If every honest Democrat East and

press upon his friends the following

ones who are thoroughly contented

watery, the meats dry, or the soup
thin and they don't care pin wheth-
er people talk to them or not, They
live in a little world of their own,
need no conversation but their own,
and have no thought but fer each
other They all try to act as though
being married was an old story to
them, and still for the life of them
they can't help taking each others
hands every five minutes. The brides
nearly all wear new watch chains.

lies u lovely lake called Dial. Floating
about on its surface, sometimes carried
by the winds from one end of the lake
to the other, are numerous small is
lands, on which grow the fairest Gu
Gamblers and the most luscious melons
known. The way in which these
floating gardens are made is very cur
ious. All about the main shores Of the
lake grow quantities of reeds, sedges
and water-liIes. When these grow
very thickly together, people cut them
from the roots which hold them near
the shore. The leaves Of the plants are
then spread out over the stems, max
ing a sort of trestlework to support
the soil with which it is next to be
covered After this has been done
the seeds are planted and the floating
garden is left to care for itself until
the fruits are ready for picking

The Lesson of WagneT's Tri-
Umph.


Umph.
We began this article to call atten-
lesson, or the lesson of life, conveyed
by this great triumph! The power
that rules the world is the power Of
ideas. Amy man with genius enough
to conceive vital and germinal idea,
and vitality enough to push it, is a
master, sure of his triumph. He has
that within him which gives u crown
ing significance to his life. To possess
q great idea is to have mission. 1t is
to know what to do. 1t is to have a
path and goal. 1t is to have peren-
NAL fountain of inspiration. 1t is to
see always before one, not with the
eye Of faith, but with an open vision,
cOnsumate triumph. The man who
said he would rather be right than
President, chose simply to be more
powerful than President. Offices, po-
sitiOns, names-these are but shows.
The men who have ideas are the mas
ters of them all, and masters of their
kind. The politician snGers at the
ideslist as long as he can, and then
he turns and worships him, The con-
Ventionalist in art SCOTS the innOva-
tor until the innOvatOr's idea is en-
bodied i'm some overwhelming form,
and then he throws up his hat for him
with the shouting multitude. Blessed
are the men who have ideas. They
are the movers Of the world.-Dr. j.
Il, Holland -; ScriJHCr for NOUcmbcr.
