or any of the busy haunts of man, is
far more sustaining for practical pur-
poses than that which we derive from
books. Man perfects himself by work
more than by reading, by life rather
than literature, by action not study.
Character and not biography is the
thing that perpetually renovates man.
kind.
Every man has the germ of self
reliance born with him. 1t can be
cultivated to great advantage. 1t out
strips talent and genius in the race for
success in lite. Thousands and
thousands of brilliant men have failed
for want of self reliance, perishing in
the sight of more adventurous, tho
less gifted, competitors. Self-reliance
enables one to do the right thing at the
right time. Every one knows that
"there is tide in the affairs of men,
which if taken at flood leads on to
fortune" But not every one has the
ability to tell the time of flood, and
there are those who after telling it
lose It's advantages through lack of
nerve. Roosevelt, Funston, Beveridge
and many others of the present day
are examples of self-reliance, men who
dare to do things.
Success of man has long been cele-
brated in the literature of all lands.
The great poets have created for us
personages whose lives of action stand
out clearly; of the present age Albert
Hubbard has told this story. In his
Letter to Garcia" he says:
"My heart goes out to the man who
does his work when the boss is away
as well as when he is at home. And
the man who, when given a letter to
Garcia, quietly takes the missive,
without asking idiotic questions, and
with no lurking intention of chucking
it in the sewer, or doing aught else but
deliver it. Such man never gets laid
off or has to go on strike for higher
wages. Civilization is one long anxious
search for just such individuals. ANY,
thing such man may ask shall be
granted. His kind is so rare that no
employer can afford to let him go. He
is wanted in every city, town and
village--in every cffice, shop, store and
factory. The world cries out for such
as he; he is needed; and needed badly"
We live in an age in which the restraints
that surround the individual have been
removed. Individuality has full scope
for itself in adventures for the sake of

Paper Read Before the ChIutduQud Circle


~ ALL the mental qualifica-
tiOns that help one to succeed
~ in this life self-reliance is the
most important. An old and
wise maxim teaches that if you desire
thing we'll done, you must do it your
self, and therefore those who rely most
upon themselves for the accomplish
ment of any object or aim in life are
the ones who do the best work and
achieve the greatest results. "Heaven
helps those who help themselves" is the
maxim that should ever be foremost in
the minds of those seeking or giving
aid. The spirit of self-help is the
foundation of all genuine growth in
the individual. and combined in the
lives of many constitutes the real root
of national vigor and strength.
Help from within gives power, while
help from without is frequently weak
ening in its effects. The things that
are done for men, or classes of men, to
a very great extent take away the
stimulus and desire of doing for self,
and where men are subjected to over
guidance and paternalism the tendency
is to render them comparatively help
less. Energetic individualism produces
the most powerful effect upon life and
actions, and really constitutes the best
practical education. The determina-
tion to be ones own helper is the true
secret of individual development and
strength.
When Daniel Webster was ridicuIed
by his fellow students at Dartmouth
college for his intense application to
study, he raised a loud laugh against
himself by replying, 81 am forced to
make the most of my time here, that 1
may acquit myself creditably when in
congress" Here was self-reliance and
seif-help. No one knew better than
Webster the difficulties that lay between
him and the goal of his ambition, and
while others joshed and laughed at him,
he was helping himself to overcome
those difficulties. The man that dares
to think for himself and to act in
dependently does service to his race
Daily experience shows that it is
energetic individualism that produces
the most powerful influence upon the
life and actions of others.
Self-reliance is the best practical
education; school and college gives but
the merest beginning of culture; the
life education, the street, shop, factory

Church Lawn Social.

The lawn social given by the ladies
of the Congregational church on the
Court house lawn Friday evening,
was decided success, both socially
and financially. The lawn was lit up
by chinese lanterns, and with the
large crowd present, made pretty
sight upon which to gaze. Those
present were waited uoon by ''colored
walters imported for the occasion
from '.Coon Hollow and the way
they served ice cream and cake re-
minded one of the real colored ar
fists. No nicer place than the Court
house lawn could have been found to
hold such social was the sentiment
of those present.
All enjoyed the singing by the
young ladies and gentlemen through
out the evening, and left for their
homes wishing the ladies would soon
give another one of their lawn socials.

NEW ENGLAND SUPPER SUCCESS.
 The New England supper, given by the young people of the Methodist church, was we'll attended and was a very enjoyable occasion. Everybody seemed in their best spirits and ready to add their part to the general fun. The program was short, consequently not too tiresome Miss Mabel Clark gave recitation. with song, and also made the presentation speech in verse, when a huge pumpkin pie was pre- sentcd to Rev Mir Dikeman. Miss Clark is a very gifted young girl, with abundant promise for the future as a vocalist. She is wonder to all who hear her, because of the power and sweetness of her voice. The young men gave dialogue. Scene, in doc tors office. Milon B. Hawley per sonated the venerable M. D. It was a laughable burlesque, making much merriment. The young ladies wish to thank all who kindly assisted both in the supper and program.
