FORGET YOURSELF.

Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do Self
consciousness is disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can
never get away from themselves.
They become warped upon the sub
ject of self-analyss, wondering how
they look, how they appear, what oth-
ers Will think of them, how they can
enhance their own interests. In 9TH
er words. every thought and every eff.
fort seems to focus upon self; moth
Ing radiates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self-centered. The sympathies OF
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self-consciousness
acts as paralysis to all expansion.
strangles enlargement. kills aspira-
ton, cripples executive ability. The
mind which accomplishes things looks
out, not In: 1t is focused upon its OBJ
ject, not upon itself
The immortal acts have been UNI
consciously performed. The greatest
prayers have been the silent longings,
the secret yearnings of the heart not
those which have been delivered fac.
ing critical audience The daily de.
sire is the perpetual prayer. the
prayer that is heard and answered.

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS

Peace Is n power 1t is favorable
to clear thinking, wise acting and
noble living. A mind In turmoil can
not exercise sound judgment Wor-
ry wears away the life and wastes
the energies. Fear. anger. malice,
turmoil, all distract the mind. Let
perfect peace reign and the soul
snail be strong
Beware of that bane of social life,
evil speaking, Pray for the spirit of
love, which Is the spirit of truth-for
You can never know anyone without
sympathy or love. and take care how
YOU speak of those you have not yet
learned to love. Never talk of
others faults. without necessity. and
avoid those who do.
Let MS count up the many bless
ings we have which so many others
have not. Even in what seems to us
the happiest lot there is always some
hidden sorrow or care, which, If we
only knew. might counterbalance all
the ease and comfort which we are
tempted to envy.
Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out. A home
without books Is like a room without
windows. No man has right to
bring up his children without sur.
rounding them with books II he mas
the means TO buy them. It is wrong
to his family. He cheats them. Chill
dren learn to read by being in the
presence of books. The love of
knowledge comes with reading. and
grows upon 1t, And the love of
knowledge in a young mind is almost
warrant against the excitement
of passions and vices.-IIenry Ward
Beecher.
Trust In yourself and you are
doomed to disappointment; trust in
your friends and they will die and
leave you; trust in money and you
may have 1t taken from you;; trust
in reputation and some slanderous
tongue may blast It. but trust in God
and You will not he confounded In
time or eternity.-D. l.. Moody.
As long as It is possible kiss the
children goodnight after they are in
bed; they like 1t and It remains in
the memory for years after you are
dead and gone.

RA8ID SOCIALISM.

The present would seem to be a
good time for the loyal. law.respect-

ot the Socialist demand for blood and

do not advocate such extremes, but
enough of them do and they are so

lage to the mouth Of the caves.
No one knows the extent OF this
cavern, for It's winding passages have
been explored for but little more
than 20 miles. The entrance Is
through natural arch 70 feet In
height by so In width. from which
path artiHclally cut In the rock zig
zags down to the first hall, called
"The Parlor OF the Goat" This
chamber. which Is only OF average
size. is about 400 feet in length, 200
wide and 1870 nigh. 1t takes Its name
from stalagmIte, which some imag-
NATIVE visitor compared 10 goat
without horns. Another stalasmite.
called "The Camel" has been from
seventy to eighty thousand years In
attaining It's present dimensions, II
in its youth Its rate Of growth was
not greater than at present. An OLD
tradition says that the Spaniards at
the time of their expulsion buried an
enormous treasure In this saloon, but
the efforts to find 1t have so far been
unsuccessful. There is large hole
near "The Camel" which was dug in
this unsuccessful search.
The second hall, called Las
Fuentes." (The Fountains), needs TO
be artifcially Illuminated. as almost
no light from the outside penetrates
II. II derives It's name from series
OF stalagmites resembling basins or
fountains, which sparkle as II cover
ed with water from the crystals of
calcite in process OF formation. Next
comes the hall of Sugar Plums.
This Is rather small. only 220 feet In
diameter and 470 in height. Its floor
Is covered with round whitish stones,
that are fair imitation OF sugar
plums. Next, "The Vestlbule,' one
of the smallest, but most beautiful OF
the chambers. The walls are covered
with stalactites and stalagmites, as

where one gets the last glimmer OF

1t their headquarters. One of the
largest rooms is called "Sala del

| appearance. II Is over 700 feet in
length, $50 wide and 220 high. On
one side of the entrance and slightly
