/ THE GAME OF LIFE: :.
Your Own Resolution, and Not Fate.
Deals the Cards. g.a

Many man has tried to Justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them I'd and
play the game and that no effort how
ever great, on his part could materially
change the result. But my Young
friend, the fate that deals your cards
is in the main your own resolution.
The result Of the game does not rest
with fate OF destiny, but with YOU.
You will take the trick if you have the
superior energy, ability and determine
ton requisite to take it. You have the
power within yourself TO change the
value Of the cards which, you say. fate
has dealt you. The game depends upon
your training, upon the way YOU are
disciplined to seize and use yoi1r Cd
portunities and upon your ability to-
put grit in the place Of superior advan.
tages.
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
tients to physicians, put commonplace
clergymen in uncommon Dulpits and
place the sons Of the rich at the head
of great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
With greater ability and more expert
ence often have to fight their way for
years to obtain ordinary situations,
are you justified in starting out with
out chart or in leaving a place for
luck in your programme? What would
you think of the captain of great
liner who would start out to sea with
out any port in view and trust to luck
to land his precious cargo safely?
Did you ever know Of strong young
man making out his life programme
and depending upon chance to carry
out any part of it? Men who depend
upon ''luck'' do not think it worth
while to make,a thorough preparation
for success. They are not willing to
pay the regular price for it. They are
looking for bargains They are hunting
for short cuts to success. 49," -cna.
= Power gravitates to the man who
knows how. 'Luck is the tide, nothing
more. The strong man rows with it if
it makes toward his port He rows
against it. if it flows the other way

Tom Hoods Test.

The following story is one which
Tom Hood was rather fond of relat-
ing:< va :, 81: ~
He was once asked to contribute to
new Journal, not exactly gratuit-
ously, but at a small advance upon
nothing. He accepted the terms con
ditionally-that is to say, provided
the principle could be properly car
ried out. Accordingly he wrote to his
butler, baker, and other tradesmen,
informing them that it was necessary
for the sake of cheap literature and the
interest of the reading public that
they should in future furnish him with
their several commodities at trifing
percentage above cost price.
1t will be sufficient to quote the an
swer of the butcher:
"Sir: Respecting your note, cheap
literater be bowed! Butchers must
live as other pepel, and if so be you
or the readin' publick wants to have
meat at prime cost you must buy
your own beastesses and kill your
selves.-I remain, etc.

One of the most unusual tests" of material ever made by this govern ment will soon be inaugurated on the Panama strip. Tests of stone, iron, granite. paper, ink, etc, to see if they come up to specifications are often made, but a test of labor and en- durance is unique. The test will be between Italians, Chinese and Japan ese and also as to the contract method of securing and handling laborers. The Panama Canal commission has decided to import two thousand men of each nationality for five hundred day contract, subject to renewal and proposals for furnishing these labor CTS will soon be issued. The number of two thousand was chosen because of being the approximate capacity of one ship at a time. The ldborers will be furnished by contractors and will have to be delivered before the 1st of December next. The government will furnish free hospitals ana medical attendance. unfurnished quarters. fuel for cooking and water. Under a de- cesion of the Attorney General labor CTS will work eight hours day.

The outcome of his visit to the Scotch-Irish distilleries will be await ed with much interest by the Ameri- can distilleries and rectifers whose product he has SO unsparingly con demned.
