genie of most unmanageable proportions
and most unamiable disposition, and tho
appearance of the unwelcome visitor is
direct consequence Of the mans pre-
viouS success.
1t is in vain for any one to imagine
that faithful work will result of leisure
ly ease: the Castle of Incidence is not
reached by any road through region
worth traverSing. Nor is absence of
difficulties a thing to be desired; it is
only the blind who are conscious OF
nothing beyond their reach. The facil-
lty that practice does indeed bring in
one department of work after anolner
is only to enable the worker to transfer
his energies more effectively to the
achleVlng of greater tasks. It is a
benevolent arrangement, and suggestive
OF the great future prepared for man,
that centuries of investigation have not
exhausted the possibilities in the way
of new conqueSts, that for individual
and race like it is true that the horizon
retreats with every forward step. and
that, While substantial rewards are con-
stantly gained, they serve as incentives
to continued effort towards a vet dis
tant goal.

A Humble Associate and EPatrons of CO.
"PlnzOn has no acquaintance at court,
he was without title or rank, he was I'M
der no instructions, nor was he under
obligation to anyone" says Isaac Bas-
Sett Choate in an article on columbus
and His Friends in the October New
England Magazine. ''By an act of spon-
taneous patriotism he put his influence
and authority, his person and the per-
sons of his brothers and other relatives,
the ships that were bis own,-in a word,
the material of the expedition into the
hands Of Columbus, with the perfect
understanding that the latter was lack
ing the means and the influence to
bring the fleet together. In addition to
all this he advanced on this slender
credit almost half a million Of mara
vedis, or, it may be, the third part of
the total expense. If the undertaking
failed, Columbus would lose some of
the Illusions of his life, which consti-
tuted the sum of his investment, but if
he did not lose all hope he would soon
be found again as sutton at some
court PinzOn on his part would sacri-
flee the half million without any hope
that poor foreigner. and one who was
wholly misunderstood. would ever find
means to reimburse him"

Difficulties a Fruit of Progress.

Golden Rule: 1t is a commonplace
that practice makes perfect, that every
advance makes the next easier; but eX-
perience also proves that with every
forward step new difficulties are en-
countered. The scientist may invent
some device to assist him in his re
searches, but lis new servant tantallzes
its master Ivy magnifying his Ignorance
more than it increases his knowledge,
since it discloses realms uneXplo-ed
and hitherto unsupported.
Often difficulty is not merely dis
covered through progress, as the mo-
ton of the railroad train gives to the
heated journal that brings the whole
to a standstin. The boy who has a
few cents soon doubles his resources,
and continues to add to them until in
course of years he becomes capitalist.
His wealth, to be sure, affords him
great opportunities, as he expected; but
every investment raises new compiler
tons, and imposes a new tax OF care
upon the mans strength. In other
spheres than that of business the case
is similar. The pursuit that at first was
almost sport becomes a serious work,

PEN M AN SHIP.

some IneNcusable BlunderS of Careless
Writers.
Western Rural: There is contradic-
ton in calling any careless penman
either skilled or educated. The act that
he makes all the strokes on a page par
allel TO each other shows a degree of
educated skill. but when he makes N
and u and IA" all exactly or nearly
alike, or makes the word in and the
letter IN" nearly alike. he exhibits a
perverSlon of So-called education. dis
graceS himself and does not treat his
reader with due respect, no matter how
graceful outlines and fiourisheS his
chirography may exhibit. That indiv-
idual is a good penman who can write
rapidly if need be. and ut the same
time make a manuscript that can be
easily read. One who makes a manu-
script page or a sign board so very
pretty that no one can readily read it
is bungler and pest. no matter how
much studied novelty or ornamentation
he may adopt The plea that an illeg-
ible signature is not easily counterfeited
is erroneous. Skilled judges say that
the counterfeiter can follow as care
fully and initiate as successfully bar
barous scrawl as a graceful and legible
signature. 1t is here and there a pc
.culiar stroke or turn that makes a sig
nature difficult of imitation. and these
are made unconsciously by the writer
of the original, and are the features
that cause the professional counterfeites
trouble.

Mr.. Leland thought was perfect safety,

Deposit Company. How the bonds be
came detached from a neat little pack
age containing S225, 900 worth, squeezed
through double safe doors and time
locks and completely disappeared from

question. Mr.. Leland says the bonds
have been distracted without his know
ledge or consent. The officers OF the
National Safe Deposit Company declare
that the papers could MOI have been

the knowledge of either Mr.. Leland or
his wife, they being, it is claimed, the
only persons having keys to the vault
in which the securities were deposited
Mr.. Leland has offered a reward Of
$1,000 for the return of the bonds, and
no questions asked.

Did you ever receive a present that

you in check? Gifts thus received have
no value in them, even though they be

Christmas cannot enter into the giving
