young folks the wiuiws heart one bitterly cold november day a colonel in the union volunteer army gave a hastily considered order to ditch a stream that was hooding camp the cfficer of tne day ex ecuted the order bat the men grumbled all the forenoon the colonel himself came oat later in the day to look at tha work it was indeed a freezing job the men stood op to their waists in the icy water much of the time yet it seemed steeasary to torn the stream or the whole brigade would be deluged how is it my boy he shouted to a big frank childfaced young fellow that you dont fret and growl with the other men 1 well colonel i dont know but my mother god bless her 1 used to teach me that a willing heart makes a light task years have passed since that day the raw vermont boy is now the successor of the colonel in the presidency of one of the largest manufacturing establishments in new england and it all came from that quaint ready reply in the virginia ditches the sa dainty a creature that she cannot fall to please the most fastidious little lady in the land the model is about eight inches tall handsomely dressed in modern style and is really quite a work of art and would

strips of huiks are wound closely and pinned to the body for arms after having wound a few extra strips across the shoulder to make the requisite breadth a bit of cotton is laid over the end of the cob for the head shaping it as well as possible this is covered with a very smooth piece of husk and the eyes nose and mouth marked with a pen or pencil and a little bit of carmine is put on the

office made him in time his partner he says i may tell this story he tells mo the secret of his hardworking lifes health and success with men is all in that line a willing heart makes a light task how is it young men are you willicg to bo useful or is it simply to get ths wages the most valuable man is not tho ablest man but he who does his work with a cheerful spirit we like to have such a fellow around us he wears a smile he is hopeful that a thing can be done send jim b cried the head of a firm whose members were consulting who mould be dispatched to austria to introduce an improvement on thor patent jim is one of thoso fellows who isnt afraid tc take a bit of extra trouble to make a thing go yes responded the secretary of tho corporation jim is ono of your willing chaps send him to europe what he diesnt know yet hes willing to learn the upshot of that is that a boy not yet twentythree years old the son of a plain honest farmer is off for ilx months in the land of the ferdinands and will return with that polish on him whioh travel alone can give wages going on expenses all paid and a big prospect ahead in tho house yon can hardly do anything for the un willing man he will not let yon help him for he will not let yon use him ho repels yon if he works he does ft ungraciously he has no interest in the job ycu dare not ask him to lift a hammer after the whistle blowb for shutting down not even ucne place was in peril of fire or flood no yon either go and do the extra thing your self or you bethink you of some employee who is always willing to lend a hand and send for him and a cheery helper becomes dear to you yon do not forgot this favor it seems so strange that we do not all of us realize this more for every ono is in some ones employ and has sooner or later the chance to show the willing heart as a giant elm hits np a woodbine willing strong and neighborly among trees so can the vino return the favor in many ways it can pre vent cormorants from ascanding and gnow- ing out tho giants willing heart it can pro tect from borers by the shade it spreads round tho trunk where tho big fellow has no leaveb of his own it can offer its own leaves to the first batoh of tho omnivorous inbeot lite that often strips an unwilling elm and the leaves of the woodbine poiaon the insects so that they desist the willing man i repeat is approach able he lays himself open to kindness he exposes himself to a good turn he is open to a favor in return the world is not all ungrateful and somebody remembers the snn may be clonded muoh of the time with many of us but ho who stands in the open field of goodwill is snre to get all the sun- shino that is falling if there fs any cheery jolly whole souled good nature among men the willing fellow gets it no doubt the willing heart is often impos ed upon yet so are we all who is so shrewd that no one gets che advantage of him and besides do we not all and each sometimes impose upon others the willing heart has this batisfaotion that he does not deserve tho ingratos kick nor tho mean mans contemptible tricks ho smiles and whibtles his song as he goes on his way jait as willing to do the nexa man a favor his sun is still bhinlng he knows that it is the gouge who is the moan fellow not himself and he knows too that imposition on a generous heart always has its remorse and its punishment he spends no lime in kick ing himself but yonr oloao and hard heart is as mad as a bear when in spite of all his shrewdness of selfprotcotion he has boon imposed npon he does nob get over it for days ho reminds mo of a snake on which i put a shuflb hoe last week and the crea ture writhed twisted and tnrning oven stung itself back of the blado that pinned him down no to savo onos life is to lose it to lono it is to find it a willing heart is protected by tho goodness of all decent paoplo in a community if a kindhearted neighbor is abused the vicinity ories out shame 1 consoienoo and all good angels are on his
