Facing Ingratitude.

Living in expectation of gratitude
dulls all our best actions. There is III
such living always a touch of the pose;
it is playing to the gallery, it is asking
fer a receipt for a good act, it is demand
ing compound interest on trifies of ia
vors. We must let the consciousness OF
doing right. of living in harmony with
cur ideals. be our reward and stimulus.
CT life Will become to us series of fail
ures and disappoIntments. Let us defy
ingratitude; let US tower above it and be
independent Of it. Let us never surreu-
der to the pessimism that falsely tells us
there is no gratitude in the world, that
our good deeds are wasted.
People who make one individual the
legatee of the ingratitude of another are
unjust. There is too much of this suffer
ing by deputy already in the world. The
worst enemy to the philanthropy of the
rich is the ingratitude of the poor. 1t
requires moral heroism TO continue Civ
ing to the poor and planning for their
betterment and development in the face
of so many instances, one after the
other, of fraud and ingratitude
Profuse expressions of gratitude do
not cancel an Indebtedness any more
than a promissOry note settles an ac-
count. 1t is a beginning, not fnaity.
Gratitude that is so extravagant in
words is usually economical in every
thing else. A friends need is gratitude's

Harper's Bazaar.

The love of beauty for beauty's sake is

HOW MOODY BEAT A RIVAL.
Kept His Rule About Sunday and at

Kept His Rule About Sunday and at
the Same Time Collected the Debt.
Zone Saturday afternoon young Moody
was dispatched to make collection from
an establishment whose credit was under
suspicion. While on the train he diScov-
cred that the representatives of another
firm, to whom the same store was deeply
indebted, was Fastening to the same
place on the same mission" says William
L. Moody, writing of his father, Dwight
L. Moody, in series of article in the
Saturday Evening Post. "a continuous
ride to the town would break into Sun
day, and it was one of Mr. MoOdy's prin-
ciples not to travel on the Sabbath. Il
was necessary for him, therefore, to
spend Sunday at some point and resume
his journey early Monday morning. The
other collector did not have such scrup.es,
but planned to proceed, arrive ON Sunday
morning, and thus secure his claim the
first thing on Monday morning, which
would probably have shut ont Mr..
Moody's firm. However, where principle
was involved Mr. Moody never hesitated,
and yet his business pride was at stake
and it was rather hard for him to see
the other man win. Consequently he de-
termined to do what he could, legitimate
ly, to get even chances. 1t was III the
early days of railway travel and changes
were frequent; SO at one Of those changes
Mr. Moody and his rival took a walk,
and Mr.. Moody engrossed him so in con-
verSatiOn that he missed his train, and
thus both men got to the town at the
same time on Monday"

JOHNSON FOR BRYAN,
Former Indiana Representative to
Advocate His Cause.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, July IA letter from ex-
Representative Henry u. johnson of In
diana, who has been practicing law in ST.
Louis since he retired from the FYfty-afth
Congress. has been received by one OF his
friends In this city. Mr. johnson makes II
plain that he will take no uncertain ground
in this campaign, and that he will support
Mr.. Bryan out and out. The dispatches
Lave indicated that he might prefer simply
to denounce the policy of President Nc
Kinley's administration and not sauarely
advocate the election of Mr.. Bryan.
For nearly two months Mr. johnson has
been I'm st. Louis hospital suffering from
a nervous trouble. and it Is probable that
ne will be forced to remain there for n
month or two to come. He was in rather
poor health when he left Washington, but
had hardly made good start in his pro-
fession at 81. Louis before his physician
commanded absolute rest and treatment for
three or four months.
As soon as his health permits he expects
to take the stump In Indiana and else
where. Mr.. johnson was regarded as one
of the ablest and most fearless men in the
last Congress. He opposed the Spanish War
S.renuously and commanded the respect OF
all men in Congress save only Republicans
of extreme craftsmanship. He was one of the
long line of distinguished men who have
attained prominence in the public service
