In former times when man consld- cred himself indispensable and wonder. ed how the world would get along with out him, or if he wanted to know how much be would be missed after his de- cease, the conceit would be taken out of him by telling him to put his thumb into pail of water and then pull it out and look at the hole in the water Many . man at the present time who thinks the welfare or progress of the world rests on his shoulders might proftably ask himself the following questions: Was I with the Rough Rid CTS in the battle of San Juan? Was 1 with Dewey in the battle of Manila? Was I with Schley in the battle of San tiago? Did welcome Dewey at New York last month? Can the war between England and the Boers be conductt d without me2 Can railroads, and steam ships be operated without me? Does the realm of art, science, literature, poetry, music, etc. depend upon my existence? These and legion of simi- lar questions will enable @ man to size himself up. Nevertheless the welfare and progress of the world depends in a large measure upon fidelity to duty in whatever honest and legitimate occupa tion or calling Q mans lot is cast. What vast subject is opened for con- sideration or reflection by the sentence. 'I in my corner, you in yours" Who ever desires or covets honor should re- member that
 "Honor and Fame from no conditions rise, Act well your part, there all the honor lies.' Z
