A LIVING OR A LIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
cOpyrlgh.. lsOs. BY EDWIN a. &c.

Make a living" said the late Gov
address to young men, but remember
there is one thing better than making
living. and that is making life"
What is the difference between max
ing living and making life?
II is the difference between material
and ideal. between seltishness and al
trulsm.
For instance:
The philosophy OF Goethe and Soho
penhauer. which is the philosophy OF
many successful men" OF today. Is
this; Look only on the serene and
bright. Do not concern yourself with
suffering. Let the miserable ones
alone. BE cheerfully blind TO the mis-
fortunes of others The more you do
for others the less you can do for your
self. Use others. BE careful they do
not use you Cultivate yourself.
In other words. this philosophy says.
Get therei''
But there is another philosophy
which says: BE mindful OF others
misery. Help your neighbor. Make
good principles into 6esh-CHARAC.
TER Open your mind aud heart TO
truth and beauty and love. and put ms
much OF generous and outgoing sym.
pathies and interests" In your life as
you can.
That's making a life.
In the nervous tension OF modern
existence men are so absorbed In the
task Of making living that many for
get the higher part OF themselves
They have no time for real living.
Nowadays men are trying TO make a
living after they are millionaires. They
stunt their best faculties and rob
themselves Of the Joy OF normal living
They become one sided. half developed
individuals.
Like the Span!ards they say MANA
ma" They will lie happy tomorrow
or next year And they sink into the
grave still trying 20 make living.
What grander thing IN all conception
than TO make life-to feel and know
every day that one is growing wider.
deeper. higher in mental and moral
power?
Anybody can make living.
Too few OF Us are trying to make q

Here is an interesting revelation of
The child mind.
The first thing that strikes one is the
overwhelming patriotic trend OF the
children. Another thing is the entire
absence OF the commercial spirit. There
is no millionaire or captain of industry
on the list.
II may be stated that those childen

mothers voted their real sentiments.
The other votes are the reflection Of
adult opinion.

Blessings on the head OF the children
who cast that ballot. The normal child
Is the one who thinks its father the
greatest and best man. II the child
thinks otherwise there Is something
the matter with 1t or with the father.
The father has every advantage I'm
that from the first the child looks up
TO him. He only needs to be firm
but gracious sovereign TO be always
the king There are those Of us who
have gray threads In our hair who yet
believe that father" is the grandest
and noblest man we have ever known.

Those votes came naturally They
voiced a real conviction On second

MILK AND KINDNESS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Think of it
II you work ut the dairy farm of
Mrs Addle f.. HOWE you must say
Good morning" to her cows.
Eleven years ago Mrs Howie was
y Milwaukee society woman. Now she
Is the acknowledged authority on Jer-
sey cattle breeding In this country.
More than that.
She is on the staff OF the Wisconsin
Agricultural college as lecturer. and
students OF dairy work and stock
breeding come from all over the coun-
try to attend her lectures. Eleven
years ago she was afraid to look Mt
cow" as she puts 1t.
What new thing has this successful
woman contributed to the science of
cattle breeding? Chiefly this:
She employs kindness.
Now. you would scarcely suppose
that the yield of cows milk could be
doubled by kindness? Mrs. HOWE has
proved tnat 10 DE true.
She says every stroke of pettlng. ev-
cry word OF love and every bit Of APP
probation and attention bestowed on a
COW will come back to you in dollars
and cents. Put in affection with your
scientific feeding and | promise it will
repay YOU"
For instance:
Mrs. HOWE coaxed and caressed
twenty-five pounds and five ounces OF
butter out of Sadie lie Pet. one of her
favorites. in seven days. She sells
calves for $500 apiece. and they are
bespoken before they are born. And
her cows take first prizes wherever
they are shown.
OF course you must really love your
COW IL you want to double her yield
of milk by kindness. Mrs. Howie Is
In love with her pretty creatures.
Isn't the woman's theory fine?
And 1t has its uses.
You may lecture a brutal owner OF a
COW about being kind to all of Gods
creatures and 1t will never get under
his skin. But show him that lie is
cheating himself out of dollars-thats
another story.
And by analogy
If 1t pays to be kind to COW. will
1t not pay 10 be kind 10 horse or a
dog-or even human being?

nhNLD OANks nhNLU THAN
Considerable fuss was recently made
because an eastern millionaire has
stopped" to marry a hired girl living
In Iowa.
Why?
The girl must have graces and per-
sonal points or the millionaire would
not have chosen her. And II is safe 10
say that morally she is his equal il not
his superior
There is no STOPPING about II.

the hired girl was just 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 hired man
And so are all our senators and con-
gressmen and dlplomats-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 man 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
10 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 no attention TO the accidents

His old head droops.
You remember when there was a

check. causing painful tension of the
flcxor muscles of the neck. hindering
full respiration and circulation of the
blood and causing quick fatigue. Now
he can hold his head up only for a
short time.
Note the punches OF gray hair on
Bits back.
Those are saddle gals made by your

AUSTRALIANS ARE
pug" CRAZY

NEW YORK, Dee. THE whole
country of Australia is stirred up over
the fight between Tommy Burns and
Jack johnson, according to information
received here today. Both men are
working hard and will be in prime con-
dition for the boat.
Ed Stevens, a prominent Sydney
sporting man, in letter to a friend in
this city, declares that no sporting
event ever had the country by the ears
as has the coming bout. He declares
that the movements of the men from
the time they rise in the morning I'M
til taps are sounded at the quarters
are reported in the papers and that
crowds daily watch them box and do
their indoor work.
johnson is a prime favorite with
every one. and so is Burns. Both fight
ers have made hundreds of friends, but
the big negro gets along better with
the public than the champion.

RUGBY SERIES
in VACATION

During the Christmas vacation a
number of rugby practise games will
be played on the Aliiolani College
campus, due notice of which will ap-
pear in the Advertiser. All boys
wishing to get the hang of the game
and all old players who want game
for change and some exercise are
invited to come out and get IN the
game.
There is every convenience for
changing, dressing rooms and shower
baths, and the management of the col
lege is anxious to see others besides
the students come out and take advan-
tage of the opportunity to have some
fun in the fresh air.
The first game will be played this
morning at II O'Clock. The reason It
is in the morning is that there will
be soccer in the afternoon, and all the
Rugby players want to be out at the
league grounds and help to root their
favorites to victory. Those who can
conveniently do so, should be out there
by half past ten, so that sides may be
picked and everything in readiness for
the whistle to blow at II.
Richard will captain one side this
morning, playing at threequarter or
halfback, while Densham will have
charge of the other side, playing IN
the serum or as wing forward. Mr..
Blackman will tote the whistle and
may be relied on to keep the game
going at fast pace.
After the soccer series is over there
will be practise games on Saturday af-
ternoons and other afternoons during
the week, so that players who are UNI
able to get away in the morning Will
be able to take part. Mr.. Waldron
states that several men have notified
him of their intention to get in, and
everybody who has the least idea of
playing should make a point of going
out to the games.
