a WORD TO THE READER.

Ii you speak the right word at the
right time; if you are rareful to leave
good impression; if you do not tres
pass upon the rights of others; if Won
always think of others as well as YOUR
self; if you do not forget-the courte
sizes which belong to your position you
are quite sure to accomplish much in
life which others with equal abilities
fail to do. This is where the race is
not to the swift nor the battle to the
strong. 1t is where you make people
feel that you are unselfish and honor
able and truthful and sincere. This
is what societyis looking for in men,
and it is astonishing how much men
are able to win for self respect and
usefulness who possess these qualities
OF good breeding. 1t is almost the
turning point of success in practical
life. People will not, in the long
run, have about them persons who
make themselves offensive, aud they
yield position and influence quickly
and gracefully to persons who make
themselves useful in a genial way.
This is the point where friends are
at once most forgiving and most ex-
acting. They will overlook great neg
Iect If they can be assured of the low
ing heart behind the outward sight;
but the moment you do rude things
in a rude spirit aud with personal
col6ness and selfishness the friend
ship is severed. This is why the best
friends make the bitternest enemies.
1t may be set down as q rule that one
can never afford not to be a gentle
man. 1t is the best to learn this
rule early and practice it late. 1t is
not well to say mean things of an
other, because in most cases you will
have to take back all in bitterness of
heart when he does you an unex-
pected favor. It is not wise to treat
anyone brusquely, because you can
not always judge bird by the
feathers it has on. 1t is not we'll to
look down on anybody, because the
time may come when he may look
down on you. There is a certain
self in everyone that should be re-
spected. We have no right to in
fringe upon it. 1t is not morality,
1t is not a mere conventional rule;
it is something in the nature of things
that you should always show deli
cate regard for others. One who
does not fail here is never known ut
terly to fail elsewhere.-Selected.

ing and kicked up a heavy sea in the
sound, but the Plupger behaved
beautifully.
The water where the trial took
place is about forty feet deep, too
shallow in the opinion of Lieutenant
Nelson and his experts to enable the
vessel to do her beat work. Soon
after the vessel reached the necessary
depth of water she was directed
downward until she rested on the
bottom of the sound. Then the
mechanism of the craft was ex.
planned minutely to the President by
Lieutenant Nelson, so that be after
ward had no difficulty in understand
ing the maneuvers which were per-
formed.
While the President thus was rest.
ing on the bottom of the sound in a
submarine boat a storm forty feet
above him was raging unnoticed The
ram descended in torrents and the
northeaster whipped the surface of
the water into big rollers, but it was
as quiet and peaceful where the
President was as a parlor would be.
Explanation of the working of the
vessel having been completed, Lieu
tenant Nelson began to put her
through her PAGES. From the bottom
porpoise diving was tried; that Is. the
boat would ascend to the surface of
the sound for several seconds, long
enough to enable her commander to
sight any warship that might be
within view, and then dive again
immediately. After this maueuver
had been repeated few times, the
Piunger was sent down distance of
twenty feet below the surface and
her engines were stopped. Then the
engines were reversed and the boat
ascended to tho surface backwards
Lieutenant Nelson made his boat
perform the remarkable feat of div
ing to a depth of twenty feet aud
while going at full speed at that
depth, reversing her course. The
complete turn occupied only one
minute. Subsequently, the engines
were stopped aud the vessel was sub.
merged to depth of twenty feet.
There she was kept motionless, Civ
ing a demonstration of her ability to
remain in that position for hours
while awaiting an opportunity to
launch one of her torpedoes at a ves-
sci of a blockading squadron which
might be passing or repassing given
point.
After many maneuvers had been
performed, Lieutenant Nelson or
dered all lights on board to be
extinguished to demonstrate how
thoroughly the members of his crew
knew their business. They worked
perfectly in the inky darkness. evil

WHAT is A CHRISTIAN?
A Short Definition of What 1t Is to
Be a Christian.

He only Is a Christian in whom the
ruling idea and image is Christ. Angus
tine In his Confessions" tells us of
dream in his early Christian life, when
as young lawyer he was intensely alb
sorbed in Cicero and all his tastes were
Ciceronian. He thought be died and
came to the Celestial gate. "Who are
your" said the keeper. "Augustine, of
Milan" "What are your" ga Chris
tian." "No; you are a Ciceronian." !"
Augustine asked an explanation, and
the angelic gatekeeper replied: "All
souls are estimated in this world by
what dominated in that. Ia you, Angus
tine. not the Christ of the Gospel, but
the Cicero of Roman Jurisprudence was
the dominating force. You cannot enter
here. Augustine was so startled ths
he awoke; and resolved that henceforth
Christ and not Cicero should rule In hls
thought and heart and life. The dream
Is not all a dream He only enters the
Heaven where Christ Is supreme and
central whose life gives Christ here its
inner shrine aud throne O.

TO PAY BIG INDEMNITY.
CRichmond News Leader.)

A group of politicians were dis.
cussing the result of the primary, a
few days ago, and among the men
composing the group were Martin
men, Montague men, Swanson men,
Willard men and friends of various
other candidates. 1t was a gather
ing of friends, the best of spirit pre-
vailing, and considerable chatting of
the supporters of the defeated aspi-
rants was INDUCED. A friend of
Gov. Montague, a bright and qnick-
witted fellow, provoked a round of
laughter when he delivered himself
of the following: "We don't mind
the defeat of Willard, Mann aud the
governor so very much. That is not
so very hard for us to bear. What
is bothering as is this: Just think of
what an indemnity the friends Of the
governor have got to psy!"

SUBWAY TAVERN A FAILURE.
Bishop POtter's Pet Scheme 60
Become Common BarrOom

The failure of the Subway Tavern
is explained by Joseph johnson.
president of the company, which ran
the place for year At The same
time be expressed belief that the
experiment iu running reform
drinking place might have sue
ceeded in different neighborhood.
tie asked permission to express the
gratitude of the enterprise to Bishop
Potter.
The reasons for the failure of the
Subway Tavern were given by Mr..
johnson IN part as follows:
The ne;ghborhood soon discovered
that the tavern was no place for
the intemperate. And we regret TO
express our conviction that i'm some
cases profit in saloons of this city is
made after he driukrr begins 10
drink In excess. We rr>er allowed
q succession of many d,i,ks There
fore we never got the drinkpr to the
point where he brcame reckless of his
money aud where he began staperIng
his drinks, wherein lies the profit.
ln other words, ust as the customer
was to become profitable to us we
sent him away. It is worth MOTTO
ing, too, that man once refused a
drink never came back. a drinking
man has a very large idea about his
sumptuary liberty, and dou btless our
bartender never failed to offend the
person, who, we thought, had too
much.
Another contributory cause lay in
the high cost OF pure beer and liquors.
Perhaps our supplies under our prin-
clples of selling only the best and
not refilling bottles, cost us so to 100
per cent, more than would be paid by
the ordinary saloonkeeper. Our profit
on actual material sold has been
as low as 30 per cent, whereas, the
average saloonkeeper could not exist
unless he made from 100 to 200 per
cent.
The Subway Tavern had saloon
license, not hotel, and of course.
obeyed the law as to closing. It fol-
lows that the tavern got none of the
Subway patronage, which oftimes Is
the patronage which gives the saloon
keeper his profit, being, especially up
town and in residential districts, the
saloonkeeper's largest day. 1t is
notorious that no attention whatever
is paid here to the excise law.
MIR. johnson said that the tavern
company had sold its plant and
would cease to have any interest in
the place as soon as the accounts were
settled. The place is to be run as an
ord nary saloon hereafter.
