taught him nothing else, it made
him careful about jumping at con.
illusions. There was only one right
answer, and patience was the price
to be paid for finding il.
When he went to college come of
the fellow who were prominent in
athletics said that he was a
"greeny," but Eiihu found that if
he was TO make the most of his time
at his studies he could not afford to
give too much attention to athletics,
so he kept close watcht illness over
his re%crea6ions.
Possibly some boys may think this
a prosaio life for a lad, and it is true
that not all boys could have stood it.
But all the same, when President
Mckinley was looking about for the
best men to fill cabinet positions he
chose Elihu Root, because there
were some knotty problems to solve
in the War Department, and a man
was required who would not talk
much, who would not jump at con
illusions, and who would study q
thing until it was mastered. Before
accepting a place in the cabinet, the
boy who had chosen to solve prob
lens rather than go skating had
reached manhood and become a
lawyer whose income was estimated
at many thousand dollars a year
almost a small fortune each twelve
month.
There were many times while he
was studying law in New York, when
there was need of the same self. con
troll and persistency that he had
praotioed as a boy. But it is out of
such material that are made men for
whom the world has plaoes.-Young

YOUNG sHAFFER's LESSON IN SELF
RELIANCE.

The value of originality and ad-
herence to ones own ideas, if care
fully formed, is we'll carried out in
the following:
General Shafter onoe had the good
fortune TO learn two lessons by one
application. AS the story is told it
happened when he was a boy in
school; and upon this occasion he
was called up to reoite his mental
arithmetic lesson.
SHOW much are seventeen and
seven and nine?" was the question
asked.
While those in the line above him
were guessing he worked out the
answer to his own satisfaction but,
~overhearing the whispered oomputa-
ton of an older boy next below him,
he accepted his answer as correct,
and when it came his turn, young
Shafter called out promptly, "Thirty-
twoI |"
"Next, how many?" "Thirty-
three - was answered, much to the
chagrin of the bafaed imitator.
"That was what l thOughtit was"
growled young Shafter as he passed
below, "and I'll liokyou after school,
and then mind my own business"
Since that hour he has done his
OWL figuring and fighting, as WE'LL

SOMETHING o

When the service don't make you
think of and seek for Christ there is
something wrong. The perfume has
gone out of that flower. A lot Of
common magazine reading and our
rent editorials from the great dailies
and a dash of college lore compound
ed into a sermon isnot preaching the
gospel. Nor is the recital of a num-
Der of religious incidents and aneo
dotes a gospel sermon. The gospel
Is a line of truths having reference
TO actual salvation from sin. AS sin
is an act as we'll as a state, the COS
pei must stop both the bad acting
and the bad condition. If it does
not, either the medicine is not taken
by the patient, or else the medicine
is a failure. No man can stop sin
ming without having an experience.
Preaching that does not result in an
experience of quitting the sin bust
ness is not the gospel, though it may
have much gospel truth mixed in

Upon a church in New York City
we noticed a plaoard which read
something like this: "This church
is open daily from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m,
for rest, meditation and prayer. All
are welcome" This impressed us as
a very beautiful idea and we thought
it might be emulated by churches
everywhere with great profit TO
weary ones and those in meditative
and prayerful moods, and with the
benediotion of Heaven upon the
churches thus min1ful of mankind.
Places of evil are continually open
and doing business. Why should
churches be confined to use on Sun
DAYS and one or two hours during
the other six days of the week.

Who bayed the feline slaughter-beast
that slew
The rat predacious, whose keen fangs

Which lay in Hans inviolste do

Here walks forlorn the damsel crown

Laotiferous spoils from Vaccine dugs

Tossed 80 the clouds in fierce vindic-

Of saponaoeous looks, the priest who

Even as he kissed the virgin all for

Who MIXED the DOW with the impli-
Gated horn,
Who in fine wrath the canine tor

That dared to vex the insidious muri-

Who let auroral ef1uenoe through

The loud cantankerous Shanghai

Whose shouts aroused the shorn

Who sealed the vows of Hymen's

OPTIMISM THAT IS LAZY.

Is is not we'll for us to be too sure
that everything will come out right,
no matter what we do. There is a
lazy optimism which cuts the sinews
of effort, and blunts the sense of
responsibility for our fellow men.
History abounds in evidence of the
harm it does, in bunting mems per-
captions of moral perils and causing
the loss of golden opportunities. 1t
was one of Carlyle's favorite quota
tions: GA weel, Donald, God bring
a richt." "Heoh, sir, but we must
help him to do it," God has not
chosen to bring things right without
He has chosen to teach Us TO
love him and our fellow-man through
working for both. We must watch,
therefore, for the gates he sets open
for Us, that we may enter in and
labor for him. The "'cure of SOULS"
as the old phrase is, is not a profes-
sional matter merely. 1t is more or
less the duty of all Christians.-Sun-

The best way to help ones self is
to help others. This is not the view
worldly men take. They imagine
that the more they do for others the
less they have left for themselves.
They get all they can, give as little
as possible, and keep all they ban.
They do not give to help the poor,
to build great institutions for edu-
cational and charitable uses, because
they believe that giving will dimin
ish their store and weaken them
selves. When they give at all they
try to do so in such a way that all
men will know it in order to make
it work for their own good after all.
They give for themselves, and not
for others.-Dr. Buckley.

The Tonopah public school will not

Of the school having opened late, the
