Those who are seeking through
study Of superior men to. make them
selves at least less inferior are often
puzzled and baf1ed by the discovery
OF characteristics that seem absolute
ly incompatible with greatness. There
is hardly a great man whose life is at
all accurately known in whom there
was not a weakness that would de-
stroy. an ordinary man-sometimes
mental weakness, as utter lack. of
Judgment; sometimes moral weak
ness; again, physical weakness.
But is there on record a single case
of great man who had not. through
his character a certain toughness of
fiber which made him free from the
common weakness of whining and
rushing about for refuge at the first
black lift of adversely? Is not that
fundamental sense of insecurity, or
inability to stand alone, the great en-
envy we all have to fight? Is it not
the enemy that drives some to the
false courage of drink others to stink
and crawl along the byways of indi-
rection and crime, many, many others
to resign the guidance OF their desti-

Romance of a Farm

A romantic story, one in which a
number of stirring Incidents are relat-
ed, is told of a little farmhouse and
forty-seven acres of land that within
the last week have been turned over
to a great church organization for an
orphanage.
The property is located on the main
line of the Northwestern road, about
two hours out from Chicago, and ad-
joins the little village of Nachusa. The
land was handed down from genera
ton to generation by a family of the
name of Dysart. By member of this
family it was originally taken up from
the government, and remained in the
family until it fell into the possession

No Human Life There

The coast of Labrador is the edge
of a vast solitude of rocky hills, split
and blasted by the frosts and beaten
by the waves OF the Atlantic for un-
known ages. A grand headland yell
low, brown and black in it's nakedness,
is ever in sight, one to the north
of you and one to the south. Here
and there upon them are strips and
patches of pale green MOSES, lean
grasses and dwarf shrubbery. There
are no forests except in Hamilton
inlet. Occasionally miles of precipices
front the sea in which fancy may
roughly shape all the structures of
human art.
More frequent than headlands and
perpendicular sea fronts are the sea
slopes, often bald and tame, and then
the perfection of all that is pictur-
esque, and rough. In the interior the
blue hills and stony wales that wind
up from among them from the sea
have a summcrlike and pleasant air.
One finds himself peopling these re.
gions and dotting their hills, valleys
and wild shores with human habita-
tons, but a second thought, and a
mournful one it is, tells that no men

Speak No Words of Love.

When a Dyak of Borneo makes love
he helps the girl in the hardest por-
ton of her daily toll. If she smiles
upon him, no matter how sweetly, he
does not Immediately respond, but
waits until the next dark night. Then
he steals to her house and wakens
her as she lies asleep beside her pa
rents. The parents, if they approve,
make no sign, but sleep on-or pre-
tend to. If the girl accepts she rises
and takes from her lover the betel and
sweetmeats he has brought her. That
seals their betrothal and he departs
as he came, neither speaking nor be-
ing spoken to.
