ATTENDING TO
YOUR OWN BUSINE Sc.

This is hard thing to do, diff
cult lesson to learn and the very es-
sence Of safety and success. Some
people are so busy attending to the
business OF other people that they
neglect their own affairs. Some there
are who have never learned their
limitations; they lead sort of pirat-
ical existanco; they are consequently
outlawed-branded as pestiferous
fellows who deserve to be severely
handled. The man who attends to
his own business has no time to med.
die with the affairs Of others. More
over, he is man not much given to
speaking his mind on every and any
occasion. He is not forever prowl-
ing around the back door Of his neigh
boris house, nor seeking to get hold
OF the secrets Of his competitors.
Consequently, he leads a peaceful
life. He knows more Of the good
about him than he does of the evil.
1t comes to pass that true hearts
open and receive him as welcome
guest. He becomes conservative
element in society and helps to hold
things to secure foundation. Dig.
nifty sits upon his brow and content
ment reigns in his heart. When he
dies men sincerely mourn and the
fragrance of his life lives Tor many a
year after the grave has received his
body.

to live at home. did you see any
'mooushiners?' Yes. number of
them and got to know them pretty well.
We did not feel that we had any govern
ment contract to suppress their activities,
and we took pains to let them know that
we were not after any row. Soon after
our arrival one stone-faced individual
with long, muzz!e loader rifle resting
on his arm came up to our camp fire.
He came to spy out the land. "TIowdy."
was all he said for ten minutes. We
got to know him quite well before we
left, fished with him, hunted with him,
invited him to eat with US. II he ever
averaged over one word to ten minutes,
failed to hear them But he could
shoot that old muzzle loading rifle! l
said to him: "Can you tell us how to
shoot these trout? We shoot and miss
every time" He made no reply, but led
the way to the stream near by, waded
right in and began ascending the steam
with Parsons and myself close on his
heels. After going few steps, up to
his shoulders flew the rihs-but-'ping"
--and the white belly of trout came to
the surface, A few steps more-''ping,"
and another. This went on for some
time. After the "ping'' came the
stunned body of the fish to the s!ifface.
He either could not or would not talk,
but he could shoot! "Look here, man,
I'D hate to have man like you after
me, If l were revenue officer" said
to him. Parsons spoke up: "Are there
any stills around here?" Nope /"
But suppose fellow got snake biie?'
persisted Parsons. ''Let him die"
Some DAYS later, and after we had sue
ceeded in getting into the good graces of
this stope-faced, monosyllabic inhabitant
or Gods country" he came up one day
and said: Like little?" "Lit tie
what" l replied. "L'qlor." "W ell
not today. If a snake should bite one
"t us we would be glad to get n little.'"
.'Lemme know" was his reply. Said
|: I'VE are not after your stills. Just
FOR the satisfaction of knowing. / want
to ask if there are any stills near here"
Plenty" "Where are they?" asked
He nodded his head in one direction and
said, lover there" And in another and
aid, cover there" 1t turned out tha,
there were several close by. We were
even invited to 60 and see them. This
We refused to do, for we were attending
strictly to our own business-restine

the land of the sky" There are MANY
more. incidents that might be put down

but this story might grow too long.
We arrived home after mouths STAY

our experience. But the busy routine

sweet to have the word OF encourage
ment from our fellowmen. 1t nerves
us to greater effort. But a man is
not meeting his responsibilities be-
cause Of the praise of men; he finds
duty in his path. Like true man
he goes into the performance Of that
duty. This way is sometimes lonely,
it is often thankless, it is seld ,m the
way to lavish praise. But it is q way
that leads to self-respect, to sound
reputation and to lasting good In
fact, it is the only way open to
heart that beats true and soul that
rests in safety. With kindness iD
our hearts for every man, with deep
convictions Of duty, let us go forward.
Praise or no praise, this path leads to
the heights whereon the noble men
of earth dwell.

SELF-MAS STERY.

No man need boast Of any achieve
ment that crowns the activities of
his life until he has fought and won
the one supreme battle in human
life-the mastery Of self. All other
hills may be asccnded, but towering
above them is this one great height.
Wealth, fame, knowledge, experience,
skill-these are worth while provided
they come into the life of a man who
has attained to the best of all things
- body dominated by lofty mind,
mind in harmony with that which
is eternal and Invisible. Without
this mental poise wealth, fame,
Knowledge, experience and skill do
but add to the madness Of the fury
that leads to reckless death. Is a
man better tnan the brute il his bod
lily appetites control his activities?
Is not the brute so led? But how
can this worthy end be attained? 1t
is not in the power of wealth to give
it, for many OF the richest Of earth
are most sadly lacking in selt-control
i is not the bequest of knowledge,
for many of those most deeply versed
in-ueesaaay~ ,rurKlng in the one best
possession Of human heart. Many
Of those whose names are famous in
the annals of history were sadly de-
ficient at this vital point. Sslfcon-
troll is the suit and product of faith
1t is true that this faith may be "of
the earth earthly" Yet, faith in
something, in some body, in some
being outside Of self is necessary to
an abiding rest upon sure founda-
tions. Without faith human lie
must be swept onward without an
abiding rest upon sure foundations.
Without faith human life must be
swept onward over an unknown and
stormy sea towards dark and forbid
ding shores. And why should it not
be said the faith that ranges toward
the stars, the faith that links human
ity to the throne of God-this is the
best of all rudders for the guidance
of the ship over the sea Of life. Every
man is believer. 1t may be that
his faith ranges no higher than the
earth. Even such a faith puts in
man principal that enables the will
to say to the body: "Thus far thou
shalt go, no further" OF how much
greater glory then is the faith that
sweeps the armament ard anchors
itself to the throne OF God! The one
sublime need Of this cold and sordid
age is faith in God.
