A Source OF Judgment
While acquiring technical skill you
grow good judgment faster than in
any other way.
Many Times.
Technical skill makes machine
which does more with common ability
than great ability can do without the
machine.
Improved Life by Skill.
Has technical skill done more to i'm
prove and prolong life than personal
ability has done for technical skill?
Helps Us Prepare.
The best help in preparing for sue.

technical skill. Association with the
skillful is source Of ability.
Also Driftwood.
Ability without skill is driftwood

Ability must have some skill OF some
kind in order to do anything.
What Some Employers Say.
When they want help and advertise
for it they are able to find plenty OF
people with semitechnical skill, but
to find anyone out of work who is
thoroughly skillful is very uncom

teach the poorly taught. Young PEG

FOR PERSONAL ABILITY.
The Roots OF the Tree.


You might say that personal ability
Is the man himself-the source of
everything done.
Judgment Must Lead.
Rules and systems fail often to pre-.
vent errors of judgment
Ability Must Exist.
No mechanical device can make hui
man intelligence and watchfulness un.
necessary In connection with It.
Life Before skill.
The experts say that the personnel
of the navy is more valuable than the
type of ship used.
Source Of Success.
There Is no permanent success with.
out a preparation and personal abil.
ity is the preparation for technical
skill.
Simply Driftwood.
Is II easier for ability to acquire
skill than for skill to acquire ability?
Skill without ability is only driftwood.
Ability Has Forethoueht.
An adult without technical skill of
some kind lacks forethought, which
Is main element of ability. SO that
ability will possess technical skill.
He Broke the Globe.
An expressman who had skill to
handle trunk, lacked ability. in the
form of a forethought, to see the
porch light globe and the trunk
smashed it He had plenty of skill
to carry the trunk around tho light
but he lacked ability to direct that
skill.
Ability Backs You Up.
A little man had skill enough to hit
big man on the head with an UNI
brella, but he did not have ability II
back up his skill and in the end he
got the worst of it. Ability would
have caused him to wait and manage
in way to have the big man kick
himself.

A LETTER FROM THE PAST.

1t is sometimes interesting to bark
back a few decades and bring back some
of the forgotten episodes of the great
war between the States. The recent
ly published letters of John Ruskin,
the great English writer and critic,
reveal some of his ideas about the
gigantic struggle that was going on
on this side the water. The letters
were written to Charles Elliott Norton,

This was written in 1868, and while
the issues of that day are now almost
ancient history 1t Is interesting TO
Southern people to recall how one of
the most eminent English scholars and
thinkers regarded the position taken
by the North. and what he thought of
the proclamation of emancipation.

A wABBLY ARGUMENT.

The New York Press speaks of Sec
illustration" and then quotes the fol-
lowing from one of his speeches as
illustrating Its point:
On this subject the Republican Party
wabbled for a time and stumbled once
or twice, but, as in other instances,
ultimately regained It's equilibrium.
ry after wabbling for time and
stumbling frequently, finally expressed
its mature Judgment in its Chicago
platform of 1896, which 1t reafirmed in
1900, and neither retracted nor apollo
gized for in 1904.
The Press must be exceedingly hard
pushed If it can find nothing better
than this to commend Shaw for. That
the Republicans wabbled on the money
question Is true enough, and they were
ON the wrong side of it'll the Demo-
Gratis forced them to sound money. The
Press knows perfectly well that many
of the strongest and most influential
Republican leaders were as ardent free
silver men as Mr.. Bryan himself. 1t
was the financial idiocy of the Demo-
Gratis, on the one hand, and the wonder
full increase in gold production on the
other. aided, also, by the soundness and
firmness of Mr.. Cleveland, that finally
drove the Republican Party to the gold
standard. If the Democrats had been
guided by Cleveland and had taken a
firm and unmistakable stand for sound
money the Republican Party would
have continued to wabble to this good
day.
Nor is the Secretary any nearer to
accuracy when he asserts that in the
free silver mania and the Chicago plat
from the Democratic Party expressed
its mature Judgment" or. as Mr.. Shaw
charges by implication, that opposition
to sound money was and is typical of
Democracy. There was nothing mature
or Democratic about it.~Mr. Cleveland
was right. and many of the best and
strongest Democrats in the Union were
In thorough accord with him, but they
were powerless to still the unrest and
cure the mania which seized the Party
and eliminated in the suicidal folly of
off after the free coinage jack-o-
lantern. and the platform and candi-
date of the Chicago convention was
merely an additional shove on the down
grade.
1t is possible that our opponents can
find some real cause of criticism in the
acts of the Democratic Party, pat they
had better refrain from throwing
stones at us about the financial record
of the two parties. Their own record
on the question is composed of exceed
from the Democratic guns would make
short work of 1t.

wrapped in mystery or open to the day,
hundred denotements showed forth
what was passing in the stateman's
mind. Fishing did not take him away
from politics. It merely gave a novel
turn to the excitement and struggle he
constantly maintained amongst men.
In so simple a matter as impaling a
live bait, the Senator may very we'll
have tickled his fancy by naming the
small fish after some obnoxious Phila-

when the bold tarpon is at length
caught, fastened hard at the distant end
of the mighty line and the play begins
in dead earnest, for life and liberty on
the one hand, for triumphant display
of skill on the other. what thing more
natural than to liken the thrilling con-
test to the last great struggle for the
Senatorship from Pennsylvania. Analo-
gies might be pursued Indefinitely and
be made to cover the entire Geld of
statesmanship. Captain Sooy has
given us a wholly new glimpse Of the
