But neither the hustler of the hes,

ries. The hustler rushes things. he
crowds 'em hard and keeps crowdine
but he doesn't hurry. For hurry means
nervousness and nervousness means
impairment of strength, and on q big
job hurry is likely to mean confusion
worse confounded.
The real hustler lays out the work
to be done clearly in his own mind
and then, with no false moves, with No
waste of time or effort, he crowds
the work forward to it's conclusion.
all without the turmoil of hurry. And
the man of energy ditruses strength
always steadily, ever contributing to
the highest results.

dividual man who, however efficient
he may really be, docs things in a
hurry. l like the cool man who keeps
his head and who is easy and deliber-

THE MAN THAT HURRlEs.
And the Man Who Keeps Cool and
Does Things Without Hurrying.

II like to see a man quick about his
work." said Mr.. Quilkinton, but
don't like a man who habitually hur-
ries."
"The hurrying man gets ON my
nerves. He grabs things up and slams
things down and makes a great show
of doing things. For that matter the
earnest, hurrying man may actually
do things, but he often does them at
the cost of an unnecessary expendi-
ture of nervous force on his own
part, and I am sure he must wear on
the nerves of other people around
him.
"The man Of energy is a man of
strength and momentum who gives
also an impression Of reserve power.
He is likely to be the head of the en-
terprise and he communicates his
strength 70 the hastlers and diffuses
power all around. Everybody within
range Of his. influence feels his
strength and work better for It; and
ne puts his own shoulder to the wheel
on occasion.

"A little more natural! Plead with

The freshman glanced into the shad

there must have given him courage
for he seized her by the hand, and
burst out fervently: Nellie, cant
you see how I'm suffering? Dom,
you love me a little bit, dear?'
The girl shook her head, slowly.

Flesh and blood could not resist
that beseeching tone. Yes, will

She stopped, and an agOnized flush
swept to her hair. A sense of all that

overwhelmed her. Only for a moment
did her confusion last, for the youne
man before her seemed to recall sud

with groan. In a moment Hope was
at his side.

~Rebuked the,kinu.

An elderly gentleman with slight
limp was making his way along the
platform at the Northern railway sta
tion at Paris, carrying a small satch-
ell. There brushed hastily by him a
young woman with much swishing of
befrilled skirts, thread of which
caught in the clasp of the satchel.
The young woman stopped, and the
old gentleman attempted to free the
caught thread without injuring the
fabric, but this was a delicate opera
tion, taking some time to accomplish.
The young woman, impatient at the
delay and addressing no one in partic-
ular-it might have been the bag or
the skirt or the old gentleman--ex-
claimed:
Stupid old thing!"
"Quite so, madam, replied the tt ay-

ORGAW ROCK
NEARLY ~OHiGH,

which slants from an elevation of
1000 feet into oblivion at the river
level at Dandy crossing
The Edwin bridge spans a small
branch of Armstrong canyon, and the
abutments are set upon natural rise
far above the general level The gov
ernment measurements, taken this
summer, show it to be 104 feet from
the bed of the creek to the top of the
arch. The floor of the bridge is 81
feet wide, ten feet thick and ia feet
long. 1t, like the others in the group,
was formed solely by the water that
boiled down over the rocks and gouged
hole in the narrow wall, leaving a
perfect arch. The original course of
the canyon stream is traceable around
the west end of the bridge.
The permanent camp of the party
was made three miles below Edwin
bridge in Armstrong canyon, and a
quarter of mile above the Caroline
bridge, under whose arch White
canyon comes to its junction with the
Armstrong. The Caroline bridge lacks
some of the symmetry and grace Of
the Edwin bridge, and while it is 200
feet high, the distance from the bot
tom of the arch to the creek bed is
only 81 feet, showing a thickness of
the floor of 107 feet. Three receding
lodges form the roof of the bridge.
up White canyon, two miles from
the junction, stands the Augusta
bridge, the most majestic of the three.
From an imposing height of 222 feet
one looks over the edge of the great
structure to the creek bed beneath
Walls rising to greater and dizzier
heights flank the bridge on both sides.
The floor Of the bridge is 65 feet thick,
and under the arch, 157 feet high, the
average ten-story building might be
set without touching the under side Of
the bridge. The floor is 261 feet long.
The erosion of ages has cut away
all of the irregular edges, leaving q
perfect arch of splendid proportions.
The same story of chemical and water
action Is written on the Augusta,
traces of the water that poured down
from the Elks are still found around
the south end of the bridge, and the
confusion of great rocks below shows
that huge pieces were torn away at
a time in that titanic work which re-
suited In the present freak formation.
