Five Gents

From these stand out in strong relief the
independent thinker. He is not so pleasant
to meet as that smooth polished grain OF
sand. the man of ordinary acquaintance. 1t
is more disagreeable to hit the sharp corner
of cube. than the smooth surface of
sphere. Yet though the corner hurts us do
we prefer the sphere? Every circle is like
every other and as monOtonOus. The
original thinker is as multiform as the poly
gOn. and as individual. This one differs
from that as triangle from a square. but
each one has his angles. Never does he
suffer to be smOOthed into the conventional
curve.
The self reliant man is necessarily isolated
and alone. and it is this very isolation which
keeps him what he is, separating him from
the RIB and grind of the common sand. pre-
serving his originality. AS he journeys
higher and higher into lofty sphere OF his
own. each step gives him brOarder horizon
of truth. but each step leaves him more and
more alone, loneliness often strongly felt.
The men of independent thought carries
great weight, we look up to him. reverence
him, and. highest tribute of all. we initiate
him. 10 slightly change the French saying
Limitation is the homage which the weak
render to the StrOng.'
1t has ever become conventional to pose
as original and independent; we have our
modern soOthsayer Virgins and the apostle
of the sun-flOwer. Oscar Wilde, and thou
sands like them posing for effect Their
originality is put on like mask and depends
upon. instead of being independent OF. the
support of the people. This is the real diff
ference between false and true originality.
1t is easy to separate from these weak
ones the truly original, the truly indepen-
dent. and in their line we behold Columbus,
Galleo. Harvey and Dauvin. and in the
present generation. the reformer Gladstone
and the great Russian writer TOlStOi.
The original thinker is always ahead or
his age; if but little ahead some times the
world may catch up to him before he dies
and he may taste the glory which sooner or
later the world must and does give to orig
inal thought; if far ahead he is scOtfed and
hSSed at during lifetime. and years and
centurys may pass before mems clOuded
vision become clear enough to see the glory
of his originality. st. Paul High School

The Earth to Die From Age.

The aye of the earth is placed by some at
five hundred million years. and still others
of late time. among them the Duke of Ar
gyle, place it at ten million years, knowing
what processes it has gone through. Other
planets go through the same process. The
reason that other planets differ so much
from the earth is that they are in much
earlier or later stage Of existence. The
earth must become old. Newton surmised.
although he could give no reason for it. that
the earth would at one time lose all its wa
ter and become dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct. AS the
earth keeps cooling it will become porous.
and cavities will be formed in the interior,
which will take in the water. 1t is estmat-
ed that this process is now in progress SO
far that the water diminishes at the rate of
about the thickness of sheet of writing
paper each year. At this rate. in six mill
ion years the water will have sunk mile,
and in fifteen million years the water will
have disappeared from the face of the globe.
The nitrogen and the oxygen in the atmos-
phere are diminishing all the time. 1t is
in an inappreciabe degree. but the time
will come when the air will be so thin that
no creature we know can breathe and live;
the time will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the period of old
age, and then will come death. Paper.

Men who live in the world and form So
ciety. like the sands on the sea shore, from
constant rubbing and grinding against each
other. lose all individual form. every per-
sOnal angle is smoothed away and one grain
differs in no way from another. Every
original thought is crushed and they dare
not but conform in every way to the worlds
conceived opinion.

| have thus stated to the best of my abil-
ity my own feelings, experiences and silent
observations. of the cause and effect.
Now for the remedy. The contract sys-
TEN expires soon, and the state must find
means to employ the convictS. Labor Or
ganiZatlOns have fought convict labor.
Why? Because the state sacrifices the
labor of the cOnvctS to the contractors, and
thus enabling them to sell the goods of
their manufacture for less money than
others could, and pay their Iaborers honest,
fair wages. Now, if tine convict was paid
fair. honest wages. then the cost in the pro.
duction from his labor would equal that of
freemen; then labor organizations would
not complain. The state could engage in
the manufacture of anything it chose. so
long as it remained an honorable cOmpet-
itor. The fact of fair-paid labor compelling
the state to quit business, because it worked
too cheap. does not look right. when the
fact is placed alongside of the figures of the
shortage OF covering expenses of this inSti-
tuition. as published in its last quarterly re-
port. When the labor or four hundred
men fails to support them. there is some
thing that needs correction. A free insti-
tuition could employ these men. and pay
them wages that would enable each man to
support family of six persons, and still
the business would make money. Why
can't the state do this, instead of paying us
nothing. and after feeding us on the plain
est Of food. clothing us cOarsely. and still
have shortage of SS. 600 in three months of
covering expenses of our keeping. If wise
lawmakers and good business men could
not remedy this. then it would be useie SIS
for the convict to plead for pay for his
labor. The taxpayers would not stand
the expense. and we don't ask them to-
Let the state go into business. supply us
with material, and pay us by the piece for all
the work we do. Let the pay be the same
as free labor is paid for the same work: de-
duct at the end of each month or quarter,
the expenses of OverseerS, food. clothing,
etc.. and when the expenses per capita is
found. if some drOne has not earned more
than his expense averages, it is his loss.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Choose thou. o youth, thy path in lite;
Let not events decide;
Be not in Lies momentOus strife
Like weeds upon a tide.
Determined what thy aim shall be.
ToI W tn that aim in view:
If circumstances hinder thee.
Max. circumstances new.
Be not the iron that IS bent
And beaten as it glows,
But be- thr, ugh full and iixed intent,
The arm that gives the blows.
Remember this: We can attain
What fully we intend;
We for ourselves ourselves ordain
Life's destiny and el.d
They win in life who will to win,
They fail who faint and fear:
To him with dauntless heart within
No obstacles appear.
There is no mount too II gh to scale,
No stream too wide to span,
For him whu wills he will not tail,
Who WILL and therefore CAN.
SO choose, youth, thy path in fe,
With firm resolve decide;
Bring all thy powers into tie strife,
Success shall thee betide'
