Personality.

Personality warns life into color and
thrills it into music. Negative, neutral
men are of no power and Of small value.
Purity is essential to strength-purity in
the unseen hour and place. Faith is the
bond that links men to the unseen and
binds them to the Eternal. Tell me the
depths of q mans passion and J will tell
you the measure of his strength. The
men who are surest of God dominate the
race and lead it farthest toward the heav-
emily heights. The man who stands for
something has a place and force in the
world. He exerts a personal power in de-
termining events. The motive that took
Jesus to the Cross is the motive that in
spires the best in character and that i'm
pels to the highest in service. Personally
it is not the prerogative of any class. 1t
IS the possibility of every human being.
Ancestry cannot bequeath it. Wealth can.
not create it. Poverty cannot crush it..
1t IS not communal. 1t is personal. Men
OF conviction and courage, men of purity
and passion, men of pugnacious dogmat-
ism, but withal of balance and level-head.
edness, having a healthy grip on the COM
mon sense Of things, are the men who al.
ways rule our life. All who trust God and
live in the spirit and character of the
Christ enter into the secret of the person.

men with love of their ideal.-Sentences

WROTE HIS TITLE CLEAR.
Humorous Indian Tells Good Story on
His Superior.


His Superior.
Gen. Pratt has quite a fund of in
teresting experiences from his twenty
five years service as Superintendent
of the Carlisle Indian school.
One of the earlier students was Sam
Six Killer, who took up the printers
art at the school and became not only
quite proficient, but a universal IA
vorite in the office and school be-
cause of his ready wit. One time it
became necessary for the Superintend-
ent, then Capt. Pratt, to discipline
Sam for some prank, and he was
taken out of the office for several
days. When he entered the office on
his return to duty Sam received quite
an ovation from his brother typos. and
said:
Fellows, come here. 1 want to tell
you a dream l had last night" When
all the boys had gathered around.
Sam said:
i dreamed last night that the world
had come to an end and everybody
ran out of their houses and was look
ing up. l asked what for, and they
said the names of all who were to
be saved would be found written in
the sky. So 1 looked and looked
every place, but could not find Sam
Six Killer anywhere; but there was

sky in the Captains own handwrit-

Shocked by 1000 Volts; Lives.


Although 1000 volts of electricity
coursed through his body for about fif.
teen minutes, Michael Gallery, of
Plainfield, will live. He was at work
on a pole, when he came in contact
with a live wire and was shocked into
Inconsistencies and then hung sus,
pended in midair. Persons in the street
saw his plight, but were unable to help
him until one man thought of summon
ing the Fire Department. A ladder
was raised against the pole. and by
passing a rope around Caffery's body
he was lowered to the ground. He re-
gained consciousness through a physic-
ian's efforts and was able to step into
an ambulance. His arms and legs
were frightfully burned and two fin.
gers will have to be amputated.
