If Your Job Is a ISurden, Chance the Work or Readjust Yourself to What You Are Doing The man who regards his work as a task rather than a pleasure will not he able to do the best work of which he is capable. Like wise the man who lives for what he can Ret out of life und work for the mere pecuniary rewards of labor will not do as good work nor accomplish as much as the man who puts his best in to his work. The perfunctory worker will never achieve as much or sway his fellownien as will he who puts his mind, his heart his conscience into his work and regards ii as a privilege and a pleasure. How much of our lives, of our selves, are we putting into our work? Do we work for so many hours a day or for such and such a wage, or do we work to accom plish the worthy things we set out to do and to do these things the very best we can ? Devotion to one's work and diligence therein beget skill and ability in that work and develop superiority in that sphere- We must put not only our hands and our minds into our work, whatever it may be, but our hearts and our consciences into it. No triumph or success attained at the price of injustice to others or of unfair dealingor of short cuts is worth having. Unless we have the approval of our own consci ences we are not doing our work as we should. Unless we enjoy the work and are eager to get back to it and pursue ii diligently, we had best change our work or re adjust ourselves to what we are doing. Perseverance in effort begets skill in the doing and skill begets love of the work, and love of the work stimulates the mind and the imagination to invest even the meanest and the commonest labor wiih dignity and joy. It does not matter nearly so much what our hands find to do as how we do it. How much more and better work we may all do if we acquire pro ficiency in the work and love of it! Love of work is nepenthe for our ills, whether of body, mind or imagination. It is medicine for many, it is strength for more, it should be pleasure for "all. How thankful we should be that we can work and thai we have work to do and above all, that we are doing it earnestly and diligently. One who works thus never doubt approval of the product. Our best thought and effort should go into our work if we should attain the truest and best reward of labor. READY FOR HIM. A farmer spilled some whiskey on his barn floor so that a little stream of it ran out. A certain mouse sallied forth from his hiding place, and, being thirsty, look a sip. It tasted strange and he went back and thoughi. Then he came out and took another sip and went back again and thought. Then he came out and took a big drink Then he jumped up on the edge of the soap box and stood on his hind legs, bristled up his whiskers, and exclaimed : "Now bring out that blamed cai ! Wise is the man who knows what not to say then doesn't say it. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA GREAT BARGAINS IN TYPEWRITERS. We carry a large stock of standard Typewriters.

When the mellow days of Autumn wrap the hills in purple haze, And the sun seems all the dearer for the shortness of the days, Comes a lovely apparition through the mists of other years, And I don't know why it's so thai my eyes will swim wiih tears; For I hate to judge emotions by the text-books roie and rule, And I only know I'm thinking of the girl I loved at school. Of the deepest, brownest velvet are the sweetly thoughtful eyes, And the cheeks are like the roses that our grannies used 10 prize; Not the pampered, pinky blossoms that ihe hothouse man deals out, At four dollars for a doen and with pasteboard wrapped about. But dear old damask roses would hold their lints till Yule Just the sort I used to gather for the girl I loved at school. And the lips, no, no ! not ruby ! for the coldness of the mine Chill the jewel's burnished surface, though the fiery rays may shine In ihe glaring of ihe gaslight; fitter far do ihey compare With the glow in yonder chalice; the same fragrance lingers there. The same thrill runs through me as when on the organ stool I got the first and only kiss of her 1 loved at school. And the form it grows distincter as the misty veil grows thin, And the silver bell that linked her, like the serpent, shutting in All that earth retained of heaven hisses out "Thou jealous fool !" For I parted in my anger from the girl I loved at school. And I know noi if the fleeting of the purple Autumn days, Brings us nearer to the greeting at the meeting of our ways; If ii be 1 may not meet her till we've crossed the stygian pool, Yet I think thai 1 shall greet her as. the girl 1 loved at school.

CASTORIA For iDfauti and Children. rtte Kind You Have Always Bought Bean th STf jE3" Signature of UiUcMl LACE-BORDERED BRIDAL VEILS IN FAVOR TODAY BRIDAL volls of tullfi are nvw out of fQRhion, but sometimes l hey nil are honor with veils of lace or net bordered with toco. Tho liking for a cap drapery on thn bead nan mtiier favored the laco bord'Tf d veil, al though the tulle veil la draped t:ip fafthion also. Lace veils are not always lorig; those of a yard and a half, falling above the knees at the airitt are hk.-d. especially when tho gown l laco trimmed Hie. cap drapery admlta of consid erable variety In arrangenn nt. 'J h! frill, formed by lace edge, may W. of even fullness all around and fall over the forehead, or It may be pluoed at each Ride and the frill turned back from the forehead, or It may be ar- ranged at the top of the forehead, leaving the sides almost plain. The arrangement depends upon which way best becomes the bride. ! In the picture the fulness appears at. the side, with the borriVr tumid back over the fun head. The crown, or puff, which renults from malting the frill about the face, fulls back. If tt Is more becoming, the cap portion may be supported by small wire loops at the front, and made to stand One of the prettiest arrangements shows the frill of even fulness all around and tacked to a circlet ot white, silk covered wire, to hold It in place. This wire circlet la placed on the outside of the cap but ts bidden b a close set wreaih of ornnge blos soms and buds, one flower set Just aft er another la single row. This ar rangement brings the veil Into the pane of the neck. Some families possess wedding veils of beautiful lace, and such a veil must grow dearer with added associations as time goes on. The wedding veil of lace should be kept and. whether the fashion be for long or short veils, worn by the brides In the family. Wedding dresses and veils are always to be conservative In design, abiding by established rules and a little above the whims of fashion That Is. the regulation gown has long sleeves, the neck la covered, and the gown 1b cut In the Princess style. Round necks are admissible, but not low necks. Lace sleeves, and long glovea also. It Is the business of the deslguer or dressmaker to bear In mind the estab lished order of things In making wed ding apparel and to add little present day touches to the plain long lines ot the regulation gown. The cap drapery of the veil Is most popular Just now, because cap of all sorts are greatly favored. It Is best to arrange tt on a circlet of wire be cause It will Btay In place on the head and not become easily disarranged. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. Cameos In Favor. Though the idea of using cameos aa brooches and buckles for modern at tire came to the fore some little while ago. the fashion Is still very much In evidence, all sorlB of cameos being In request for bat trimmings and blouse buckles. Many people, having hunted up their old ones, relics of a past gen eration, are having them reset In fine gold or silver mountings of a much lighter pattern than the rather clumsy originals. Even earrings are made of very small cameos, mounted on thin gold chalnB, and very pretty they are, the delicate pink and white tlntlngs looking exceedingly well for day wear, with costumes of the new dull cop per or tango red. Velvet Novelty. There Is a new cloth called peau de tlgre or leopard skin velvet. It Is silk Tflvt In light chiffon weight. Thero Is a moire and mottled surface to It. and although It Is one colored, this mottled effect makes It appear to be In two shades, ltke the skin of leop ard or tiger. It Is manufactured In Plum, dark blue, golden brown, tobno oo brown, taupe, white and sapphire. Handy Skirt Hanger. Sew the upper end ot a discarded hose supporter to two-Inch length of ribbon. At the other end of the rib bon lew large, strong safety plu. The safety pin fastens through the folded skirt belt, and the hose sup porter slips over the hook In the clos et. A supply of these hanger made with pretty blue or pink ribbon would be nice gift tor girl friend. The supply of gold bricks ex ceeds the demand. But the grass widow is never as green as her till: would indicate. Peace is appreciated by the man who has fought for it, f if fit j f' ! JStstuMil' M- I - i i Those of Middle Age -specially.
