Man,A Influence.

The only responsibility that man can
not evade in this life is the one he thinks
of least-his personal influence. Mans
conscious influence, when he is on dress
parade, when he is posing to impress those
around him--is wofully small But his un-
conscious influence, the silent, subtle ra-
diation of his personality, the effect of his
words and acts, the trihes he never con
siders--is tremendous. Every moment OF
life he is changing to degree the life OF
mosphere which is affecting every other.
So silently and unconsciously is this in
huence working that man may forget that
it exists.-W. G. Jordan.

the banks of the eastern branch of the
Potomac, and formally placed the ofh-
cal marker of the order at the monu-
lnent of General George Clinton, New
Yorlk's famous revolutionary war gov
ernor.
President Roosevelt, a member of the
special committee of ths5 Empire State
Society appointed for the occasion, was
detained at the white house, but sent a
wreath of roses and pansies. The Dis
trict of Columbia had charge of the ex-
ercises.
General Thomas M. Vincent pre-
sided. The weather was threatening,
and only few spectators witnessed the
brief ceremony.
The services were opened with pray
er by the Rev. DR.. Childs, and then the
entire party Joined with him in reciting
the Lords prayer. President General
Logan next slowly placed the bronze
marker of the order in the place dug for
1t at the foot of the pedestal. The
marker is of the same design as the
insignia of the order, and is modelled
after the badge of the Legion of Honor
Of France. 1t bears the inscription, 5.
A. r., 1775." All present stood with
barred heads while this was taking
place.
Colonel Prime. the chairman of the
New York society, eulogized General
Clinton as hero whose laurels had
been won by many events, as general
in the revolutionary army, as governor
Of New York and as vice president I'M
Sar TaffarcnO and MaGHGDp.
General Vincent also sketched parts
of Clintons career.
Mr.. Logan, as the head of the nation
al body, also spoke of the eminent
services General Clinton had rendered
his country.
The earth was then thrown about the
marker and two color bearers thrice
dropped the colors before the monu-
ment The party also repaired to the
monument of Elbridge Gerry, another
OF the vice presidents of the United
States whose grave adjoins that OF
Clinton. Here few appropriate re-
marks were made and the colors dipped
