WHY LEOPOLD RULES BELGIUM' King Who Has Confidence of His Busi'
 ness Subjects.

"Viewed merely as business enter prise the Congo State has. been an i'm | mense success says Robert E. Park | in "A King in Business."nf the No- vember Everybodys But the Congo I Is more to Leopold than an invest | ment It is the bulwark of his enormous personal influence and power in | Belgium. The inheritance of this royal captain of industry was little kingdom, | made up of heterogeneous clements, Cath ollie and Protestant, Germanio and Gal lic patched together and presented 10 his father by the powers in 1880. The consti- , tuition, founded on the model of England, provided for a king who should reign, | rather than rule; whose function seemed to be limited to providing a sort of orna- 1 mental facade, behind which the parlia- ment. representing the people, was to conduct the affairs of the state. While the king has shared none of the German emperior's medieval aspirations, he has, perhaps. done more than any other mon . arch to re-establish the principle of per sonal government and to show how it is possible in modern Europpe, to rule even though you are king.
 When the king capitalized the Congo situation, put the stocks on the Antwerp market and made them pay dividends, he went far toward converting the Del- gian public to the notion of his personal and absolute government in the Congo. When again. with the capital he had
 taken out of the Congo, he put himself
 at the head of the Belgian financiers and led the campaign for foreign concessions, he gathered about him the strongest n-
 fiuences of the Belgian state. And. later, when the possession of foreign conces- sions opened new markets for Belgian
 manufacturers and Belgium began to
 grow rich under the impetus the king
 had given to foreign trade Belgian man.
 ufacturers discovered that there were
 sound reasons for letting the king run

Warmth of Gratitude.

When a man foolshly allows himself to brood over his troubles the mists of unhappiness will only befog him the closer and the frosts of misfortune cut him the deeper. "Supposing some cold morning." said Henry Ward Beeeher, you should go into a neighbours house and find him busy at work, scratching away at his window panes and should ask what he was doing. and he should reply, Why, I am trying to remove the frost, but as fast as l get it off one square it comes on another,' what would you say? Why you would say, Man, let your windows alone and kindle your fires, and the frost will soon come off " Aye, that was well said by the Plymouth pulpit sage for everywhere we find the windows covered with the frosts that keep out the visions of Gods blessings. Here is one man scraping at this trouble and another scraping at that. "Ah." they keep say Ing, 'how happy I shall be when this misfortune is gonc' My friends, the future will leave still heavier frost upon your window panes unless your heart is changed. What you need is 10 kindle the fires of gratitude in your own life. Thank God for what He has done for you. Then, instead of looking only al your misfortunes, your blinded eyes will be opened, and you will find a whole horl- zon abloom and fragrant with blessings | otdSc tp tdih dbout Nidt bou may uO for you in the years to come. Get down on your knees and thank your Lord and Saviour for what He has already done and is doing for you today.
 But this gospel motto is also brake 1t would put the conservative hand upon the shoulder of the optimst and say: Brother, be a little careful about trust ing too much to your future. Do not rate your assets too high. All your future days may not be flooded with sun shine" It Is always we'll for ship to be ballasted before it sets sail from harbor And yet some men, because they have made a success in the past, think success will always be theirs There fore they live up to the last cent of their income and have their properties mortagaged up to the full limit and buy their stocks upon margin, and when the wheel of fortune turns little the superstructure goes down with crash Now. my brother. in order to have a happy future you must be like Joseph the prime minister of Egypt.

Head-0n Collision Occurs On the
Trolley Line At
Adamston.
MoToRMEN ARE HURT.
Both Cars Delayed and Running
Late, Crews Thought Each
the Last One Out.

Two rnosormen were injured, q
number OF passengers we're Jared
and shaken up and two street cars
were damaged in a head-on coils
ion of Wilsonburg and Adamston
car on the Fairmont s Clarksburg
Traction Company's line Friday
morning at 12:15 o'clock
The injured:
MoToRMAN PERINE, of Adams
ton street car No. II, foot mash
ed, several cuts and and number
Mo O. DEEM, Of Wilson
burg car No. 80, painfully bruis-
ed and badly shaken up.
Mr.. Perine's injuries were such
that he was taken to St. Mary's hos:
pital for treatment. His injured
foot is very badly mangled.
The collision occurred in front Of
| the Adamston Drug Company
store in Adamston. The Adamston
car was on its last trip and was
making the owl run. There had
been several delays and the car was
behind time. The Wilsonburg car
was also running later than its
schedule on account of having been
held for the closing of the performs
ance at the opera house.
At the point where the collision
occurred, one car goes up hill and
the other shoots down hill around
a curve. The crews of both ears
each thought the other car had pass
ed the Adanston terminal and they
thought their car was the last one
out. Both cars were going at fast
rate of speed when they faced each
other around the curve and while
every effort was made by the motor
men to stop their cars, the momen-
tum of the cars and the slippery
rails helped to make an impact Of
considerable force. By jumping out
Of the way of the crashing vestibules
the motormen escaped probably ser
ious injury. The passengers, while
considerably shaken up and fright
ened, were not injured to any eS-
tent save perhaps a few slight
bruises.
The Adamston car was in charge
Ct Conductor Mills and Motorman
Perine and the Wilsonburg car was
being operated by Conductor Good
win and Motorman Deem.
Both cars we're so badly damaged
that they had to be placed in the
car barns for repairs. There is
but one car on the Wilsonburg run
while the others are being repaired.
