THE POWER OF IMAGINATION.

Imagination in some people Is ex'
ceedingly strong. One day recently
a local physician was talking to a
friend about the power of 1t.
"Will,' said the doctor, ''you have
about the strongest imagination ever
knew Of
"My Imagination isn't very strong"
replied the other
Eyes it is. Some day I'll prove it
to you." said the physician. 4 week
later the two men were walking down
town together when the doctor handed
his friend cigar
''It's mighty strong, WILL he said;
$50 strong, in fact, that the same
brand frequently makes me sick. But
it's all have'
The other smiled. cit won't make
me SICK" he said. He lighted the cigar.
Just as they were about to part, the
doctor said
"Will, you're looking pale around
the gills. What's wrong?"
Frankly" said the other, "that
cigar has made me slightly i'll. I nev-
er smoked as strong weed"
It was the doctors turn to smile.
That's one of the mildest cigars
made" he said. ''I was just trying to
show you how strong your imagina-
tion is.''

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Platt concerning his own
life was lifting of the curtain, for
an instant. to show the real feelings
oI man who has succeeded-and fail
ed
Platt said, you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
it has BEEN
$50 much better-or different"
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg-
ing of his words. lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been
It might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life.
Why, the man has gotten about
SN tI tiliIlS Il Iidu Wallis u SSl Ill IulS
life
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator of the Unit
ed States and maker of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll.
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeedo
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself and to the
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Platt can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure.
Because.
"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not in getting. but in giving. It lies
not in what man has, but in what
he is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
lions of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul; instead Of fame as boss.
that of benefactor; instead of power
in politics. the power to do good to
his fellows; instead of the fawning
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends;
instead of hollow service, love-
Yes, his life "could have been made
so much better'-if he had cared
for the real things instead of the i'm
iiations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this
old man, successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure.

The Guardian of Our Body
SCIENCE UP-TO-DATE.

The foremost biologist of our day is
NJ. Metschnikoff who has shown the
world Of science that there are leucocytes
in our blood that act as scavengers or
policemen. These policemen which are
called PkGg0cyteS look out for the nox-
ious or poisonous elements in our blood.
It is of the highest Importance to the
long life of the human being that these
policemen guard us from the attack of
germs from the outside-who enter our
bodies like burglars to take our lives.
Various offending elements such as mi
cro-organisms are picked out of the blood
and tissues by these policemen and de-
stroyed. Therefore our lives are pro-
tected by these blood-cell-policemen the
phagocykcS, and we enjoy immunity
from disease so long as our blood con-
tains plenty of phagocytes and red blood
corpuscles. We can prolong life by
keeping our blood in good condition
our circulation anu liver active. In the
above sketch the border shows types of
red corpuscles which are degenersted,
broken down blood cells--in healthy
red blood the cells are round but when
we get pale, thin and weak the round
cells soon become irreguiarly shaped
or like dumb-bell. The policemen in
our blood are represented by the dark
irregular shaped cells within the circle
ali owing healthy blood cells.
