A recent visitor to an astronomical
observatory looked through the great

appearance in the sky. The professor,
standing near, was incredulous; the
locker persistent. The man of science
took his turn at the instrument, and
then quietly remarked: There is a
cobweb forming across the glass. That
accounts for your vision of the extra
ordinary object" Observers in vari-
Jus departments of human thought

YOUNG MEN IN THE CAMPAIGN.

YOUNG MEN IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Writing about young men in the COM
ing presidential campaign, James E.
diana, in Success, says:
Who, then, are young men? They
are those who eagerly face the future;
who heroically confront new conditions
and meet new problems; who have an
Astounding faith in the future Of hui
manity; those who are not content to
live in the past, but whose minds and
hearts are open to new ideas and new
convictions. All such are young, re-
gardless of years. What are the main
points OF distinction between the debil-
ity of age and the viriiity of youth?
Courage, self-reliance, and an unwav-
ering faith in destiny, or in the pro-
cesses Of evolution, or, better yet, in
God.
Men constantly limit themselves by
their thoughts. The man who, in the
presence of any task, folds his arms
and lazily asserts Il can't" renders
himself helpless by that thought. All
the inventions of history, which have
transformed nations and made possible
the glory of our ago, first existed in the
mind before they were %outwardly ex-
pressed in the material. Therefore,
large ideas are necessary-grand con-
~ceptions of duty and destiny and glory.
"A nation limits itself by its ideals,
and so, il we would accomplish much,
We must maintain lofty conceptions of
our possibilities and powers. | have no
patience with the American who is
without faith in his country, in its ca
liabilities, in its potentialities, in it's
destiny, and constantly doubts it's abil-
ity to take its proper place among the
nations of the earth. / have no pa

fly, carries his headlight on behind,
and must, therefore, back into the fu-
ture in order to see his way. This is
pessimisn u mad-pessimism that

These mighty tasks are before us; we
must perform them, and we can. The

way OF half its rubbish"
