WHAT most directly and above every
thing else makes us happy is cheerful
ness of mind, for this excellent gift is its
own reward. A man may be young,
we'll favored, rich, honored, fortunate,
but if we would ascertain whether or no
he would be happy, we must first put the
question, Is he cheerful?

To change vague and aimless wishes
to strong and effectual desires is an i'm
portant part of all improvement. 1t is
the earnest and persevering effort to do
the present duty in the best possible
manner; to relax no power in its dis

ations over what might have been, that
is the secret of all good work and the ell
ement of all progress,

4 CORRESPONDENT of the NelC York
Press writing from Alabama makes the
point that the title of Breckinridge to
seat in the House of Representative is
not sufficiently clear to justify the House
in admitting him. Before the result of
the election in the Second Arkansas dis
trict was sufficiently well determined to
justify the issuing of certificate to either
contestant, Colonel Clayton, the Repub-
lican candidate, was assassinated. This
act of violence put stop to the contest,
and left Breckinridge free to go to Con-
gress for anything that would be done
further in his district in the way of in
vestigating his right to do so.

ONE of the main points in education
ought to be to form the habit of treating
everything as the possible subject of a
great number of questions, some OF
which at least must be asked and an
swered before the thing can be in any
true sense understood. Habit is every
thing; and, if the habit of asking ques-
tions arranged under certain categories
could once be formed, the victory of in
telligence over mental inertia would be
secured.

AN obtuse and stolid adherence to
things as they are should never be dig
niied by the name of loyalty. If no
one changed his ideas or methods, if no
one lifted his thoughts or his conduct
from a lower to higher plane, the
world would stand still and stagnation
would ensue.

WE cannot benefit ourselves without
benefting others also. If we are cheer
full, happy and well, we brighten and in
vigorate them; if we gain knowledge,
we communicate it; if we grow strong
and courageous, we afford protection
and infuse courage; if we are noble and
true, Others breathing our spiritual at
mosphere become also nobler and truer.
Whether we intend it or not, we are al
ways either helping or hurting others
by our unconscious influence.

To seem not to hear remarks which
are intended to annoy you is species
of negative insineerity which is in many
cases commendable. 1t disappoints and
battles the insulter and prevents profit
less war of words. Such dissimulation
may be the means of preventing breach
of the peace; and the "easier way is the
best" when the other way is not impera-
tive.

Is CONSUMPTION INCURABLE?

Read the following: c.. H. Morris, New
ark, says, "Was down with abscess of
lungs, and friends and physicians pro-
nounced me an incurable consumptive;
began taking Dr. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption; am now on my third
bottle, and able to oversee the work ON
my farm. 1t is the finest medicine ever
made" Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio,
says: Had it not been for Dr. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption would have
died of lung trouble; was given up by
doctors; am now in best of health" Try

THE test of true loyalty which each
one may put to himself is, "Am faith
full to truth, to right, to duty, to love?
Am constant to the best methods | can
find-to the ideas can form?" To
do this much must sometimes be resign
ed, Just as in the ascent of q mountain
many pleasant resting places must be
left behind. He who is thus loyal to
his best conceptions will never be dis
loyal to his nation or his party or his
friend.

SUNSET COX, NC.

Samuel Sullivan Cox, who earned
his sobrequet ''Sunset" from a glow
ing and most beautifully elaborate
description of a Sunset, which he
wrote while editor of the Column
bus, Ohio, Statesman, was a nat
i've of Ohio. Born at GAINESVILLE, o.,
September 3Oth, 1924, graduated at
Browns college in 1916, working his
way through college withhis pen.
Completed his preliminary law studies
and obtained his diploma, and then
umbus, Ohio. Was secretary of lega-
ton in Peru one year, and entered
congress i'll 1854, serving two terms.
He was staunch supporter Of the
National government during the war,
and the year after its close removed
to New York. In the year 1868 was
again in congress from his adopted
state and has been in congress al
most continuously for the past 20 years.
He was an author of marked ability,
statesman of broad and generous
views, humane in all things and the
first political humorist of this gene
ration. His productions, among which
are 1.-THE Buckeye Abroad" 'Puri-
tanism in Politics." "a search for
Winter Sun beams," "Arctic Sun
beamsn, "Orient Sun beams" Eight
years in Congress- and Three De-
cades of Federal Legislation--show the
quality of his mind, the impulses ofhis
nature and the kindly feelings of his
heart. He will be missed as perhaps
no other man in congress will.

FROM JOHN BULLS LAND.
What Uncle Jesse saw in ST.
Paul'S Cathedral.


A personal letter to the editor of the
LIGHT from J. NJ. Emerson, Jr., late
of this city. now of New York, better
known as "Uncle JESSE contains
something concerning st. Paul's ca
thedral, London, which will be of in
terest. After narratlng pathetic in
cident at the postoffice, Uncle Jesse
paid two cents for an omnibus fare to
st. Paul's and says:
Il Ell tered the grand structure with
a feeling of awe, and wandered from
place to place with full realization
that was looking at the graves of
England's honored dead. / noticed
that nearly all the distinguished gen.
tlemen had figured in some success
full military or naval conflict
with England's toes or had
in some unselfish way contrib
uted to England's welfare. Finally L
began to wonder if it was against the
rule to inter the body of a person who
had died in an unsuccessful endeavor
to plant the English standard upon
the enemy's works. So L looked for
some time among the inscriptions for
the results of the war of 1872. had
nearly finished my examination when
l saw a group of statuary in distant
corner. | went nearer and read as
follows: Erected at the public ex-
pense to the memory of Maj. Gen.
ThOrne, and Sir Edward Packenham,
G.. B., and of Mai. Gen. Samuel Gibbs,
who fell gloriously Oh the Sth of jan
uary 1915, while leading the troops to
an attack OF the enemy's works in
front of New Orleans" The figures
were life size, one leaning on and the
Others holding a sword. L then pur.
chased ticket and commenced long
ascent towards the top Of the dome.
The gentleman in the ticket office
informed me that | could only
60 one flight above the whisper
ing gallery. I learned later that
the restriction was in force on &C
count of dynamiters, who had at
tempted to blow up the building. AS
I assembled l heard voices above, a
party was descending and counting
the steps as they came. l thought
them quite near by the sound, but as
'2O0'and asI was ascending all the time
there must have been 400 steps be-
tween us. At last / reach what is
called the whispering gallery and
was directed by the old man In
charge to go around to the other side
of the gallery. L did so. He then
placed his face near the wall and
whispered and / could hear every
word he breathed as plainly as if i
had been within foot of him.

Stanlev,s Triumphal March.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 1.-THE Mouve-
ment Geographique states that Hen
ry NJ. Stanley is marching toward
Mombass, after fighting his way
through the hostile country of the
Umiero and Ucando tribes, and is con-
quering the natives. He has, the
paper says, established the authority
of the British East Africa company
over the country from the upper Nile
to the east coast. The paper declares
it is dou btful if Emin Pasha, to whose
relief the Stanley expedition was or
ignally sent, is accompanying STAN
lev to the coast.

Storm Abating a Little.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE win d
has subsidized somewhat but the skies
are still black and a Slight rain is
falling. The only transatlantic
steamer which has arrived up to II
o'clock this morning, was the Cali
fornia. The City of New York and the
Teutonic were both due yesterday,
but have not yet been sighted. Other
steamers due today are the Wis
consin, State of Georgia, and
Harmonic. Passengers on all
these steamers will undoubtedly
have interesting tales to tell, as they
must have encountered the fiercest
gale. Reports from along the Jersey
shore show wrecks everywhere,
there being sixteen between Barne-
gat light and Sandy Hook. All tele-
graphic communication by wire with
the island is cut off. The water
along the eastern North river is not
so high this morning, as it was flood
| tide yesterday.
The vessels at anchor along South
street piers have the appearance OF
having passed through a veritable
cyclone. The rigging of many of them
is torn into shreds and spars
and masts dismantled, while the
waves beat with great fury against
the vessels sides, even as they lay at
their piers. = egraph wires between
here and 3 indy Hook are down.
There is consequently the greatest
uneasiness felt by members of the
maritime exchange for the safety
of vessels in the off1ng. In a round
about way it was learned that only
two vessels had come up to quaran-
tine last night. They were the new
Morgan line steamer Elmar, from New
Orleans and the Hamburg steamship
California. Elmar was detained
twelve hours outside of bar by rough
weather.

A Change Needed.

Members of fire company No. , de-
sire to state that the reason they did
not get to the fire OH Government

two engine horses were being used at
the time by the city in hauling fire.
wood to the school buildings and
when the fire alarm sounded were at
the Sixth ward school, which is near
Government Hill and great distance
from the engine house. The horses
were at once taken out of the wagon
and ridden bareback, at top speed to
the engine house, but it was too late
on their arrival to 60 to the fire. Fire
men should not be expected to attend
fires when they cannot take their en-
gines or have the use of the horses.
