A Living Or A Life

There's mighty big difference be-
tween making a living and making a
life.
Almost anyone can make living
Not every one can make life.
In making a living one may or may
not have to work hard In making a
life-building character-one must do
the hardest kind of work
Some men have their living made for
them. But their lives cannot be made
for them.
He whose living is made for him by
another usually makes poor business
at making life. He is not used to
working at anything
The canoeist must paddle hard going

Who Is The Man?

The great state of Wisconsin is soon

material chair. Who is the man who
should be the nou1inee of The republican
party?
The Ladys,nith News has some con
eeptions along this line. 1t. believes
in harmony but it wants the real ar
ticle-the harmony that harmonizes.
We submit that the man should be
right upon certain issues that typify
the school of thought that poFtend to
progressive politics. The man must
be right upon these issues and he
must be widely known to be right.
There must be no question: on this
score. The evidense must be over
whelmingly convincing.
We aye in the midst of 3 conflict
there is no use in trying to subderge
this fact for it will not cover up. At
tempt to do it and you will see the
pick-axe and shovel brigade at work
stealthiIy perhaps, in the dark maybe
but they will be there.
We are in the midst of conflict,
we say, and the man to be chosen to
continue the contest should be man
who, in the past, has stood right,
moved right, acted right. A man who
has stood still-even with vacant ex-
preston of hope for sttccess-if not
the one who will appeal to the support
of the masses who have given pro-
gressive politics its splendid successes
IN the recent past. The demand will
be for an active, aggressive and effect
i've man.
The man to bear the standard in the
continuation of this great contest
should be a success within himself
such all eminent success as to be at
once recognized as. such.
The man should be recognized all
over the state, if possible, as one who
has done things not only for himself
but for the progressive republican
party. Good work, within given
district is a good recommend, but
work all over the state is better AMI
familiarity with men and conditions
throughout the state, coming from
personal and party contact, is better
still
All doubt and room for doubt must
be eliminated-aIl question forestalled
all criticism shut out.
Who is that man?

up stream. He can drift down stream.
So it is easy to drift along making a
living and failing to make a life. 1t IS
easy to lie and to deceive. 1t is easy
to go with the. current. It is easy to
give way to temptation. 1t takes moral
fiber to tell the truth and to turn down
temptation.
sN Take lying, for instance.
A man can make himself believe that
a lie can be told with good intentions,
that there is such thing as lie of
necessity" Once man admits that
to himself he is subtly, poisoniously de-
ceived. The belief get into practice.
And the practice is q boomerang. 1t
reacts on the mans life. It weakens
his character. Somebody has said that
even God cannot afford to lie in order
that good may come. And what God
Almighty cannot do man better not
try
A man deserves no credit for making
a living. He deserves great credit for
making life.
The only thing on earth any man has
a right to be proud of is his character.
1t represents something. 1t stands for
striving, deprivation, clenched teeth,
will power-the labor of Hercules.

Hope Is the Best Medicine,

We know physicians who give very
little medicine, and vet they are sin
gularly successful because they have
sunny souls. They always radiate
brightness and good cheer. They
know that it is hope, more than drugs,
the patient needs, that it is encourage
ment and not disheartening diagnosis
that helps him to recover. They give
him every bit Of hope and encourage
ment and good cheer possible, for they
know that these are more effective
remedies than are to be found in the
pharmacopeia.-Su Success.

Liahtina Pekin.

Emil Bard, French writer, tells
how Pekin is lighted, as follows:
Eighty thousand taels (s50,400) are
assigned each year for street lights;
the official in charge takes 10000 as
his share and gives the rest to a
subordinate. This latter hands over
10000 to his inferior, and so on until
the original sum is reduced to few
copper cash, given to coolie to buy
oil and a wick; these are placed on
a plate on the ground. A beggar
comes along and drinks the oi1-and
yuch is the lighting Of Pekin.

DANGERS OF ORIGINALITY.

DANGERS OF ORIGINALITY
Originality in the ordinary affairs OF life is too
easy, and Is generally an error OF taste.
In all branches OF art it is far moro difficult to
escape originality with success, and originality
is far more objectionable. To take the first
sordid consideration, IL Is too expensive Is
does not pay. Publishers and editors will havs
none OF it. They ask, OF course. for original
work. but that is merely because they havs
read in some book that originality Is a good
thing. possibly critic has been talking to
them. 1t Is the etiquette to ask for original
work, and the wise business policy to refuse Is.
They know what their public wants and they
quite right The publisher looks out for
the last thing that has had great success. and
he then gets an author to try 10 do something
like it, If an author has succeeded with ono
book, his second must be OF the same kind. A
more serious objection to originality in art is
