I wonder If the: you had an experience like!; isterdav afternoon. I went fori' a short walk about two o'clock and a' few moments after 1 started it began to rain. Now maybe It felt like rain- i ing up high In the sky but down below i on the pavements it was more In the if humor for freezing, and I had walked i but a short distance until I felt much i gj 'like the frog In the well who climbed ] 1 up one step and fell back two steps. I ? ".What's wrong with my feel?" I mon- i ||. t In I m Be v . ally inquired. "They don't geem to be-working as they should; instetd of I saining ground, they are slipping i jack ward," I continued ruminating to 1 myself. It didn't take long to discover that as fast as that fine misty rain fell, it froze on the sidewalks, covering the smooth cement with ? thin glaze of i ice?so thin that it was entirely In- i visible yet strong enough to make folks slip about uncomfortably, preventing much progress. Last night i real honest-to-goodness snow covered the housetops and streets. Some of it still remains today. The Best of Luck. A certain young lady had it queer experience last week when she lost a pair of eye-glasses costing fifteen dollars and found them again In a most miraculous manner. She went ' nhnnt without thprn for a day or so very much annoyed at their disappear- j ance, mentally coming to the sorrow ful conclusion that another fifteen dottirs tn this day of high prices would have to be forth coming, when she chanced to meet an acquaintance of hers on the street who had also lost a valued possession. The two discovered Instantly they had something In common to bewail. The acquaintance began: "You haven't come across a good silk umbrella with a white rlnghandle anywhere, have you? I've lost a ten dollar one and I'm simply heart-sick. I suppose I ought not to complain since I Just picked up somebody's glasses which must have cost a pretty penny! If you should 1 happen " But right here the first young lady broke In. "Thoso glasses belong to me I know," she exclaimed. "I lost nine two days ago and I'veiwor- i rled ever since. If this isn't the best ( luck!" i Sure enough the glasses turned out I to be the ones which were missing, and 1 though the lady who lost the umbrel- < la hasn't found It as yet, she says she's 1 glad she saved fifteen dollars for a i friend. 1 We'll Find Something to Recomperhw.. c Soon will begin the oold winter sea- < son which in Fairmont is looked for- 1 ward to with a bit of dread by many j folks. There is something truly dis- t heartening abont very cold, blustery, t raw weather of the sort which Nature f bands out to us during December, Jan-1' nary and February chilling us through; i and through.

Then it s we get such happiness out of bulldng air castles from golden flames, [ here is nothing In God's world so wonderful as a coal fire. Thanksgiving day is almost here. There won't be any flowers in the backyard for a centerpiece. But the Lord has made the crysanthemura (or lust this time and He made it of such jlze that one of the gorgeous flowers Is quite sufficient We must have coljr in the winter time. Don't dream of ihe Illy and the rose Just now but contider the erysanthemum how It grows. It comes in pink, white, yellow, bronze, :hestnut and wine shades, harmonizing with the eiqlslte autumn colors.

You can be Just as lappy during the next few months, sven though shut away from all these, f you will recognize your spiritual leeds and go after the things you must tave. It's the height of foolishness to 'get along" with whatever is handed rat to you In life. Go after what you :rave. God doesn't object. Don't raddle over a poor little gas blazo but. set out and find a ton of coal right tow.
