HURON COLLEGE GETS DONATION
New York Man Puts the CoIleue Out
of Debt.

Huron college has received another
liberal cash donation; it comes from
Horace E. Sillman of Cohoes, New
York, and is sufficient to pay off all re-
naming accounts for current expenses
OF the institution for the year Just
closed, and allows the college to be-
gin the new year free from debt.
Much extra expense was made the
past year because of the necessity of
fitting up the fourth story of the col
.lege building for dormitory and school
purposes; this was occasioned by the
unexpected large increase in attend
ance.
The Presbyterian board Of aid for
colleges at its late meeting appropri-
ated as a special gift from the treas
ury, in addition to their regular ap-
prOpriatiin of $4,000, the sum of 81, 500
for the current expenses of the college
for the present year, which sum-, with
that just received from DR.. Silliman,
are very acceptable gifts and greatly
appreciated by the faculty and friends
OF the institution.

The Power of Prompt Decision.

The man who makes up his mind quickly and firmly
has an infinitely better chance Of than the who
is always lowering the brink of hesitation and
tanty The temptation to open up and reconsider should
be cut off Immediately for to be weak your power of
decision is to be shorn of most of your strength.
One of the most dangerous habits in which youth
indulge is that of weighing, balancing reconsderng
and making up his mind and yet again reconsdering, bal
ancng and weighing all the arguments for and against
until the BRAIN becomes confused and incapable of clear
Judgment Such habit of the greatest disspaors
OF mental power, and the who allows himself to he
come its victim is foredoomed to failure.
young man who starts out to succeed must resolve
firmly that he will not become prey to ndecsion that he
will suffer the consequences of mistakes rather than be
forever digging matters de He should make up
his mind MOTTO act hastily without proper consideration
OF the thing in hand but to use his best Judgment arrv
ing at decision and them without hesitation reconsid
Grafton of the arguments for and against try to execute it
with all his might If he finds he has made mistake he
must not be discouraged he has had new experience,
which will prove helpful to him in the future and the ben
eft accrung to him from the practice of lf-reiance
prompt unwavering decision will be Of infinitely greater
value to him than successful move would have been had
he hesated, weighed and considered reconsdered and
changed his mind over and again before making a
final decision.
Many people of great ability do not succeed to any
tent because of the weakness of their power of decision
They seem incapable of acting Independently. They
must their friends and consult their neghbors before
they tell what to do about the simplest thing They
must think it and until the brain grows weary
Of the treadm round forced upon it, and the more they
think it over the consultations they have about it,
the less able they to reach any conclusion So they 90
through life, hating uncertain robbed of their strength
deprived of the large they fitted by their ab

themselves, and to decide prompty-Plae Makers Critic
