People do not outgrow it. The man who
calls out ''unberufen'' after such boast
does not mean to echo a peasant supersti-

out of the old heather notion common in
all lands that it is not we'll to attract the
attention OF the gods to conspicuous good
luck. In many continental European COM
munties it is considered bad luck to praise
the beauty of a child. The stranger does
not win gratitude. but the reverse, by say

loving mother may under the circumstances

Among modern Mohammedan tribes the
Koranic law against making craven
images survives IN a superstitious fear of

Why Many Young Men Fail.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t Is the fault and the cause of the fall
ure OF so many bright, capable young
men that. being put into a certain
work-day rut, they make no effort to
climb or even crawl out of 1t: they
do not seek the work that is not
routine and go beyond the terms of the
bond in search of additional labor in order
to attract the approving notice of their
employers. They do not go to their posts
before nor remain at them after the fixed
hour. They are content to do enough. and
no more than enough, to earn their hire.
The life OF the average clerk Is generally
genteel. easy. Clearly; he need not soil
his hands nor his clothes and his ambition

The Disappointed.

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the height Of famet
! sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim
i sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands In the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
/ sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost In sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break In silence
With sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers.
Who share loves tender pain;
I sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
l sing with a heart o'erhowing,
This minor strain today.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep In space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless II held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

Mr.. Helmicks four exhibits were all

not more than 16 by 81 inches in dimensions.
All were framed without mats, and each

showed a gardener sitting on his wheel
barrow smoking his pipe and contentedly
watching the sunset over the borderland;
while in the fourth one beheld an old man

condition, to find in this declaration
anything with which to quarrel. Even
those who deny to the individual the
right to act on his own Judgment in
matters affecting his relations to his
employer, on the ground that his social
obligation is to cooperate with what
ever organized labor deems for the gen.
eral good, will scarcely deny that one
labor organization stands on much the
same plane as another, and that II the
aims and purposes of two are found at
variance, the right to judge between
them is every mans privilege.
=" 1t is not at all surprising that the
aggreSSiveneSS, intolerance and ylo-
lence of some of the unions have in
vited revolt through opposing organi-
cations. In all probability the move
ment will spread and become factor
of Importance in future labor move
ments. No large proportion OF the
wage earners of the United States is
now or ever was enrolled in the mem
bership of the trades unions, and OF
those who are it is safe to assume that
very few approve of or are in sympathy
with the means which have been en-
plOyed in so many recent instances TO
cause strikes when they lacked a
moral basis in real grievances. The
position of the unions which have been
the storm centerS Of disturbance has
been much more vulnerable than their
leaders have found it agreeable to adj
nit. Men disguised and ashamed OF
their excuses may not be ready to sur
render membership and face the issue
single-handed but if they can form
new and stronger alliances in unions
organized for sane purposes and
pledged to maintain law and order, to
respect life and property, and to dis
courage excesses of all kinds, they will
be very apt to cast their lot with those
who stand for good citizenship. There
are enough of these TO render the
unions powerless for blind mischief by
simple withdrawal from the ranks q
