N-RAYs SHOULD BE PINK.
They Indicate a Good Life, Says D.,
Hooker.

London Cab!e to New York Sun: The
Lancet publishes a letter from Dr.
Hooker on the results of three years
experiments with the Blondlotz NJ
rays emitted by the human body. DR..
HoolSer says he has established the TACT
that these rays differ in color according
to the character and temperament of a
person, and also thatathe avs are not
merely heat vibrations, as he proved
by passing the rays from his own hand
through the forearm of u corpse TO a
prepared screen which Immediately
showed increased luminosity. In ref
erence to the different colors OF the
rays, Dir. Hooker
Rays emanating from 4 very pas
sionate man have a deep red III One
whose keynote IN life is to be good and
to do good throws off pink rays; an
ambitious man cmitS orange rays; a
deer thinker throws off deep blue; Il
lover Of art and refined surroundings,
yellow; an anxious, depressed person,
gray; one who leads a low, debased
life, muddy brown rays; a devotional.
| good meaning person, light blue; pro-
| gressive minded, light green, n physi-
| cally or mentally ill person, dark green
rays" q
DR.. Hooker admits that his statement
! may be received at first with a smile of
in%credulity. out he is confident 1t will
sooner or later be accepted as a fact.
He further says he has proved that
N-rays are not given off by the human
body. u by objects which have been
in contact Herewith. He obtained this
impression from Il letter thirty years
old which proved that the avs are
radioactive and retain their power or

Took the "Three II and GLOVER Leaf

Nothing and Worked Them
Into Big Properties.

Washington, April 4.-The announce
ment issmade today that I. p. Shontz,
president of the Toledo. st. Louis and
Western railroad, has decided to ac-
eept the craftsmanship of the isthmianz
canal commission.
Theodore p. Shontz, the presidents
"sien, 900
having an opportunity provided, made
the most of it. Mr.. Shontz go his
start in life by making a good mar
rage. He became a sOn-in-iaW OF
General +. M. Drake, and through that
relationship the way was opened TO q
brilliant career in the railroad busi-
ness. He was made superintendent OF
the Central of Iowa at the period when
Governor Drake was deeply interested
in that road; and later, when Drake
became the controlling power In the
Three IT, or the Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, he was made by Drake it's presi-
! dent.
Made the "Three l."
Thus Mr.. Shontz may fairly be
claimed as an Iowa man. He did q
great piece of work for the Three l."
which was a minor road that crossed
all the trunk ines entering Chicago
and occupied a strategic position. OF
which Mr.. Shontz awaited himself to
build up an immense business. He
made the road, which before his time
mad been q Door Garner. so valuab
that the Lake Shore gathered 1T in on
a basis that added some millions to the
Drake fortune. Incidentally, Mr.
Shontz made himself also q wealthy
man through this deal, in which ne
was deeply interested With Governor
Drake.
Then the Glover Leaf"
When the Lake Shore took over the
"Three /" about four years ago., Mr.
Shontz went to the Glover Leaf" as
the Toledo, ST. Louis and Western il
called. This was an u~nimportant road
from Toledo to East st. Louis. Again
Shontz proved his ability to do bust

few months he has been able TO draw

Swallowed Up by a Little Failure.

Success: Some people get along
beautifully, for half a lifetime, per-
haps, while everything goes smoothly.
While they are accommodating proper
ty and gaining friends and reputation
their characters seem to be strong and
well balanced, but the moment there
is friction anywhere-the moment
trouble comes, a failure in business, a
panic, or Il great crisis in which they
lose their all-they are overwhelmed.
They despair, lose heart, courage, faith,
hope and power tic try again-every-
thing. Their very manhood or woman
hood is swallowed up by u mere ma
terial loss.
This is failure. indeed, and there is
small hope for anyone who falls to such
a depth of despair. There is hope for
an ignorant man. Who cannot write
| his name, even. if he has stamina and
backbone. There is hope for a Grip
pie who has courage; there is nope for
a boy who has nerve and grit, ever
though he so hemmed in that he has
apparently no chance in the world, but
there is no hope for q mar who can
not or will not stand up after he falls,
but loses heart and lays down his arms
after defeat.
Let everything else go, if you must
but never lose your grip on yourself
Do not let your manhood or woman
hood go. This is your priceless pearl
dearer to you than your breath. Gins
to it with all your might. Give up lif'
itself first.
