MAKING HAPPINESS EPIDEMIC.
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-'

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
