MISSING THE BEST THINGS

There is a peculiar kind of meanesa which grips some peopleand makes them unable to take pleasure in anything unless they haveit all their owu or at most share it with a very few people Theycall themselves exclusive and as a matter of fact they excludemost of the real pleasure and happiness of life

A wealthy woman In Ireland was sick once just like commrnpeople and the nurse brought her a poached egg for her breakfastShe ate it with pleasure as any of us would and KB she sank backinto her soft bed remaked lJow delicious an egg isl What a pitythey are so cheap that every body can have them Isnt that anice way to look at itl Wanted tho pleasure of eating eggs all to

herselfItis so wi ii many things Such people want fruit out of sea

son when it coats horribly they want furniture built differentlyfrom other peoples and books that other people cant understandThese people dont understand them either but think it makes themtheydontand all because they feel that it would be common and cheap tolike what every healthy man or woman likes

Providence was very kind to liming matters so that that kind ofpeople are always cheating themselves The commonest things arc thebest anywhere there is no drink BO good as cold water and thenext best is good milk Coffee the third cheapest comes third inoxclleuce It is so with foods eggs and cornbread and good porktaste as well in a cabin as any fancy dish ever did in a high pricedresturant or a kings palace and tho potato baked in the ashes bet ¬ter than any other The fresh airof a cool morning ill more satisfyingto both soul and body than any stuffy ball room or palatial parlorcan bo andno Ulan is rich enough to hung on his walls such a pictureas the Almighty flings across the Heavens twice daily or as can beseen from the front door of any cabin home in all our mountainsNo sculptor ever made for his ii6b patrons a statue which had thebeauty every boyish lover sees in the figure of some blushing girlNo costly damaskcovered bed can bring so sweet a slumber as comesto the honestly weary worker on his humble couch > and no caterercan give to food the wonderful taste which the sauce of appetite usesto enrich tho meal of tho laborer And finally no bloodstainedwealth can purchase such freedom its comes to every barefooted bare-headed boy a fishing along the creek nor the peaceful rest whichgreets at night tha man however poor who has that day workedwellfor his home and family

Riches Wealth Luxury What are they indeed that they shouldbe purchased at tho cost of such joys ns these f And many are therich men who would give their wealth riches and luxury for thepower to enjoy the simple high delights with which every goodhomo is blest So sometimes the mountain fare is a little plainand tho mountain bed a little hard we can well afford to rememberthat within tile humble home is moro happiness that can be foundunder the broad and magnificent roof of any millionaires palace

BEREA OF TODAY

An Old Graduates Impressions asHe Returns After Years Doing aDoctor He Thinks the Hospital theGreatest Improvement How Oth-ers See Us

To come back to Berea utter tenyears absence Is like coming to atown made over so thoroughly thatIt is hardly recognizable

The long lines of cement walks re¬

placing tho old clay paths and cinderwalks and the well painted and re¬

paired houses of good modern styleIn place of the shacks that were coprevalent In the old days are a pleas ¬

ant sight to ouo who remembersBerea with an affection learned duringyearn of the happiest period of hislife spent hero and who acquired thebest little woman In the world forhis wife as a gift from the dear oldtown To see the campus filling upwith fine largo buildings of beautifuldesign and good materials was another thing to fill him with gladness

A larao corps of well trained devot ¬j

vited me with true Kentucky warmthslid courtesy to see and assist Insuch cases as they thought I would heinterested in-

Wandering down to the hospital Ifound Dr Cowley from whom I receded the same courteous treatment thoother physicians had accorded mo 1

j

spent many profitable hours withhim looking over the students whocome there principally for eye earnose and throat troubles In whichdiseases ho has specialized-

I was glad to observe a good feelIng prevailing among the physiciansof the placo for sad to say that Is notalways true among doctors in small j

places especially All of them areiworking hero for the greatest goodof all the people-

I feel like congratulating the peopleof this vicinity on the excellent hos ¬

pital the college has so generouslythrownopen to the students and gen¬

eral public All doctors are made tofeel welcome In bringing their patientsthere the prlco charged being onlynominal to the students and to all lessthan half the phrlco charged In largehospitals where one does not receivethe personal care that one does In ahospital of this size

Tho nurses are kind and good thehead nurse Miss Click a girl of thisneighborhood who has received anexcellent training Is very skillful andis now devoting her life to traininggirls in her noble

takingsicktook her to the hospital as soon 03 adiagnosis of typhoid was made Mydally vlslto gave me a good opportun ¬

ity to see the kind and skillful wayin which the hospital staff of nursescarried out their duties

During my stay several Importantbyttheall of them successful In preserving
