They tell Q new story over in Peoria about Bob
1ngersOll, which runs in this wise: During hi:
campaigning tour down East the Colonel one
Sunday went TO fashionable church. With
Characteristic Western Independence he ignored
the officious and remonstrative usher, and select
ing the finest pew he could fnd, ensconced him
self in the softest corner. Soon the great mar
who owned the pew came along with his family
and sat down. But such impudence could not be
permitted to pass by unrebuked, and the proprie
tor Of the box wrote on a fy-leaf Of q hymn book
1t to the Colonel. Quick as thought the ready
pencil came out, the book was returned with an
additional line, and the indignant owner read the
comment: "D-d fine pew for the price," The
dToppings of the sanctuary fell On one in sulted
and burning heart that morning, but 1t did not
beat under 1ngersolls vest.

II you want to succeed in the world you must
make your own opportunities as you go on. The
man who waits for some seventh wave to toss
him on dry land will find that the seventh wave
is q long time coming. You can commit nc
greater Jolly than to sit by the roadside until
some one comes along and invites you to ride
with him to wealth or influence. You will prob
ably spend your gray-haired days in singing
these nonsense lines:
In this world I might have risen
To be something truly great,
Had not been slyly hindered
By the puissant law Of fate.
