
have gone home to report that "Americans do not seem ;'fno a eorrect lmiut",n
happy they are too restless." It is largely true. We are
born and bred to a tradition that says that an American's Th w.;,w5i ."J!

and most of them never even had time to wonder whether
they were as happy as they might have been. The pioneer
days are over now, and we have more leisure. We can de
vote ourselves to unimportant things if we want to and no
body will be harmed. Yet there is small chance that any
very great number of us will do it. For the old tradition
still is strong and rightly so. We have left the old, physi
cal frontier behind us only to reach new one. We have
taken the puzzling, incomprehensible industrial age; which
burst upon tho world with the invention of the steam en
gine, and have undertaken to develop it to its logical conclu
sion: Wc are still pioneering. So, probably, most of us
will have to defer the business of devoting a lifetime to the
search for happiness. It would be a fine thing to do but
it just isn't in us. We are futed to bo hard workers. And
it is our hope that out of this endless struggle and devotio.i
to duty will flower, some day, a new era in which the chil
dren of our children can hold fast to the happiness which we
have not time to seek.

A sixth highway bridge in Douglas county has been'
named after a pioneer woman
Mrs. Esther Wells Smith and in this manner the county
' continues to pay dua Innor to those hardy women who by
incessant toil and indomitable spirit aided their mates in
carving homes out of a wilderness and carrying on essential
activities, the while giving to posterity useful sons and
daughters. Representing the progress of. industry and ma
terial strength, these bridges are apt illustrations of the
stout-hearted and hard-working women after whom they
are named and whoso unremitting labors and devotion to
duty contributed so greatly to the county's economic and so
cial advancement, Mrs. Smith's accomplishment in operat
ing a river ferry at Elkton for ten years after her hus
band's death and rearing a family of children at the siune
time is typical of the physical hardihood and maternal devo
tion general among women of pioneer days. To honor ail
such in the way that Mrs. Smith and five other ladies have
been honored would require a great many more highway
bridges than Douglas county now possesses and perhaps ever
will possess.
When a man i in d"ep rag, his actions are apt to move
in decidedly unexpected and illogical directions.. One James
Nevins was locked up in the Cleveland jail, awaiting re

all peculiar murders, this one, committed inside a jail, with
the victim playing the part of luckless object of the murder
er's wrath against another man, is about the weirdest

Perhaps dowri deep within ourselves
Still lurks a relic t( these elves

F.re on our shoulders loads were hung,
When in our mind the fairies played
Had never learned to be niratd.
So this Brazilian jungle trip
I las seized my thought with strangle grip;
Imagination is on fire
I cannot help but tune my lyre

And with them bircis of splendor hue-.
