WORLDS FINEST VIEW FROM

The view from the summit of Look.
put Mountain is one of the grandest in
the world. do not know of any
other that compares with it, although
We have not been able to confirm the
interesting information we find in the
guide books that seven different states
are visible to the naked eye. We can
see Tennessee of course, which is one,
and Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia,
which are four. The man who wrote
the guide book was able to identify
three, more states, but he does not
name them. 1t is possible, however,
that his vision was so superior to that
Of ordinary men that it could take in
New Jersey. North Carolina and Texas
in it's comprehensive sweep. However
it is true, as the guide book says. that
the view from its lofty summit is
one of exceptional grandeur and ex-
tent and mo effort of the magma
ton can picture the magnificence of
the grand panorama outspread before
1ne at this elevation"
The summit of Lookout Mountain is
$500 feet above the level of the sea,
and the hotel is 1,7Co feet above the
city of Chattanooga. The situation is
similar to that OF the famous Sparrow
Hills, overlooking Moscow, which ex-
perienced travellers declare commands
he grandest spectacle in all the world,
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1903-06-18

but the altitude of the Sparrow Hills
is only about 700 feet above the city,
while that Of Lookout Mountain is
three times as great. The Volga river
winds around the city of Moscow very
much as the Tennessee river embraces
Chattanooga, but in the former case
the 'habitations of 100000 people,
built of picturesque Oriental architec-
ture and adorned with dazzling colors,
form the center of the panorama, and
if one has the patience he can count
$50 gilded domes.
The fortresses, the palaces, and the
cathedrals of Moscow are lacking here,
but instead we have groups of gloomy
looking factories, from which tall
clouds of smoke arise; bright strips
Of steel crossing each other at sharp
angles show where the railways run;
groups of homelike cattages, surround
ed by gardens and shaded lawns, light
up the landscape, and beyond and sur
rounding them on the north are the
blue outlines of the Cumberland noun
tains, to the east historic scenes of
Missionary Ridge, with the Great
Smokes in the background, and on
the western side the lower peaks of
the Eaccoon mountains, where twi-
light always seems to dwell-William

famous artist, Ito confide in ones self,
and be something of value" When
this is ones mental attitude toward
ones self, long step has been taken
in the path of success.
Self-confidence is the offspring OF
self-respect. Ito think meanly of
ones self is to sink" Feel yourself
and be not daunted by things" Those
are the precepts which inspire men to
worthy, if not famous, achievements.
A great deal may be expected of a
man who, in a new. difficult and un-
tried position, acts as if he had the
right to be there. 1t is related that
the Saxons were taught to believe
that they would be first, and the ag-
gressive energy of the race may be
due to this primitive inspiration.
Though it may seem an affection
the young man who stands alone has
an opportunity to test his manhood,
and such opportunities should be vel
coined. Go forward with hope and

cess. Self-conf1dence can never be
learned in seclusion. 1t is nurtured
in the school of the world, by contact
with men in touch with affairs. OF
course, it will be understood that we
are not encouraging the overweening
self-confidence that despises the ad-
vice of experience; but we must learn
to try our own wings, to trust to our
own powers, if we are to make notable
progress in the world.-Philadelph

TO be burned at the grave of the great
man, and thus accompany his spirit
into the other world that he might be
attended by such servants and friends
as befitted his station. The room was
filled with mourners in blue and white
robes mingling with the many visitors.
Outside in court there was a glori-
GUS feast-whole roasted pigs that
might tempt the appetite of the most
spiritual ghost and cakes and other
material delicacies to be placed upon
he grave.
When the funeral procession started
from the house it was preceded by a
regulation American band. playing a
