Pleasant Hour Wending Club
The annual open meeting of the
Pleasant Hour Reading Club was'
held thia year at the home of
Mrs. J. L. Stuart, on Friday alter-
noon February 20. There were
about fifty people present, part of
them being children who very
cleverly aaai.ted in the old fashion-
ed program. The hoVyhock deco­
rations and the dresses of by-gone
days helped to carry out the old-
fashioned idea.
The interesting
relics displayed, ranging from one
hundred to five hundred or more
years since their first days of use
or beauty,
were the center of
attraction until with much regret
we felt obliged to separs te and get
back to present day duties and
ohlijatione.
Our next regular
meeting will be with Mrs. J. L
Sherman.
The display of antiques at the
Reading Club last Friday, deserve,

Care is taken not to get a ram with

ft is said, 'that a man can acquire
courage in an hour,' and it haa often
lieen done on battle fields. Courage
has even been acquired io a moment, in
the caae of rescuing a loved one from
drowning or tire.
A harder iialtle than gaining courage
is the liattle for self-possession which it
may take a year to win.
But the hardest battle of all is the
battle against temper. It lakes years
of the most intensive training to leach
a person to keep his temper. Temper
and greet! have killed more trusts and
friendships Uiau any one thing. A few
iiot words spoken in a moment of rage
will kill a friendship that haa grown for
years. It may take years to overcome
temper but if you succeed those years
will have been well spent At some
time, on some important occasion, you
may lose control of your temper and do
or say something that you will regret
the rest of your life. Yon must learn
to avoid sudden anger for in quick fits
of teuqier ere the most damaging things
done. It is perfectly right to be
angry at evil such as abuse of
animals and children, but all your
power to help the one in distress
is lost if you give way to a fit of
violent temper.
Sudden anger is
much different from the slow, de­
liberate anger which should be
felt in the face of a great wrong or
evil.
If you cannot control your
temper you cannot be sure of
yourself at any time.
For
instance you may be walking in
the woods, along a narrow pith
where the brush must be pushed
aside to admit you. when the
person ahead thoughtlessly re­
leases a branch which flies beck
and »"trikes you in the face.
You
instantly fly into a rage and say
something that takes al) the sun­
shine from the day for everyone
concerned, while if you had only
sjienl a little time in training your
temper you could have left that
thing unsaid and the day would
have been saved.
Learn to
control your temper and 'think
twice before you speak.’ It will
be a long, hard lesson but it will
pay.

modities of the northwest is to grow,

lie (ewer claims to be met by the rail­
ways, according to C. J. Hurd, market

coat of claims is passed back to the grow­
