An Essential to Leadership.

The professor of economics was
discoursing eloquently on the need
of leadership in all things, and from
the greatness of the leader he
plunged into discussion of the es-
sentials to leadership, "And what" +"
he exclaimed, sis the great char
acteristic of all born leaders, the
first great essential to successful
leadership"
He paused that the question and
its import might be fully appreci-
ated. "What is it," he asked again.
A small voice coming from the
rear of the room answered cheerful
ly:
"Ready ability to satisfactorily

Where HumOr, Love, AID Mystery Pre-.
Sent.-PleaSant Spring Reading

Is there more independent posi-.
tion in this world than that of d
childless widow left with just enough
money for her not to have to think
about it? cloves Undertow,' the
complese novelette, in LippincOtfS
April number, by Anna A. Rogers,
tells the story of such woman.
Interest is divided between t h {
brainv, well balanced and womanly
widow, and her Amazon girl friend
"Dione,' who refuses to acknOwi-
edge tnat she loves Young phySl-
clan because she is at cuts with
"th:ngs as they are" relating to the
sex question. The reasons for her
capitulation to the cause of loTe, are
ingenious and by no means over
drawn. Though the author declares
in the first paragraph of this fasc'n-
ating tale that the foundation Of
Mrs. De Ro'S second marriage was
laid during the lifetime IF her first
husband, the reader is kept guessing
which of four men is to carry off
the prize. This indicates the con-
summate skill with which the plot
is handled.
The short-stories seem TO have
been selected with a view to "the
best of its kind"-and many kinds.
There is observation-disclosures

cess in this field is uuequalled. ga

Cavalier of Five" by Minna Thom-
as Antrim, is one of a short series
of "Don Sketches" humorous,
touching episodes of child.life, each
one complete in itself. George Ed
wip Hunt contributes "Why ROLLS
on Went to Sumatra, a hilarious
story Of clubdom. ain Which Vel
low Wms," by Will Lexington Com
fort, depicts life in mining town,
with fidelity and strength. The
charm of Southern romance is insis,
tently real in "An Accident" by
Sarah Chichester Page. So satura-
ted in local spirit is she, that the
flirta.ions which she describes may
have been hel own. "The Night
Blooming MillerS," closes the series
of neighborhood stories by Marion
Hill. These humorous flashlights
seem to be we'll liked.
Two papers of extraordinary inter
est are "Eastel Time in Rome,' by
Anne Holnngsworth Wharton, and
"Ibsen and HIS Ism," by Joseph M.
Rogers.
A good deal of curiosity is en-
pressed by both readers and writers
about the new Department, "Ways
of the Hour which is introduced
in the april Lippincotfs. This
must be seen to be appreciated.

is "The Demon of Notre Dame. -

Rheumatism Cannot Be
Cured Unless Uric-O
Is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis are Caused By Poison
GUS Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ing the claims OF almost any remedy adver-
sed as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
S arcely blame him for being so.
MI the plasters and liniments COM
lined never actually cured case Of
rheumatism. They may relieve it in one
quarter. but it is sure to break out somewhere
else. The only true way to cure Rheumatism
Is TO drive it from the system, for as long as
the Uric and Rheumatic Acid remains in the
blood, one is never entirely free from the
trouble. This is where the value Of Uric-O
as permanent cure for Rheumatism comes
il. 1t seeks out the Rheumatic poison in the
blood, muscles and Kidneys, renders it inert
and harmless and drives it out of the system.
That is why Uric.O is such an admirable and
Elective cure for rheumatism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such a
wonderful cure for rheumatism is, that it is
designed and prepared TO cure Rheumatism
and Rheumatism only. 1t is composed of
pc feet antdotes for the rheumatic acid poi
,,n in the system. That is the secret Of
its wonderful success. Rheumatism simply
cannot exist in PERSONS system if UIic-O is
used
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 7sc and $500
the bottle, but il you still feel skeptical about
ITS efficacy you can test it free of charge by
cutting out this advertisement and sending
same together with your name and address,
also the name Of your druggist. to The Smith
Drug Company, 264 Smith Bldg, Syracuse,
n. Y, and they will send you a sample bottle
tree. To persons who write and say they have
never used Uric.O and want to test it thor.
