People don't want to hear of your
doubts: they have these OF their own.
Tell the world of your beliefs and GER
tainties and you will find eager listen
ers, and men will go away from you
made resolute by your words. Don't
find fault unless 1t be with yourself,
and then only that you may correct the
fault found. No one is crediting with
eminent ability the individual who goes
about criticising adversely everything
and everyone. 1t does not call formuch
grey brain matter to be Il kicker Cen
serious people are not clever, they are
only disagreeable. They must not think
either that because they are disagree
able they are necessarily good. There
arc in every organization individuals
whose calling seems to be to find fault
And they labor to make their calling
and election sure. Independent For

duty on the auxiliary cruiser Resolute

SIT really took more nerve to face

han it did to take chances OF the
collier, " he said, laughingly. THAT
warned me that the girls had prepared
a surprise for me. So 1 expected
something out OF the usual, but vas
scarcely ready for such a lombard
ment of kisses"
"How many girls were there?
swell. 1 should say about 200, and
pretty girls, too. All girls are pretty,
especially Stuart girls. 1 really stop
ped counting them along about the 100
mark. 1 must have been sort O. dazed
about them, because l couldn't recOg-
nize them after that, though 1 knew
them all before l went to the war;
"How dOes it feel to be kissed by
200 girls?"
Just about 2oo times as good as to
be kissed by one girl OF course 1
CAM just say hat 1 liked the expert
ence as there we're so many of them
and they really weren't kissing me,
you know; they were only kissing q
man who was on the Merrimac. 1t
makes a great difference when the sal
utation is only for a thing you have
done instead of for yourself"
D%eignan's trip from his home
to duty in this city was an interesting
one for q man suddenly become ia.
nous and as yet wearing his laurels
with difidence. AT Des Moines he was
the guest of honor at q banquet, and In
Chicago the newspaper men enter
tanned him. After leaving that city
his identity was unknown until the
train reached Syracuse, where there
was a general hand shaking.
