lessness of words. But when fel
low has reached his jour.
ney's end, when the darkness from
which he emerged has received him
again, it is but natural for his
friends to mIngle with their grief
expressions of their love and loss.
"He who lies before us in the
sleep of death was my friend and I
am his. He was generous to his
fellow men, and his hands were al
ways swift to help, eager to save.
He pitied the friendless, the hope
less.
ale was proud of his profession,
the noblest; proud of his skill, of
his success. He was quick to de-
eide, to act, prompt, tireless, always
forgetful Of self. He heightened
life and conquered pain. Hundreds
are well and happy now because he
lived. This is enough. This puts
a star above the gloom of death.
"He was not quite fashioned for
this world. The flint and thorns on
life's highway bruised and pierced
his flesh, and for his wounds he did
not have the blessed balm of pa
thence. He felt the manacles, the
limitations, the Imprisonment of
life, and so within the walls and
bars he wore away his very soul.
He could not bear the storms. The
tides, the winds, the waves in the
morning of his life dashed his frail
bark against the rocks. He fought
as best he could, and that he fell
was not his fault.
"He was honest, generous and
courageous. These three great vir-
tues we're his. He was a true and
steadfast friend, seeing only the
gladness of the ones he loved. Only
a great and noble heart is capable
of this.
"But he has passed beyond the
reach of praise, or blame, passed to
the realm of rest, to the waveless
calm of perfect peace.
"And We who know and loved
him; we who now perform the last
sad rites, the last that friendship
can suggest, will keep his memory
green.
"Dear friend, farewell.
"If We do meet again then we
shall smile, indeed 4; if not, this par
ting is well made.

Have the Courage of Your
Convictions.
by Frank a. Munsey.l

Most men, it seems to me, are
too much afraid of making mis-
takes. l like men who make mis-
takes, who have the dash, the en-
ergy, the warm blood in their vein 8
to make mistakes. Everything in
life is more or less of a gamble.
Timidity never accomplished any
thing in this world. Faith is the
mainspringvf enterprise. Mistakes
make the gstae interesting. They
lift it above the dead level, stimu-
late Imagination, and Keep hope
young.~-~
More good thoughts have perish
ed than have ever seen the light Of
day. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world to reason the merit ali out of
new idea. The man who "gets
there" is the man who has the cour-
age to make the plunge when the
thought is fresh in his mind-to
strike while the iron Is hot. Ideas,
like time and tide, walt for nobody.
They must be taken at the food.
The man who attempts to argue all
the way to the finish is lost. Diff
ficulties are at their worst in the
perspective. The plunge is the vital
thing-the beginning, the life.
Faith and experience will care for
the rest. The worlds real benefac-
tors are it's brave men, the men who
have the soul to do and to dare, to
risk everything, fortune, reputation
and life.
l don't believe at all in the sure
thing theory; 1 don't believe at all
in the theory of getting something
for nothing. The man who seeks
big rewards should take big chan
ces, should give up an ample equiv
alent in brain force, thought, ener-
gy, money, for everything he gets.
The man who rises above the sur
face makes no end of mistakes the
drone, alone, makes no mistakes.
One of the worst mistakes the
world makes is its horror of making
mistakes. This very thing is one
of the greatest possible menaces to
intelligent, conscientious legisla-
tion. The legislator is so trammeled
by the feeling that he must never
make a mistake, that he must al
ways be consistent, that large
percentage Of his value to the State
is lost. The straightjacket of pub
lie opinion, narrow, unwise, intoler-
ant public opinion, that does not
allow its representatives the free
dom of the man of affairs, blocks
the wheels of progressive, business
like legislation. The lawyer and
the doctor and the business man
make mistakes. Why, then, shouldn't
the legislator make mistakesP Why
shouldn't he vote tomorrow to re-
peal the act for which he votes to-
day, if tomorrow brings him addi-
tional light upon the subject, if to-
morrow's experience demonstrates
to him that his reasoning of today
was wrong? Imagination does not
carry with unerring accuracy. Ex-
perience alone determines VIII \
a thing is right or not. - ;
