Cheer Up If people would devote themselves a little more to philosophy and a tittle less to the pursuit of wealth«and worldly pleasure, we should have more happiness in the world, longer lives in which to enjoy it and fewer suicides. It has seemed of late that almost ever}’ trivial misfortune is occasion for self-destruction. Any kmd of a wrong is sufficient.provoca- Uuii foi murder. We worry life awa) over mishaps which have no necessary influence upon our wel Ltie. A hail storm sweeps across luc wheat fields of the Middle West, and the next morning despondent f.itmers are found hanging around almost every place in trees and barns. A gay young wife tires of the dullness of her husband’s com­ panionship and elopes with a livelier i.oil, wnereupon two souls must be s».-nt unj repared to Heaven. A thousand and one ills that flesh is h ir to are so magnified when viewed through the small glass ol narrow eo vision that it seems better to fly to ills we know not of than to bear those we have.
