A untain of Ants.

The house l was occupying in India

with many bungalows, the inner walls
were constructed of merely sun dried
bricks, and In the ~recesses of one wall

a nest. 1t was evening. l heard be-

and from a hole near the bottom of the

white ants ascending. They reached
the ceiling, and then the descent COM
menced. They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off their
wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the
plates. the glasses. even the lamp
shades, were covered with the little
white, feeble. crawling creatures. The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. When, next

HIRED GIRL, HIRED a
BY EDWIN A. Y
Copyright. 1908. BY Edwin A. Nye.

WINK IA TTsEEFI#r
Considerable fuss was recently made
because an eastern millionaire has
stopped" to marry a hired girl living
In Iowa.
Why7
The girl must have graces and per
sonal points or the millionaire would
not have chosen her. And it is safe to
say that morally she is his equal il not
his superior.
There is no STOPPING about it.
They were on a level, or. If anything,
the hired girl was just a little above
the millionaire.
All of us in America who amount to
anything are hired people.
No doubt this millionaire is a hired
man in charge OF some big corporation.
Roosevelt Is a hired man.
And so are all u senator's and con-
gressmen and diplomats-servants in
the pay of the people.
And, fellow citizens:
One Of the things that are the matter
with this country is the growing tend
ency to look down on the nan who
works with his hands or the woman
who works with her hands.
The tendency is devilish and danger
GUS.
Let US learn again that the hands
that are SCARED by honest toll bear
wounds as honorable as those received
In battle. The overalls and the ging-
ham aprons of labor are as honorable
as and vastly more useful than all the
martial trappings and uniforms of war.
Let US learn again that the doctrine
Of the dignity of labor Is fundamental
to the republic.
And so we say hurrah for the hired
girl and the hired man, these two who
loved each other for what they were
and paid n attention to the accidents
of fortunes!

Most large establishments dealing in

From the tow-

ascent.

spring example the career Of
James A. Garfield furnishes an
ideal and an Incentive. From
the towpath to the presidency is a long
ascent. He had no outward helps
In making that climb, but rose only
through the strength of his own char
acter. Not only did he rise himself, but
he formulated a gospel Of success and
gave it to the world. He was not with
out the qualities that appeal to the in
%tellect, but he was supreme In the
qualities that appeal to the heart. Gen
erous and warm hearted, yet cool and
unimpassioned, strong without harsh
ness, self reliant without b~oorishness,
righteous without phariseeism, reli-
gious without priggishness, witty with
out wounding others, possessing good
fellowship without letting himself down
to things ignoble or unworthy, Garfield
was great in his goodness. While pos
sessing much will power, he was not
rigid and by some was considered
weak. He did not overawe others and
force his way by sheer ability, but
rather drew men to him and won his
points by persuasive arts. His nature,
while rugged, was not rough, but was
mellowed by a great kindness. In his
presence men felt him to be greater
than the things he did or said. There
was in his very atmosphere that indie
Enable something which inspires con-
ddence and esteem. Without being daz-
tling or ~supereminent In any line he
did all things well. An inspiring teach.
Or and minister, q brave and resource
full soldier, a winning and eloquent
speaker, a broad minded and efficient
legislator, he was far above mediocrity
In every field. Had he remained a SOL
der to the end Of the war he might
have been one Of our greatest generals;
had his life been spared he might have
been n of u most illustrious presi-
dents. Concerning these things we can
only speculate. But It was his great
ness as a man that was felt by the
world rather than his especial accom-
plishments in any field Of endeavor.
Here is n saying Of Garield's that
