IT he has the courage to preach we'll to pTac-
tice, his influence is great on those about him. A
thousand such young men in their actual lives can
do as much good as a great many clergymen or hon
est editors.
Every young woman has chance to do her share
Of the work. II she is selfrespecting and inspires
in the young men that meet her a high idea of WOm-
anhOOd, she is helping to push along the develop
ment of humanity in her little corner of life. Incl
dentally she is preparing herself for wise marriage
and that most useful of all work, the addition of
really good children to the population
And let us not forget that good work should be
recognized and praised thrOughout all degrees Of
fortune.
The man that digs his ditch or lays his bricks
honestly, making life comfortable and secure for
others, is useful and praiseworthy.
The engineer that takes his rushing train and a
thousand passengers safely through the night, help
ing commerce and the exchange of commodities,
making life safe through his pnnctuaty and nerV-
Gus force, is one OF the pusbers.
The very successful, the ablest and many OF the

most useful of them.
The senseless denuneiatiOn of legitimate wealth is

The United States is nation OF great progress.
It's growth has merely begun.
We need in this country the abest minds, the
most energetic men. Europe has sent them to as in
the past, we have developed them and encouraged
In these days the highest reward that one man or
a body Of men can offer to another is apparently
great sum Of money
That great Of money, at least is what the able
men In America the powerful pusher, to-day wants.
If he wants it he should have, for the laborer is
worthy Of his hire and should be prepared IN this
country to pay the highestlegimate prices not only
for eight hours Of honest manual work each day, but
for eight minutes or eight seconds Of the inspired
work which develops agreat idea and involves, per
haps emplOyment'l for thousands
Who would ne foolish enough 70 denounee the
large fortune Of the man that invented the Bessemer
steel process adding thousands Of millions Of dollars
to the wealth Of this country aonei He was only
hall paid, no matter how much he got.
And the man that ID any direction works to develop
the country, to give employment to others, to make
new homes, open new territory, devise industri
es is great beneiactor we'll worthy Of his hire as
ab0rer in the higher fields America should be pre-.
pared always to encourage him and pay him gladly
and ungrudgngly the highest price for the highest
pushing ability.
II q man uses bis brains and money TO build q
railroad II a new place, developing agriculture,
backing his good Judgment with bis capital making
an opening for many industries and many homes,
that man should be encouraged and rewarded to the
full.

There are some who firmly believe that the prae-

immense amount of harm to the American people.
But seriously it is generally accepted view that
starting to work Immediately after hearty meal is
not prudent aud often produces injurious results.
One trouble with Americans, and especially dur
ing the rush and hustle Of the last few years, is that
they gulp down their food in few minutes and do
not half masticate it. The bad effects Of this are
generally admitted, and yet tis hard to Impress the
