BOYS THAT SUCCEED.

"A new boy came into our Office to-day"
said a wholesale grocery merchant to his
wife at the supper table. HE was hired
by the firm at the request of the senior
member who thought the boy gave prom
Use of good things. But 1 feel sure that
the boy will be out of the Office in less
than a week"
What makes you think SOP" inquired
his wife.
Because the very first thing that
he wanted to know was just exactly how
much he was expected to do
Perhaps you will yet change your mind
about him.
Perhaps 1 SHALL" replied the mer-
chant, "but 1 do not think So"
Three days later the business man said
to his wife: About that boy you remem-
Der 1 mentioned two or three days ago.
Well, he is the best boy who ever en-
tered the store"
'How did you find that out?"
In the easiest way in the world The
first morning after the boy began to
work, he performed very faithfully and
systematically the exact duties assigned
him, which he had been so careful to have
explained to him. When he had finished,
he came to me and said: Mr.. I have
finished all that work. Now, what can
1 do%
81 was a little surprised, but I gave
him a little job of work and forgot all
about him until he came into my room
with the question, What next? That
settled it for me. He was the first boy
that ever entered our Office who was will
ling and volunteered to do more than
was assigned him. I predict successful
career for that boy as a business man."

gaily. 81 don't understand the differ

studying this matter tsked his Ques-
toner.
'Hours?" he repeated, In surprise.
''Well, then minutes?"
The young man was dumb.
"Ah!" said his companion, with pa
tient sadness, mot one"
"If you thought a knowledge OF
geology necessary to your success in
life, or astronomy, or shorthand, you
would not think of spending less than
one hour a day in it's study, perhaps
two, perhaps three; and you would no.

of one tree into the top of another.
After getting down the larger trees the
branches are all cut off and made into
lengths suitable for transporting and
taken to the water, after which the
trunk is cut up and as much of it re-
moved as possible.
The bark of these pieces, which with
the twigs forms the principal item of
food, is all gnawed off in the water or
at the houses. The barked sticks are
then used in repairing or strengthening
the dams or stacked on top of the house.
Beavers generally work on moon
light nights only, and scarcely ever in
the daytime, though they may some
times be seen making repairs on
broken dam.

THE DOUBLE LIFE.

heating hammering, and fitting of tbs
shoe, and then the mailing of it to tbs
hoof. But it was so hard-so full ~
smoke and SCOT and grime-I could
not see how it could fail to use I'D all
mans energy and leave him utterly ex-
hausted. I felt sorrowful sympathy for
the man who was obliged so to spend his
life.
A few evenings afterward I was
guest at an evening party where the best
of the neighborhood were assembled.

and carriage of one of the foremost Of

haps l should not have been surprised
for men are capable Of excellence in more
than one line of endeavor, but l was be-
cause, you know, so few such marked
cases occur.
This incident calls up another. A lead

OF your kitchen sink, to repair water

of society, of all church activities, leader
in the Sunday-school and choir, who is

considered her domestic chores such as

Instead of being a simple home drudge

possibilities of this double life, and you
begin to look for a reason for the many
failures we find.

Far down the pathway of the west,

To be at rest.

but borrow
Thy wandering wings, thy freedom
blest,
I'd fly away from every careful sorrow,
And find my rest.
But when the dusk filmy veil was

Back came the dove to seek her nest;

There was true rest.

A BROKEN LIFE.


There are lew entirely unbroken lives
in this world; there are few men who
fulfil their own hopes and plans without
thwarting or interruption at some point,
Now and then there is one who in early
youth marks out course for himself and
then moves straight on it to it's goal but
most persons live very differently from
their own early dreaming Many find at
the close of their career that is scarcely
one particular have they realized their
life dreams; at every point God has sim
ply set aside their plans and substituted
His own.
There are some lives whose plans are
so completely thwarted that their story
is most pathetic as we read it; yet we
have but to follow it through to the end
to see that the broken life was better and
more effective than if its own plan had
been carried out.
The story of Harriet Newell is an H.
luStration of a broken life. Listening to
the cries of the perishing and to the call
of duty, she sailed away as missionary.
She had in her heart a great purpose and
a great hope. She planned to devote
her rich and beautiful life, with all it's
powers of love and sympathy and help
fulness, to the cause of Christ in heather
IanuS; she hoped to be blessing to
thousands as she lived a sweet life amid
the darkness and heathenism, and told
the story of Christ's cross to perishing
ones. With these desires and hopes in
her soul she sailed away to India, but
she was never permitted to do any work
for Christ among those she so yearned
to save. Driven from in hosftfynHo
and drifting along at sea, first her baby
died, and then she herself soon sank into
deaths silence. In one short year she
was bride missionary, mother and saint.
Truly, her life, seemed a broken one
defeated, a failure. Not one of the glO-
rious hopes of her own conservation was
realized. She told no heather sister of
the love Of Christ; she taught no little
child the way of salvation she had no
opportunity to live a sweet life in the
midst of the black heathenism she so
wanted to bless; yet that little grain of
wheat let fall into the ground and dying
there has yielded a wonderful harvest.
The story of her life had kindled the mis-
sionary spirit in thousands of other wo-
mems souls. Harriet Newell, dying with
all her hearts only hopes unrealized. has
done far more for missions by the inspira-
ton of her heroic example and by the
story of her life's sacrifice than she could
ever have done in the longest life of the
best service in the field The broken
life became more to the world than it
could have become by the carrying out of
its own MANS DR. n AIilIar

THE WONDERFUL BEAVER.

The beaver is a most intelligent and
Interesting little animal, and some of
the feats he performs are really wonder
full. A writer in Outdoor Life says that
he has frequently seen cuttings of cot
tOuwood large enough for fence posts
which had been moved by a colony of
beavers to water several hundred feet
away. Beavers are very skilful wood
choppers and seldom fail to fell a tree
in the right direction; that is, with the
butts all pointing toward the trail to
the stream, and never telling the top

FLEET FOR FAR EAST
Large Squadron Will Leave for Asiatic
Waters in September.

Washington. June 27-American pres
tise in the Far East will be increased in
the autumn by the arrival in ASiatic wa
tiers OF a mighty squadron of armored
cruisers. which will sail from New YORK
early in September. American commerce
n that section of the world should be in
creased by the appearance on the ASiatic
station of the four armored cruisers West

to their boilers at the New York yard.
The Navy Department is at present con-

the boilers nf these new ships. Their re-
pairs should be completed by August 20,
and if they can be got ready for the long
Journey by Sept. l, they will sail for Glib
ratAr about that time.
1t is probable that a collier will accom-
pany them. in which event they should be
able to make the trip by way OF the
Mediterranean and the SueZ Canal to the
Asiatic station in about fifty days. The
itinerary calls for no parade in the wa
tiers of northern Europe nor for the re-
turning of the friendly visits of foreign

to the Asiatie is business affair. Great
britain and other nations maintain cr,lis-
or SOuadrons on this station and it was
