The following article appeared in
the Jefferson County Union, Fort At
kinson. 1t contains so much truth
that it Is worthy of a wide circulation,
hence it is published in The Leader,
Ed.
Harmony is wonderful word for
it means so much. 1t is the soul and
majesty of music, it means all that
the universe means for without har-
munious action chaos would reign amid
the earth and heavens. Let us make
practical study, for few moments,
of this wonderful word.
The Christian Scientists have done
some wonderful things in healing the
sick. Yet the main secret of it
is that they teach the great lesson of
harmonious thinking. If you have
health, you must think, talk and act in
harmony with health, and not disease.
Some men are in constant clash with
their fellow men; they irritate and
provoke they do not produce harmony.
Some teachers have never learned the
secret of producing in their own minds
feeling of harmony with the truths
they desire to teach and SO they do
not create a feeling of harmonious
action and purpose III the minds OF
their pupils. Some preachers are SO
filled with the spirit of normal hatred
of sin, as they understand sin. that
they beget feeling in their own
minds of hatred towards men. 1t is
hard to make such men see that a
loving sinner may be really better
man than hating saint.
Some men come to their business
with such lack of harmony in feeling
with what that business demands,
that it makes them cross, domineer-
ing, i'll natured with employees and
crstomers and so they drive business
away from them. They never studied
how to be in harmony with men and
things. They do not realize that this
must be done, Or else, they will prove
a failure.
N every line of human effort,
whether we are teachers, preachers,
merchants, farmers, mechanics, or
editors, there exists a central unity,
or spirit or ideal, call it wnat we will,
that must be obeyed, else we fail.
Every man and woman should strive
to understand what that central ideal
or purpose is in the work he or she is
doing. With that understanding once
established in their comprehension, as
we'll as the resolve to live in harmony
with all things, that conduce to 1T,
they will make success of their
work.
How many men do we see who seem
to be at cross purposes with the work
they are doing The trouble is that
they have never brought themselves
into harmony with that work.
There is great lot of badly trained
OF unframed men, women and children
in this world. Such people are never
harmonious with the great central
purposes of their life. They think
business or fate is not fitted 20 their
peculiar bent of mind. Possibly not

A Parable

Once farmer had 1900 bushels Of
wheat, which he sold not to single
grain merchant, but to 800 different
dealers, bushel to each. A few of
them paid him in cash, but far the
greater number said it was not con-
venient then; they would pay later. A
few months passed and the mans
bank account ran low. "How is this?'
he said, "My 1900 bushels of grain
should have kept me in affluence un-
til another crop is raised, but l have
parted with the grain and have in
stead only vast number of accounts,
so small and scattered that | cannot
get around and collect fast enough to
pay expenses.
So he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said.
'.Mine is only small matter, and
will go pay one OF these days, forget
ting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant large sum to the man.
Things went on thus; the man got to
feeling so bad that he fell out of bed
and awoke, and, running to his gram
cry, found his 1,SOO bushels of wheat
still safe there. He had only been
dreaming.
Moral: The next day the man
went to the publisher of his paper
and said: "Here, sir, is the pay for
your paper, and when next years sub
scription is due you can depend on
me to pay it promptly. | stood in the
position of an editor last night, and l
know how it feels to have ones hon
estly earned money scattered all over
the country in small amounts. -

Disraeli and the Tsar

An interesting story is told concern
ing Disraeli During the Turkish war
1.-The Tsar was forced to realize that
he had bitten off more than he could
chew, and was driven to such stress
that he made overtures to Disraeli,
through the British military attache,
with the Russian army to negotiate
peace with Turkey. Disraeli, with the
idea, it is presumed, of humbling Rus
sia for its treatment of the Jews, de-
clined.'
The same writer draws attention to
Turkeys s consistent good treatment Of
the Jews. "Though it is only in re-
cent times that the Jewish civil disa-
bilities were repealed, Turkey is the
only country in Europe that has
throughout been free of any anti-Jew-
ish propaganda. When the treaty Of
Berlin was signed, there were some
10000 peaceful and industrious Jews
i'm Roumania. The bulk of these have
since emigrated to Turkey for protec-
ton" There were surely more than
10000 Jews in Roumania in 1878, and
the bulk of the emigrants from that
country have not gone to Turkey.

PREPARATION FOR BUSINESS

1t is astonishing how doors fly open
in different directions when we are
prepared to enter. A young man pre-
pared to fill superior position does
not need to force an entrance The
whole world is hunting for the right
man. Everybody wants to employ the
man who possesses the greatest abil-
ity.
Anyone who is not content with his
present occupation and is sincerely
ambitious for better things, will find
in the Modern School of Business a
golden opportunity. We guarantee
that results will be satisfactory. No
school in the West is better equipped
for the important work it undertakes.
The school is enrolling a splendid
class CT young people from Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota. New Mexico,
Wyoming, Colorado and other west
ern states. Special pains are taken to
place young people under the best in
fluences.

Help Thy Brother

If thou canst speak one little word
To cheer thy brother on his way,
Then fearless let thy voice be heard,
Perchance twill change his night to
day.
If thou canst cast one ray of hope
TO him, when sinking in despair,
Perchance twill prove saving rope.
Fail not to do thy duty there.
If thou canst do kindly deed,
Fail not to act the helpers part,
No matter what thy brothers creed,
He'll feel thy kindness in his heart.
If thou canst lift fallen one
Who journey on in paths Of sin,
BE sure in this thy duty's done,
Though thou no earthly crown may
win.

well, and among the thousands whom
l have met l have not found any
greater percentage of bad people than
