Picked Out the Leader.

Picked Out the Leader.
 'I walked quietly down the aisle, and when l came to the row occupied by the roughs picked out the leader of the gang. He was a big. red-faced, raw boned fellow, with broken nose and the general look of scared veteran of many a fight. I didn't hesitate, however, but reached and grabbed him by the upper arm. Now, if you care to test it. you'll find I've got remarkable grip. l dug my fingers Into that fellows biceps until I could see him wince. Then I held him so and made speech.
 " You fellows have paid for your sea s I said, and It's to be supposed that you came here to see the show. If your idea of enjoying the entertainment is to break it up, you are interfering with the pleas ures of others. That's wrong, and you'll get no sympathy for your broken bones when I get through with you. Now are you going to behave or not?'
 For a minute or so 1t was doubtful The house was still as could be. the per formance had stopped and the actors were ranged along the footights watch ing the little drama down in front. The fellow looked me square in the eyes and I could see him taking my measure. But I had a little more in those fingers yet and I gave 1t to him look of pain came on his face and he wilted.
 " Let go there. will you! he said
 When you promise to behave your self said.
 ." All right. Let up on it" he cried
 So it was over for that time, and the fellows behaved themselves to the end of the show. But I knew there'd be some thing doing in the way of revenge, and l kept an eye out for the signs of it. didn't need to wait long, for three nights later my fellow of the broken nose showed up with his same pals. was tempted not to let them have seats. but knew that would only be postponing the issue. So they went in. and the big fellow handed me leer and a challenge with his bloated eyes as he passed through the door.
 Whipping Rowdy.
 '"They didn't wait long to start the row, and I didn't wait long to stop it. As soon as the noise began in Row K l went down that aisle like a cyclone. l grabbed the big fellow by the collar, and with one jerk brought him over the man next to him into the aisle. He aimed blow at me, but I lodged him and cracked him one under the ear that dazed him for moment Then I hustled him up the aisle, smashing him behind the ear at every step When I got him out into the corri- dor I turned loose on him right. There was lots of fight in him, and he got me once in the wind so hard I almost went out. At that the mad in me came up, and we had it out there to the finish. Just as I finished him, and sent him down into corner of the lobby there was an eruption of the gang. They came storming out to the rescue of their lead er and would probably have killed me

BREAKFAST DOWNTOWN.
New Plan Which Business Men Are
 Trying This Winter.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 A fad among business men of New York this winter Is to breakfast down town
 The term down town has a different meaning now from that of twenty or even fifteen years ago Formerly the term meant below Fourteenth street the line at which MT. Clews d good many years ago Jeff business when he was homeward bound.
 All depends upon the place of resi- dence and of business. The man who lives on Washington or Cathedral heigh,s is down town if his business is in Forty second, Thirty fourth or Twenty-thrd street.
 One man who Is trying the idea lives in the Nineties, and his place of business is in the wholesale dry goods district. He goes to his office early in his auto
 He likes the morning air. He prefers to get to his office early In order that he may get away early. The morning spin to the business district gives zest to his appetite. He usually breakfasts half way between his home and his busi- ness.
 Fifteen years ago he said. T lived in Madison avenue above Twenty-fifth street. I often walked to my business after breakfast. The streets were then

mlsusing wealth, either shamefully or otherwise, when every one knows that most of our churches are struggling un- der burden of debt?
 All that Is true enough, yet the briefest consideration makes il clear that the hundred thousand churches in America Oet US take that numebr for the sake Of argumenU are trying to do their work under conditions that would be considered foolish and wasteful If they existed fin any ordinary enterprise. Imagine a hum dred thousand department stores doing active business only one day In seven ard remaining closed for the other SIX days or. at best, doing languid business on one or two odd afternoonsi Imagine a hundred thousand theatres giving per fcrmances two or three evenings a week and then remaining closed and silent for four or five evenings! Imagine a hun dred thousand factories working ten hours a day for a single day in seven and perhaps working i've hours day for two other days, and then letting their fine engines and machinery lie Idle all the rest of the time' We should call 1t stupid and extravagant folly, we should expect such foolish factories, and de- partment stores 10 lose both in money and in general esteem and. If such con ditions persisted we should conclude either that the directors of these activi- ties were hopelessly incompetent. or that there was a very small demand for what they were trying 10 furnish
 Of course We have grown up in the idea that fl is the right and natural state of churches 10 be closed and silent most of the time. just why no one can say, but, being creatures of habit. we accept things as we find them. We expect our bouses 10 be used every day. our barns to he used every day. our shops, libraries. hospitals, office buildings, all the struc- tures on our soil we expect to be used every day save only the churches. which are the most costly and the most beauti full. These we expect to be used occa- slonally. less than half the time, proba- bIv not one-third of the time, yet the churches represent huge material in-

 The breakfast down town Is becoming quite the thing for business men. l know one man whose business is near city hall. He has his stenographer bring his mail up to the cafe where he takes breakfast and goes over it hurrledly. making such dic- tations as are important.
 By the time he reaches his office the dc sks are clear for the affairs of the day. This breakfast custom, of course. can only he indulged in by people who live in the city. But 1t Is a great help, I assure you. and a number of my friends have adopted the idea

if I hadn't prepared for just that contin- gency.
 ''I had laid in a supply of baseball bats enough to equip league for the season and had enlisted a new set of ushers who liked a fight as well as the stock yards crowd. They met the gang at the doors, and if you ever saw a pretty slaughter 1t was right there. By the time the police arrived all they had to do was to call for ambulances. Before the roughs were hauled away to be patched up and then locked up on the charge of disturb ance, I picked out the most conscious one in the lot and explained the situation to him. There was to be no more of their favorite pastime at that theatre. and the tidngs were to be spread over all the stockyards region that a new system had gone into operation.
 And that was the end of the trouble at that house. I was made assistant man. ager when my friend came back, and Fve been in the business ever since. But it's frlghtfully dull here, and I'm thinking of trying something more lively next year."

CLOSED AND SILENT CHURCHES.
Wealth Represented in These Edifices
 Is Non-Productive.

From "The Shameful Misuse of Wealth"
 by Cleveland Moffett in Success Nigga
 zine.
 l suppose many readers will be startled and some offended. at least in their first impression. when they see our churches arrsigned as misusers of wealth. How is that possible? they will protest. Are not our churches obviously and conspicu- ously devoted to the general good? Are they not guided by able and unselfsh men who devote their lives to the spir- itual needs of their fellow men? And is 1t not preposterous to charge them with

WORK.

The who works is the salvation of the ma
ton Work is the foundation upon which all gen
uine success is built, whether the work is the d-
recton of a great engineering scheme or mercan-
tile establishment, whether it is the patient fol-
lowing of pillow or the digging of ditch In all
the activities of our twentieth century civliza-
ton. nothing can take the place of work 1t IS
the beginning and the end of success. For every
there is work to do. according to his mental
manual and moral abilities The moral ability to
work is by far the most important of these; the lack
of it the hardest to forgive The man who goes
or less cheerfuy to his daily task and sticks
to it through many acknowledgements is deserving
of the highest respect from his fellow man. More
he is deserving of honor for the moral stamina
which holds him to his duty All of our civiliza-
ton, our wealth. great cities. railroads and
steamship lines are but the result of work
But the man, lacking the moral stamina which
makes for success, who throws up his hands in
despair quits his work to become wanderer
derelict in our civilization while appealing strong
ly to the sympathies of all. deserves nothing but
censure and hard hand which will compel him to
work. Nor is a rich man, capable of supporting
himself and family without toll, any less liable to
this just censure if he finds no work to do We can
see it in no other light than that work is necessary
to the salvation of the individual; that the saliva
ton of the individual is necessary to the salvation
of the nation, and that the salvation of the nation
is necessary to the coming of the millennium When
God placed upon Adam the malediction "In the
sweat Of thy brow shalt thou eat bread it was in
tended not for him alone. but for the whole human
race for all time

popular and antagOnistic attitude of most of the

The clergy of France are in no real sense of the

DRUNKENNESS AND EDUCATION.

THE ANNUAL BALANCE SHEET.

When New Year day comes it is natural and
right that men should make I'D the tale of the
year and take stock of their achievements, their
failures their prospects and their needs In every
business enterprise the annual balance sheet tells
the whole story; and upon its accuracy and truth
funess depends mans knowledge Of his own af-
fairs.
A good many of us have known men who SIM
ply could not bring themselves to face the actual
conditions of their business In making their
inventories they would value old stock at cost
prices instead OF recognizing the loss due to
change IN seasons or style: they would not write
off the real losses in book accounts depreciation
IN the value of their plant Their balance sheet
was fictitious, not because they were dishonest or
untruthful, but becouse they were too cowardly to
face facts
In much the same way good many scott
at the notion of New Year reflection and resolu
ton. They don't like to sit down and consider
seriously the mistakes OF the past year and take
moral balance sheet In the inventory of their
deeds they put too high value on their own vir-
tues and gloss over the shortcomings that ought
to figure III the depreciation account. The things
they ought to have done are omitted from profit
and loss when they should appear in strong figures
on the loss side They hate to face the fact that
possibly the balance is against them when the tale
Of the year Is made up, so they pass by the New
Year day and let things drift on because they are
moral towards and fail to do their duty in life.
1t is right that men should take time at the
close of the year to where they stand and plan
to do better for the future, Tt would be more
profitable still if they contemplated their condition
daily, some business establishments get daily re-
ports of what they have done; but, in any event
the who is to make success of his life who
is to realize the best that is in him, will not let
the New Year come without making up his bal
ance sheet.
Has the year been one of good deeds Have
there been wrongs to others charged against you ,
Have you done to others as you would be done by?
Have you been faithful in the spiritual obligations
that make up SO large part of the final reckon
ing! And if the answers to these questions are
not satisfactory have you determined with Gods
help to do better for the next twelve-month2 Are
you resolved to be more generous to those who
need help to be genter in your home moro char
liable in your judgments of others. and, above all
have you decided to keep your face turned reso-
lutely toward the better part of life in every rea
tons
The New Year resolution has been treated as
something humorous by the thoughtless and Gym
ical but be sure that no man ever achieved any
thing big, either good or bad without an initial
resolution as his starting point; and if you are to
live well and leave an honorable name behind you
it will be due to resolution either conscious or un-
conscious
