Young man, If you want to succeed
in life, beware of self-indulgence. That
vice is the bane of modern times. Your
forbears succeeded because they exer-
cised the virtues Of self-restraint and
self-sacrifice Those virtues sound
strangely in your ears. You have little
conception of what they mean. In
your grandfather's youth there were
no heating and cooking stoves, to say
nothing of gas ranges. Your grand
mother cooked the meals at the fire
place or in q Dutch oven. There were
no kerosene lamps, no railroads, no
telegraphs, no telephones. The civili-
cation Of those times was not rich in
invention, but it was rich in men and
women. There were few luxuries in
those early times and little temptation
to >self-indulgence. Life is made easy
fOryou in one sense and hard for you
In another. Mastery Of self Is more
difficult now than it was fifty years
ago. There are less difficulties to over
come and more temptations in the
way. And If you are not careful of
your opportunities the children of
other lands will outrun you 1t is the
children of the foreigners who are do
ing the heavy work Of the land and in
so doing they are building up the phys
ical, mental and moral fibre that you
lack. Don't make fun Of the immi-
grant. He comes of a large family
and is gimpy. The man who gets the
largest salary in this country is named
Schwab. Your greatest enemy is a
disposition to self-indulgence, self-in-
diligence in drink, or passion or social
dissipation. If you are to run your
race with patience and poise you must
deny yourself. Sounds strange? 1t is
true.

Albert Audet was recently in jail in
Chicago for house breaking. The state
ment brings up a mental picture of a
1ow-browed character with furtive
manner and restless eyes. But Albert
Audet who robbed boarding houses is
not that kind of q man. Albert dress
es In the mode and when arrested eight
complete suits, none of which cost less
than $50, were found in his trunk. He
is ffne-looking, soft speaking young
gent with marks of birth and breed
Ing. And he is we'll educated. He
holds diploma for bachelor of arts in
Montreal university and is a gradu-
ate of medical college. Maurice Grau
paid him good money also for the use
of his voice. He sang in the opening
cast of ''Florodora.' What link did
Fate neglect when it forged the chain
of this gentlemanly burglars make
up! Birth, breeding, bearing, refine
ment, physical and mental gifts-but
somewhere there was a weak spot.
Here it is: His principal complaint,
after confessing to his crimes, was
tu1t AS Gou1uA he 0ONA Oh his WOOD
en- jail bench without wrinkling his
clothes! Vanity. 1t has been pointed
out again and again that ostentation
and shallow pride in her clothes has
ruined many a girl. But it is also true,
though less remarked, that eoneeit in
Taiment has spoiled many a boy. The
youth who thinks more OF his clothes
than he thinks Of his character is in
danger.

Professor Small must not be too hard
on the sons Of the rich. In his lecture
at the Chicago University on "Rents
and Interest" he denounced wealthy
young men who lean back in their sea
green automobiles and live on the In
terest of their fortunes. 1t is not to
be denied that the young man might
spend his time and money to better ad-
vantage. But if the son of the rich
man still prefers his sea-green automo-
mile. who shall say that he is doing
nothing for the community? He Is dis
pensing his money in a legitimate way
Instead Of COrnering other peoples priv
lleges. He may withhold from the poor,
but in his way he is giving activity
to business and employment to honest
labor. He may come to grief by squan-
dering his millions, but that is his own
matter. The community cannot suf-
fer by a spendthrift as it can and does
suffer from the miser and the monOpo-
list. Professor Small must give the
rich young man some credit for bene,
fitting the community, even when the
youth is sitting in his sea-green auto
mobile and merely enjoying the land
scape.

If quarrel between Sarah Bern.
hardt and Catulle Mendes, the author
md poet, about the production of the
latter's poetical drama, "Sainte Their.
esq.," which has been promised to the
Coincide Franchise. Nine. Bernhard
heard of the drama, begged to be
allowed to produce it and M. Mendes
withdrew it from the Coincide Fran
caise and gave it to her under stipu-
lations of securing a good run. M.
Mendes subsequently took it back
when in full rehearsal, on the ground
that Nine. Bernhard had made ar.
rangements to go to London, which
precluded satisfactory run for
"Sainte Therese.' The story has been
told in series of remarkable letters
exchanged between Nine. Bernhard
and M. Mendes, which the latter pub.
lished. The letters are most amusing,
with their mutual, gushing compli.
ments and poetical forms of address,
which, however, deteriorated into the
chilliest expressions as the quarrel
became embittered.
