TRUE GREATNESS.
How II Is Distinguished from Learn
Ing In Men Who Achieve
Eminence.

1t is a common error to confound
learning with greatness. The fact that
a medical student of this day knows
more of the science of medicine than
DR.. Abernethy did does not prove he is
a greater man. The fact that the aver
age sophomore in one of our colleges
knows more of the laws of nature, of
chemistry, the sciences and of Ian
guages than Socrates knew does not
prove that the former is the greater
man. The fact that the ordinary naval
cadet could take torpedo boat and
sink Lord Nelson and the Victory in q
few minutes does rot prove that the
latter is a greater naval commander.
John Bunyan's "Pilgrm's Progress"
has been read by more people, and will
in years TO come be read by more peo-
pie, than any book written by the most
learned man of his own or subsequent
times, and yet Bunyan was n tinker
by trade and was as ignorant OF the
rules of grammar as he was of the BIZ
nomial theorem. No one can dispute
the genius of Bunyan. Greater inven-
tons and discoveries have been made
III our llIIt IMAM NtIC ever ny
Jenner or Watts, or Sir Isaac Newton.
But it is likely the credit of no. one of
the great modern inventions can be
ascribed to any one man. Morse alone
did not invent the magnetic telegraph;
Bell did not alone conceive the idea of
the telephone. nor was the typesetting
machine the exclusive work of one man.
There was among ME great men of
the past an individuality. which distin-
guishes few living men. The average
ability of physicians was as great, per-
haps, in Abernethy's time as il is now.
And yet he stood high above them, and
almost without a rival. The average
ability of the United States senator was,
perhaps, as great or greater in the last
generation than il is to-day. And yet
the three great senators, Calhoun, Web
ster and Clay, stood high above the rest.
and il they were in the senate to-day
their prominence would probably be
rs undsputed. 1t may be that there
are many men now living in the United
States who may justly be termed great
men, but there are few in any of the
walks of life so great that their position
is entirely undisputed baltimore Sun.

II is a curious fact known, how

though the sky was clear beforehand.
At Waterloo rain came down in tor

example. The tremendous conclusion

WHAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR.

Wherever the American flag is raised
in token OF sovereignty, 1t stands for
liberty, independence and equality.
What our flag is to the nation. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is to the lndlvid-
ual. inasmuch as 1t not only gives you
freedom from your ailments, but pro-
tects your system in such manner
that they cannot return, When your
stomach gets out Of order. causing
you to beleh after eating, or when you
are so nervous that you toss about all
night, unable to sleep, you should GER
tainly try 1t, because It will strengthen
your stomach, steady your nerves, and
induce sound, healthy sleep, and for
indigestion, constipation and biliousness
there is nothing to equal 1t. Rheuma-
tlsm is also counteracted by its direct
action on the kidneys.
