Human happiness U the robI of unl- versal history, says thtTRlilKwaf Adro tate. Whatevor else may ba Bald the fact remaius that tho one Impelling purpose In the liven 6? us all Is to bring; ' greater happiness either to ourselves or to others, usually to both. And yet how. Indirectly most people approach the task of becoralrjR happy. How many men get sidetracked Into paths of money grabbing and fame gaining, in their vain search for the object of all human effort? Man Is fast learning to approach most problems on a scien tific manner: he Is studying the real essentials of most questions and is learning to solve them In the simplest and most effective manner. But as yet his methods of attaining human happi ness are crude and Ignorant. Who Is the nappies, one on earth? It Is the Hitle child. Lteht hearted and without a care the child knows no worry, no fear, no knawings of con science. He Is the great master In the art of being happy, the leader in the race at which most men and women make a miserable failure "And a little child shall lead them," contained a truth few men have ever learned to apply. The child lives In the present. He sees no clouds In the horlzen which are the haunting fear, and happiness - destroyer of his elders. He Is not guilty of the sin of worrying over the imaginary evils that the futute may have In store. In a perfectly natural way he "takes no thought for the morrow," which is one of the secrets of his success In the greatest art Oi the centuries. Lawlessness. "Lawlessness feeds upon Itself," savs the Washington Herald, "and waxes fatter and fatter as the diet is furnished in even more generous measure. It cankers the soul of the rich and the poor Impartially. It produces a lynch er in Florida and a millionaire thief among the sugar trust kings In New York. The one breaks one command ment by taking human life without un disputed justification, and the other breaks another commandment by era ploying false weights and measures in dealing with hU follow-man and sup plying bis bodily wants and nei esslttps And both are the victim of them selves and the taint of disrepect for the law of the land." Among the most original students of child Hfe In America U to be reckoned Professor Eirl Barr.es. It wa in Cal ifornia that be first b'gan his studies Of children's Ideals. He asked children in the schools of California who tbey would like to be if tbey bad their choice. These questions have since been asked of thousands of children in all parts of the United States and Eng land. The tabulation of the results Is significant. American children at first want to be like Washington and Lincoln but later they become interested in more concrete careers and their ambi tions take on many types of personality that the environment provides. Prof. Barnes is always in demand for educa tional lectures artf is on the list of Chautauqua Institution for the summer Ofl909. When Secretary Seward negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia - most people thought of it very much as Louis XV of France thought of Canada that it was a "few arpents of snow." Political considerations mainly Influenc ed both America and Russia in the matter and but few thpught that the country would ever be o( commercal value. But the discovery of gold and , fuller knowledge have proved that the climate conditions, at least in some sections, were more favorable than supposed and the natural sources of immense value. The exposition now open ia Seattle will still further reveal the possibilities of Alaska and the development that has already taken place. .Some philosopher once said that be , ginning a thing is half the end ' That is true when the beginning is right and made with resolution - and purpose. Under such 'circumstances the course' leads' straight. If sometimes long, to the goal. The estimate' formed of a man's re ligion is based upon his deeds and not upon his profession. The man whose actions do not square with his words ao never make a favorab e impression on others, however lengthy his prayers. .. This is the age .which adores power and success. It is impatient with fail ure, yet bow frujostaUj the failure of to-day becomes the success of to aorrow. . Must Enforce Law. Game ward -na throughout. IhM state bavn within th.1 iuut few dajs rt-olyi d copies of a leiwr from S'Wetary K i l tnsoflho State Game CiimiolHetnn in which tliey are given punitive Innruu Hons lo enforce the law which pro hibits unnaturalized forelgnum from having firearms of any klud in their n.hMHrixlon. Under this law unnatural ized foreigners are not pjrmitltd to even own a gun oi any deccrlp ion anu If one Is found In the 'house of an uu nituraMsed foreigner, the weapon is s ihj est to confiscation and the owner lUbio to arrest. Game wardens and other, howtvor, have b en Instructed not to enforce this law until after the first of July, so that owners of weapons will have the chance to dispose of them before they are made subject to the penalty Imposed for owning or carrying weapons. If foreigners are caught vlo 1 illng the provisions of the game laws bjfore the first of July, according to the Instruction they are to be arrested un der the' provisions of the law. The use of automatic gucs In hunting Is abso lutely forbidden and game wardens are instructed to make arrests of any per sons having such guns in their posses sion while out hunting. Incidentally the Yukon-Alaka-Pa-o fio Exposition reminds us how near at one time this country came to losing all that magnificent territory now em braced In. the states of Oregon and Washington. Webster and other of our statesman of that period strangely thought that the country could never support more than a few roving hunters and were not unwilling to let Great Britain have it. Fortunately W hitman and a few others, who knew its possi bilities, managed to persuade the government at Washington and so a splendid empire was saved. But it was a close call. This is the time of the year when, because of recurring national anniver saries, we hear talk anout being ready tu die for one's country, Fortunately, there Is no demand now for that sacri fice, but to live for one's country is always In order. That Is best done by obedience to its laws, reverence for its institutions, the cheerful performance ot the duties of cttizinship, and a clean, upright and useful life. French capita, lats are turning to Canada as a field for investment. Their experience with Russia in which they have Invested thousands of millions of dollars has been far from profitable and naturally they turn to countries where the prospect Is more inviting. On sentimental grounds, as well as finan cial, they will probably find Canada, with its rapid development of resour ces, enterprise and stable insiiti'.tuins far moro to their liking. Some business men wondt r why some people fail to ftvor tbeui with business and nine times out of ten they are the very ones wbo are sending out of town (or stuff to be bad right at home To (me a few cents some will drive away dollars Stand by your town and help yourself as well as others who are doing their share. Don't be a chump. Some men ot collosal fortunes gt lots of credit and applause for their suppos ed generosity to charitable institutions. But if the people were not compelled to pay tribute to monopolies whereby a few men amass immense fortunes which are good neither for themselves, their children nor the country, there would be fewer objects of charity. No one should shrink from criticism if it Is made in the spirit of hostility. When it is honestly and kindly given and honeelly and kindly accepted it makes fur prog rem and betterment. And if it is made with hostile intent the chances are that ii Is the critic and not the tjne wbo is criticized who ultimately buffers. Rich Men's Gifts are Poor Besides this: "I want to go on record as saying that I regard Electric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman,, writes Mrs. O. Rhlnevault, of Vestal Center, N. Y. "I can never forget what it has done for me." This glorious medicine gives a woman buoyant spirits, vigor of body and jubilant health. It quickly cures nervousness, sleepnessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells: soon builds up the weak, ailing and sickly. Try them. 50c at H. L. McEntlre's. Take Notice.
