The London World declares that 1T

A very trite saying, remarks the
San francisco Argonaut, Is that the
honor of public men should be as SEN
sitive as that of woman, and there

country for which they appear before

l do not think I have ever been so

Rose culture may be said to be To-
Gated near the apex of commercial

population of 100000. Its agricultural
and other products this year are ON
cially valued at more than 100000
900, or over sixty-five times its ori-
ginal cost. The Dominion Govern
ment Is now urged to grant pension
to Mr.. McDougall's family.
Meet your problems with an effort
of the mind. Meet your difficulties
your sorrows, your disappointments
with an effort of the will which is
struggle of the brain, advises the
Massachusetts Ploughman. Devote
your energies to maintaining mental
alertness. Remember that that brain
inside your skull contains all your
hope for the future. all your posi-
bilities of usefulness as well as pleas
ure. since there alone sensation and
real activity exist. Wise reading is
important. for reading feeds the
Grain. But earnest, concentrated
thinking is infinitely more important,
since thinking exercises the brain.
Hiss Tarbell, in the latest OF her
Rockefeller studies, draws some
graphic studies of the most discouras'
ingly successful money-grabber In the
world, says Golfers. It is not pref

cruelty, and disgusting piety. "Ac-
cording as you put something In" he
observed to a Cleveland Sunday
School, "the greater will be your divi-
dends of salvation" But he is not the
type of business man who represents
the future. His like are on the vans.
