In my mind as a sort of beacon ever | It is'the people whose thoughts grow | | since. In these five words, I am convinced, there is condensed enough truth and magic to transform existence for any one that reads, understands, and obeys. I believe they point the way to happiness, to health, to longevity, and success in this iife, {eep your thoughts on fire.” ‘We are all brought to see, some time in our cxperiences, that the happiest, most keenly beautiful life is the one that is kindled by intense purposes and high aims. We are shown, as well, that an ex- istence which containg no kindling in- centive can never know real happiness, no maftter how crowded it may be with purely material delights, Jluxuries and pleasures. If we should be required to point out those periods In our own lives that held the greatest happiness, the most vigorous | satisfaction, I believe we would immedi- } ately recall the times of stress and earn- estness that wakened into glowing activ- ity our highest thought and will and ef- fort. It is in our moments and hours of zeal, when necessity or incentive rouses the in- terior being to dominate the physical, that we come into the possession of genu- ine happiness. No man can say he has reached happi- ness who has not realized this wakening of the interior, luminous self in those regions where all energy is born. It is the busiest people in this world who are the happiest. They live at a | higher rate of vibration than others and | are able to capture an enjoyment impos- | sible to those who think and work with the slower vibration. Herein lies also' one secret of health. All of us would be much healthier than we are If we could learn to forget our bodies. I do not mean that we should neglect them. By all means, we should give careful attention to the life essen- tials—fresh air, water, food, sleep—for | without these things our physical habita- tion could not be sustained and renewed. But while giving full heed to these essen- tials, we should keep our minds on fire with purposes and ideals that lift the con- sclousness out of the body. 1 believe longevity would be greatly increased could we learn to keep our minds thus illumined. Those persons remain young longest whose minds are active and glowing; whose ideals are young and fresh; whose ambitions grow larger instead of diminishing with the years. 0Old age, decrepitude and. blight are pictured in the mind before they mani- gray, whose aspiratibng sink to ashes, that soonest find themelves old, help- less and forlorn. b Every abandoned ideal is a torch left to flicker out in darkness. Every for- saken interest is a fire left to extin- guishment. What wonder the body fails when the mind no longer warms and illumines it? Lastly, it goes without saying that to achieve success in life we must maintain an energy of purpose that will blaze the way through all ob- staclas. - Samuel V. Cole, president of Wheaton Seminary, in that splendid little book of his, “The Life That Counts,” says something so convincing about the ne- cessity for this fire of enthusiasm that I must quote him here. “It is the earnest life,” he says, “that is needed most. If you should visit the power-house where they generate the electricity that lights the town you would find there a switchboard on which two kinds of registers are set. One kind measures what is called the amperage, or amount of electricity used, and the other measures the volt- age, or intensity, of it. The light that comes does not depend on the amper- age; the amount of electricity may be lirge or small; the light depends on the voltage; that must be kept always at the lighting point; intensity and not quantity produces light. “A man may be able to do many things well and yet lack earnestness enough to do anything sufficiently well to shine.” 1f we would succeed in any under- taking in life, then, we must, above all things, be In dead earnest, with an earnestness which nothing can quench. If we would be happy; If we would be well; if we would live long and worthily; if we would be successful, we must keep our thoughts “on fire.” —_—————————— SAFE. An official in the Land Office at Washington relates how Dr. Whipple, for a long time Bishop of Minnesoth, once undertook to. hold religious ser- vices near an Indian village in one of the Western States. It appears that the Bishop's effects were scattered about the “lodge” and when about to go out he asked the chief if it were safe to leave them there while he went to the village for the services, 2 “Plenty safe,” grunted the Indian; “no white man in a hundred miles from here.”—Harper's Weekly. f o+ More bills than blessings come with a Jarge family of children.—New York Press. “GETTING SOMETHING FOR HIS PAINS.” | Nearly Fearless. e e e S B e VELYN is a little girl whose special lack is courage.

The large oblong table was massed its entire length in artistic groups of pink and red Japanese peonies, the central plece radiating great sprays of pink and white fruit blossoms, and qver all was the soft light of pink-shaded eandélabra.’ Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun entertained Presi- dent and Mrs. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Judge and Mrs. John Garber, Professor and Mrs. Gayley, Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voorhies, Professor and Mrs. Ber- nard Moses, Mr. and Mrs. A.

L1080 A pretty story of sentiment and devotion is exemplified in the marriage which has just taken place between Miss Elise Greg- By Sally Sharp ory and Dr. Nicholas D. Richardson. The latter's very severe illness has been a matter of so great anxiety to his flancee that she waived all formal preparations for a wedding, the ceremony being quietly performed Tuesday morning in the home of Mrs. Henry Payson Gregory, on Val- lejo street. Dr. David MeClure officiated in the presence of but half a dozen wit- pesses, all Jmmediate members of the families. Dr. Richardson is attached to the United States marine hospital service at Angel Island, and his engagement to Miss Gregory during the winter brought many messages of congratulation. His speedy recovery is earnestly hoped for by scores of friends who are sincerely in- terested in the happiness and welfare of Dr. and Mrs. Richardson. e The wedding of Miss Emily Cerf and Isadore Koshland took place quietly last evening at 9 o'clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Cerf, Devisadero and Waskington streets. The bride is a well-known member of the ex- clusive Jewish set and Mr. Koshland a prominent citizen of Portland, Or. Rev. Jacob Voorsanger performed the cere- mony.

INDING that time somewhat heavy upon his hands ' Robinson Crusoe concluded to give Friday another reading lesson. So he called his brunette companion to him. wrote a sentence In the sand of the beach and told Friday to read it to him. “The stick is toe,’ read Friday. “No, no! That word is pronounced tuff. You should say, ‘The stick is tuft.” Wil you remember that?” Friday promised that he would, and Robinson wrote another sentence. “The man goes, thuff he would sooner not,” Friday read. “Your English makes me tired!” Rob- inson remarked. ‘“You should say, ‘The man goes, tho he would sooner not.” Will you remember that, too?” “You betee!" said the pupil, and Crusoe wrote a new sentence. “There is food In the tro,” it was in- terpreted by Friday. “There you go again!" said the ship- wrecked mariner. “Can’t you learn to say, ‘There is food in the trawf? ™ Friday said he could, and, after some hesitation, poor Crusce wrote another sentence. .After one glance at it Friday read, “The slawf is wide.” “I guess it's no use,” Robinson sadly observed. “You never will acquire or ap- preciate the beauties of our noble lan- guage. The sound in that word is that of the dipthong ou, or in the United States it is pronounced sloo. Alas, poor, illiterate savage, what can you know of these charming distinctions? Try this sentence.” Friday read it. “We come agayn.” “Dodrot it all! There you are once more! That word is pronounced agen. Try to make a note of the fact in your alleged mind, will you?" Friday sald he would, and Crusoe once more wrote upon the sand. “Try this sentence,” he said. “You give me a pe: Friday anxiously read. “I don't! What I give you is a pain, or, anyway, you give me one, and I am likely to reciprocate if this les- son is continued. We will adjourn school for the day, for I should hate to kiil off it of the population of Juan Fernan at one fell swoop.” "So the school was adjourned, and hours afterward poor Robinson Crusoe walked alone upon the strand and mut- tered to himself: “My beautiful, beau- tiful language! The queen of all lan- guages! How it does pain me to sit idly by and see it ruthlessly slaugh- tered by an unfeeling black-and-tan alien! I could murder him, but—no— for that would be murder. But you can bet that this school is permanently ad- journea!” And it was.

STEVENS--M. 8., Oakland, Cal. There is no published biographical sketch of the Stevens mentioned In the letter of in- quiry, consequently the information asked for canmot be furnished. As this s evidentiy a personal matter, why not address a letter of inquiry yourself to the party? POWER OF ATTORNEY-8 C. N, Healdsburg, Cal. A party who gives & power of attorney, If he desires to revoke the same, should have the date on which it was given. Such a power of attorney need nqt be recorded, but a cautious man will have the same recorded as a pre- ventive against possible contingencies. ALTITUDE—H. G., City. There are three principal methods for ascertaining altitudes. The first employs the leveling instruments, the second the theodolite and the third the barometer. The altitude of San Francisco, base line, is one foot ten inches above high tide. The base line of a city above tide level is its altitude. The altitude of California street hill nor that of Twin Peaks is the altitude of the city; the summit of each or other high peints has its special altitude, above sea level. COPYRIGHT-J. E.
