Hall he considered the bill too high for services rendered. Attorney Hall said he was willing to resign if council thought his bill too high.

Those who seek happiness never And it--a truism that has been going the rounds since philosophers began getting their words into print or upon graven tablets, observes the Dayton News. But it is well to repeat it occasionally. to keep it ever before the masses of humanity, that it may become so much a part of our creed and faith that the youngest among us and the oldest may realize the full meaning of the expression. There is no greater unhappiness than that of pursuing happiness, for happiness is never overtaken by those who pursue it.

Happiness comes to him who is not thinking of it; to him who is doing something for others. with never a thought of his own happiness. No man has ever yet followed a course of conduct with his own happiness in view and achieved his. purpose. Service to others--that is all there is to life that savors of happiness.

The service need not be great; it is given to few persons to be of great service. And those who are of great service do not realize it-they do not start out with that in view. To be kind and courteous and considerate of the comfort of others--that is the service which brings happiness. The man who helps a crippled old woman upon the street car is happier for doing so. The fellow who stops to wipe away the tear from the eyes of a child who bruised its hand: the wornan who visits a sick neighbor to see if she can be of any use; the man who puts another in position to help himself--these little services are quite great in the realm of things that go to make for happiness.

And they are possible with all of us. J. D. DELAHUNTY, Grocer On Sale 7 to 10 P. M.
