THE REWARDS OF AMBITION.
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,.

suppose that the rewards of political am
bition are not sufficiently satisfying or
the collar of party allegiance chafes the
high spirit of the wearer.
When prominent politician fails to
please either his constituents or the ma
tional organization of his political party,
he is made to bear double blame, and fall
ure provolSes unmerciful chastisement-
from friends and foes alike.
The question comes to every politician,
'Is it worth it?''' Does political ambition
offer happiness or martyrdom?
But it is singular fact that the great
majority take no counsel with the expe-
rience and failures of those that have pre-
ceded them.
When they drop Qua by pressure of cir
cumstances, they are then filed with
conviction of the emptiness and unsatisfy-
ing nature of such mundane enterprises.
The real quality of the bubble they are
pursuing is never realized until it has per-
ished and a tiny drop of soapsuds is all
that remains of the glittering affair.
1t is more than probable that every ac-
tive politician reaches a place at some
time when he will agree with BalfOur,
who wrote, 1.-The wear and tear of the
soul are never recompensed; it steals
away the freshness of lfe:. it deadens its
vivid and social enjOy1ents; it shuts our
souls to our own youth, and we are old
ere we remember we have made a fever
and a labor of our raciest years.
On the other hand ancient Senaca once
remarked: IF you take away ambition
and vanity where will be your heroes and
patriots?''

Interest in the great horse show which
is to be held from October 14th through
to the 18th, has received a decided inn
petus since the announcement of the COM
ing of troop from Clusters old Seventh
cavalry and battery of Grimes battery
which was the first to get into the firing
lines around Santiago.
Both of these two branches of Uncle
Sans army will be represented by the
best drilled troops, and the rough riding
and feats of horsennanship of which both
are capable is something superb The
cavalry men are said to be the most dar-
ing horsemen in the country, and some of
their feats are hair raising as they dash
about in the tan bark arena. The bat
terry will go through fits evOlutions as
though on the battle field, and the spec
tacle of a full manned battery making
wild dash into position, Numbering and
preparing for action is one which Is worth
going miles to see. And Crimes battery
of artillery, during the fighting about San
tiago, beat them all to the firing lines and
never fell back an inch during the fight
ing. Every step was forward one, and
the battery was praised by the military
representatives of all the nations in un
stinted words.
The men will bring their own tents and
will camp just outside the horse show
building during the horse show, in itself
feature which will be OF great interest TO
the thousands of spectators.
A great deal of interest is being mani
tested all over the country in the horse
show and there is every prospect that the
show this year will be even better than
II has been in the past. The fact that the
horse show has been entered on the horse
show circuit ensures a better class of
entries than ever before.
]. Wylie Pope, of the horse show COM
mittee, writes from st. Louis that a
great deal of interest is being manifested
in the horse show even there. and that
many horses from the north are to be
sent to Atlanta. He writes that Mr. Aull,
who was to have beon one of the judges
of the horse show, y. i not be able to act
in that capacity. Mr.. Aull will exhibit
horses in Louisville and here and he does
not think he would be qualified to act as
a Judge in view of this fact. He is an ex-
pert Judge of horsefiesh, and much regret
has been expressed that he will not be
able to act.
Steps have been taken to have G. z.
Palmer, of Denver, and A. Z. Ashen-
brook, OF Kansas City, who are sending
a large string of horses to the show in
Louisville send their horses here as soon
as the horse show at Louisville is COM
pleted and have them exhibited here in
the horse show.
Both of these gentlemen have magnifi-
cent horses and their exhibit would be
one which would add much to the horse
show.

IL would be impossible 10 express in
fewer words our duty as Christians than
the text which l have chosen for ny
sermon today.
Love God above all things and thv
neighbor as myself" such is the epitome
OF the law which God revealed TO us In
the beginning by the mouths Of his proph-
cts. and finally by his only begotten son.
Every sermon preached to you Sunday
after Sunday, has for its object these two
great commandments Of the love OF God
and OF our neighbor. II you ask the
learned or the ignorant what are the
necessary conditions TO be saved. you re-
ceive the same answer, love God above
all things and your neighbor as yourself.
To know a commandment and practice It
ere two different things. Although in our
day IL is common TO cloak our actions I'M

and Of our neighbOr. yet our age Is most
lacking I'm that true love Of our neighbor.
Selhshness is the vice of our times. why
should we love our neighbor?

master we have promised to obey his
commands. Jesus, the love OF the father.

love of our neighbor.
often he rebuked the Pharisees for their
hardness of heart, and their want OF
charity. He showed them how vain were
their efforts to please God. IL their actions
proceeded from a heart lacking that es-
sential virtue-charity. His constant
theme was. Love one another as have
loved you" BY this shall all men know
that you are my disciples. IL you love one
another. st. John. the faithful follower
OF Jesus never tired repeating Little
children. love one another" In order TO
make US fully understand the meaning
Of this great precept. our Lord gave us
the golden rule as we find in the words
OF ST. Matthew, VII. y: "All things there
fore whatsoever you would that men
should do TO you. do you also to them.
For this is the law and the prophets"
The first condition then 70 love our
neighbor as our Lord wants us to love
him is TO be just towards him in all
things. in his reputation, material and
spiritual welfare.

object, but extending to everyone without
regard to state and station, learned or
ignorant, seeing in a fellow-man the i'm
age of God and as such deserving of our
love. Nothing less powerful than the
grace of God will enable us to render a
service to one whom we know will turn
against us; nevertheless, this we can do
IL we keep constantly before our minds
that our Master commands us to do good
to those that hate us At all times and in
all places we may find an opportunity to
practice this virtue. This world is filled
with occasions that will require us to be
charitable, and there is no excuse that
after all in our life we are not called upon
to NEEDLE with other peoples affairs
This reasoning is produced In a selfish
heart for it only cares for It's own well
fare. The interests of God are your in
terests. and your own interests are those
OF your fellow-man. No man stands alone,
no man can say I need no one. l am indie
pendent, for were he taken at his word,
IT soon would dawn upon him how much
dependent he is on his fellow-man. God
wished it thus, and hence gave the COM
mand of our loving one another in Him.
Alas, did everyone truly realize the hap
piness this virtue brings with 1t, the har-
mony it begets and the peace 1t brings to
the heart; all would strive to practice 1t
more faithfully, to acquire more certainly
and pray daily to God TO strengthen IL IN
their hearts. The world would be trans
formed from a place Of selhshness to one
of devotedness towards one another and
the spirit of Christ would dwell in every
human heart. No longer any strife be-
tween employer and servant, no longer
any contempt for the poor and ignorant by
the rich and learned. all would recognize
their work and fill the different states in
life living in perfect peace and harmony.
Brethren, let this commandment be your
breastplate that you may ever have 1t
before your eyes, let us not be to you SIM
ply a dead letter; but let your life show
forth to the world that you are true
disciple of Him who has taught you to
love all men, even those that hate you,
obeying the divine command, seeing in
your neighbor God Himself. In this wise
alone will you fulfill the law, loving one
another as Christ has loved you. Amen.

Ambition may be a cheat. but it never

that a desire to excel in craftsmanship is
not an honorable ambition. 1t may be that
crowns are uneasy fixtures, and political
distinction is uniformly attended by sad

out saying that he who strives is the only
one who succeeds: ne who ventures is

rifices himself for-the sake Of right. truth
and justice has not died ignobly.
But all statesmen have understood that
the rewards of their individual ambitions
have been very hollow results, and like
military prowess. the paths Of glory lead
but to the grave
Should it chance that Speaker Hender-
son had realized this hollowness-decided
that he had given all the time and self
sacrifice that he could spare from higher
ends and purposes in his life, then he will
be praised for his late resignation after
he is dead. but not now.
He is the butt of disappointed men in,
his own party, the president refuses to

step up on his shoulders to something bet

%- HE journals of the day all over
the United States, from Maine to
California, and from the lakes
to the gulf. are discussing
Speaker Henderson's motives for
resigning his distinguished position be-
fore the country. The critics are very
busy and the Republican leaders are all
agog. confronted with a situation which
has neither head or tail to 1t. to use
notwithstanding to take hold of.
Unless Speaker Henderson has deter
mined that the rewards of political am
bition are neither satisfying in pecuniary
advantage or conducive to place of mind;
his position is lnexplicable with due at
tention to the reasons he offers to the pub
lie.
The speakership is considered more val
liable than any other place below the
presidency. 1t is the stepping stone to
higher places, sometimes. than cabinet
place, and always more potential than the
vice presidents.
There is no use in Disgusting the fact
that his party has all chances for sue
cess in 1904. If he could be reelected in
Iowa. his present office of speaker is rea-
sonably sure to his grasp.
Money can elect in Iowa as in many
other states, and the trusts are not chary
with money when a call is made and they
desire to succeed.
Behind the resignation there are some
reasons not known to the public at this
time The speakers exalted personal char

domestic troubles. and we are obliged to
