Throughout Christian history no char
aeterlstic Of the genuine believer has
been more noteworthy than the fact
&at God is the chief subject Of his
i bought and affection He may be the
busiest OF men. with large and diver
siied interests Of all sorts. and he may
have gained success and honor BY his
energy and skill in his occupation.
But It Is his peculiarity that he Is ami
mated IN all his business or profess
sional intercourse by the distinct pur-
pose TO serve God. and that. whenever
there comes an interval. his thoughts
turn at once in some form to his heav-
enly Father. He does not parade the
Sact. He is more apt TO be reticent
about 1t. But as you grow intimate
with him you learn that his relation
and that Of his fellows to the Al
mighty. his obligation to live right
eously. and his privilege in experienc-
ing and illustrating the divine love are
the background and foundation Of an
that be does and Is. His heart is Fixed
unon God.-Congregationalist

No better life wakes OF itself, but

This Man owes Wealth To Being
Kicked From Train.
During a recent conclave OF railroad
magnates something reminded we'll
known general manager OF a whimsi-
cal story. ~ am afraid there is no par
ticular moral TO this yarn" he said,
''but it happens to be true, and I'll give
it to you for what the newspaper boys
call human interest Not long ago
the millionaire president Of a big man
ufacturing concern up in Ohio made a
speech at banquet, and TO Illustrate
how seeming misfortunes may prove
blessings in disguise he said that he
got his start in life throughibeing kick
ed off an accommodation train in the
dead of winter. 1t was during the
hard times of the SOS, he went on to
relate, and although he was skilled
mechanic and something of an engi-
neer, he found it impossible to procure
work OF any kind, even manual labor.
Things went from bad to worse, and at
last he found himself stranded some
where in southern Ohio. He was stone
broke and desperate, and wanted to get
to Dayton, where he had heard vaguely
there was something doing in his trade
So one bitter cold evening he slipped
on board an accommodation train,
hoping TO be able TO talk the conductor
into carrying him. But he failed igno-
miniously.
"He begged and pleaded, and told
his story with all the eloquence OF des-
pair, but the ticket puncher refused to
melt. On the contrary, he pulled the
bell rope when they came to the next
station, grabbed the unhappy young
mechanic and propelled him of the car
with series of swift kicks. He landed
in snowbank and slept in freight
shed, but the next day his chance
came. A span suddenly gave way in
new iron bridge over big creek at the
edge OF the town and the whole struct-
ure threatened to 90 down before eX-
perts could arrive from the builders
foundry. AT that critical juncture the
stranger jumped into the breach, built
temporary supporting trestle out OF
logs and crossties and saved something
like $50, 900 worth of work. OF course
the bridge people were delighted, and
when they saw what really scientific
job he had done they offered the shah
by engineer a handsome position in
their establishment. From that on his
rise was rapid and in concluding the
little tale, he laid especial stress
on the apparent hopelessness of his
position the night he was elected from
the train, and made the point that one
should never give way TO despair If
that conductor had carried me, instead
of kicking me Off, he said, i would

How 10 Enjoy Your Holiday

Whether your journey this summer
be across the ocean, or TO the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, or
only to some farm or town twenty miles
from your own hearthstone, first of all
have your mind in a holiday mood.
Resolve TO be happy and to make all
around you happy, if they know enough
and have in them the capacity for it.
Then study how you can get as com
plete change as possible from dll that
usually surrounds you. Change even
the kind OF books you read, taking up
some fresh page of the story OF life as
1t is committed TO literature. Throw
yourself heartily into outdoor games
golf, basketball, croquet and tennis
or learn to emulate the English girls,
who are not afraid OF ten.mile morn
ing walk. II you live in the city and
spend your vacation in the country,
take with you book or two on birds,
trees or wild flowers; not as study,
but to help direct your attention and
help you see what is around you. So
you will find recreation, rebuilding or
restoration Ct mind and body as you
walk in fields and woods, and peer into
thickets. or wade in green-embowered
brooks, searching out the wild things
OF nature. Ida G.. Sweet in the July
Woman's Home Companion.

Justin r.. Whiting, who is chairman
of what remains of the Democratic
party in this state, said at the social
and political conference meeting in
Detroit that he advocated the owner
ship by the government of coal mines,
telegraph and railroad systems and
like semi-public utilities, including
iron mines and steel plants. He wants
the Democratic party to take up this
issue in plank in its next national
platform. Mr.. Whiting here shows
himself to be even less of Democrat
than the man out in Nebraska who
would make free silver the one test of
Democracy. Every platform the
Democratic party has made has been
in one form or another protest
against the extension of the power
and authority of government.
