Washington. July 2G.-It was said at
the war department late yesterday
that no news can be expected from any
official source as TO Gen. Miles move
ments until to-day at the earliest. IL
is calculated that he arrived last even
ing at the point on the coast OF Puerto
Rico selected as the rendezvous for all
the vessels of the expedition. Whether
or not he will undertake to make a
landing in advance of the arrival or
the whole expedition probably will de-
pend entirely upon conditions as he
finds them. Should there be no Span
ish force or at least an inc~onsiderable
one on the coast the troops will be
landed to relieve them from the dis
astrous effects of being confined closely
on shipboard under a tropical sun.
The general has with him sufficient ar
tillery TO hold any position he may
choose to occupy, supplemented as this
artillery will be by the guns of the

That is the turning point of life. Not
the longings, the dreaming, the feelings
and wishing, but the choosing, is what
shapes the course of destiny. The will
is the rudder of life. Too much mistake
is made here. Religion has appeared to
be rested too much Oh the feelings and
the understanding. Emphasis has been
placed on what is believed. "What is
your creed?' has been the test Of piety
with many. ''How do you feel?' has
been the all important question with
others. The real test of character lies in
"What will you do?'' Determination de-
cides destiny. There must be an ade-
uuate basis Of knowledge. One must
know the right that should be done.
Then comes choice for or against that
right. will, Or I will not, which shall
1t be? It matters not how I feel. All
past action and association may have
co-operated to make the doing Of right
and duty distasteful and difficult. All
future prospects may premise hardship
and persecution All allurements may
beckon the way of the wrong. If 1 know
it to be wrong, no seductiveness of
pleasure promised can render it other
than evil, must say no. No contempt
of others can be SO bitter as self con-
tempt No lash of enmity can equal the
sting of ones own outraged soul. I
ought; therefore 1 will. That settles it
for me for all time. am king, and the
king shall rule his own. In exile and
obscurity, unknown Or only known to
be hated, but in consciousness Of integ
rity, knowing ones kingliness, all can
be borne and patiently waited for, the
day shall dawn when the king shall
come to his own.

Guilty in getting his men across the Tai

waiting, would slip back into the town.
When this was found out. staff officers
were sent to order the men into line,
and they rode along, calling on them to
close up.
Several Texans started, OH hearing
the order, and dashed along the street
at breakneck speed. and one fellow

Personal Influence,

The secret of the influence some peo-
pie possess over others is most difficult to
discover. Some who lack personal beau
ty of face aud form, who have neither
education nor culture of society, possess
ing neither wealth nor brilliant CONVEX
sational powers, destitute, in fact, Of all
the ordinary elements Of popularity, still
Seem to have wonderful influence over
other people. Perhaps the unaffected in
terest they manifest in others welfare,
the genuine goodness Of soul and trans
parency Of motive are the chief factors
IN their success. True it is that If we
would benefit others we must forget
self. No niggardly scrimping Of SYM
pathy and care for personal comfort ever
ruled in the heart Of one who became
largely helpful to others. There is no
way of winning others except by the
complete giving Of self first, unreserved-
~ and without bargain. Even Christ
could save no man till He had given His
own life for the lost.
II you want to save some one, do a
little dying for him. Die unto self and
live for him, and you stand a chance to
win him..
