Worth Trying, Isn't It?
Cheer up, whatever you think may be going
;wrong! . Try a little Christian Science, a . wonderful
i thing, if you can really get it into your system.
The other day we met a tremendously fat man on
Ithe street. He seemed to be frying in B\veat and his
physical - torture was apparently' great. Did he say
f'lt is hotter than Tophet"? No. 'He turned his
thought to other things. He said: "It is very like
ly to be very cold next winter." His mental aspect
was cool and he had persuaded himself that he was
not suffering. ■ . *;: • •
■..;■: There's Tom Smith. Married, three months ago.
-y '.; Had a cow. £; Bought ;50 turkeys' eggs. ; Planted an
acre of corn, two acres of alfalfa for cow feed, and a
M half-acre 'of potatoes. ■ Bought 300 week-old chicks.
'if Total income, $1369. C But cow went dry. - Bugs ate
corn and potatoes. Cat sucked; turkey eggs, and 298
of the T chicks turned out to be roosters. Despair,
divorce, suicide in Tom's mind? No, sir. Says that
J alfalfa yields three crops per year and he's read an
article stating that the scientists' have discovered
how to make perfectly good bread from alfalfa meal
and he's going in heavy on alfalfa. Tightens his belt
up* one hole further, and goes ahead, does Tom.
'Mental poise. Spiritual exhiliration due to the
Christian Science policy of looking ahead with ex
pectation and never looking behind with depection.
Most of our troubles never happen, saith one phil
osopher. All of our troubles have happened, saith
•:affom.::,'T\->,:-. -
: v,l' So, cheer up I Take your positive, illustrated
trouble, such as an ulcerated tooth, to the dentist
and have it pulled. Pull the troubles you think you
have L yourself. You can do it, if you will. Practice
on it daily. Carry your calf troubles up a hill daily
and, by and by, you'll find, as did that ancient of
the story, that you can easily carry the calf grown to
an ox. •
WHY didn't those democrats name Bryan, then
we could have had the same contest over again with
the two 'Genes and the two Bills, for the prohibs
followed the republicans and socialists and named
their ticket of lour years ago again for this year.
That's the only way to tell whether a party is really
growing or not.
The Promised Land
Madero won the presidency of Mexico upon his
promise to cut up the big estates and give the com
mon people a chance at the land. The new revolu
•tion started because he did not immediately redeem
his promise. Now he is ready to aot. He has
worked out a scheme of land purchase through a
commission and a land bank, and nearly 4,000,000
acres have already been acquired for distribution
among the people.
Sounds good, doesn't itt But there is a fly in the
ointment. It is said that the price which the gov
ernment pays for the land is about five times its
true market value, and that somebody is going to
get millions of unearned profit at the expense of the
multitude of small buyers.
It is a long, long way to the Promised Land in
(Mexico, as elsewhere.
KERMIT ROOSEVELT is going to South Amer
ica to study steam railroading. What he saw of it
At Chicago gave him a hankering for it. Knowing
his father quite well, he probably thinks that any
thing that could run over dad that way must be
powerful strong.
The Curtain-Raiser
Aa a curtain-raiser to the great drama of the
future, Chicago and Baltimore were as fascinating
as any two-act play ever put on the boards. But
don't get your dates mixed, you who look for the
emergence of great days. This isn't 1860. It is not
more than 1§56, at best. By 1916 there may be some
thing more heroic doing. But first it is necessary to
shift scenery and weed out a lot of second-rate
actors.
The big play is coming. It will be a thriller.
Observations
BEY AN admits that he not only shook hands with
Boss Murphy but with Hearst. Thus Murphy and
Willie can now say they have the hand that shook
the hand of Bryan. And a couple of washes in for
maldehyde will restore W. J. to his pristine purity,
all right.
WHAT ails us? Even in the prohibition conven
tion at Atlantic City, Key. R. A. Elwood invited one
»t the steam-rolled to "come outside and settle it."

THE MAGIC
CLASP
BY BURTON BRALUV.
He didn't like babies a bit.
"Of charm they had never a
trace," y%:,
Although he was free to admit
They were needed to keep up
the race.
But why people thought they were
"cute"
Was what he could not under
stand,
And mothers all called him a
"brute," - .
Till a baby took hold of his
hand.
He thrilled at the warm little
clasp
With a feeling no words can
express
And his voice—which was harsh
as a rasp—
Grew soft as a maiden's caress.
And his eyes they were glowing
with light
As the face of his captor he
scanned
And his finger, clutched snugly
and tight,
When the baby took hold of his
hand.
Was there ever a mortal so vile
That his heart wouldn't start in
to sing.
That his lips wouldn't part in a
smile
At the soft little fingers that
cling?
All life has no tender touch
No 'lovelier thrill to command,
Than the firm little, strong little
clutch
When a baby takes hold of your
hand!

At midnight," so the papers say.
Is this a germ of conscience

No, 'tis done for beauty sleep.

It is doubtful, however, if the

Lomaland—America's $6,000,000
Home of Theosophical Study
Eight miles from Sam F?ego, on
a point of land extending into the
sea, lies Lomaland, the homestead
of the international headquarters
of Theoaophy. Here lives Mine.

ganization, and to her come pil

The homestead comprises near

along the crest of Point Loma, the
arm of land that encloses San
Diego.

According to Mme. Tingley, it

NEW YORK, July 13.—An en
tirely new variety of club has
been formed by a number of very
wealthy New Yorkers who have
to spend at least a part of their
time in the city during the sum
mer months, while their families
are visiting the seashore or the
mountains.
They call it the Summer club,
and have engaged as its head
quarters the fourteenth and fif
teenth floors of the Vanderbilt
botel. It is expected that as the
membership grows the sixteenth
and seventeenth floors will be
added. There will be rooms
enough so that each member can
have a suite to himself whenever

Under the New Jersey law a

a complete legal separation, the
