No European ruler uses the tc,r.

SOURCES AND ELIMINATION.

Nearly five years ago I took two
earnest men of intelligence to room
in which was blackboard, and on
that blackboard We three tried to draw
an outline on the sources and elimina-
ton Of trouble. One of the young
men copied the attempt and later lost
it, He tried to reproduce it from mem
ory, but never succeeded l will give
it as near as l can with additions.
The sources of trouble are ignorance,
sickness, idleness. carelessness, dis
honesty, lack of training, laziness, in
competency, intemperance, misfor.
tune, disobeying law, morbid curios-
ity. gluttony and an unbridled tongue.
The elimination of trouble is to come
about by education, physical culture,
industry, diligence. righteousness, en-
ergy-growing. skill-acquiring, keeping
away from crowds, attending to your
own business while helping those who
are not able to return the compliment.
carefulness and forethought. good
shoes for your feet and healthful lit
erature for your head.
Please send me wlat you think
should be added to either of the above
lists, and as you look back to your
younger days, also give what you con-
slider the primary sources of desirable
forces? What part of your early life
has proven most useful later on?

ON NEGLECTED SUBJECTS.

Carl went south and made some
money, then came back to his old
village home. purchased a central
block of land, and this is what it was
and what he did to it.
A dramatic man. by buying several
houses and lots, secured the whole
block for his residence. He spent
a good deal of money on the place,
then abandoned it. When Carl Sc
cured the property it was a wilder
Less of underground of an unlimited
variety. 1t had good brick barn
and greenhouse, which had been rent
cd for a dwelling. Carl lived in that
while he tore down part of the big
wooden residence and improved the
place.
The best part of the residence was
sold and removed. With gang of
men and horses he cut down trees.
dug up shrubbery and plowed the
ground for grading and seeding.
At the end of year or SO he had
up modern house and was living
in it. One day while passing the place
with my father. I said to him that
would like to clean up some subjects
the same as Carl had done to that
place. Father replied that such a
thing would be possible.

about Carl in my memory that it is

me say to you that together we might
go at some subject which is now in

it might be better for you to think

THE "oIL sLINoER" MACHINE.

More than half of my life ago the
cashier of bank tapped on the win
dow as l was passing and motioned
me in. He was n StockhOlder in
factory and offered me place l had
been seeking. That was Thursday
afternoon and the last day of high
school for nc. The next morning at
seven O'Clock stood by big chuck
as one of seventy workers. My cloth
ing was not suitable for any machine
and the chuck machine was the worst
one on clothing. The boys smiled and
predicted a change in my appearance
very soon. My work was to knurl the
head of the long screw which moves
the jaw of a monkey wrench. In
those days the chuck had to be stop
ped and started for each screw; as
it started up the oil began to fly and
the faster the chuck revOlved the
greater the penetrating power OF the
Gil when it hit me. In order to do the
work l had to get in the way of the
oil; l did the work but traced the oil
from my clothing to the chuck and
the screw which came to me loaded
with it. The oil was secured in the
thread cutting machine where
steady stream ran on the die; some
would have seen all this at first
glance without thinking, but l did
not; / even studied the bearings as
the source of the trouble, before find
ing it on the screws. When l did find
the place of the trouble put bunch
of waste there and laid the screws on
it before putting them in the chuck;
the waste drew the oil off and the
machine lost its name. The machine
lost its name because | was disSatis-
fed with conditions. began tracing
the trouble and found the remedy.
When former workman at that
chuck visited the factory and asked
where oil had gone to. on being told
the plan he opened his eyes and said
nothing. He may have been thinking
about the amount of oil he had taken
home on his clothing. There are both
big and little opportunities in every
shop and factory for better methods
and originality, mutually useful to EN-.
ployer and cmploye.

THE SOURCES OF PLUCK.

Regarding the sources OF pluck a
few words are in order. 1t may be
due to the last straw approaching and
in desperation it is fought off and a
new kind of pluck acquired. 1t may
come by anger or righteous indigna-
lion. 1t may come by better care of
.he health, and a clearer view of the
goal. Danger, love, hope, ambition
and prayer invite pluck to come and
'emain. Just before great battles
some of the most successful COM
nanders in history have increased
heir pluck by appealing to their Crea-
or for help and favors.
