The purchase of 38,600 feet of land by Charles W. 
Steed, a wealthy resident of Bermuda, from Jacob C. 
Rogers, on Mystery island, means a further development 
of the summer colony there. A large addition to the 
Casino on the island and other improvements are sche- 
duled for next spring, to be ready for summer, said Mr. 
Rogers a few days ago. Mystery island has been slowly 
developed into its present state by Mr. Rogers, who has 
owned the island for the past 15 years. At first, people 
laughed at the idea of etsablishing any sort of a summer 
colony there, but of late years Mr. Rogers has made it a 
cosy place for people to reside. There are a dozen pri- 
vate cottages on the island, besides the Casino and out- 
buildings. A ferry operates between the island and West 
beach at Beverly Farms and so gives opportunity for 
quick and easy transportation to and from the island. 
The success of the island as a summer resort is mostly 
because of its exclusiveness, it being about a half-mile off 
shore. Mr. Rogers said that absolute plans for the en- 
larged Casino had not been made, but that Mr. Steed, 
the new owner, planned to make the place one of the 
most attractive on the North Shore.

Dr. and Mrs. Marshall Fabyan of the Beverly Farms 
colony and 379 Commonwealth ave., Boston, are receiving 
congratulations on the birth of a daughter on Dec. 17. 
It is sad, if not actually censurable, to pass blind- 
folded through the works of God, to live in a world of 
flowers, and stars, and sunsets, and a thousand glorious 
objects of Nature, and never to have a passing interest 
awakened by any one of them—Goulburn. 
When you feel like sighin’—sing! 
We are living each day in the sunshine we make. 
No situation, however wretched it seems, but has 
some sort of comfort attending it—Goldsmith. 
To know you know is power. 
How he tolerated freedom of speech in those who 
opposed his opinions !—Marcus Aurelius. 
Tt was only a glad good morning, 
As she passed along the way, 
But it spread the morning’s glory 
Over livelong day. 
Brevitivs 
The history that repeats itself 
(Thus saving useless labors) 
Is not one’s private history; that’s 
Jtepeated by one’s neighbors. 
—PHILADELPHIA PREss. 
Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest 
height.—Carlyle. 
Do not run after happiness, but seek to do good, and 
you will find that happiness will run after you. The 
world will seem a very good place and the world to come 
a better place still. 
It is wonderful how much time good people spend in 
fighting the devil. If they would only spend the same 
amount of time in loving their fellow men the devil would 
die in his own tracks from ennui.—Helen Keller. 
O, ye who have young children, if possible give them 
happy memories! Fill their earliest years with bright 
pictures.—James Lane Allen. 
I like the plain all-wool o’ common sense, 
That warms ye now, an’ will a twelve-month hence. 
—LowELL. 
To me every hour of the light and the dark is a 
miracle—Walt Whitman. 
That life is the highest which is a conscious volun- 
tary sacrifice—George Eliot. 
A laugh is just like sunshine, 
It freshens all the day, 
It tips the peak of life with light, 
And drives the clouds away. 
The soul grows glad that hear tt 
And feels its courage strong; 
A laugh is just like sunshine, 
For cheering folks along. 
The child’s greatest help in its education is found 
in the sympathy it receives at home.—Caroline Burrell. 
What a happy mortal am I for being unconcerned 
upon this occasion! For being neither crushed by the 
present, nor afraid of what is to come.—Marcus Aurelius. 
New effort gives new life, new thoughts, new love. 
Old things are passed away. Let us forgive them, forget 
them, as we enter upon the tasks and joys of life. 
Run if you like, but try to keep your breath; 
Work like a man, but don’t be worked to death.
