VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has It Pulls. Through All
Right-The Other Fellow Dies.

From the Worlds Work.
Two men undergo operations Of the same
character in a hospital. The same surgeon
does the work. The conditions are identi-
cal. Equal care is exercised in each opera
tfon, and each Is successfully performed
Yet one man RECEIVERS; the other dies. Or
there is a tremendous business pressure
which does not let up for months. 1t puts
the men under terrible strain. One man
goes to pieces and his business is wrecked.
He cannot keep the pace: he loses control
of himself His rival has no better brains
than he-perhaps not so good-yet he pulls
through successfully. We say that there
is difference in vitality; that one man has
more of it than the other.
/ once saw msn in a hospital who was
suffering from five so-called fatal dis
eases; and yet he would not die. He
had kept on living year after year
in spite of everything. He refused to
succumb. We find the same thing
Illustrated every day. In a shipwreck
lives without a struggle, without any power
to resist; others cling to an open raft for
days without food, almost frozen, con-
stantly whipped by the waves, but for some
reason or other they survive. The vitality
in them is strong.
RECEIVERS himself after a nervous break
down, while another drags along through
years of semi-invalidism. Notice the re-
suits upon two men of long. cold drench
of rain. One of them comes down with
pneumonia; the other suffers no ill-effects.
How is 1t to be explained?
He has a reserve somewhere-an inner
power of resistance: an aggressive some-
thing that will not be downed-we call ie
vitality. A man can't have more valua-
BILE asset than that. 1t means joy instead
of dumps; success instead of failure; lifes
perhaps, instead of death.

There are few people in our land that
are not toilers in some sphere, and those
who are not are mostly worthless and
often vicious. 1t is one perpetual reitera-
ton of blowing and reaping, buying and
selling work at the bench or at the
forge. in the factory in the office. That
is the story that is retold every day from
Monday morning to Saturday night The
rich man works as hard as the poor man;
the doctor. the lawyer have less spare
time than the mechanic; the housewife
no less than the shop girl. 1t is work,
work. work, with every one of us. Look
at the hurrying crowds that sweep through
the streets OF our cities; how eager and
preoccupied they are; how they press each
other aside as they hasten along, and what
are they after? Bread and butter, cloth

ligion has little chance when only one day
in seven is devoted to these tired toilng

stenography as Stepping Stone.

The action Of another wealthy business
man in marrying his stenographer will
doubtless inspire many more young women
to adopt the writing of the curve and pot
hook as a method of getting on. Next to
the theatrical profession. no class of self
supporting girls is so apt to come in con-
tact with wealthy men, but the girl who be-
comes a stenographer with the sole hope of
finding a rich husband, and making her
work the means to such an end Is destined
to be sadly disappointed.
In the stage world. when a man meets
a pretty woman and marries her after a
brief and dazzling interval, there are al
ways the glamour of the footlights. the
swing Of music, the clink of glasses and
the bewitching allurements of costume to
assist the affair in its rapid progress. In
business, man sees the girl in the cold
light of day and a plain shirt waist. At
first he looks on her as a clever machine
to do his work. and it is often months
before a flash of real friendship illumines
the horizon of the dull, daily grind.
Then he may discover that his Office
assistant is very charming as well as a
capable young woman, and if there is to be
a romance, it starts on a good, firm basis
In about nine cases out of ten. however
when a man has established himself In

If census were taken of the most sue
cessfui professional and business women of
today, 1t would be found that half of them
began as stenographers. Given the oppor-
tunity, the right girl will soon make herself
an indispensable figure in an office. Only
the boss himself Is so familiar with all
the details of the business as the alert
stenographer. Her value is shown in times

THE POWER OF ATTENTION.
When Exceptional It Results in
Genius.

From the Century Magazine.
The fact that the mind Of man Is easily
distracted from any subject in contempla-
tion accounts for the sowness of the de-
velopment of the human mind collectively.
There are historical periods when general
enlightenment seems to have advanced by
leaps and bounds, but when one takes cog
nizance of the tens of thousands OF years
that man has been at play in the kinder
garten of creation one is aware of the very
gradual and deliberate character of human
progress as whole, and this deiiberative-
ness of growth and the remains of ignor-
ance and superstition, even in minds re-
garded as educated. comes largely from the
inability of men to keep their thoughts en-
ployed steadfastly on the various objects
and problems Of matter. mind and life. The
faculty of attention is strikingly lacking
in the savage man; it increases as civiliZa-
ton increases and Is a large factor in the
advance of civilization and of culture
When the power of attention is excep-
tional in the individual he is set apart from
his fellows; he is a genius in the business
