young man entering upon business CO
reer needs this quality-it is the one thins
without which he cannot hope to %
successful business man.
There is crisis in every mans LIE
when he is called upon to make mo-
mentous choice between the road to sue
cess and that leading to failure. He u
like man walking along Il straight road
who unexpectedly encounters fork In
the pathway. Here three roads diverge.
The center one. that most frequently tax
en-, leads to mediocrity. or the other two,
one leads to success and the other to
failure; there is no finger post. and q
mans decision depends entirely upon his
own intuition. This intuition is merely
the outcome OF concentration. II q man
has devoted his best efforts to the bust
ness he has in hand. he possesses the
ability to make q wise choice; IL not. he
is lost.
No one can advise at the critical mo-
ment. Ii the individual has earnestly
endeavored to master his business, and
has acquired q thorough knowledge OF
it. he Is In position to map out the
right course for himself; il not, no ad-
vice can prove availing.
TO succeed to-day. a man must possess
originality and perseverance; he must
master and understand himself and his
business and have stamina. Half-heart-
edness in business only leads to disap-
pointment. To succeed. a man must con-
centrate his thoughts and energies upon
his work. and such concentration is
bound to bring its own reward.

the CHURCH AND POLITICS.
BY Rev. George ". St0n'

n The line between things secu-
~ lar and things religious is too
sharply drawn in these days. II
w man is to be truly religious. he
n must exercise his power consci-
ANI entiously in every department of
~ life. He must be loyal and ODE
client to his impulses in the discharge OF
his duties as a citizen. He must do this
il he would be truly faithful to his
church. 1t is because men have created
the artificial line referred to that we
have bad laws, incompetent and corrupt
administration. The smaller the govern
mental division the more likely we are
to find evil conditions. Municipal ad-
1ninistration. as rule. is the worst. The
interest in national elections is always
greater than in any other, while the inter
est in municipal elections is generally the
least Of all. 1t is because Of this that
we have usually more incompetent ad-
ministratiOn in municipal government
than elsewhere.
We must not be afraid Of that word
politics. DO not consent to the ruin OF
this word. The boss system" is not poll
tics. Politics is authoritatively defined
as 1.-The science of government" We
have no more right to call this conspiracy
against the freedom OF the people known
as the boss system" politics than we
have to call common. stupid lying by the
name Of diplomacy. The remedy for
bossism is to be found only in the hearty
and intelligent cooperation Of men OF all
parties and Of no parties in the work Of
destruction. This. l insist is pre-em-
nently religious duty. II the church
has not enough influence to make us per-
form this duty. then there is something
radically wrong with the church.
There is a world Of difference between
leader and a boss. The leader says.
come on" the boss says, go on" the
leader cOnsults. the boss dictates; the
leader serves the people. the boss tyran-
nizes the people; the leader plans, the
boss schemes; the leader works in day
light. the boss in darkness.
Let each church have its mems good
government club" with meetings on a
weekday, committed to the work Of pre-
pairing the spiritual soil of the parish by
redceming it from the noxious weeds Of
vice. crime and all unlawful acts and
deeds that hinder the progress Of justice
and righteousness.

reverse them In the usual manner when
the car Is running In either direction.
When the coach is on night trips. how
ever. arrangement Is made for bridging
the space between the seats to form
touches. Thus an ordinary passenger
car having seats with movable backs
can be readily converted into sleeper
with touches filling the space which is
occupied by any two contiguous seats
and their backs.
In the new invention the solid fitting
bar to which the back Of the seat Is
rigidly attached Is replaced by slotted
bar. n separate bar is secured to the
back. and the connection between this
and the slotted bar is bolt, having
a screw head which forms clamp
for holding the two in either position
When the clamp is released the back
of the seat drops down to the level Of
the bottom. the slotted bar resting in
the hook ut the side of the seat to sup
port the weight.

Coolies DO the Hard Work.

The brunt Of the hard labor in Ma
Mia, as in many eastern cities. is per-
formed by the cOolie class. This is gen
orally an ignorant but rather content
ed class. They receive very low wages
and subslst upon what other people
would throw away. They are lndolent
unless driven by want Of food and
they bask in the sun like animals. One
Of the strange and interesting sights
on any day in Manila Is to witness the
coolies at their MONDAY siesta. They
sit about on their launches and quietly
puff their pipes and appear but half
awake. This is always after they have
had full meal Of rice and vegetables.
