The Critical Habit.
Do not drift into the critical
habit. Have an opinion, and a
sensible one, about everything,
but when you come to judge peo-
ple remember that you see very
little of what they really are, un-
less you winter and summer with
them. Find the kindly, lovable
nature of a man who knows little
of books. Look for the beautiful
self-sacrifice made daily by some
woman, who knows nothing about
pictures, and teach yourself day
in and day out to look for the
best in everythin. It is the.
every-day joys and sorrows that
go to make up life. It is not the one
great sorrow nor the one intense
joy, it is the accumulation of the
little ones that constitutes living;

AND YOU WANT THE BEST
don’t be critical of little faults
and do be quick to find the little
virtues and to praise them. So
much that is good in people dies
for want of encouragement. As
I said before, have an opinion,
and a well thought out one,about
everthing that comes into your
life but do not have too many
opinions about people. Their
.hearts are not open books,and as
you must be judged yourself some
day, give them the kindest judg-
ment now.—Selected.

Who can tell the value of a
smile? It costs the giver noth-
ing, but is beyond price to the
erring and relenting, the sad
and cheerless, the lost and for-
saken. It disarms malice, sub-
dues temper, turns hatred to love,
revenge to kindness and paves
the darkest paths with gems of
sunlight. A smile on the brow
betrays a kind heart, a pleasant
friend, an affectionate brother,
a dutiful son. It adds a charm
to beauty, it decorates the face
of the deformed, and makes a
lovely woman resemble an angel
in paradise.—Ex.
An Odd Millionaire.
Here is an interesting dispatch
from Chicago printed in the New
York World: “The spectacle of
a millionaire telling his hearers
that he made his millions hy mh-
bing the people, that all monopo-
lists do, but that he had begun to
recover his conscience and was
going to devote his wealth to
fighting the system which made
it possible, was the unique enter-
tainment provided by the City
club at its luncheon today. The
speaker was Joseph Fels of Phil-
adelphia, head of a naptha soap
company bearing his name. He
said he was a disciple of Henry
George and would always remain
a‘single taxer.’ ‘We can’t get
rich in a lifetime nowadays,’ Mr.
Fels said, ‘under the present sys-
tem of things.unless we do so by
robbing the people. I have made
my money that way, and my firm
is still doing it. You are all do-
ing it. Every one of your self-
made millionaires have done it.
However, I want to say I have
begun to recover my conscience,
and I am going to devote my
'swag’—I like to call it that, for
that’s what it is—to doing away
with the cursed system which
makes it possible. If any of you
millionaires fee) the same way
about it,for God’s sake let’s cross
hands on it. I may be an oddity.
It is unusual, though, for a man
who has made his money by rob-
bing the people through a monop-
oly to be called a curiosity. It is
also a curiosity to find a man, af-
ter nearly fifty years monopoly-
mongering, to admit it and un-
dergo a change of heart. But I
lam sincere.’—-—--
