"Manner. Maketh the Man.o

1t is false! Manners make the success in
mans life to great extent; but try to
think of all the people, you have ever

most unapproachable, il-mannered and
surly people are the best friends when you
really come to know them. Elusive man
ners, extreme politeness. blind the. great
mass Of people. for the great mass take
things as they SEEM and these hammered
people go there way as good fellows in
society-on parade-but when among those
who really know them, are avoided and dis
trusted.
1t is only the experienced readers OF hn-
man nature, or the rare few. who seem to
take in character at a glance. that are not
often deceived by this superficial good
character. You know A. don't you? Why
certainly you do! Every new acquaintance

Sunday Services.

Mr. Alberts serm on was one of the best that he
has ever delivered in the Chapel and one that
no one could listen to without being encouraged
to strive against adverse circumstances and to
conquer them. The text was Luke v. 5: And
Simon answering, said unto him, Master. we have
toiled all the night and have taken nothing, new
ertheless. ut thy word will let down the net
These fishermen had been fishing all night and
had taken nothing, and when the morning was
come they Lnew it useless to labor any longer:
yet at the command of Jesus, Peter lowered the
net and the m raculous draught of fishes was the
result. Peter utterly discouraged but he
obeyed the command and let down the net. Pc
ter's triumph was not in the number of fishes that
he caught, but in obeyng the voice OF Jesus and
in doing something. We were told that no mat
ter how different. apparently, our lives may be.
yet the heart-te of all is very similar. This was
happily illustrated by referring to half dozen
dandelions little girl plucked one, a laborer cut
mother down, carriage crushed another and
thus the flowers all Led d.ssimilar deaths yet if
they had had Consciousness, their heart feelings
would have been about the same, each one died.
So with our lives. we all have disappointments
and get discouraged. We cannot take up paper
without reading notices of suicides with various
reasons assigned therefor; but if we could go be-
hind all the causes wesowould fnd-disappoInt-
meilt;s land ON the tomb f each might, have been

The heavy rain of last Thursday wrought con-
siderable damage, to the new. wall and delayed
building operations for two days. The damage was
caused by the failure of the old wall to hold back
the great volume of water that flowed down from
the bluffs. The water rushed through and under
the old wall and settled into the loose earth be-
great as to force the massive pie of masonry
nearly a f, OF out of line. This wall is ten feet
thick at the foundation and it seems incredible
that it could be moved by the pressure Of bulk
of mud and water but little greater than itself.
The yard in that vicinity was converted into sea

POOR PEOPLES CHANCES.

Some years ago city missionary
was crossing one of the parks in New
York on the Sabbath day and said to
lad, "What are you doing here,
breaking the Lords day? You ought
to be at Church and worshipping
God instead Of breaking the Sabbath
in this way" The poor lad in his
rags looked up at the city missionary
and said: "Oh, sir, it's very easy for
you to talk that way, but God knows
that we poor chaps amt got no
chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing
that in the United States the time has
arrived when "the poor chaps don't
have no chance"
There 10 some truth in il. The poor
are not shut out from making liveli.
hood, but the gulf between riches and
poverty continually grows more diff
cult to cross. AZ the country becomes

petition decreases the chances for
accommodating wealth by ordinary busi-
ness methods.
But the same conditions vastly i'm.
prove the chances for great success
to those who can strike out in new
paths, can furnish something to the
world that others cannot.
True merit, in commodity or ability,
will win easily and with grand results
in this country, if the masses can be
induced TO recognize it. This recogni-
ton can only be accomplished by
what are sometimes sneeringly al
luded to as advertising methods.

mankind is growing wiser and
weaker" But is it really so? Let
us glance at the facts. According to

discoveries in medical science which
afford him immunity from diseases

AFAMOUS BATTLE-GROUND.

On the banks of the Tippecanoe, a
small stream which enters the Wa
hash River in Indiana, was fought the
terrific battle OF Tippecanoe.
In this great struggle of frontier
times, the allied western Indians I'M
der the chi"ftainship OF Elsk watawa,
the Prophet" were defeated in No
vember, 1911, by the Americans I'M
der the command of Gen. VIM. II.
Harrison.
1t was desperate, hard-fought
battle, and much depended upon the
result.
Had the Indians been successful
all barriers of defence for the early
settlers W uld have been overthrown
and the eadly tomahawk would have
been active in the rapid extermina-
ton of the remaining pioneers. On
the other hand the fortunate termin-
alton of the contest put an end to fur
ther attempts at open warfare by the
Indians. The rich territory, so long
overrun by hostile savagcs, was
thrown open for settlement, which
rapidly occurred a. soon as the news
Of the great victory becaL. wide
spread.
Naturally great praise was rendered
to the success and intrepid bravery
of Gen. Harrison and he was honored
in many ways. He afterwards served
as Commander OF the Army OF the
Northwest, and when Indiana was adj
mitted TO Statehood, he was selected
to represent the State in the Uniled
States Senate. In lS4J he was elected
President and his unfortunate demise
occurred shortly after being inaugu-
rated.
The forty-second anniversary OF the
Battle of Tippecanoe found the gal
Iant grandson OF "Old Tip" leading

which resulted in the selection of Gen.
