Sir: Seeing that there Is great need OF helm for
destitute Of cancer among men | desire n
obtain a permanent home for them such as we have
for women. and / know from experience that il
should be twice large the female home at
this address. We have taken care of nine male
cases attending all their wants till their death
by the aid Of male nurses in adjacent tenement
house. money having been given for this special
purpose.
Before the death of the last two the landlord was
forced by the other tenants to turn them out and
II only after long search that We found shelter
for them II will be impossible for 10 carry on
this uncertain arrangement any longer. Cancer
must have a home OF its own. because no one
wishes to live under the same roof with it.
Three thousand dollars has been accumulated for
the purpose OF buying home for male cases but a
much larger sum is needed. and generous dona-
lions are begged for by US, because dare not
have large debt property when the poor sick
are looking 10 us for immediate disbursements for
their food and fuel. 1t easily be that the
charity would become nigEardly If a heavy mort

largely established St. Roses Home for
who are sick and destitute, and that IL would be

portance than the spirit which he brings 20 his
daily work. Some asked Joseph Jefferson not

This freshness Of spirit with great personality is.
Mr.. Mabie said. the secret Of the inspired teacher
and the creative artist Inspiration is not hap
hazard Of chance but and goes under the
play Of law as much anything else. He illus
trated by anecdote the influence Of Emerson's in
spiratOn upon those whom he met. and said II
you originally inspired It is a good idea to
get into the right neighborhood with inspired peo
ple-those who have the right attitude toward
truth and life.
Inspired people, Mr. Mabie had found, usually
have low estimate OF their attachments. and
always bent OF learning as they 20 along. They
always recognize the fact that the greatest teacher
In the world is experience. and expect to 20
through any test without getting something
OF II.
The best thing with all experiences, he said is
TO treat them if they new. When ones
work becomes commonplace, all interest in IL Is
lost. and with It has gone all power OF doing It as
II should be done. Only one alternative under
such circumstances is left-to stop trying TO do it
at all. 1t is dishonest 10 continue effort that
cannot be well accomplished
Mr.. Mabie pictured the city Of the future as one
with clean streets, noble parks beautiful archi-
lecture. fine drfveways. perfect water supply and
drainage system. free concerts, open galleries and
libraries, and atmosphere that shall in itself
educate the men and women born In ii whether
they go to schools That the present civ
ilzation is probably FIVE hundred years behind this
condition Mr.. Mabie conceded and declared that

The signs Of the creative spirit are he said faith
JOY, enthusiasm and vitality. The spirit of God

have expressed desire that IN future some
member of her family should visit Ireland every
year. and King Edward is known to be intent on

Kings only brother. the Duke Of Connaught. with
the Duchess will spend part of every year there,
as they are greatly attached to the Irish people.
The Irish return the feeling. especially as the Duke
