I Let Us Not Care Too Much lor
i What Happens. Let Us Not
Leave Our Peace of Mind at the
I Mercy of Events C. O. Ames.
I like that philosophy.
It smacks of a certain audaciiy,
and yet it satisfies.
Whatever happens, happens. If
you tried to preveni ii you did your
ksi. Let it happen. It is too late
lo mourn.
I do noi care how healthy or
prosperous or fortunate you may
be, things will happen to make you
miserable if you will let litem.
The happiest man I ever knew
had the Ames philosophy.
He believed in God and loved
boys. He was a big brother to all of
us. No gang was complete without
him. And when something hap
pened to prevent a nutting expedi
tion or fishing or what not he woud
say:
"Well, lei's do something else."
"Hut, Uncle John, the day is
spoiled."
Whereat he would laugh his boy
ish laugh he was over sixty and
reply, "livery day is good for
something."
He never cared too much about
what happened, and his peace of
mind did not depend upon evenis.
One saying in especial I well re
member :
"Don't cry over spilled milk.
Go and get some more. There's
plenty of milk."
Looking back to those days,
when our boyish feet joyously
brushed the dew from the mead
ows of asphodel, I can see that his
life had many happenings that
might have spoiled it, yet I never
saw him in any but a cheerful
mood.
He felt that happenings, how
ever grievous, must in the end be
endured. Therefore why should
he spoil his peace of mind ?
j Rare serenity !
S When 1 see men and women
' fret and fidget and chafe and shor
( en their lives because of that which
must needs happen I think of Un
cle Ren.
I Men and women die daily for
I want of his bit of pgilosophy.
Because none of us ever reaches
; his ideal. All of us are disappoint-
ed. Despile our best laid plans,
; grievous things will happen,
i Shall we, iherefore.be playthings
; of fate? Shall we, because of
l evenis we cannot stay, spoil our
I lives?
I Let us not care loo much for
what happens.
If it happens, let it.
WHAT MAN IS MADE OF.
All of us remember the nursery
rhyme beginning, "what are little
I hnvs ni:iilf nf " UJevpnilv a Eu
ropean medical scientist underiook
lo decide, chemically, what the
average weight man in normal
condition would be worth as prac
tical "raw" material were he to be
worked up into every day commod
ities. He reports a w idely scatter
ed assortment of utilities into
which this average man may be
wrought.
The average man in health has
the material for 13 pounds of can
dles, 1 pound of nails, carbon suf
ficient for SOU pencils, bindings
for Ifi octavo books, 500 knife
nandles, 28 violin strings, 20 lea
spoonsful salt and one pound of
loaf sugar.
We have thatindividual.healihy,
good-sized man among us whom
we designate as "no good." Even
this explanation of his worth as a
raw material for necessary prod
ucts doesn't change his value.
Those processes which would be
necessary to these lines of manu
facture probabiy would bankrupt
any plant equipped for "using him
up." Chicago Tribune.

THE HIGHER FAITH.
He sends no burdens we may not endure,
And after labor there is sweet release;
The midnight billows we may sail secure,
Certain ot refuge and a port of peace.
For comfort call to "Him who sitting in
The circle of heaven" heard the cry
Of those weak voices over all the din,
And fed the ravens, He is ever nigh.
And when the shadows gather like a pall,
The more implicitly trust in the Lord;
When perils threaten us, we should recall
In roaring market place or tranquil room ;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me asiray,
"This is my work; my blessing, not my doom.
Of all who live, I am the only one by whom
This work can best be done in the right way."
Our part is to obey; God's to reward.
"Commit ihy.ways unto the Lord" and ihou
Triumphant into port shall ride at lasi,
Sweet comfori in thy heart and on thy brow
The sunshine speaking of the tempest past!
AFTER THE
When first 1 met Dolly and asked, "May I call?"
"Why yes, if you wish to," she answered, was all.
'Twas raiher discouraging but I've now found
She simply was dying to have me come round !
When first I to Dolly's did wend, after tea,
A maid let me in and informed "she would see !"
Then Dolly tripped down. Who could ever have read
She had watched for my coming and straightway had (led!
When first 1 this Dolly would proudly escort,
I sat long in wait, as a beggar at court,
While Dolly up stairs must still linger and "fix."
She now doth admit she was ready at six.
When first Dolly's hand would I gently retain,
She drew it away 1 must try not again !
Of course, I obeyed, for she did not aver
(As now) that my act was delicious to her !
When first from Dolly I snatched at a kiss,
There never was maiden more angry, I wis;
But now I have learned from her very self fie !
She raiher had hoped I was going to try !
When Dolly 1 asked, "Will you marry me, dear?"
How vastly perplexed did the damsel appear!
How hesitant she ! But she now doth confess
That all she had planned for a month was a "yes !"
When first I met Dolly ('twas ere I was taught,)
I judged her an angel, with innocence fraught,
I set out to win her but now I do see
'Tis somewhat a story of her wining me!
SHE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM.
"The spirit of your departed
husband wishes to speak wilh j
you !" announced the medium.
"I don't believe it ! cried the
skeptical widow.
"Athiest ! His spirit is here
Will you grieve it with your un
belief?" "I'd hale to go as far as that.
But I'll tell you this if he's got
any spirit now, it's a heap more
than ever he had before he died,
an' so I wouldn't recognize it any
how. Pass on 10 the next lady."

"Down near Lexington,"
said Allison, "there is u haunt

hired old Sam. an enlightened
negro, to sleep in t lie plaee that
nighl, 'Von know and 1 know

there was they ean't do any

"So Sain was locked in. On
Monday morning the owiur ap
peared with the wagon, but no
Sam was to be found. There
was a window missing from
the house, though sash and
all. He followed Sam's trail
through a littlo wood by the
saplings that had been bent
down, and finally ho reached
the edge of the swamp. 'That
fool nigger,' said he, 'will get
mired down there if ho don't
look out. I'll come back this
afternoon and get him.'
"But that afternoon he could
not find Sam. Time went on
until he became alarmed about
the old fellow. On Thursday
morning he got on his mule,
took his hound dogs and start
ed out to trail the runaway.
About t o'clock in the afternoon
of Thursday he found the old
chap, completely exhausted.
He was just able to drag a leg.
''What's the matter with you,
you fool nigger?' he demanded.
'Hero you go and bust out of
my house Sunday night, de
stroying a good window com

you been all the time?"
"Laws, Marse Bob," said the
negro, '1 been coming back

LOOK OUT I OR YOUR EACH.

er, who knew how to play and
be a chum with histwelve-year
old lad, "you do not own your
own face,"
The boy looked puzzled. He
had come to the breakfast ta
ble with a frowning, clouded
countenance and had started
moodily to eat his food. Ev
erybody felt the shadow of his
ill spirits evident in his looks.
His father's unexpected words
brought him back to life, and
he looked up with a half-guilty
expression, but did not under
stand what was meant.
"You do not own your own
face." his father repeated. "Do
not forget, that. It belongs to
other people. They, not you,
have to look at it. You have
no right toeoinpoll them to look
at a sour, gloomy and crabbed
face."
The boy had never thought
of that, but he understood and
did not forget. And all of us
should understand, and none
of us forget, that our faces be

TOLD HIS FORTUNE.
While crossing the East Boston
ferry the other evening a little fel
low approached me, saying: "Tell
yer fortune for a nickel, mister."
After a few words wilh the
young fellow I consented. He
took my hand and said : "At first
1 thought you were going to be
come a rich man, hut it's all off
now."
I asked him his reason.
"Well, yer see, boss, anybody
who parts with his money on a
scheme like I played you for will
never be one of them financiers."
I gave him another nickel for his
philosophy. Boston Traveler.

NERVOUS PEOPLE.
Margaret E. Sangster Gives Some
Very Good Advice.
The relentless pressure of our
times and the continual temptation
lo worry because we cannot keep
up the pace has brought about the
prevalence of nervous trouble and
hysteria to a lamentable extent.
Which of us has not some friend
who is broken down through ner
vous exhaustion. Who has not
known the day when she had to
keep a lirm grip on herself lest she
should laugh or cry when she did
not wish io do either? We are
hurried beyond ihe bounds of wis
dom and common sense, and,
more or less, we are driven to
death.
Hurry lies in wait for us like a
wild beast in ambush and pounces
upon us before we are dressed in
the morning. Worry seizes us by
the teeth and snakes us over an
abyss into which we are desper
ately sure we shall plunge.
The result is thai hurry and wor
ry rob our manners of repose and
our faces of beauty long before we
are old. A gified writer has said
that "a woman can spoil a beauti
ful face by an unlovely expression
of the mouth, and she can make a
comely one ridiculous by grotesque
contortions of which she is uncon
scious. If you doubt this just go
out on a crowded thoroughfare in
a shopping district with the delib
erate purpose to study facial ex
pressions. Almost every other
woman you meet will be an object
lesson to you what not to do.
It really is of vast importance
that you give serious attention to
the fact that the mouth is in such
intimate sympathy with your every
thought and feeling."
"That a very large majority of
women are unconscious or heedless
of this fact is evidenced every hour
in the day; not only by the fleeting
distoriions in which they indulge,
that are like a passing cloud, but
by the positively weird grimaces
which are sometimes stamped up
on the faces for many minutes.and
which reveal, if we follow Lava
ter's method of studying character
by imitating the expression, a curi
ous mixture of way ward, half-form
ed impulses and indefinite thoughts.
"Noi only acts but impulses and
feelings which are registered leave
their marks; but the exercise of
the will, controlling by thought our
emotions, can efface the work of
the latier. There is an intuitive
association between the muscles of
expression and the nerve centers
of thought and feeling, and it is
only by being on our guard that
we can control this photograph, as
it were, of our most fleeting
thoughts. With our utmost care
at times it is impossible.
"Whenever the thoughts turn
in the habitual direction a stream
of nervous fluid is conveyed to the
corresponding muscle of expres
sion, and even when the face is
held in unusual control they leave
their impression, strengihening
and deepening the lines, however
imperceptibly at the moment, that
grave upon the face its character,
liven in dreamsevery faintest emo
tion chases its fellow over the
countenance of the unconscious
sleeper, betraying joy or sorrow.
Most people seem to think that
they are not gelling all the happi
ness they are entitled to.
You can make more enemies for
a rival by praising him Mian by
saying mean things about him.
Nothing makes a man appreciate
the good old winter time like an
ice famine.
The tail of a mouse is one of the
conclusions a woman will jump at.
