Talosophy is defined by its chief present day proponent, Qilliam Ver- - ' 1 non Backus of Cleveland as "the art of making happiness epidemic." . Mr. Backus will be recalled as the man who founded the Appreciation league, the members of which pledged them selves to remember the pleasant and ignore the unpleasant things about the people they meet. ,To put a driving power behind his new philosophy, Mr. Backus has founded a magazine called "The Talo sphist" and the first number of this publication purports to tell the what, the why and the how of the move ment. It bristles with common sense, too. Almost anyone can be happy and make others happy if they try. The secret lies in , thinking happiness, j Harping on the faults of others is not thinking happiness. Envying i others their wealth or influence is not; making the mind a njire of spite-' La Grande National Bank Organized DESIGNATED DEPOSITORY OF UNITED STATES GOVERN MENT.

' ': ' '"y ' : ' ' t i fulness, hatred and malice certainly is not. -To think happiness one must make a constant effort to see what is good in others. It is to clear the brain of petty ill .will, petty jealousy, pet ty emulation. It is to foe broad, tol erant, and above all kindly. Kindliness can be cultivated. It is possible to start out in the morning determined to foe kindly, and live to the resolve. It takes self control but it can be done. And doing it is cap ital fun. Most of us want happiness. Most of us seek it wrongly. We think our own aggrandizement), our own tri umph, our own self-indulgence means happiness for us.. This is just the way to dliscourage it. Happiness can not live in so confined an atmosphere as self. It is absolutely impossible to be selfish and be happy too. t j -Lrweuiu un tile uisttgieeuuio 111 r 1 1 : j: 1. 1 .others is one sure way to be unhappy. i EinpnuBizing me gouu, wnue nut ,so li. 1 ; il.
