ser's speech:
Mr.. Chairman and Ladies and Gen
tlemen:-This is truly a bright spot in
my life. I am glad to be here. The
Santa Fe railway system has taken a
very high position among intelligent
people in the country, as an educa-
tional force and the work they are do
ing for their employees is receiving the
approval of the great colleges and uni
versities of the land.
I congratulate the management of
the Santa Fe for this position in the
world of thought and letters. It is
grand in this age of dollars and COM
mercia1 extension, to find a mighty
corporation that stands out boldly for
knowledge and truth. I wish I could
connect this meeting tonight by tele-
phone with every one of the $1,000 en-
ployes of the Santa F'e. 1 wish they
might all catch the spirit that is reg
nant here. My mind goes out over the
deserts where much of my work is laid.

said to me: Don't you think that such
educational work among the employees
will cause them to desire better
clothes. finer houses to live in, and
higher wages to support them?" I an
swered, Yes but the Santa Fe is
not an institution of the dark ages.

this building to the trustees of the as
sociation. The Good Book teaches us it
is more blessed to give than to receive,
and since it is in the Good Book it must
be true. But it seems to me that the
most blessed thing is to be able to ap-
preciate a gift The people of this
world are not apt to appreciate what
they have. The way to show the appre-
citation you feel for this building is to
use it. Use it for the upbuilding of a
good Christian citizenship and sturdy
young manhood, and with the great
hopes that it will be used for this pur-
pose, I give it to you

brighter minds, stronger characters and
happier homes.
If 1 were making a speech tonight I
should say three things: % This build
ing is dedicated to a sublime opDor-
tunity for all employees. The word OPP
portunity means standing at an open
door. The Latin words 'ob'' and
''portus," of which the word is formed,
means at a door. An ocean port is
door open cut to the wider sea. This
building is a door thrown open to
wider, larger. grander life for the en-
ploye. It is therefore a splendid OPP
portunity and many will use this door
to better conditions.
o. I should say, this building is
dedicated to true and beautiful char
acter. 1t stands for manhood. 1t is an
aid to develop a man physically, moral
~ and spiritually and that means
heaven on earth and heaven always.
90 I Should say, this building is
dedicated to the world in which we live
now, not to some imag inary world we
hope to come to by and by. Many peo-
pie make themselves miserable in figur-
ing on the conditions of the future life
don't know anything about the next
world and don't want to know. The
fact that I am here is a strong argu-
ment that God wants me here and he
evidently wants me to stick to the pres
ent and not fuss about the future. 1
had nothing to do with my coming here
and I hope to have nothing to do with
tended me to work for Mars or Jupiter,
he would have sent me to one of those
worlds.
My dear friend, it is this world you
are to strike at, not some other. Don't
worry about the next life; take proper
care Of this. Knock the rough edges off
this world. Make it your heaven.
1t is not so important to get into heaven
when you die to get heaven into you
now and scatter it. What you are in the
next life will be but a continuance of
what you are here. If you are not much
of a man here, you won't be over there.
You will begin the next where you leave
this. Don't be afraid of death. The good
man is not afraid to die. Death is only
an open door through which we pass into
a grander world. Death is q splendid OPP
portunity oh, let me ask you to aim this
building at this world.
You can give it to God all you want to.
but give it to God who is all around you
in your fellow men. Dedicate it to good
nature, to winsome smiles, to kind words,
to large ambitions. to rugged and reliable
characters and to homes suggestive of
heaven
ESQ live that when your summons comes
to join the innumerable caravan,
You go not like the quarried slave to
your dungeon,
J. But sustained and soothed by unfal-
tering trust approach

perry of his couch about him

RICH MEN ARE
NOT ALL HAPPY.
Cresus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
of His Own, and There Are Others.


Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller of
the kingdom of Lydia, was very we'll
TODD in worldly goods and chattels.
Gas rich as Croesus" is a saying about
$500 years old. He had his troubles,
however, and some of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from be-
ing burned alive by quoting a saying
of Scion. the Sage. He finally had to
fee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods at
irregular times, lack of proper exer-
else, undue mental strain, unnatural
stimulants, ETC., and are commonly
known as Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach. They are serious trou-
bles all right, but not only can they
be avoided but can also be cured, and
that without loss of time or proper food
and nourishment.

poor alike. There is no such. thing as

have effected and the happiness result
ing therefrom have made their name
a household word throughout the land.
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's can be told in a word. They act
ually do the work that the weak and
wasted stomach is unable to do and
allow it to recuperate and regain its
strength. They contain all the essen
tial properties that the gastric juice
and other digestive fluids do, and they
digest the food just as a sound and
well stomach would. They relieve the
stomach just as one rested and re-
freshed workman relieves the one on
duty that is tired and worn, and Ma
ture does her own work of restoration.
1t is a simple, natural process that a
child can understand. You can eat all
you want without fear of results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at so cents a box.
Druggists all know better than to try
to get along without them, as the de-
mand for them Is great and universal.
