Log jams are not an abnormal part
of the riverman's work, as most people
suppose. but regular incident of the
days business. In the breaking of
sure l know of no finer sight than the
going out of tall jam. The men pry.
heave and tug sometimes for hours.
Then all at once the apparently solid
surface begins to creak and settle. The
men zigzag rapidly TO shore. A crash
and spout Of waters mark where the
first tier is already topping into the
current. The trout melts like sugar
A vast. formidable movement agitates
the brown tangle rs far as you can see
and then with another sudden and
mighty crash the whole river bursts

Once upon a time there came to his
place of mart, one from the tribe of
Mambooki's with many calf-skins and
much tallow which the merchant re-
ceived with many thanks and very
humble mein in the attitude of prayer.
The kafir impatiently demanded an
equivalent for his goods, whereupon
the merchant informed him that hav-

grey matter as choice calls brains.

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
Don't Try to Be q General and q Pri-
vate at tho Same Time.


When you are so buried In the de-
tail Of your business that you cannot
get clear, sharp view of your affairs
In all their relations. you are in danger
Of failure.
No great general ever takes gun
and goes with his soldiers into the
thick of the fight, where he would be
so stunned by the noises and SO blind
ed by the smoke of battle that he could
not watch the movements OF the en-
envy, could not see where his own
troops needed re-enforcements or how
to hurl his forces on the weakest place
In the enemy's ranks. He must go
where he can watch every movement
OF the armies.
II you are going to be a general in
business, you must keep where you can
get a clear view of your affairs and
know what is going on everywhere.
While you are buried in detail your
business may be in a dangerous posi-
ton, from which you could extricate it
II you knew the exact situation.
Many a man fails in trying to be a
general and private Mt the same
time-O. 9. Marden in Success Maya

Egypt, with vigor and integrity, he
was always at the fore-not only by

Joseph seems to have been the first
to realize that the promised Hebrew

Topic for May II.

Joseph's biographer traces his life
from the time of his obedient youth to
his devout and trustfu1 old age. and al
most uniformly the character present
ed commands our admiration and re-
spect. Possibly, he was a little ex-
ultant as he related the dreams fore
telling his dominance over his breth-
rem, and possibly. too, he was over
ready to report his brothers evil con-
duct. Yet it may all have been done
from a sense of duty. and the latter
was perhaps an actual carrying out of
his fathers directions. as when he
went cheerfully and bravely to the
herdsmen's camp at Dothan. No
sense of ill-will or bad faith bred fear
in his mind, as had been the case with
his father when about to meet Esau.
His nature was not able to compre-
bend the cold bloodedness of his
brothers, who could sit down and eat
perhaps the very food he had brought
them while his pleadings and cries
were ringing in their ears. But forgive
ness grew somewhere in the root from
which sprang an Esau and a Joseph,
and overwhelming tenderness made
the ruler of Egypt go out to weep, as
he saw, after so many years, the lad"
Benjamin, gathered before him with
his brothers. Unembittered by the
falsity of the charges on which he was

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Republicans and democrats alike
next president of the United States,
ard the rank and file of both these
great parties stand together in one
regard and that is that they want a
man who will truly represent the
people and their best interests. At
the last election President Roosevelt
received the greatest plurality any
president ever received. While he
had more than enough republican
votes to secure his election, his plur-
atty was swelled by the votes of
hundreds of thousands of democrats,
and these democrats voted for the
Man, in whom they felt confident
All his acts since the last election
have justified the confidence the peo-
pie reposed i'll him. President Roose-
welt has fought for the people
against predatory wealth and their
hirlings. political grafters. and while
his victories in many cases have only
been partial yet even this has been
a victory of principle, leaving room
for further progress without so much
opposition. And it is President Roose-
vets successor to whom the people
must look for continuing the work
of reform. Whether he be democrat
or republican he must be for the peo-
pie. The rank and file of both these
great parties can afford to differ in
regard to their political beliefs and
differ in demanding that honest and
sincere candidates head both party
tickets President Roosevelt has
sounded the note of warning for the
voters of the republican party and
has shown them that the leaders of
predatory wealth with a $4,000, 900
corruption fund. are already at work
trying to secure control of the next
republican convention. Furthermore
this :J.0GU.cOO corruption fund is to be
turned on the democratic party also, |
and the work is even now going on |
to control its delegates
and secure the nomination of a cor

the corporations win out and each |
party is lead by corporation man, |
the leaders of predatory wealth may |
well say, Heads / win, tails you

ers in both ~arties use their influ- |
