CHAPTER III.
SIMPLICITY OF THOUGHT


TT is not alone among the practical
manifestations of our life that
there is need of making a clear
L ing; the domain of our ideas Is in
the same case. Anarchy reigns in hui
man thought. We walk in the woods
without compass or sun, lost among
the brambles and briers of infinite de-
tail.
When once man has recognized the
fact that he has an aim, and that this
aim is to be man, he organizes his
thought accordingly. Every mode OF
thinking or judging which does not
make him better and stronger he re-
jects as dangerous.
And first of all he fees the too com
mon contrariety of amusing himself
with his thought Thought Is a tool,
with its own proper function; 1t isn't
toy. Let us take an example. Here Is
the studio of painter The implements
are all in place; everything indicates
that this assemblage of means Is ar
ranged with view to an end. Throw
the room open to apes. They Will climb
on the benches, swing from the cords,
rig themselves in draperies, Golf them
selves with slippers, juggle with brush
es. nibble the colors and pierce the can
vases to see what is behind the paint.
l don't question their enjoyment. Ger
tainly they must find this kind OF ex-
ercise extremely interesting. But an
atelier is not made to let monkeys
loose in. No more Is thought ground
for acrobatic evolutions A man worthy
of the name thinks as he is, as his
tastes are; he goes about 1t with his
whole heart, and not with that itful
and sterile curiosity which, under pre-
text of observing and noting every
thing, runs the risk of never experience
ing q deep and true emotion or accom-
plishing a right deed.
Another habit in urgent need Of cor
rection, ordinary attendant on conven-
tional life, Is the mania for examining
and Analysing oneself at every turn.
do not invite men to neglect intro
spection and the examination OF con-
science. The endeavor to understand

his deeds man arrives at pett
By CHARLES WAGNER

his deeds man arrives at better
knowledge of life. Its law appears to
him, and the law is this: Work out
your mission. He who applies himself
to aught else than the realization of
this end loses in living the raisoD detre
of life. The egotist does so. the pleas
ure seeker, the ambitious; he con-
sumes existence as one eating the full
corn in the blade: he prevents it from
bearing its fruit; his life is lost. Who
ever. on the contrary, makes his life
serve a good higher than itself, saves 1t
In giving it. Moral precepts which to
a superficial view appear arbitrary and
seem made to spoil our zest for life
have really but one object-to preserve
us from the evil of having lived in
vain. That is why they are constantly
leading us back into the same paths;
that is why they all have the same
meaning: Do not waste your life; make
1t bear fruit; learn how to give 1t in
order that 1t may not consume itself.
Herein is summed up the experience of
humanity, and this experience, which
each man must remake for himself, Is
more precious In proportion as it costs
more dear. Illumined by its light, he
makes a moral advance more and more
sure. Now he has his means of orien-
tation, his internal norm to which he
may lead everything back, and from
the vacillating. confused and complex
being that he was he becomes simple.
By the ceaseless influence of this same
law. which expands within him and is
day by day verified in fact, his opin-
ions and habits become transformed.
Once captlvated by the beauty and
sublimity Of the true life, by what is
sacred and pathetic In this strife of
humanity for truth, justice and broth
erly love, his heart holds the fascina-
ton of it. Gradually everything sub
ordinates itself to this powerful and
persistent charm. The necessary HER
archy of powers Is organized within
him; the essential commands, the Sec
ondary obeys, and order is born of sim
plicity. We may compare this organ
ization of the interior life to that Of
an army. An army is strong by Its dis
cipline, and its discipline consists In re-
spect of the inferior for the superior
and the concentration of all its ener-
gies toward single end. Discipline
once relaxed, the army suffers. 1t will
not do to let the corporal command the
general. Examine carefully your life
and the lives of others. Whenever
something halts or Jars and complica-
lions and disorder follow it is because
the corporal has issued orders to the
general Where the natural law rules
in the heart disorder vanishes
l despair Of ever describing simplici-
ty in any worthy fashion. All the
strength of the world and all its beau
ty, all true joy, everything that con-
soles, that feeds hope or throws ray
of light along our dark paths, every
thing that makes us see across our
poor lives splendid goal and bound
less future, comes to us from people Of
simplicity, those who have made an
other object of their desires than the
passing satisfaction of selfishness and
vanity and have understood that the
art of living is to know how to give
ones life

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

RussellVille Ark, May II, 1904
This is 10 certify that the Consumers
Ice and Coal company, of Pine Bluff,
Arkansas, are tire exclusive agents for
the celebrated "Ouita" Anthracite
coal in Pine Bluff, and any other dealer
claiming to sell "Ouitaa coal is de
frauding the public, and will be pros
ecuted 10 the full extent of tho law.
The quality and reputation of our
coal is such that dealers and jcbbers
have been selling coal not only ia
Pine Bluff but in great many other
places as "Ouita" coal and have simp
ly gulied the public by substituting
an inferior grade Of coal. We have
not shipped to nor scld any of our
coal in Pine Bluff since December
1901.
We have recently increased the ca
pacity Of our mines and will fill all
orders placed with the Consumers Ice
and Coal company with the genuine
"Ouita."

Shocked the Court,

A writer in Law Notes, speaking OF
the late John MacMahon. says: Mac
Mahon's style was painfully heavy. his
utterance little thick, and he was en-
tirely devoid of hunor. HIS hearing It
times was not of the best. and for that
reason he thought it was the hest poll.
cy to agree with any remark that might
be made by the judge before whom he
was appearing, even though he did not
happen to hear what had been said
On one occasion he was appearing be-
fore a master of the rolls, who thought
that MacMahon Was arguing rather
elementary law for such a court as his.
You are speaking as if | were mere
tyro in the law. Mr.. MacMahon. said
the master Of the rolls testify. Quite
so, my lord said counsel airily. pro-
ceeding with his argument, oblivious
to and regardless of what the Judge
