Forget Yourself.

Forget yourself You will never
do anything great until you do. Self
consciousness is disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can
never get away from themselves.
They become warped upon the subject
Of self. analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think of them, how they can en-
hance their own interests. 10 other
words, every thought and every effort
seems 10 focus upon self /; nothing ra.
dates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
ara self-centered. The sympathies Of
the man who thinks only Of himself
are soon dried up. Self-consciousness
acts as a paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement. kills aspirs-
ton, cripplss executive ability. The
mind which accomplishes things looks
out, not in; it is focused upon its OBJ
jsct, not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been IN.
consciously performed. The greatest
prayers have been the silent longings,
the secret yearnings of the heart, not
those which have been delivered fac
ing critical audience. The daily
defirs is the perpetual prayer, the
prayer that is heard and answered.

"You haven't delivered the deeds
yet, have youl"
"Did you think l was going to give
him a chance to cool Off" demanded
Jordan. "That's not my way of do
ing business. l Just took him across
the hall and had the deeds drawn and
turned over to him. The money is in
the bank by now"
"And you can't possibly get it
back?" asked the other mananIiously
II couldn't be forced to take it
back" was the answer, followed by
the rumbling laugh. 'I've put that
parcel on poor Harlan so tight that
it's going to stick. What's worrying
you ABOUT it ?"
Jordan, Harlan didn't tell you
that he had given 40 acres of his land
to the Mower d Reaper people, did
he2" asked the agent,
"They're going to take a site on the
other side of the river" said Jordan.
II picked up few acres cheap just
the other side of their plant. They
employ several thousand people and
there will be fortune in sites for
homes for the workmen.
"Thsy were planning to build over
there" said the visitor slowly, "but
the cost of the land was run up when
it was discovered who wanted it. Then
Harlan came along and heard Of the
deal and gave them 40 acres outright,
and looked to the other go to make
his profit. Now you've made him a
present of 200 acres for $40, when I
came to offer you an even $l0O an
acre"
For . moment Jordan's face pur.
pied. He knew the ground and he
knew that the 200 acres were about
all that could be used by the factory
and town that would arise nearby.
1t would be impossible to pick up
any more land, for Harlsn's holdings
we're on 4 peninsula and the Jordan
tract was immedi ,tsly behind that.
On the other side of the road was
marsh that it would scarcely pay to
fill in. Harlan had the game in his
own hands.
The visitor took his departure when
he found that Jordan had no land to
sell, and the old man was left alone to
think things over. As result of his
cogitations he reached for the tele-
phone and called up his house.
"Is young Harlan there p he asked
when he heard his daughters voice in
answer. "Tell him to wait, he added.
"Ask him to stay to dinner. We
might as we'll settle whom you two are
to be married"
Il wanted to let him in on my in-
formation explained Sidney when
Verns demanded light on the peculiar
message. at seems that he wants his
son-iu.law to be able to do him and
l did him-just to oblige."
"And you'll sell the land back to
him ?" urged Verna.
"Not bit of it, asserted Harlan.
HE wouldn't really like me if l did.

in a place which showed little or
no sign Of damage. The telephone
fuse, ground wire, and length OF
wire, leading away from the house
were also destroyed, But although
there were six occupants in the va

the nervous shock which explosion
