Adams did Hancock and John Adams
and Otis and Joseph Warren and Quin-
cy. But, for the most part, men work
best in any great cause when individ-
ually they are working for themselves.
1t is not natural for young lady at a
reception to be particularly pleased
when most Of the young men are hov-
ering about her rivals chair as a
swarm OF bees might circle about a
beautiful flower. Neither is it natural
for any one to truly rejoice in another's
success when that success in one sense
seems to undermine his own success"
Yes, my friend, you are right. 1t is
not natural for a sinful man to ere
joice with those that do rejoice" But
the gospel of Jesus Christ can make
what b unnatural for sinful man nat
ural for a redeemed man. 1.-THE hard
est act of life is to get any man to be
willing to completely sink his individ-
uality in a cause" once wrote General
Samuel Armstrong, the founder and
first principal of the Hampton insti
tute. ut is comparatively easy to get
rlcn men TO endOW scholarship OF 10
erect a building or to do this or that
for which their names will be known
far and wide, yet it is almost impossi-
Bile to get any man to give his money
to help out the ordinary running ex-
penses Of a college, which have to be
met and must be met right away"
Difficult, is it, to rejoice with a man
when he rejoices and to help on his
success? Yes, but l believe the grace
Of the Lord Jesus Christ is even able
to accomplish that wonder, and it can 4
accomplish it, D man. in your heart, |
30 that you can go to your successful
brother and say: Brother, give me
thy hand. l rejoice with you in your
success. How can 1 help that success
10 become greaterY
Milford chronicle., 1904-10-28
Concerning Your "Ad."

To get the best results from an
advertisement. the advertisements
needs as much care as growing
plant.
It is not enough to sow a single
seed, and expect big harvest.
The advertisement should be
kept up to date, changed according
to the season, and the advertiser
who loses interest in his own ad.
cannot expect the public to feel
deeply interested.
An insertion or two of an adver-
tisement cannot possibly bring
quick and direct returns. 1t is not
in the order of things.
1t is in the long run, and in the
persistence of the advertiser that
the indirect results are manifest in
he total business of the year.
If business is brisk, the sensible
advertiser keeps his name before
the public in order to keep it so,
and if business is dull, he Will ad-
vertise to make it brisk.
Too many advertisers expect
pronounced and direct results for
the most tri1ing expenditure.
Of course there are times when
the simple appearance of your
name and place of business is
enough, but there are other times
when you must tell what you have
or what you want and tell it plainly
and frequently, to meet competi-
ton with those who are doing so.
Milford chronicle., 1904-10-28

: o friend, you must be very careful
how you live In one sense you are
exactly in the place Of a locomotive
engineer who has a long train Of
coaches attached to his engines ten
der. If your true arm fails, then other
lives besides your own must suffer Oh
account of your weakness" When
Christian sympathy speaks thus an av-
erage man will suddenly stop and say
to himself: 'What! Does any one care
for me? Is my life an important factor
In other lives? II this be true, l must
be careful where my feet go, how l
laugh, how l cry and what do. My
life is not an independent entity. My
spilled blood will stain other garments
besides my own"
The dependence OF other lives upon
our lives-is not this realization a
mighty safeguard against man run
ming into needless physical dangers as
well as spiritual? The other day
sailor rowed you out into the offing or
bay to take you fishing. There was a
strong breeze blowing beyond the point
Of jutting rocks which protected the
bay, but the fish were jumping every
where. and the temptation to go was
very great. But no sooner did you OBJ
serve the 'crankiness" Of the sailboat
toward which you were rowing and in
which you were to sail than you turned
to your companion and said: Il am
not going out today. That boat is not
safe. 1t is leaking now" Why were
you not willing to go7 Are you any
more Of a coward now than you were
ten or fifteen years ago, when you
would have jumped into that boat
without fear? Oh, no, not that. No
one could charge you with being a
coward. Personally you would just
us lief run the risk now as you did
fifteen years ago. but now you have a
wife and children. which was not so
fifteen years ago. Now you have 9th
ers dependent upon you. Now you
cannot afford for their sakes to need
essly risk your life.

There he saw again the old folks, now

used to hide their eggs and then cackle

old minister would forget when to stop

old village postOffice where the neigh
bors came to bid him gOodby when, in
the old, rickety stage, he left the vii
lage and started forth to find work in
the large town.
As he dreamed in that cell the re-
pentant tears came flowing from his
eyes. He then and there made up his
mind to lead a good, true, honest, pure
Christian life and at last to be buried
in the old family plot at the feet of his
father and mother. But. though he is
now free and wanting to be an honest
man, what chance has he? Every door
Of business is shut against him. Too

stronghold. Philadelphia. The Ledger
of that city, in it's Friday edition, con-
tanned an article under such sensa-
tlonal headlines as the following: Ter
rifying increase in crime by ne
groes." The article shows that al
though the negroes constitute but 5
per cent. of the population of the city
Their crimes run all the way from
petty larceny to murder
The Ledger points out that the pris-
ons are getting full of negro prison.
ers and there are apprehensions that
unless something Is done TO check
crime by negroes there will be lynch
ings. An effort is made to show that
the great amount of crime is due to
the fact that owing to the demand for
labor on the public works many bad
negroes from the South have located
in the city.
1t is hardly probable that only bad
negroes have gone from the South. As
a general thing only the better class
of negroes go North. the idle, thrift
less and vicious remaining behind. 1t
is a safe statement that Philadelphia
hasn't received an extraordinary per-
centage of bad negroes.
The good people of that city now
have an opportunity to see what they
can do towards preparing their ne
gro population for citizenship, especi-
ally for the exercise OF the right to
vote. Let them find out whether or
not the negro voters vote in accord
ance with their convictions or are the
instruments of ward heelers for de-
bauching the ballot box. When they
have settled that question they will
be better prepared to instruct their
congressman how to vote on the Crum-
packer bill.

where Irony Was Disastrous.

The irony of Lord Bowen, a noted
jurist, once proved very disastrous,
says PersonaIia. He was trying bur
glar, and by way of mitigating the te-
dunn of the proceedings summed up
the case in the following fashion:
You will have observed, gentlemen,
that the prosecuting counsel laid great
stress on the enormity of the offense
with which the prisoner is charged, but
1 think it is only due to the prisoner
to point out that in proceeding about
his enterprise he, at all events, dis
played remarkable consideration for
the inmates of the house. For instance,
rather than disturb the owner. an in
valid lady, as you will have remarked,
with commendable solicitude he re-
moved his boots and went about in his
stockings, Notwithstanding the inclemen-
cy of the weather, further, instead of
rushing with needless rapacity into the
pantry, he carefully removed the coal
scuttle and any other obstacles which,
had he thoughtlessly collided with
them, would have created a noise that
would have aroused the jaded servants
from their well-earnest repose."
The judge then dismissed the jury to
consider their verdict, and was horror
struck when they soon returned to court
and pronounced for the acquittal of
the prisoner.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The San Francisco Chronicle (Rep)
notes that the Job" for the purchase of
the sequoia groves in California has
grown from $3.50, 900 last session to $780,
900 this year, and adds: THE note
worthy feature in connection with the
transaction is that the enthusiasm of
Congress for the preservation of the
groves increases at the same ratio as
the price"
The Columbia Is. c. State (Dem.)
says: From financial standpoint,
Japan is in much better position for
war than Russia. Her public debt is
$275, 900, 600, she has a gold reserve of
about $685. 900 and her annual ordi-
nary revenue is 100000 900 greater than
her expenses. A bond issue for war
purposes would be readily subscribed
for both in Europe and this country
Being much nearer the scene of action
the war would be far less costly to ia
pan than Russia. Russias national
debt is huge-about SO, 700 0O0, 900 and
her annual deficit is about $50. 900. 000
Russia's credit is very poor and that
country is said to have been for months
unsuccessfully attempting to place a
loan in France and Germany
The New York Times Dem.) says:
1--WE note in the Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore a reference to what it calls
the little spur given to the revived
movement for Federal aid in negro edu-
cation in the South by Chancellor Hill
of the University of Georgia and others
at Mr.. Robert c. Ogden's dinner to the
Southern Educational Board So far
as we can see from the reports of tie
very admirable address of Chancellor
Hill, he made no suggestion as TO me-
gro education by itself. but spoke in
favor of national aid to all education
in the South. He made an argument
which seems to us worthy of considera-
tion, though we do not regard it as
conclusive. As we understand the
chancellor, he lays good deal of en-
phasis on the need of general education
for both races in some parts of the
South, and is convinced that 1t can be
aided by a system that would not i'm
pair the independence of the section
Apparently there is a certain number
of men in the South, with whom we
should be sorry to class the very able
STAFF OF the Record, who are so afraid
of education for the negro, no matter
how useful and practical it might he
that they look with disfavor on ali
plans for any education. With these
Chapcellor Hill would hardly ind a
hearing"
